@bruschi11 eating some junk food is one thing. but taking all those exotic meds and stuff. I mean how can you possibly know in what direction you are pushing your chemistry. It can do one thing short term and do the exact opposite long term etc.. What Gbolduev said at one point makes a lot of sense to me. That you can't take any meds, hormones and stuff if you expect from your body to get balanced and you don't want to just mask/manage symptoms.. Having said that once you are I don't know 50-60 and your body was not able to balance itself even if you do everything right from evolutionary standpoint for years or decades. It probably makes sense to just start doing things that make you feel good short term. In the moment and don't give a shit what will happen down the road, because that road is short anyway.. It is basically Ray Peat approach. Eating and taking what feels good in the moment. Where you no longer do basically anything that is not so nice in the moment, but it is investment to the future like eating boring healthy diet, exercise etc.. Maybe we are at that stage already and we should tak whatever hormones and stuff feel good, smoke some joint, eat some junk, play video games and be somewhat good in the moment heh.. Basically cope maxing to think about our reality least as possible., What I was doing for a long time already. Thinking about it I did probably better, because I had less emotional stress LOL... Now I live in reality slapping me to face 24/7 and it is hard to handle..
You’re lost in this all. Stuck in Gbolds perfect world he thought he had set up. Well Gbold supposedly got sick again post pandemic and never recovered.
I’m not taking “exotic drugs.”
TRT is what it is. You keep the hormone stabilized at a certain number. So the hormone can be metabolized and used as it’s needed. Because IMO men, specifically anemic long term with low T, there’s not turning methylation on without it. If you do, you’re just gonna dump copper into your brain with no co2. Can’t use the copper.
Basically I’m saying mineral balancing with low T. Specifically more anemic longer term illness guys. Have ZERO chance, ultimately raising atp without co2 is what happens. And copper burns the brain. Iron dies more. Worse anemia ensues. Which happened to me .
Had I used iodine more back then maybe id have had a Chance. But I didn’t and it became emergency.
My approach is through
TRT b12s iodine biotin lithium zinc carnitine main pieces.
I gave Reta/ Elora one more shot. And it does show my heart improving for first time in 6 weeks but I think it’s time to put them away for good. If I want to lose weight this b12/ freddds type approach can do it.
I think what people like you @Yura don’t realize. You’re going to be sick the rest of your life because you never took action. That’s why. Not because you’re stuck like that. Because you failed yourself and never even tried.
A Metabolism has to happen. If metabolism stays down too long. That’s when things get impossible.
My metabolism stayed down between much of 2020-2025. I didn’t take action. I didn’t get on a plan that got thyroid working, atp made, copper / iron moving , co2 made. And I developed something sooo much worse than what I previously had.
