@evan-hinkle Cool, that's great to hear - solid evidence that it raised your metabolic rate.

@voldtzeig Ok cool. For eardrum, I think the target should be even higher than 98.6. E.g. Peat said: "Old people in particular can have brain at a “good temperature, oral 98.6 (37C), eardrum 99.5, for example” … but they’re producing less energy and that shows up as an extreme gradient from the extremities to the brain" from https://bioenergetic.life/clips/74ded?t=5569&c=107.

So lots of room to improve!

@evan-hinkle Awesome to hear, and best of luck for the next few months. Are you now maintaining weight on 3800-4200 kcal?

@voldtzeig Ok cool that's not too bad; how are you measuring temperature btw?

@voldtzeig Ok cool; if somedays you're hitting 2500 or even 3000, I think that's too low for someone of your height and weight. E.g. in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUtxeioima8 70 kg males weighing 150 lbs would regularly eat 3000 kcal. Without an abundance of fuel, the body simply won't increase energy consumption (indicated by pulse and temperature). It could also be other things like needing some more vit B1, or thyroid, or steroids like pregnenolone and testosterone, or needing to correct an inverted cortisol pattern. What is your pulse like?

@voldtzeig Ok cool, and how many calories do you eat per day, and what is your bodyweight?

@jrwhisky apologies, meant to send my earlier message as a reply to @wamantah

@jrwhisky Reminds me of "I’m not aware of a formal name for this, so I’m dubbing it carbosis until further notice. It’s a state where insulin sensitivity dramatically improves, and where carbohydrate metabolism is optimized."

@voldtzeig what does oura say your resting pulse and average pulse at night are?
