RE: Is it possible to force a creative state?
@Milk-Destroyer Aspirin - as it raises dopamine and lowers all the bad stuff... + plus intense music sometimes...
Generally, some kind of pressure/constraints and a perspective shift are good for entering a creative state...

RE: Milk/protein digestion
@bowser I had some similar issues in the past.
For me, the trick was to first heal my GI tract with carrot salad, more carbohydrates (less fat, avoiding PUFAs), and calcium carbonate as a supplement. Moreover, following other bioenergetic guidelines.
Then my stomach became bulletproof and now I do not have any issues with consuming milk, honey, OJ, coffee, etc. -
RE: Post-Viral Illness
@Mallard6146 said in Post-Viral Illness:
Thanks guys.
You're welcome.
Iβll get prolactin checked this week too. Will look at adding the DHEA and cortisol tests also.
Good. You may send updates here too.
Ordered some T3 a while back. I tried it last fall and 12.5mcg did eliminate all symptoms for a day. I only took it once though as I was worried about continuing on using an exogenous hormone.
Yep, first diagnosis, then relevant lifestyle, and dietary changes. Hormones should be used only if any other ways fail...
Have you tried to assess your thyroid with a natural method? I.e. measuring temperature and pulse upon waking and then after breakfast for a few days.
Are you already applying Ray Peat's principles/advice in your daily life and nutrition/supplementation? How is your sleep quality?

RE: Examination of survey data suggest T3 is positively associated with longevity, but not T4.
@Mulloch94 Yeah, the corporate and "rational" (reductionistic) world is probably still in love with a single metric/KPI...
I guess that IQ may be somewhat helpful in measuring the ability to "connect the dots", but intelligence is also about perceiving things "out of the box" (predictive processing), knowing how to make sense of things, not being blinded by ego, etc.
There are also theories about extended cognition i.e. 4E
Fun fact, according to a test done many years ago when I was low in T3, my results in categories of IQ and "processing speed" were exactly on the opposite sides of the Gauss curve, LOL!

RE: Post-Viral Illness
@Mallard6146 It would be also good to check your adrenals:
DHEA and (morning + evening) cortisol levels.
Plus Hando-Jin's advice.There are a few podcasts with Ray talking about chronic fatigue - you can check them with the help of this site https://bioenergetic.life/?q=chronic+fatigue

RE: Examination of survey data suggest T3 is positively associated with longevity, but not T4.
@Mulloch94 Yeah, agreed. Moreover, IQ studies are also criticized from a statistical point of view.
https://medium.com/incerto/iq-is-largely-a-pseudoscientific-swindle-f131c101ba39the most important marker here would've been the ratio of T4 to T3, as a more even one, 3:1

RE: Examination of survey data suggest T3 is positively associated with longevity, but not T4.
@Mulloch94 Fascinating finding, thank you!
It seems to be another proof (besides things like learned helplessness) that poor(er) people aren't "just lazy", but the key ingredient to being more entrepreneurial may also be "the drive" i.e. healthy metabolic (bio)energy.
For a broader audience it would be good to add that formulation of the study's conclusion isn't fully correct. The key issue isn't the level of T4 per se, but its lack of conversion into (free) T3 or even worse conversion of T4 into reverse T3 - which is not mentioned in this research paper together with other factors like low inflammation, low PUFAs, progesterone, and so on, that also influence fT3 levels...

RE: First Wet Dream on Cypro
@onliest said in First Wet Dream on Cypro:
Interesting, thank you for the report!
Yeah, ~3-4mg is a pretty hefty dose...which MOA of cypro would cause this
I can only guess that because of stress your cortisol levels, prolactin, serotonin, and probably estradiol/histamine were perhaps pretty high... Cypro lowered all of them at once which caused a surge of dopamine and testosterone -> DHT, etc. And your sensitized receptors welcomed them very much... kind of a bounce-back effect... Probably, not sustainable for the long-term...
Or maybe a succubi was stroking my shit last night, idrk..
LOL! Maybe, who knows?

@noticer You may want to read this info first https://bioenergetic.forum/post/19449
