It’s one of the things in which people say they “work hard” or they study a lot but really don’t do much but waste time inefficiently. Just faffing about. Can’t figure out why they have mediocre grades or outcomes in general life. Most people don’t really do anything. When you tell these people what it really looks like to work on something relentlessly they start coping about health, balance, and other soft life flamboyant platitudes. Not even worth it.

I had a hypothyroid professor in university, and I'm working with her right now to get her hands on T3. She's been taking T4 for a long time, with no subjective improvement in her life. The doctors take her blood and decide that she's no longer hypothyroid anymore (and that the treatment is working), due to T4 and TSH. But her lived experience is anything but working.

Patients switched from levothyroxine to NDT reported massive improvements in quality of life and hypothyroid symptoms. They rated a number of factors on a scale before and after NDT. In each case, lower scores are better. >Quality of life impairment from 92% to 34% >Tiredness from 89% to 36% >Impaired daily life from 69% to 24% >Cognitive problems from 67% to 24% >Emotional Susceptibility from 62% to 22% >Depressivity from 61% to 22% >Hypothyroid symptoms from 61% to 26% >Impaired social life from 50% to 16% >Anxiety from 53% to 20% >Cosmetic complaints from 63% to 32% >Eye symptoms from 36% to 16% >Hyperthyroid symptoms from 31% to 13% >Goitre symptoms from 24% to 9% “All the individuals had taken levothyroxine for at least 12 months before the initiation of NDT.” “Significant symptomatic benefit and improvement in QOL was experienced by people with a history of levothyroxine unresponsive hypothyroidism treated with NDT, suggesting the need for further evaluation of NDT in this context.” The patients were selected for having a poor response to levothyroxine. Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT USP) is a prescription medication that contains both thyroid hormones T4 and (active) T3. Levothyroxine only has T4. T3 must be converted to T3 to have a beneficial effect, and most people don’t convert T4-only to T3 very well. This is generally not identified by basic blood tests. “Increased free T4 levels, as seen with levothyroxine therapy alone, appear to inhibit local deiodination (conversion of T4 to T3 outside the thyroid gland) except in the pituitary, so that levothyroxine monotherapy may result in TSH inhibition (which is set by the pituitary) while reducing active thyroid hormone bioavailability in other tissues (causing hypothyroid symptoms).” Although this research used NDT USP, it does not mean that synthetic thyroid hormones are a problem. The issue is with the absence of T3. Synthetic combinations of T4 and T3 can work just as well if they are dosed correctly. Over-the-counter thyroid products are not equivalent to NDT USP.

For instance, seeing a new four‑legged animal with fur and a tail might seem “cat‑like,” so you expect it to behave similarly, even if you’ve never encountered that specific animal before

This is an efficient way to reduce complexity and make predictions Once something is categorized, you can quickly apply what you already know about that group to new examples, which speeds up learning and decision‑making

It is human nature to generalize Our brain naturally groups things into categories based on shared characteristics Instead of treating every person or situation as entirely unique, the brain notices common features (shape, color, behavior, context) & clusters them into groups

Quitting zyn was one of the best immediate things I've done for my health. 0 benefits to using it, destroys your cardiovascular system and accelerates atherosclerosis. Noticed the difference within days

"Nicotine is very unlikely to help the cognitive function of someone who is functioning at their normal capacity." -Dr. Paul Newhouse, Vanderbilt scientist who has spent 30 years researching nicotine. (PMID: 22232050) You've been lied to about nicotine to get you addicted.

Caffeine is mainly metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP1A2 Smoking cigarettes causes the creation of this enzyme to increase dramatically, aka inducing it Since smoking induces CYP1A2, smokers break down caffeine faster and can drink more without feeling its effects as strongly
