your bloodwork says "normal"
you still feel like shit

I fix metabolic dysfunction

Thyroid optimization | DM if serious

[nikodem @nikodem1227]

restarting this account because the algorithm buried me

but here's what hasn't changed:

your thyroid is probably fucked
your doctors are missing it and calling it “normal” or “within range”
and I'm still the guy who fixes it

tutto passa. let's fuckin build G’s 🤝

[nikodem @nikodem1227]

as a man if you do not put yourself in situations where you are uncertain of the outcomes then YOU WILL NOT.. experience true masculinity

why?

men are born to be uncertain and take risks

as a kid
you asked yourself
can i climb this tree
can i pull this girl
can i lift this weight

you were scared but you ended up doing it, whether you failed or succeeded YOU DID IT

and when you failed you did it again
because the body wants more uncertainty especially the male body, uncertainty creates risk

that is the beauty of such a dangerous thing
you live without knowing what that risk brings
it isn’t GUARANTEED

guarantee is what men find comfort in
society has an abundance of guarantee

and in society what is guaranteed?

jobs and paychecks.

humans DO NOT have the environment to physically require proper hormonal function anymore

simply because of SOCIETY

that’s why
androgynous women
feminine men
humans with no purpose
is so common in today’s world

if your life requires NOTHING from you
neither will your body.

TAKE THAT RISK
START THAT BUSINESS
JUST. FUCKING. DO IT.

@MRKOWALCZYK7 i was borderline developing gyno, i had more fat in my midsection, chest was not as full and shoulders weren’t as big, not a huge difference as it’s only 2 months but still a visible change that i even get asked about in person

[nikodem @nikodem1227]

before: 82kg on carnivore with milk as my only carb source , 200+ g of protein, 200g+ of fat per day

now: 85kg eating 300–400g carbs daily, 100-120g protein 60-80g fat ⚡️

bigger
leaner
more muscular
better recovery
better performance

humans became metabolically dysfunctional then started blaming the body’s preferred fuel source (glucose) like it’s the root cause of all problems 😂

[nikodem @nikodem1227]

long hair on men only became known as “feminine” because modern men became significantly underdeveloped and disconnected from their natural dimorphism

lion = dominant, striking mane
bison = dense, thick and luscious mane
stallion = long flowing hair
peacock = exaggerated vibrant feathers
stag = large antlers
gorilla = massive frame & crest

male traits in nature are usually bold, pronounced and intimidating

men = hair & beards

yet modern society suppresses the very traits linked to masculine development through chronic stress, hormonal imbalance, poor environments and psychological dysfunction

and then men wonder why every women acts surprised when they stop looking masculine

warm milk with sugar before bed single handedly is the best thing ever

[nikodem @nikodem1227]

without carbs, biology literally falls apart especially within modern society

look at keto bros/strict carnivores

sky high SHBG
low free test
elevated prolactin
elevated iron levels
high cortisol, living off of stress hormones
brain fog and libido problems after a while

don’t fall for the trap, keto IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.

carbs = life

[Rust @Rustkolnikoff]

FaceIQ, a fairly large account that promoted carnivorism as optimal human nutrition has uploaded a new video: fruit juices (very appealing, he says) to replenish liver glycogen in the morning, milk with honey, not eating too many eggs because of the PUFAs, cronic ketosis is bad, etc. Wow. I suppose that as he is young he has been able to be more open-minded than other keto/carnivore promoters as Berry, Kay, Bikman, etc.

'Orange juice is just sugar'.

Wrong.

It's:

• Liquid youth in a glass — better skin glow, collagen support and real anti-aging protection

• Glucose and fructose (natural sugars) essential brain fuel for effortless mental performance and clean, fast energy

• Thyroid supporter that turns sugar into energy instead of fat

• Cortisol killer and stress protector for daily resilience

• Keeps metabolism running high and recharges liver glycogen to protect you from low energy states and burnout

• Anti-estrogenic shield that reduces inflammation and stubborn fat storage

• Elite magnesium and potassium delivery for proper nerve function and better muscle relaxation

• Natural mood booster which provides steady energy that lowers cortisol to keep you optimistic without the crash

• Mitochondrial supporter that ramps up ATP production

• More efficient energy source that outperforms most starches

I add 10-15g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides to a 1L bottle of unpasturized orange juice every morning and sip on it throughout the day🍊🧡

@rawgoatcheese carnivore to make yourself infertile and metabolically inflexible

[nikodem @nikodem1227]

most people don't notice but the outer third of the eyebrows is one of the first places that changes when thyroid function tanks

this area is sensitive to T3 availability at the follicular level

⸻

the thyroid controls ATP production via mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation which determines:
- cellular turnover rate
- keratinocyte proliferation
- dermal papilla signaling
- anagen phase duration

⸻

when T3 drops the body enters metabolic conservation mode

it prioritizes vital organs and deprioritizes:
- peripheral hair growth
- skin regeneration
- reproductive capacity

⸻

hair follicles are insanely energy-dependent

the outer eyebrow follicles have higher sensitivity to T3 withdrawal and faster entry into telogen phase under metabolic stress

⸻

the mechanism:

low T3 → decreased Na+/K+ ATPase activity → reduced cellular energy → follicle stem cells enter quiescence → hair growth arrests

⸻

this is why bloodwork saying "normal TSH" means nothing

TSH doesn't tell you if T3 is reaching the follicle

⸻

ray peat used temperature and pulse as direct metabolic markers because they reflect actual T3 activity at tissue level

not what's floating in your blood

⸻

optimal markers:
- waking temp: 97.8-98.6°F
- resting pulse: 75-85 BPM
- temp RISES after meals
- warm hands/feet

⸻

when i fixed my thyroid:

body temp: 97.2°F → 98.4°F
pulse: 58 → 82 BPM
outer eyebrows filled back in over 4-6 months

⸻

through:
- strategic carbs (OJ, ripe fruit, honey for T4→T3 conversion)
- raw dairy (calcium, vitamins A/D/K2)
- oysters (zinc, copper, selenium)
- avoiding PUFAs (block T3 at tissue level)

⸻

eyebrow thinning isn't the problem

it's a signal

same with cold hands, hair loss, low libido, brain fog, constipation

all downstream of metabolic dysfunction

⸻

most people try to fix hair, skin, appearance directly

without asking why the body is withdrawing resources in the first place

⸻

the body adapts based on available energy

low thyroid = low energy = system-wide conservation

⸻

doctors see TSH at 2.5 ("normal range" 0.5-5.0) and dismiss you

meanwhile body temp is 97.0°F and pulse is 55 BPM

you're functionally hypothyroid regardless of labs

⸻

broda barnes diagnosed hypothyroidism based on:
- basal metabolic rate
- body temperature
- symptom resolution

not blood tests

because blood tests measure hormone in plasma not cellular activity

⸻

the enemy:

pharma making billions on statins (lower cholesterol = lower pregnenolone = lower thyroid)

TSH ranges set so broad 30-40% of population is subclinically hypothyroid

doctors who won't prescribe NDT or T3

⸻

your great-grandfather ate butter, whole milk, liver, oysters

body temp 98.6°F naturally
full head of hair into 60s
thick eyebrows
high energy

never tracked macros or took pills

⸻

his metabolism was intact from real food

not tanked by seed oils, fasting, low-fat propaganda, chronic stress

⸻

if your outer eyebrows are thinning:

track waking temp and pulse daily
eat strategic carbs with meals
increase cholesterol (raw eggs, butter, whole milk)
get zinc/copper/selenium (oysters)
avoid PUFAs completely

⸻

watch temp and pulse rise
watch eyebrows fill back in over 3-6 months

⸻

the body doesn't need to be forced

it just needs the right inputs

and it will restore what it shut down

obviously

⸻

tutto passa
but your eyebrows don't have to

[nikodem @nikodem1227]

your eyebrows thinning on the sides isn't aging

it's your thyroid shutting down non essential systems

and everyone's ignoring it
