Raypeatforum.com is down and the lions are crying out there. Who was it?

@Mossy thanks for your input. You are not the first one that mentioned milk. I do eat a lot of cheese though, and I always been hesitant to drink milk, even when I was a kid. I was always drinking orange juice instead. Maybe I should give it a try..

@thyroidchor27 Most of it was starch. I eat white rice, potatoes and sugars (orange juice, honey, white sugar on coffee) for one year now but I used to it lots of pasta, rice, potatoes back then (almost no sugar).
Despite of the changes my weight remains the same. I look like a 22 year old twink and I am 34. I am just tired of looking that weight. I just want to look like a Man.
Woudl be nice to have more like a bearish type. Stocky, alpha, some body hair.

Do you think taking DHEA without preg/progesterone would increase body hair in males?

@haidut may I ask for your opinion in this matter, please? I'd really appreciate that!

@mostlylurking said in How to lower Adrenaline:

@fd The vitamin A supplementation is controversial; I just rely on my diet for vitamin A which does include eggs.

I've found lower doses of niacinamide to be more helpful; I take 100mg, 4Xday. I got better results taking it this way than taking 200mg, 2Xday. Niacinamide is water soluble so it doesn't stick around for longer than a couple of hours.

Which thiamine are you taking?

I found it really important to rely on a good endocrinologist to help me with my hypothyroidism. He spent 9 months optimizing my dose of desiccated thyroid supplement (NP Thyroid by Acella). He ran blood tests on me about every 6-8 weeks. It wasn't something that I could have done without him.

Thiamine Hydrochloride, 500mg

@fd I forgot to mention I also heard about taking more Salt. But I take enough salt almost in everything I eat. (particularly Vera Salt) 🧂

Hi,

Throughout the years I have seen some people, including me, who can eat whatever they want and will not put on weight. I am currently 34 and I have tried different things like: eating lot of garbage foods, high fat diet, high carb, high calories (between 5000-7000), vegan, carnivore and never gained weight. Maybe 5-10lbs but that’s all I could do. Also that weight made me look Skinny fat.

After discovering Peat I have learned people with this condition are mostly hypothyroid with low ATP levels (I am always tired), with high adrenaline. Cortisol could be high or low but in my case it’s low.

In the old RPF I read things like “ "Many in the Peat community are unknowingly dealing with chronically high-adrenaline and are wrongly attributing their issues to hyperthyroidism and high cortisol when they're actually hypothyroid and low cortisol/high adrenaline."
Or “ ironic how the stereotypical "good metabolism" person is a person who eats whatever they want but stays remarkably thin. in reality that phenotype is likely characterized by intestinal malabsorption and/or sky high adrenaline/cortisol” or “ Interesting, makes sense. I feel like I often see like high histamine/adrenaline/calorie burning people. Then the real high metabolism people, I imagine, are like high testosterone for guys and just very healthy. Also, don't really gain fat easily, tho.”

Things that helped me drastically with my energy:

• T3

Things that helped with energy:

• B1 Thiamine
• Magnesium
• Vitamin D

However my weight is still the same 150lbs, height 5,11, age 34 while eating the most peaty as possible, supplementing high quality fat soluble vitamins (A, D, K, E) in addition of Magnesium glycinate, T3. And ‘every now and then’: Zinc gluconate, Niacinamide, Cypro, DHEA.
Last Prolactin levels test result: 8.3 ng/ml

Recently this post came up to my attention relating it to mostly low ATP, insulin, hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia (which I had in the past): https://selfhack.com/blog/top-10-reasons-why-thin-people-are-more-anxious-and-tired/
I know this blog comes from Joe Cohen and I know he’s not the most reliable person when it comes down to bioenergetics).

Things I am gonna start trying:

• Cardenosine (from Idealabs)

Any suggestions, non-medical advice, information that you can provide to help me gain weight and correcting my energy/low atp issues??

Thank you all.

I was taking:

• 500mg Magnesium Glycinate a day

Currently (just started):

• 500mg Magnesium Glycinate
• 1000mg Niacinamide

Soon I will add:

• Cardenosine (from idealabs)

Other things I take on a daily basis which I am unsure if that helps: Vitamin A, D, K, E, B1, T3.

Hi,

I am looking to lower my adrenaline levels. Read of:

• Niacinamide
• Glycine
• Taurine
  https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/lowering-adrenaline.4602/#post-55592
• Vitamin B6
  https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/vitamin-b6-may-be-anti-adrenaline-and-thus-anti-stress.3245/

However, I have never felt did a significant difference. Unfortunately I have hypothyroid symptons, high adrenaline/low cortisol, low vitamin D/A even supplementing with relatively high doses (10000-15000UI daily), cold sweaty feet winter, cold feet(sometimes hands also) and warm temp for the rest of the body, very skinny (always been) even eating garbage food or high calories.

Any suggestion on how to lower adrenaline? Already taking t3
