Experimenting w/nutrition, supplements, and health protocols...

New article is up on Substack.

I spent the last couple of days putting together a fully sourced breakdown of my favorite biohacks:

1) 3g of Taurine Per Day
2) Bromantane / Tyrosine / Phenylalanine
3) Walking After Meals
4) Thiamine (TTFD) + Methylene Blue
5) Baking Soda “Milkshakes”
6) K2 and MgCl Scrotal Application
7) High-Dose Vitamin K2
8) Magnesium Sips Throughout Day
9) White Button Mushrooms + EVOO
10) Breakfast in the Sun
11) Low-Dose Minocycline
12) Nicotine Patches for Focus

I would greatly appreciate your support!

Higher DHT = higher social status

Administering DHT propionate to middle-ranking monkeys caused them to rise to the top of their social hierarchy in both males and females.

Interestingly, this shift in dominance lasted 6 weeks after the hormone therapy was stopped, even after the physical effects had worn off.

Caffeine alone worsens ADHD symptoms in children.

However, pairing caffeine (2.0 mg/kg) with l-theanine (2.5 mg/kg):

- Improves overall cognition
- Reduces mind-wandering
- Enhances sustained attention

With measurable effects 1 to 2 hours after a single dose.

Coconut oil pulling reduces oral bacteria just as effectively as fluoride mouthwash.

Each additional 1,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 is associated with a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms.

@MarshmalloRambo I keep on seeing this.

Does the gelatin actually make it taste better?

FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs with a laundry list of side effects and questionable efficacy raise the question of the very framework they claim to fix.

DHT causes hair loss and acne (finasteride, dutasteride) → sexual dysfunction, depression, persistent hormonal disruption

Serotonin deficiency drives depression (SSRIs) → anhedonia, emotional blunting, sexual dysfunction, withdrawal syndrome

High cholesterol causes cardiovascular disease (statins) → mitochondrial dysfunction, muscle pain, cognitive impairment

Each framework involves a one-directional approach that treats each problem as an independent event, unrelated to the health of the individual.

I've experienced this firsthand.

Supplementing with high-dose vitamin D3 (10,000 IU/day) without adequate vitamin A reliably causes me to break out.

Dropping to 5,000 IU/day and eating ~200 grams of liver per week resolves the issue entirely.

I'm also skeptical that DHT is a primary driver of acne.

I've applied DHT topically to my face without any breakouts. If anything, my skin was looking clearer during that period of time.

Furthermore, if vitamin A upregulates 5AR and increases DHT, and vitamin D3 potentially does the same, then the combination of both should worsen acne...

Which it doesn't.

a note to the girlies: vitamin d3 supplementation (~5,000–10,000 IU/day) can actually worsen acne by increasing DHT and oil production. sunlight is your best bet. yes it also raises DHT, but the anti-inflammatory peptides, nitric oxide and endorphins it triggers at the same time keep acne in check. don’t fear moderate amounts of UVB!

Patients with alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss, are four times more likely to be vitamin D deficient than healthy controls.

The ketogenic diet significantly reduces circulating levels of the 5α-reduced metabolites:

- Dihydroprogesterone
- Allopregnanolone
- Dihydrotestosterone
- 3α-androstanediol

Along with a modest reduction in circulating testosterone and progesterone.

Despite depression being commonly described as a "serotonin deficiency," research shows that serotonin plays a causative role in developing learned helplessness, a well-established behavioral model of depression.

My most controversial opinion is that life should be effortless. Humans should never feel anxious, bloated, tired or indecisive. Nothing in life should ever be consciously cultivated, it should come from overflowing energy and obsession. Learned helplessness is the only real problem. Metabolism is the only thing to optimize. Intuition is our connection to God.
