Hello everyone. One thing I've noticed when I did a low carb diet and always in the gym is I would barely sweat except for when I'm the sauna. I think I barely sweat before I was into any dieting/nutrition whatsoever, and I still barely sweat after taking a Bioenergetic/Peat-inspired approach over the last year and a half or so.

I no longer have access to a sauna regularly but I believe that would be key to tackling this issue.

Some friends have mentioned vitamin C and maybe even iodine (generally a riskier supplement in my experience) helping with this. I imagine lots of salt would help, and I am curious what users on this forum think as well.

@Serotoninskeptic I regularly supplement cynomel, b vitamins, and Glycine/taurine/tyrosine

Have on hand Diamant, Pregnenolone, DHEA, progestE, 6-keto-P4, Androsterone maybe there are some good combinations that would work.

Noticed a more relaxed mood from 11-Keto-DHT, I have found the backdoor androgens including androsterone to be relaxing but 11-Keto-DHT 2 mg is relaxing in a way that Andro is not.

Recently I've been focusing more on the electron transport chain and mitochondrial energy production.
Supplemented various B vitamins including thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, inositol, and P5P.

One other key factor in mitochondrial energy production is coenzyme Q10 and I was curious what other's experiences are and dosing that worked for them for various purposes.

I have a congenital heart condition (bicuspid aortic valve) so CoQ10 may be of particular relevance to me.

For the record I started off with one gram as it arrived in the mail today from Purebulk and my weight is 210lbs/95kg. Will follow up with results.

One thing so far is potentially increased blood flow to extremities (hands, feet), and feeling generally relaxed and energized. It's a very slight general improvement and will see if this is repeatable and has duration to it.

Also, I wanted to thank everyone for sharing different experiences, resources, exercises and insights to improve this issue!

Update:

Have lost some weight by focusing on liver function (sunlight, thyroid, carrot salad, boiled white button mushrooms, lapodin) and have focused on that aspect of posture as well. Temps are maintained and bad water retention is reduced.

Still got a ways to go! Feel good and comfortable with moderate exercise too!

@02hellandback The carrot salad is helping. Nate Lawrence's video and essay on improving gut health mentioned well chewing the carrot salad. I think it helps. Still got a ways to go but definitely noticing marginal improvements!

Doing a 2 week cycle of doxycycline and fenbendazole as well, hoping these approaches synergize.

Diet is varied but lots of sugary drinks (mostly sodas and energy drinks) and supplementing taurine and collagen. Other things include rice, beef, ice cream.

And the other reply mentioned how fixing APT lead to further digestive improvement. Really goes to show how energy and structure are interdependent at every level, or at least in this case haha.

@Peatful the joke is that Dave Asprey monetizes everything he does

@Mike_Fave

Nice recipe!

What coffee maker do you use?

Some in the Peat community have resolved posture issues by first resolving gut and thyroid/energy issues.

Yesterday I read about someone who resolved their gut issues by improving their posture (the reverse).

What would you do to improve posture and gut function especially with regards to anterior pelvic tilt?
