I'm in a very strange place right now exercise wise. I largely only do resistance training, but it is almost as if my bar for healthy training is really low. For instance, yesterday I began the morning with a rather intense weightlifting session. I could feel a cortisol type spike with a bit...

TEI says I'm a fast 4. I think I may stick to their dietary recs, as this certainly didn't make me feel very good. The high cholesterol thing is concerning to me though, as its relatively new, and I don't understand what brought it on.

What diets or approaches have you guys taken to combat weight gain while dealing with PFS? I seem to continue to struggle with liver / pancreas issues (given digestive issues and yellow stools), as well as spiked cholesterol levels, and a sense that I have thick blood. I have been doing a keto...

Prior to discovering this forum and a lot of the other interesting schools of thought (or approaches), I had spent a good chunk of time focusing on allo, and I think there is still something to it. My experience was and is very much like yours. I had a very stressful year or two, that brought on...

I had almost no feeling when I came off of fin. Within a week of coming off, I could feel tingling in the scrotum, and a very nerve type sensation, as if it was improving. Another path I had gone done in understanding PFS was the importance of allopregnanolone in myelination. I'm not sure if I...

No particular reason, though I thought it may be good to let the impact of the last three months of dosing take hold before testing again.

Interestingly for me, I have only felt better since beginning TEI, no negative side effects of note. Sexual activity is higher, and stomach irritation seems better too. I guess this means even better things for when I am finished the first three month dosage. I am planning to do another test a...

The bad stools began before using TEI (and really were quite connected to the h plori). The stools aren't normal yet currently, but seem to have improved a bit over prior to beginning.

Fast.

As an update, I'm nearing the end of month two of TEI treament, and have seen some improvement in my sexual situation. Significant in fact. I continue to have digestive problems, with yellow stools, and lately some heartburn type feelings, which has me worried about a recurrence of h pylori.

Yes, yellowy for sure. Has gotten better since starting TEI, but still not normal, and hasn't been for a long time. I can try timing closer to meals, as I've typically done it first thing in the morning or before bed. I feel like it is helping my energy levels regardless, and have been doing it...

I have been using my infrared light now for a week or so. It's very relaxing, but hasn't changed my stool situation much. How exactly do you use yours?

I took it for 7 years, all but the final year were without issue. However symptoms came on fast, and began long before I stopped taking it.

Wondering if anyone else has any takes on he DUTCH test in particular. Really hoping TEI sorts that out as well.

Yeah, I had been using Selsun Blue. Does this mean that I want to focus on chelating copper?

I am a fast oxidizer type 4 according to TEI, suffering with bad digestion / yellow stools. Does infra red lighting still make sense for me? Despite being slow oxidizer, Na/K is at 7.0 *edited, should have said fast oxidizer, not slow

Indicated as FAST METABOLIZER, TYPE #4. Would love to hear opinions on how the hair test jives with the DUTCH test.

Now featuring hair test. Fast metabolizer indeed.

I still sit halfway between Ray Peat and my new reality. Feeding my gut bacteria still makes me nervous. Though I am certainly in the worst digestive health of my life currently. My last breath test was clear on h pylori, so it may be time to start HCl. It is clear that my fat digestion is...
