Hi, I've been studying Ray Peat ideas for a bit now and taken a lot of them into active action.
My problem currently is constant coldness although my past blood test showed high levels of t3 and t4 (higher than the range) and I was not taking a thyroid supplement at the time. However, my hands and feet are always cold and sometimes I wake up cold as well. Currently I am wearing 1 shirt, a sweater, a jacket and two sweatpants. It is almost as if my body doesn't produce any heat.
What I currently do health wise is:
microdose 1p-lsd, sometimes take a macrodose
Take vitamin E, taurine, aspirin, caffeine all of these are usually daily
I also take b-6 and occasionally a multi b formula by jarrow
sometimes I take ashwgandha to boost t4 and lower cortisol
occasionally take pregnenolone at 10mg
I wonder if DHEA could help? I am 21, male. Maybe I need more pregnenolone or should I obtain some t4? I have niacinamide on the way, and am contemplating getting glycine and more l-theanine.
Eventually I want to obtain cyproheptadine, and deprenyl (perhaps, not sure on this one).
I generally almost always consume at least 600mg of caffeine and around 300mg, or more of aspirin. Vitamin E, I generally have around 400 IU although it is in a soybean oil base. I also try to consume taurine and pregnenolone at the same time. Most of these things should boost metabolism in some way, which would hopefully raise my body heat yet they seem not to be working.
My diet consists of a lot of milk (maybe 1/2 gallon a day) and coffee, along with whatever my family is having for dinner. I try to stay away from PUFA, and if I do eat any, I increase my vitamin E. It is worrisome my metabolism is so low; for example, for a while I was eating 1500 calories a day~ estimated, and wouldn't even lose weight. Conversely, people like RP who seem to have a good metabolism can eat 4000 calories.
