@ThinPicking i cannot seem to understand the second part of your message

@Rah1woot

how would you suggest I repair this serotonergic state I'm drowning in?

I did use ashwaganda religiously in the past, didnt have any noticable effect on me(other than it being my first supplement🫥)

@Corngold I will try it out and report back on my finding

@ThinPicking the question is how can one reach that relief consistently through science or something one can replicate?

@Corngold I am planning to do that, but I am going to keep the stuff i cannot get from my diet

@Kilgore so where do androgenic types store fat?(I understand that they burn more fat so it may be less noticable)

Today's Game:

Diet Note:
Today I realized I've been consuming too much choline through diet and supplements, so I skipped my usual cdp-choline. I'm planning to cycle it from now on, taking it only once every four days.

Performance:
Played below average—made many stupid mistakes mixed with a few great moments. Frustratingly, most of my stupid mistakes followed something impressive, like dribbling past multiple defenders only to completely misplace a simple pass leading to a counterattack against us. I prepared as best as I possibly could and felt more confident overall, but those easily avoidable errors still annoy me

Yesterday street game
Tried to replicate what i did the day before to play amazing using the iodized casein
i still played average (some goals stupid mistakes some shimmers of greatness)

could be because of p m por masturb couple hours before

in the evening i endulged even more in p m

Training (2 days ago):

I ate my usual non-training day diet but added a big beefy meal right after waking up (8 hours before 1 session).

I had two training sessions: one with my regular team, and another session with a pro team that's older and plays one league above us (their official team, not youth).

First session (my team):
Typical session, I was doing some amazing/creative stuff but also making really stupid mistakes. Kept ruminating through the whole training, feeling like I wasn't doing enough compared to my teammates (later realized this was serotonin related, and I’ve fixed it, so it's no longer a problem).

Second session (pro team):
Started off okay, but then remembered I finally packed my iodized casein and took some. After that, I started playing so well that I actually worried they might suspect I was on drugs. Everything felt effortless, confidence was perfect, and it was easily the best I’ve played in a long time. The coach even approached me afterward and told me if I keep playing like this, I have a start 11 spot on their team next season

Game Day (7 days ago):
diet before match :
3 coffee
500 mg aspirin
dextrose /glucose
500 or 200 mg citocoline/cdp-choline + noopept
500 mg ltheanine
magnesium chlorid all over legs
(extra: night before i also took 27 grams of sweet basil)

The game was scheduled at 12:00 PM, and I typically wake up at 11:00 AM.

Before the game, I felt good, confident, dominant, and was joking around comfortably with my teammates. However, during the warm-up, I suddenly lost all confidence and became quiet and emotionless.

When the game started, I immediately felt overwhelmed and played poorly, losing every ball and making continuous mistakes. It was going terribly, so I asked the coach to substitute me out temporarily. I requested to return after about 10 minutes, and the coach agreed. When I re-entered the game, I was placed in a position I had never played before because our defender was injured.

Despite the unfamiliar position, I played exceptionally well. I felt confident, dominant (what I can best describe as feeling "DHT dominant"), and controlled my half of the field effectively, and I was able to execute good plays.

I'm here desperately seeking urgent help after thousands of unsuccessful changes. Below are details about my current situation:

Non-training Days:

• Similar supplement routine, except:
  • No Noopept
  • One large beef-based meal consumed in the morning (Bromelain supplement taken before the meal)

Social and Athletic Background:

• I believe I am fairly social, humorous, and comfortable in social settings, receiving attention from girls and respect from boys.

Current Athletic Situation:

• Despite gaining approximately 20 pounds since following Peating principles, I've now found an effective method for weight loss and have already lost about 4 pounds.
• Currently in the starting eleven for my team.
• On the field, my performance varies significantly:
  • Most often: I perform terribly and robotically, but with brief moments of impressive creativity that surprise even me.
  • Rarely: I have games where I play incredibly well.
• Off the pitch, I'm confident before and after games, but during games, I often feel emotionless, robotic, speak in a higher-pitched, less assertive voice, and make unnecessary mistakes.

Athletic Goals:

• I strongly believe I possess the necessary soccer abilities. My inconsistency seems primarily physical, as there are days when everything goes perfectly, and days when I struggle immensely.

Bad Habits:

Sometimes I indulge too much in PM.

Late nights: I usually prefer sleeping past midnight because I feel mentally better around that time (though during the college semester, this habit changes due to early classes).

Vocabulary:

Stupid mistakes = Extremely bad mistakes that are easily avoidable, such as missing an open goal or failing a simple pass.

PM: Porn and masturbation (without orgasm, as orgasm negatively impacts my parasympathetic system and increases amygdala activity).

These obstacles have brought me here, seeking your advice and guidance. I am willing to let you take control over my athletic career choices. I'll log my daily experiences and game performances here regularly, allowing you to draw helpful conclusions

@Mauritio @Kvirion I’ve looked a bit more into which compounds may be responsible for DHT inhibition in basil, and I found that it’s probably linalool and/or 1,8-cineole. Some ways to reduce these compounds are:

1. Drying the basil at 40°C – This can reduce linalool content by up to 59%, according to studies.

2. Hot water infusion – Both linalool and 1,8-cineole are oils and therefore hydrophobic, meaning they tend to remain in the leaves. Meanwhile, water-soluble compounds like rosmarinic acid dissolve into the infusion.

3. Use Ocimum basilicum var. purpureum – This variety contains only up to 0.2% linalool and no significant presence of 1,8-cineole. Instead, methyl chavicol dominates, making up about 57.3%.

4. Add baking soda to the solution – This can make the phytoestrogens in basil less stable

@Mauritio yep

@Mauritio A study screening Thai plants for 5α-reductase inhibitory activity found that Ocimum basilicum had a finasteride equivalent activity (FEA) value of 63.12 ± 0.57, indicating significant inhibition compared to other plants like Centella asiatica (32.00 ± 0.91)
Opinions?

@Mauritio any assumptions which other Moa it may use to increase testosterone?

@bio3nergetic Don't get me wrong, I wasn't insisting people stop taking vit k. It was just a theory, which you seem to have proved incorrect

@Mauritio but wouldnt me being/feeling as if i am a sheep in a cage indicate that i have too much cortisol/stress?

Plus i just realised the active compound in basil is rosmarinic acid which i saw you mentikned in another thread is Immunosuppressive
