Unable to feel any sort of effect, positive or negative, from any supplement
-
Caffeine, vitamins, magnesium, aspirin, methylene blue. None of them have done anything for me, or so it seems since I can't actually measure any sort of difference, either by feel or by any metric I've had the patience to measure.
Is that a bad thing, though? I think I'm generally of a pretty decent health, save for a few issues I'm working on in the background.

Actually, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the slightest boost to my alertness from a couple of cups of coffee taken with milk and sugar - but that's the only substance in the Peat sphere I have ever had do anything for me.

How’s your liver health? Can you drink coffee at night without keeping you up? Is your tolerance to alcohol non-existent?
In the time I’ve been using Peat’s work to better my health, the people I’ve come across who were non-responders to supplements typically had liver dysfunction.

@evan-hinkle Yes and yes. I drink a few doses of mild alcohol substances perhaps once a month, and it's enough to get me in a good state. Coffee doesn't seem to affect my sleep at all.
-
Perhaps serotonin? It could be dampening your interoception or even interfering with the supplements to a degree; what MB dose did you take and how often?
Pregnenolone or progesterone are worth a try. -
@stahl That does suggest you have a metabolic problem, not something you can fix with a simple supplement.
Check for hypothyroidism by taking underarm temperature in the morning for a few days, if it's constantly low (<37°C) then hypothyroidism is most likely.

@stahl it's a good thing. TTFD, T3, preg, cypro might make you "feel something" but why bother
-
@onliest why do you think it's a good thing? What does not feeling anything from supplements tell about a person?

I am the same. I don't notice anything from caffeine either. I can drink it at night and go to sleep.
I do notice drinking alcohol but I don't drink much.
When I was younger (I'm 60 now) I tried marijuana, pretty potent stuff when I lived with the bedouins. I never noticed anything either, just that I wanted to sleep.
I can't say if it's good or bad. But I am very healthy, I am never sick.
I do still take some supplements because I think I can benefit from it after menopause. I would like to be thin again since the hormone change made me have some bellyfat. But alas, no change yet.My daughter has the same thing. She got pancreatitis when she was 17. Terrible situation. They gave her morphine, quite a bit of it. But she felt nothing. Just till awful pain. It took a while until they found something that did work. I think it was deladet. No idea how you spell that.

Food is a substance in the Peat sphere. How does that treat you? What’s your morning temperature? What’s your resting heart rate? Do you dream interesting dreams? Do you talk nonstop all day? Are you calm under adversity? Do you poop 2-3 times a day?
What are we talking about when you say you don’t feel anything? Peating is about feeling euphoric most of the time. How’s that going?
Ray talked about things like it could take a year or more to find the right dose of thyroid or progesterone. Keep experimenting. That’s the game really.
