I have been trying Lisuride recently and it has been one of the most noticeable and beneficial things from IdeaLabs I have tried yet. It has substantially changed my mood, flow, drive, motivation. A real noticeable change. My wife even commented on how just upbeat I’ve been lately. Very unstressed and can handle stressful situations much much easier.

With that being said is anyone aware of the downside of taking this for extended timeframes? Could it lead to dopamine down regulation? I’m imagining I already had low dopamine based on the beneficial this has been for me. But could it exasperate the issue and cause a dependence?

Further update: back to square one. B1 only worked for about a day. Not sure what else to do. I’ve tried B1, 1g of Cascara Sagrada, magnesium and I’m on 1 grain of thyroid. I poop every two days, sometimes every three. I don’t feel bad or bloated which is odd. The only factor I can think of that has changed that may have caused this is I quit nicotine which I know can help move your bowls.

I recall a post by Haidut on his bodybuilder friends using an 8:1 or an 11:1 P4 and DHEA as a substitute to their Test routine. Has anyone tried this or replicated the results?

You know they use to just call it “Divine Will” or “Fate”… not scripted.

@Andrewㅤ I’ve been taking it for awhile to varying success. 2 drops AM and 2 Drops PM.

I tried your way today. 6 drops spread out through the day and I found it much more helpful and consistent energy flow.

@JulofEnoch just ordered Lisuride a week ago. I’ve been playing with dose. It has been a pretty heavy mood increase for me. I’ve been in the middle of quitting nicotine and my life as of late has been very routine so the lisuride has given me a very noticeable dopamine increase when I use it. Greatly helps my focus at work, mood, motivation. My only complaint is it seems to wear off fairly quickly. But there does seem to be a lingering shift in outlook.

@JulofEnoch yeah I tried full dose among other various doses. Nothing of note

So an update. After trying multiple things. Carrot Salad, high dose Taurine, Cascara Sagrada (this helped a little bit) I stumbled upon high dose Thiamine. Tried 500mg and almost immediately found success. This might be my solution. Possible Thiamine deficiency.

I find stuff like Sythnpop and Future Funk to be very Peaty. Usually upbeat and high energy.

I have a muscle spasm/shoulder injury from repetitive work. It’s a tightness in my right shoulder right below my trap. Sometimes the pain radiates up my neck. My doctor has given me some stretches to do and strengthening exercises since he believes it’s due to a strength imbalance pulling everything to one side. They aren’t working very well.

His other recommendation was the cortisone shot into the muscle or joint. But I’ve read that this can be very bad and even dissolve cartilage.

Any recommendations? Would topical progesterone on the area maybe help?

@PrinceTrebata I believe in some cases the absorption can be better if the supplement in question has poor bioavailability. It also bypasses the liver if I’m not mistaken when applied topically. At least at first.

Potentially can also help reduce issues with digestion. A lot of supplements have fillers like silica dioxide and other toxins you shouldn’t inject.

@JulofEnoch I have used Cardenosine. The few times I used it made my chest hurt not sure why. No other effects I noticed. Maybe better energy, not enough to really tell if it was the substance or not.

@PrinceTrebata unless you are very wealthy I don’t think it’s fully possible to live a life without at least some normal routine. Especially if you have obligations like a family. I think fixing metabolism can in a way make an environment less stressful because you have the energy to engage with it. With that said I think it’s possible also to engage in meaningful things and novel experiences even when bound to a more routine work life. Look for opportunities to do fun and exciting things. I somewhat disagree with the Peat philosophy of constantly needing novel experiences. I think what would be more beneficial would be a return to true leisure as understood by the Greeks, Romans and even societies during the Middle Ages. Where work is not anything else than a means to an end and leisure is prioritized to allow man to think and create culture. When I say leisure I don’t just mean base entertainment to even recreation so much as an ability to just be passive and take in life around you. Instead of this world we live in of “total work” which even our leisure or time off becomes for the sake of work. I think a bioenergetic life will lend itself to proper leisure and vice versa. Stressful total work of today creates a cycle in which we are too exhausted to engage in meaningful leisure so we instead engage in mindless entertainment to attempt to recover so we can continue to engage in work.

Sorry for the disjointed response. I’ve been working this out in my head for days. Once I get it more sorted I might write a thread about it

@yerrag So what is the best way to go about weight loss in a pro metabolic way? Continue to eat high carbs, low fat, medium protein while keeping everything below maintenance calories?

My wife is attempting to lose weight she gained from pregnancy and I’m attempting to help her to it in the healthiest way possible. But one thing I don’t fully understand. To lose weight, even if you are working towards a pro metabolic lifestyle you are going to have to go through some lipolysis, right? For fat to be burned off it has to be used so in a way it’s unavoidable right? Or am I missing something.

Following out of interest. Log your results

@yerrag so the mainstreaming saying that it increases it is just an outright lie? Typical

@Lothric I have a hard time believing that nature is good for you because of serotonin.

If you do a search on google of Negative Ions the mainstream consensus is that they are beneficial to the human person because once they enter into the bloodstream they raise Serotonin which by there theory is the happy hormone. Places were negative ions are present are in places like waterfalls, beaches or even your shower.

Anyone have an explanation for this from a Peat perspective?

@Lothric yes I agree and I’ve utilized it. What I’m asking is more foundational. Basics of biochemistry, biology and the such. I don’t come from a scientific background. I come from a liberal arts background so what I need is a good primer.
