Thanks, what does "stress hormone" specifically mean here? It doesn't sound related to the hormones that are usually called "stress hormones" like adrenalin or cortisol.

This is a topic that I always had trouble to understand because it seems thoroughly propagandized as a sex hormone and it is hard to find sources that do not make that base assumption.

• What is Estrogen on a fundamental level?
• If Estrogen is a toxin then why does the body produce it? Is it a just a byproduct/waste product or is it necessary for some processes?
• Is Estrogen significant for human dimorphism? Why does the female body produce so much more of it than men's body?
• What is the effect of too much estrogen?

I understand that the liver binds other substances to estrogen to get rid of it through the gut and that some bacteria in the gut reactivate the estrogens.

• Do all anti-estrogen substances work by eliminating these bacteria or are there other mechanisms to reduce estrogen?

@wtpyrucet The raw carrot salad is about the microbial cleansing only, you are not meant to derive nutrition from it. Spinach does not grow underground and thus also doesn't have any antifungal or antibacterial properties.

I don't think it's a fitness thing, just a steroid thing. Muscles built through steroid use have a certain very obvious unnatural look to them that does look like they are aged.

@Lovesickhs18 Honestly just throw the egg whites into the drain. Egg yolks are very tasty. Egg whites is what makes the eggs bland and tasteless. For protein drink milk instead.

@LucH I've known about the effects of Serotonin in regards to depression, but low executive function is different because it generally doesn't mean you are low energy, it just means that you allocate all that energy towards tasks that do not really help with your current situation. Do you think there is a connection? I've generally been fine in regards to energy since supplementing B vitamins, but the low executive function remains.

Hello again,

I would define executive function as this: The ability to work on a task that's not very interesting but still needs to be done.

Some people have higher executive function then and others have lower. The ADHD diagnosis then is not really about a real medical condition but more about controlling the access to amphetamines and other potentially abusable ADHD medication. ADHD diagnosis naturally increases as the need for high executive function within society also increases.

So what I am wondering now, is there an non-prescription alternative to medication? Has anybody tried increasing executive function through nutrition or supplementation? I thought if anybody has a clue about this it would be here.

Taking a Swanson Balance B-50 supplement, 1x every second day, +250mg Thiamin HCL:

300mg of Thiamin HCL
50mg of Riboflavin, Niacinamide, Pyridoxine HCl, Cholin, Inositol and PABA.
50mcg of Cyanocobalamin and Biotin.
400mcg folic acid.

Is there anything I should add? I heard supplementing Thiamin causes Magnesium depletion, is there any other cofactors I should be aware of?

Diet is Oranges, Potatoes, Pasta, Pastries, Milk and Coffee.

@hypercashoidism
low fat, high carb (preferably from sugars, not starches) = high metabolism = weight loss

I think it is a bit contextual, if you are already overweight then you absolutely need a high carb diet to offset the large amounts of free fatty acids in your blood. If you are already lean then moderate fat might be beneficial.

If you are fat you probably think that there is no point in grooming yourself because you are going to be unattractive either way.

not really, hair is just genetic, you should simply find a straight hairstyle that fits you well

Salmon and Pork seem to be the only really mainstream foods that contain enough Vitamin B1 to really fulfill the daily recommended amount. But most people don't eat 200g of pork chops every day. How come they don't all end up deficient? Are there other major sources I am missing? This puzzles me.

@beastliboi Fasting extends life by not being alive.

If you don't use your body, sure it is going to deteriorate more slowly but you don't really do more living.

@basebolt Have you tried high dose B vitamins in combination with sugary foods? If all that stuff doesn't work it is most definitely not the thyroid.

Stay in the country where you want to learn the language of for 6 months. Language learning is entirely about learning the patterns of communication. You can't learn those if you aren't communicated with.

Richness is living in a plentiful environment. Plentiful in energy, plentiful in allies, plentiful in opportunities. This allows organisms to risk more and to live leisurely because even if they fail their environment will save them. They can exert much more energy without risk of death.

A poor environment means always having to overreact to threats because every threat can kills, being unable to build up reserves.

Competing for rich environments is the most foundational instinct of any biological being, always affecting every single cell in your body. Shrimps do it. Lizards do it. Birds do it. Humans do it.

Money itself is not part of being rich, but having money allows one to access such environments so it is sometimes a good proxy. (If you are brave enough to leave behind the hostile environment in which you earned it, which most wage-slaves aren't.)

@Norwegian-Mugabe Women aren't doing this because they enjoy it. Women are stressed because they can't be free, they can't be themselves. Muscles, reflexes, intelligence all things that allow men to be free regardless of how fucked up their environment is. Women don't have these properties usually so they can't be free, can't be themselves in a broken society. They become what they need to become to survive. Which, currently, is either a miserable wage slave or miserable whore. Neither of these options are good.

The main thing that progressives did was stripping away the protections society was extending to women. Tearing apart the family union that protected women from having to leech off of random suitors or corporations.

Only if we succeed at rebuilding that protection for women are we able to see their true selves.

@BioEclectic I basically say butter, beef tallow and coconut oil are the healthiest fats but Olive oil is fine too. All other oils are very unhealthy. Don't need to talk about why Olive Oil is "fine" unless they are really interested in the deets.

@questforhealth I think the high concentration of B vitamins and magnesium far outweighs the cost of the high MUFA ratio, especially if you eat lean cuts.

I just ate a single pork chop and I already feel so much better, it's a life saver right now.

@Norwegian-Mugabe Millenials, 500k. What the actual fuck.
