@supplementmaxer I didn’t know it was medically approved for that

@progestie the shits and giggles

Started taking LDN today, let’s see what happens will report back in a few days/weeks

@supplementmaxer They actually work by restricting renal excretion of minerals, allowing the body to retain and utilize them for neuronal signaling and cognitiven function.

i’m convinced any antidepressant action from a SSRI is from them causing the brain to upregulate neurosteroids as a defence measure

@mscarnivore Gorgeous

Please stop scrolling for a moment to admire this beautiful alpine cheese covered in flowers 🌺🌸💐🌷🪻

@celestialbe1ng Thiamine is sulfur containing. Large doses can make you smell like sulfur, especially if you have sulfur processing issues. This is why planting chives in the garden acts as a natural bug repellent.

Ok so apparently the theory is that excess thiamine alters skin odour through sweat, making you less attractive to insects. For topical use: Crushed thiamine tablets dissolved in water/alcohol Or commercial B1-containing sprays I am making a MOSQUITO REPELLENT THIAMINE SPRAY, will keep you posted

@perceptivie @BioavailableNd What exercises did you do specifically?

Insulin resistance never shows up alone, it usually comes with 3 clear hormonal fingerprints: - It increases aromatase, converting more androgens into estrogen. - It grows ovarian androgen signalling, often showing up like acne, stubborn fat, irregular menses, or PCOS symptoms. - It promotes fat storage, which then becomes an active estrogen factory. This is why insulin resistance is never just about blood sugar. It is often a fertility, metabolism, and estrogen story.

@Helios_Movement Oh! Thanks

@progestie It's in the sub.

Oregano oil and "fasting" for candida are soooooooooooo 2014. In 2026 bad bitches study tools such as: -Bacillus subtilis (HU58) -Saccharomyces boulardii (CNCM I-745) -Brevibacillus laterosporus -Dihydroberberine -Apolactoferrin -DHM -PGE2 inhibitors -Curcumin -Caprylic acid -L. reuteri DSM 17938, ATCC PTA 5289 -Molybdenum -KPV -CBD -Serrapeptase -Lithium orotate -Cypro -TA1 and pick the ones that are right ones for them. Jokes aside: A) That's how a lot of you holistic bros sound. B) About oregano oil, most people still have no clue that NAC enhances oregano oil’s efficacy by A LOT by overwhelming SOD1 when used together. Most people still don't know jack about candida in general. They will use LL-37 because they are "biohacking" before going into the sun (vitamin D upregulates LL-37 a lot).

@mscarnivore Amazing! My fascia is so tight I cant even get massages any more, my muscles just rebound even tighter than they were before the massage, I think I definitely need a release.

@progestie No idea about the name, she does it manually and just places her hands in different parts of the body for a few minutes each and you can feel the fascia move! Such a cool sensation.

I got myofascial release yesterday and I was warned I’d be very tired today and she was right 😩

@Zenfrog4 Magnesium alters circadian rhythm by pushing physiology toward the “daytime, awake” state. Those who already spend too much time in this state will find that magnesium in fact makes their sleep worse.

Believe it or not, applying magnesium chloride around my head before bed reliably ruins my sleep. I don’t know what it is, but it feels like it stops me from entering deep sleep and turns my brain into milk.

@BioavailableNd Andra, how to start with someone who breaks out in full body eczema with even the slightest lymphatic stimulation? Lymphatic cysts, atopic triad type.

An underrated reason people see rapid improvements in skin health with lymphatic drainage is restored absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamins A, D, and E are transported via the lymphatic system, and only then delivered into the bloodstream and tissues. When lymph flow is sluggish or congested, this transport pathway is impaired. The result: Dry skin, acne, keratosis pilaris, and a dull complexion often reflect impaired delivery of fat-soluble nutrients. Drain the lymph: sun, movement, sauna, vibration plate, rebounding, dancing, big 6, Eat Your Hydration. ™️

@BerbarianWizard LOL

someone just liked my tweet with this pfp.

@anabology @_palmerprescott That’s part of the beauty of it

@_palmerprescott How many drops are you taking? Makes me extremely sleepy

The most effective tool against doomscrolling that I know of

“Trump has an alcoholic’s personality” is a perceptive statement and not at all an insult. If you look at the phenotype that performs better than anyone else in extreme situations…hunters, warriors, fighter pilots, EMTs, etc…they have the variant of the COMT gene that drives rapid clearance of excess dopamine in the prefrontal cortex. These people perform better and are calmer under pressure. But because their brains are eating dopamine 4x faster than a normal person, they are prone to boredom when the pressure is off. In a classroom, a kid with this gene looks like they have an attention deficit because they are bored. In a crisis, they turn into a high performance machine. It’s why I’ve long argued that ADHD isn’t a disease or disorder, but an important personality type without which you can’t have a society. This gene is a root cause for a lot of alcoholics because alcohol consumption initially spikes dopamine, but because the dopamine is rapidly cleared they drink more and more to chase that feeling. You see how bored Trump gets in normal mundane situations, and how lively he becomes in high stakes situations — this is why his best media appearances are always with journalists who are out to get him, or why he jumped up after getting shot to pump his fist in the air. There is an incredible amount of alpha in being a teetotaler with the wiring of an alcoholic.

@brainenergy4me At least take DGL or marshmallow to protect the esophagus while you try and figure it out

I have had severe acid reflux as a result of my inability to burp, because the trapped air pressure in my stomach and esophagus pushes the lower esophogeal sphincter (LES) open and pushes stomach acid up my esophagus and into my mouth. This causes major dental issues and also makes my entire esophagus inflamed. I had an EGD, where the doctor put a camera down my esophagus to check out how it's looking. She found that my whole esophagus is inflamed, which is what you basically always see when someone has acid reflux. She wants me to go on PPIs to manage my reflux by reducing my stomach acid. I refuse to take to PPIs because 1) stomach acid is important and I don't want to lower mine, 2) PPIs are known to slow digestion (related to #1), and my digestion is too slow as is, 3) digestive problems, such as PPIs can cause, bring their own chronic health risks, which I have experienced bountifully, and 4) I am certain that when I am able to burp, my acid reflux will go away, so I'd like to avoid treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. When I explained this to her, she didn't deny my concerns. Instead, she said: "Well Tyler, your esophagus is inflamed. This will eventually lead to Barrett's esophagus and esophogeal cancer. So, if you had to pick between digestive problems and esophogeal cancer, what would you pick? She is right. But damn, what a shitty decision to have to make. There's no right answer, both answers are bad. So the real solution is to identify the root cause, which for me, is a problem with my cricopharyngeus muscle, which I working on solving. But this just shows the importance of addressing the root cause, and addressing it early, because health problems beget more health problems, and the decisions become bleaker the longer they progress.

@GutOptimized Any tips for increasing intracellular potassium? I’ve been getting many blood sugar headaches recently, and I suspect potassium has a role to play as back of the head and neck pain is much more exaggerated than it was a few years ago. Also potassium shows low in labs.

Sleep also allows for the restoration of extracellular potassium into cells to properly restore charge balance in neurons (more potassium in the neuron vs sodium out) This process allows for your nervous system to be reset and for your pain signals to turned down. This charge balance is disrupted in those with pain disorders. If you're using your phone before bed, you're not reaching deep sleep. If you're not reaching deep sleep, you're not resetting your nervous system. If you're not resetting your nervous system, you're a dumby. Get good sleep.
