@OliverCloasov
Followed the SAD for most of my life which broke me. Then I started to do the mainstream despised "my own research" and took matters in my own hands. Now I'm healthier, more physically capable and mentally sharp than I was in my 20s
I am a proponent of being open minded and imaginative, but tempered by reason and the scientific method.
I've self-experimented with nutritional biochemistry, mitigation of bioeffective electromagnetic forces in the home, herbalism, and various 'esoteric' areas of knowledge.

RE: Posterior Pelvic Tilt and Bioenergetics
@yeehawyinzer I had anterior pevic tilt and fixing that had a host of benefits (which I can elaborate on if that's desired) including improving my digestive function and regularity (though I can't say it affected the gut biome one way or the other).
If I had to guess, the benefits to fixing posterior tilt would be a long these lines

RE: Sleep Issues - Please Help
I had this issue for an entire year, but it's (seemingly) resolved for the past 8mo or so.
What helped me:- no caffeine past 2pm, ever
- no cigarettes past 7pm (still working on quitting)
- blue light filter on computer (flux for windows) and phone, linked to sunrise/sunset
- going outside in bright sun several times a day, most importantly in the early morning
- 1 hour walk with ankle weights after dinner 5:30ish
- 300mg GABA + 1/4 tsp glycine + Mg once the sun has set. 1:2 OJ:seltzer afterwards, avoiding eating anything but a bit of fruit (if that)
- no video games, tv shows or otherwise stimulating activities within 2 hours before bed
- 10 min spurts of bodyweight exercise throughout the day
- no heavy proteins withing 4 hours of when I aim to go to bed (especially animal protein)
- turning off Wi-Fi in the house at night
- sleep area clear of E fields from appliances, tvs, etc
- phone airplane mode at night
- changed my house lights to warm white, avoiding daylight bulbs like the plague
- rgb room light at night so I can transition room lighting from golden yellow at sundown to red after sunset
- reading a book an hour before bed
- using blackout curtains or equivalent to prevent the light from the stupid blue LED Street lamps coming in
- ensuring there are no little lights from any devices, monitors, computers, etc glowing in my sleep room
There might be a few more things involved, but this is what I've come to realize made a difference in concert

RE: New "Mission" of RPF
@Insomniac I think I remember you from the good old days of RPF. If that's true, it's great to see you here
Yup, this new pseudo-RPF is a hostile place if you decide to think for yourself and/or ask questions that emotionally trigger some of the super-christians there. Perceive, think, act indeed -
RE: Help me with a pro-metabolic protein drink with lesser known ingredients
@wester130 I throw a 1/2 tsp of Cordyceps in mine for the pro-androgenic effect
along with 1g glycine, .5g taurine and otherwise more or less the same as the what @Mulloch94 is doing.
For the sugar part, I cycle using organic maple syrup, organic raw cane (the solid block not the processed granules) and raw honey. -
RE: New "Mission" of RPF
I've lurked on the RPF for years and it was a godsend in many ways. But I'm so dismayed about the cult it has become, which has as little to do with RP and objectivity as possible, and viciously attacks everyone who even slightly thinks differently.
I saw this post this morning about some dude's self-experimentation with penis enhancement, another dude asks what looks like a genuine question about it, then he gets slammed for being a demon and the discussion locked so he can't even defend himself and nobody else can talk about the topic.
This is wild shit calling a dude a demon for not being lock step with the values of their Christian sect and the "no vitamin A" stuff.
