Missed this one. Excellent post!kiran said:Combie said:Just to add to that. Since religiously taking pregnenolone and thyroid, my desire to smoke has evaporated. Even to the point of turning a joint down when offered. Thats amazing to me, because unless i was in a period of enforced abstinence, when i refused through gritted teeth, i have never ever turned a smoke down. I wrote that post 5 weeks ago and it seems like a different person wrote it.
I would dearly love to understand the mechanism behind this.
Cigarettes stimulate the thyroid, if you have "sub-clinical hypothyroidism", nicotine is also a stimulant. You were probably self-medicating with cigarettes, and no longer feel the need for it.
"Among patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, those who smoke have higher serum thyrotropin concentrations, a higher serum ratio of tri-iodothyronine to free thyroxine..."

"...my desire to smoke has evaporated."
Combie: are you talking cigarettes or pot?
Was taking both, now neither.
Ray-Z that's awesome!! Alcohol is by far the worst addiction in terms of damage to your body. No doubts about that.Ray-Z said:Combie said:narouz said:Combie said:Just to add to that.

First off, congratulations, Combie!
Your observations about losing interest in pot & tobacco while Peating parallel mine about alcohol. I never felt addicted, but drank very heavily while on low-carb and low-carb paleo diets. Perhaps I was subconsciously trying to relieve some of the effects of all those stress hormones. Unfortunately, I quickly developed a big tolerance for alcohol, and rarely got very drunk, so I was just drinking a lot to little effect (besides liver damage).
Now, I still have bottles of booze all around me, and have barely touched the stuff in months.
Thank you, Ray Peat!

I think that loss of desire for booze is fairly easily explained when u consider that alcohol is essentially sugar. So replace that with real sugar and your desire for it should diminish.
Combie said:Nicotine hits the dopamine reward system, which is not specific to nicotine, which I believe is why the addiction came back.
How pregnenolone has affected my endocannabinoid system is a mystery to me. But the effect was really noticeable as I literally went from smoking about 2-3g a day dependent on availability to just not being bothered almost overnight. That's power! And I've really not been bothered about it since, even during the few day I had no pregnenolone.
Take ALL the credit Ray. You made the changes, and you reap the benefits.Ray-Z said:Thanks, man. It's funny...I'd like to take some credit for the change, but it was truly effortless.
