@LucH, amazing stuff, my guy I'll try this and will probably recommend it to my mother as well. You've just brought my attention to something that might change her life. Short backstory: My mother had gluten sensitivity her entire life until we moved to Croatia. After moving, her gluten sensitivity disappeared, but she started experiencing severe stomach bloating, which has been a major source of stress for her. Now that you've highlighted that gluten sensitivity can also be a symptom of SIBO, I'll try helping her with the routine you suggested.

@risingfire It's not bad, DMSO tends to only causes irritation on dry skin, and testicles have no dry skin and are usually very sfot.

@William-Shat I'd say no need to take such high doses of iodine, especially if you don't see any benefit.

Ray Peat’s response to my question (https://www.bioenergetic.life/clips/16348?t=3962&c=74) may be helpful for anyone looking for an answer in the future. In summary, he said that yes, pregnenolone can be beneficial, but recommended keeping progesterone supplementation low because high or long-term doses can suppress testosterone.

This also suggests that one should keep pregnenolone doses relatively low and use it for a shorter period, since pregnenolone and progesterone levels tend to rise in tandem.

@alfredoolivas sounds good, thanks for the confirmation 👍

Same general area. Chest is probably more accurate.
The self consciousness will go away the more you practice. For example, have you noticed there are fewer shy old people than young ones? LoL.
And you don’t have to practice all the time, but when you are trying, think of any awkwardness as completely OK. Nothing like vulnerability to make a person more human and relatable. Nobody’s impressed with someone who’s always perfect.
And yes good point. Exactly. What starts as a conscious attempt, with a little time and practice, will eventually become second nature.

Nobody knows for sure. Maybe a handful of Russians do.

Anyone versed in using it will probably have read a thing or two on the downside and want to say it's muh indirect dopamine from GABAB and TAAR. I'd add that's concentration dependant.

But I think there's something more fundamental than that. Maybe it's that it alters vascular tone and cardiac output. Or tempers alteration from psychoemotional stimuli. So to render wit is to remain relaxed.

Beware of it though. There are no free lunches that don't exist in nature. It's potentially useful to learn things.
