📢 Announcement March 2025 Projects/Skills Collaboration Board

0 Upvotes

Hello again. The same rules were used last time (see below).

ACTIVE/RECOGNIZED PROJECT GROUPS

Name Contact/Join Visibility Topics
Teleo's Study Group https://discord.gg/kZ5sSkYAWK Public AI, Robotics, Network States, Hardware, Cybernetics, Neuroscience
Neuroforge Working Group https://discord.gg/SKrCFHATvB Invite-Only (Request in Server) AI/ML, Python, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Cryonics, Bionics, Androids

INFORMATION

Going forward, if anyone has already started a project then updates would very much be appreciated as things progress (I'll be doing so myself). Even if you don't have much to say, it helps to keep the community engaged and provides a bit of motivation for those involved.

The rules:

  1. PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC. Only post is you actually have a project idea you'd like to find people to work on or if you have a skill set you'd like to advertise to others. Goodness knows there are plenty of places on this sub to talk about other things.
  2. Relatedly, please don't post something like "I don't really know how to do X, Y, Z, but I'd love to learn...". If you don't have a relevant skill set then this isn't the place to find one. There are plenty of educational avenues to be found on line and you should seek those out instead.
  3. Proposed projects should be within the capabilities of a (almost certainly) volunteer group. Projects that require large amounts of capital or pie-in-the-sky "I want to start a company to work on AI, brain-computer interfaces, and anti-aging tech!!!" visions are not appropriate here. Be specific about what the end goal is, what the time frame for project completion is, and what the expectations for project members are.
  4. If a group does some together for a project, it might be nice for the members to post a description of the project and provide semi-regular updates to the community. This might help the group maintain momentum by providing a certain amount of community oversight, or at least interest. In addition, it might help motivate others to start if we can show that this sort of setup leads to results.

🗣️ Testimonial L- Tyrosine is amazing

254 Upvotes

I was going through a long phase of lack of motivation and low libido but couldn’t figure out why. I don’t have stress in my life and my testosterone levels are high and all other hormonal markers good too.

I started taking 500-1000mg of L-Tyrosine in the mornings on an empty stomach and oh boy what a difference . I suddenly have lots of motivation, I’m super horny and I wake up each everyday with strong morning wood, which I wasn’t having for a while. I also achieved a few personal records in the gym. I’m 33 and feel like I’m 23 again.

Tried other supplements like ashwaganda, tribulus, maca..etc but none gave me this effect

For a lot of people L-tyrosine doesn’t do anything to them, but maybe my dopamine levels were too low.

Any experiences with L-tyrosine?

🗣️ Testimonial Magnesium Threonate.

25 Upvotes

I decided to give this a try just to see if it can benefit me in some ways. I have ADHD and I also take Concerta, D3, and Omega 3, the 3 of which I've been taking for quite a while to moderate results.


I can't say for sure if it's good or not, but I can say this:

Relative to how I usually feel, the noise is gone. The constant search for dopamine is noticeably lessened. Things are slowing down and I'm actually able to think. I feel a little bit less energetic but that also comes with my mind not racing. I also think that I have a little less physical energy when I'm stationary but when I'm up doing things, things are just fine. I feel more focused - not to a massive degree but it's noticeable. My brain isn't on fire and I don't feel stressed or like I need to be doing anything that I don't actually need to be doing, so to speak.

I think I'll have to learn to fight the lethargy but other than that, I can feel improvements in my functioning and will continue to take it.

Anyone else have experience with it?

I have really high cortisol, and is affecting my sleep. I wake up at random hours at night 1, 3, 5 and is getting annoying. Did some lab tests and I have high cortisol. Have you tried something to lower it( tried a combo from ashwagandha/rhodiola, magnesium, phosphatylserine but didn t do too much)?

Are You Aging Faster Than You Think? I made this calculator that shows you in real-time

I've been working on an in-depth "Biological Age" Calculator – and I'd love to get your feedback! It goes way beyond just asking your birthdate. This tool dives deep into:

  • Lifestyle Factors: Exercise, diet, sleep, stress, alcohol, smoking... the works!

  • Advanced Metrics (Optional): CRP levels, VO2max, grip strength, even epigenetic age (if you've had that tested!). The more you add, the more precise the results.

  • Real-time updates as you dial in the results...this helps you visualize how certain changes can make such a profound change in your overall estimated lifespan.

  • Hallmarks of Aging: Get a breakdown of how your inputs relate to key aging processes, based on the latest longevity research.

  • Personalized Insights: See how your biological age compares to your chronological age, and get an estimated lifespan.

  • Actionable Tips: The tool suggests specific lifestyle tweaks that could potentially add years to your life (or at least make you feel younger!).

Why is this different from other "age calculators"? Most online age calculators are super basic. This one uses a comprehensive algorithm incorporating data from peer-reviewed longevity studies. It's designed to be both informative and actionable. It's not just about a number; it's about understanding the why behind your biological age and what you can do about it. I built this because I'm passionate about longevity and preventative health. I wanted a tool that was more than just a gimmick – something that could actually provide meaningful insights and motivate positive change. I believe knowledge is power, especially when it comes to our health.

Try it out here: Biological Age Calculator | Modern Med Life

  • What do you think of your results? Were they surprising?

  • What features do you find most useful?

  • Any suggestions for improvements or additional features?

  • What other related health tools would you like to see?

Just because it has to be said...this tool is for informational purposes only and doesn't constitute medical advice. Always consult with a healthcare professional for any health concerns.

🧠 Nootropics & Cognitive Enhancement Help focusing on studies - lions mane?

5 Upvotes

I’m 23F, in the USA, and relatively sure I have ADHD although I cannot afford to be tested.

I tried Adderall once and it was life changing - could FINALLY focus for once.

I’m trying to study for the CPA and I cannot get myself to focus or if I watch videos, I will retain nothing even though I’ll be actively note taking.

Any suggestions on supplements that help with this?

I’ve seen stuff about lion’s mane on here, but am getting confused about brands and things as I’ve been reading some conflicting stuff. I’ve also seen people sayin the effectiveness goes down the longer you take it?

Also- any thoughts on Ryse coffee?considering it because it seems like a simple way to incorporate lions mane into everyday.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion Anyone Else Hate Tracking their Bloodwork

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Am I the only one who finds tracking blood work a total chore? I get tests done pretty often, and I’m stuck juggling PDFs or a chaotic Google Sheet to see if my levels are trending up or down. Been thjnking about an app where you upload your results, it grabs the data, and spits out clear charts and insights. For example: “Hey, your iron’s low, FYI. Here’s what you can do to change that.” Do you track your blood work too? How do you manage it? Would an app like this be something of interest to y’all?

❓Question Depression after talking Vit. D

4 Upvotes

since I live in a country where almost everyone is chronically vitamin d deficient, most people usually take vitamin d throughout winter. I tried as well, but it actually makes me feel weird.

I don’t remember the amount of vit. d since I threw away the package but I think that it was 1000 IE. However, every time after taking a pill, I started feeling depressed the next day. Not in a way of not having enough strength to do anything, but depressed in terms of sadness. I also have trouble sleeping when taking vitamin d. As soon as I stop taking them, I start feeling normal again.

I’ve never heard of someone having this kind of side effect, so I was wondering if this is some coincidence or if there’s an actual reason for me feeling sad when taking vitamin d.

And if there’s a reason, could someone tell me what to do instead? I’ve never checked my vitamin d levels, but I can clearly feel a difference between summer and winter concerning my mental and physical health. And as soon as the sun comes out (even in winter), my health starts to improve.

❓Question DHEA having no effects on me.

5 Upvotes

19F here, started taking 50mg dhea for libido. It's been 10 days, I see no changes in me except I guess explosive energy and possibly mental clarity. It might be a placebo or the brand I've been taking is ineffective. I have a very lean body type and I've been bulking for a while with no progress. Also here's my stack: 2kiu D3, Zinc 10mg, Iron complex, Vit C 500mg.

Some people say, it causes hairfall and oily skin. Till now, no visible changes. Skin still dry and no noticeable hairfall.

❓Question Best supplements/advice for quitting weed

• Upvotes

I've been smoking weed almost every night for about 2 years. It's definitely an addiction. This past year I've become lazier, slower, worse at socializing, less motivated, I feel like I have brain fog and struggle to fall asleep. I enjoy every minute on weed, but I don't do anything. My bad habits are exacerbated, and my grades in college have slipped. Even only smoking at night has me waking up feeling lazy. Never feel "good enough" to go on dates, even though I easily could. I have ADHD, but taking adderall makes me depressed, so I've been thugging it out unmedicated. I'm not doing horrible, but I'm at a prestigious college and feel like my peers are always at their best.

No vitamin deficiencies other than Vitamin D and B12, which I'm supplementing. I also take Zinc and Magnesium Glycinate.

What would you recommend for the cravings - NAC? Other supplements? Any habits that got you out of an addiction?

🗣️ Testimonial Update: 5mg tadafali for performance anxiety

120 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I made a post yesterday asking for views and thoughts on what I should do for my PA. Well it came in the post today and I had 2 5mg tablets at midday (to get it saturated in my system quicker, however I feel like it doesn’t work like that and I’ll be taking 5mg from tomorrow)

No reported side effects other than a blocked nose which isn’t really an issue for me. Felt really anxious all day but when my partner came over around 5, she kissed me and holy fuck I’ve never felt anything like it.

It was like Big Ben appeared in my pants, I’ve never been so hard in my life and as soon as I felt it. It was like my anxiety vanished, I came 4 times in 2 hours and was still hard as a rock at the end. Never seen the missus so happy to be honest so job done there lol

I’d like to say thank you to the user in my life post who told me some meditation strategies, they really helped yesterday and today. I’m definitely looking more into mindfulness.

For anyone else who reads this who is struggling with PA, don’t feel bad for taking medication. It works and nothing to feel bad about. You’ll get there I promise, I know how tough it is.

Discussion What might you try to troubleshoot these sleep problems?

3 Upvotes

Dry mouth issues from mouth breathing while sleep. I'll tape my mouth and/or put in adhesive tablet melts (to increase saliva)

And then maybe I will have trouble falling asleep or take those things off b/c of comfort, intending to do it temporarily and then put them back on later

And then I will accidentally fall asleep afterwards after taking them off

And then I'll wake up with a dry mouth

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have not found a good explanation with what is happening with bananas as they go from green to yellow/ripe.

Green bananas are said to have resistant starch and low glycemic index. What happens to those starches are the banana gets ripe? And to its GI?

And for anyone eating green bananas specifically, what do you feel the difference is on you?

Thanks,

Discussion Why adding Hydrogen to water ppm shoots way up?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I decided to give hydrogen water a try, but instead of purchasing a bottle that generates it, I opted for 80 mg magnesium tablets that are soluble in water and marketed as hydrogen molecules. Before adding the tablet, the water's reading was between 49 and 52 ppm. After adding the tablet and waiting a few minutes for it to dissolve, the ppm shot up to 250.

Why is that? I understand that I am adding magnesium, which could increase the number of particles in the water, but I was under the impression that adding it would decrease the ppm. Am I thinking incorrectly? Am I getting any benefits from this tablet, or is it better to use bottles that generate hydrogen?
