Hi All,
The following quote really interests me, and believe this could be key to digestion difficulties and diverting the pregnenolone conversion towards androgenic steroid production opposed to the cortisol and stress hormone pathway.
"The Autonomic Nervous System
Enhancing performance is about balancing stress and recovery, both of which are controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS has two subsystems: the parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system.
The sympathetic division excites. It's known for preparing you for either "fight or flight." The parasympathetic division, by contrast, inhibits. It's known for allowing you to "rest and digest."
Questions:
1) How does Ray Peat view the system?
2) What are tips to relax the central nervous system and engage the parasympathetic division?
3) Where does coffee fit in; does caffeine excite the system and prevent this relaxation, should Dec-Caff be consumed if one is looking to move into a parasympathetic state?
