Hi guys, hope you're all well
So I've been Peating for a year and a bit now, and I've come so far, but in recent times I feel as though I'm slipping backwards.
Basically, my main focus is on improving my lacklustre libido and increasing motivation. I have tried most of the recommendations on this site/Peat's recommendations, except supplementing with hormones or anti-serotonin drugs.
- The carrot salad backed me up and it took a week off of it to start bathrooming normally again.
- Aspirin steadily INCREASED estrogen/serotonin symptoms in a dose-dependent manner. Very confused about this.
- I tried vitamin E but I don't think it was good quality as it had no effect...
- BCAA's didn't work but I was not using them with tyrosine as suggested.
- Avoiding fats and/or adding coconut oil didn't help.
- Zinc supps/oysters didn't help.
- As far as I can remember, all the usual suspects have been employed.
- Oh, and taurine and B6 DO help somewhat.
There's probably a bunch of stuff I can't remember trying that I haven't listed. My diet is pretty normal (for a Peaty lol); low fat milk, coke, rice, juice, coffee, smaller amounts of eggs, cheese, oysters, some meat, grass-fed butter (can't deal with liver but take vitamin A). My diet sometimes has PUFA as I'm out and about and can't get decent food, but I don't think it would be enough to affect me.
Do you guys think I need to supplement thyroid, progesterone or pregnenolone?
Thank you!
