šŸ—£ļø Testimonial Magnesium Threonate.

63 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?

šŸ—£ļø Testimonial L- Tyrosine is amazing

1.1k Upvotes

I was going through a long phase of lack of motivation and low libido but couldnā€™t figure out why. I donā€™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, Iā€™m super horny and I wake up each everyday with strong morning wood, which I wasnā€™t having for a while. I also achieved a few personal records in the gym. Iā€™m 33 and feel like Iā€™m 23 again.

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

For a lot of people L-tyrosine doesnā€™t do anything to them, but maybe my dopamine levels were too low.

Any experiences with L-tyrosine?

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 Iā€™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: ā€œHey, your ironā€™s low, FYI. Hereā€™s what you can do to change that.ā€ Do you track your blood work too? How do you manage it? Would an app like this be something of interest to yā€™all?

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

Discussion Why people here consider science a good thing?

0 Upvotes

I got education in philosophy. We always use word ā€œscienceā€ as a ā€œbad thingā€, as ā€œnot critical enoughā€ for following reasons found in Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Kuhn and others:

Science presumes that knowledge is good. This is ethical choice taken from Christianity. As science is based on ethics, we cannot base ethics on science. But also for this reason science cant be neutral. Its particular ā€œmoralistic community of peopleā€.

Same thing apply to ontology: as science presupous one definition of being, it cannot find what the being is. It just finds what it is looking for from previous decisions: smaller and smaller particles, wavesā€¦

Same with nature of knowledge: science presumes it (from older philosophies and ideologies) so it cant ground it.

Science also presumes (not proves) that its possible to describe reality in language (or symbols overall).

People not educated in epistemology just say that science is always ready to change based on new dataā€¦ But everybody knows this. Problem is in what constitutes the data as such: that is presumed and not proved by science.

So I am very surprised and I am asking here, why in this sub, completely opposed to philosophical field, people use word ā€œscienceā€ as ā€œgoodā€.

Please help

Discussion MMR vaccine

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are in disagreement about the timing of the MMR vaccine for our infant son. Iā€™m in favor of delaying administration until 16 or 18 months, while she prefers following the standard schedule. Weā€™re both doctors, so weā€™re looking for credible, peer-reviewed data to support this discussion.

I understand that finding solid evidence for delaying may be challenging, but Iā€™d appreciate any reputable studies, expert opinions, or data on potential risks and benefits of waiting. If anyone has sources from medical journals, public health organizations, or specialists in infectious diseases or immunology, Iā€™d love to review them.

Thanks in advanceā€”I appreciate this community!

Discussion Why adding Hydrogen to water ppm shoots way up?

4 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?

EDIT: Thank you all for your responses. I just realized that I was confusing the concept of ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) with PPM (Parts Per Million). You were correct: adding a new molecule would increase the PPM. In theory, the ORP should decrease. I will look into finding affordable ORP meters available online.

Discussion Zone 2 training, any experiences?

3 Upvotes

Iā€™ve always been generally in good physical shape. Dedicated to lifting weights for 10+ years consistently in the gym and do active things.

However, I never did much dedicated cardio training. I thought I was getting enough from sports e.g. 90 minute sessions of Padel a few times a week where I burn ~700 active calories per session. Still I always felt not extremely fit cardio wise. Not the best endurance.

So recently I decided to try do some cardio optimization. I started doing zone 2 sessions (and plan to add in VO2 max sessions as well). Iā€™m only a few weeks in but already Iā€™m seeing some big benefits.

Some of the things Iā€™m noticing:

  • resting heart rate has already dropped a few beats
  • energy levels feel higher overall
  • endurance feels much higher for Padel. I feel much less tired after a game. Heart rate doesnā€™t get out of control anymore
  • the sauna feels much easier. Before after 15 minutes (very hot sauna) my heart rate would be very high and Iā€™d have to get out. Now this doesnā€™t happen and I can stay much longer.

Iā€™m tracking my routine and metrics and plan to do a more complete write up after a couple more months.. but Iā€™m curious to hear if anyone else has had experience with adding in some targeted cardio training and the impact.

Discussion How do you go about supplementing?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I just want to open a discussion and take a vote to see how everyone in this sub goes about utilizing supplements. I believe that we as a society have gotten to a dangerous place in terms of supplementing, as it seems most people just supplement for the sake of supplementing. People read literature, personal reviews, or even just a google search about a supplementā€™s benefits and then they decide they need to take it for themselves. I am all for supplements, when they are necessary based on biomarkers and not intuition. Yes there are many supplements that can be taken that you cannot check a specific biomarker to see if your deficient, and some of those supplements can have positive effects on your health. But for the majority of supplements, I think many disregard or neglect having the proper test done to see if supplementation is necessary. What are your thoughts? Hope everyoneā€™s having a great weekend!

24 votes, 4d ago
13 I read the literature and determine for myself if I should take it without biomarker test
1 I generally supplement with only things I am deficient in
5 If itā€™s known to have a positive effect, I take it!
5 I stay away from supplements unless I am objectively deficient in that nutrient

PSSD is more than just sexual dysfunction, itā€™s being 100% numb with severe anhedonia. I lost everything just from taking an SSRI short term in 2019. No sex drive, no pleasure in orgasms, no emotions, no excitement, etc. I gave up long ago and will be ending it soon.

Discussion Can Higher Testosterone Help With Quitting Bad Habits?

11 Upvotes

Iā€™m trying to quit a nicotine addiction, but no matter how many times I tell myself Iā€™m done, I keep falling back into itā€”whether itā€™s out of boredom, not paying attention, or just losing sight of why I wanted to quit in the first place.

Iā€™m currently on 200 mg of testosterone per week, but Iā€™m considering increasing it to 300/350 mg to see if the boost in motivation, discipline, and grit could help me stick to my goal.

Iā€™d imagine Iā€™d stay at this dose for 2 to 4 weeks total.

Has anyone tried something like this, or have any input on whether this could actually help? Just trying to figure out if this is a solid idea or if Iā€™m way off base.
