Gonna try to keep this concise. Im turning 29 shortly and thanks to this forum I can finally say it feels like my health journey is busy taking an upswing.
All my health issues list:
Was a fat prepubesent
Lost baby weight but kept flabby stomach
Fibromyalgia at 18
Slumped out of university
Struggled with social anxiety all my life
I suspect ive been high estrogen my entire life
Started balding early 20s
Started greying late 20s
Hair has always been coarse
Started IF and weight started to fall off but also I looked scarely sick(but hey i thought it was great)
Keto and IF later I actually have to thank for pushing me in this direction cause it screwed me up so bad (but hey I could see my abs...)
Losts the little sex drive I thought I might of had
Started noticing ADHD like symptoms recently because im again without a job but atleast im finishing my studies through the post
Always thought I was doing the right thing by taking those damn fish oil pills(felt like they reduced inflammation)
Realized that soy in the foods that i so loved was ramping up my emotional state so atleast I stopped eating them
Fungal infections on feet, groin, tongue
When I was young the cold never bothered me, I always wore shorts in winter. Now If I go out to socialize at night I literally get so cold my teeth chatter
I suppose I could go on but these are just some of my health issues
What im doing post Ray Peat discovery incorporating some other things which you can give your opinions on:
Wake up and take 180mg Vitex extract (it noticeably makes me more motivated hence me writing this post)
Eat breakfast shortly after waking(eventhough I have lost my abbility to feel hunger years ago with all the fasting)
Breakfast is raw 6eggs, 500ml low fat milk and a cup of precooked sorghum(opinions please)(sorghum increases dht and I figured id rather have my T turn into DHT than into E)
Been avoiding fruit for years. Not anymore!
I also eat my raw carrot or 2 everyday
Supplementing zinc picolate, B6, Biotin, Kelp, Selenium, Ginseng, Liqourice, B5, chromium, B1, Magnesium chloride, cypro
Using body temp to gauge my progress and food intake
Drinking coffee with sugar in! Funny how ive been punishing myself so long by drinking coffee without sugar.
Using Holosync meditative tracks before sleeping at night and no blue light before sleep.
Exercise has been walking everyday on the farm(its a long shot away from the weight lifting OCD keto IF life I was living for so long)
This is just my 2cents. Thanks for reading and opinions are very welcome as are any questions.
