We’re all asymmetrical, and have a strong side (total Chad) and weak side (total Chud).

Symmetry does not equal beauty, and definitely not something to strive for.

"Just exercise if you are depressed".
Not that simple but it's great advice for many reasons.

Here's an underdiscussed one.

Quinolinic acid is a neurotoxic metabolite produced in the kynurenine pathway and it's strongly implicated in inflammation-driven depression and excitotoxicity.

Guess what helps shift the pathway away from QUIN toward neuroprotective metabolites?

Exercise.

@SSavson WILL be trying this out

[BowTiedMeatHead 🥩💪 @bowtiedmeathead]

A lot of guys on TRT think 125 mg of testosterone per week is a low dose.

Put that into perspective…

The average healthy male naturally produces around 6–7 mg of testosterone per day. That’s roughly 42–49 mg per week.

125 mg of test cyp delivers approximately 87 mg of actual testosterone once you account for the ester weight.

That’s nearly TWICE what the average healthy male naturally produces.

Now consider injection frequency…

Splitting that 125 mg into smaller, more frequent injections can help maintain more stable blood testosterone concentrations, reduce the peaks and valleys and potentially limit estradiol spikes in some men.

Depending on how your body responds, even 125 mg per week can put your testosterone levels above the physiological range.

This is why I never understood guys comparing their TRT doses like it’s some kind of competition…

125 mg might be more than enough for one guy while another needs 175 mg to achieve similar blood levels.

Your dose means very little without understanding your bloodwork, injection frequency and when those labs were drawn.

@SSavson I'll turn that setting on. No I don't supplement biotin or eat eggs daily

Your ADHD gathering habit is highly destructive in the long run.

More facts do not equal more results.

The urge to constantly save "potentially useful" stuff nonstop is not normal.

Wanting to collect "the perfect resources" and never using them is not normal.

Having a deep internal fear of: "if I don’t save this right now, I will forget it exists forever" is not normal.

Operating from an "out of sight, out of mind" is a classic symptom of profound ADHD(*).

(*)People with ADHD often struggle with working memory/holding temporary information in mind.

When faced with a sea of digital information, the ADHD brain experiences executive fatigue.

Deciding whether a piece of information is useful right now, where it belongs, or if it can be discarded triggers intense indecision and task avoidance.

Saving it for later is a coping mechanism to delay that exhausting decision-making process.

Bookmarking things provides an instant, effortless micro-dose of dopamine.

It satisfies the immediate impulse of the curiosity drive without requiring the heavy cognitive energy needed to actually read and process the information.

Bookmarking stuff is making your ADHD paralysis 10X worse.

You constantly show your brain that nothing has a shred of novelty.

And IF at some point you decide to sit down and go through your bookmarks, you will see that you have 5.000 choices.

So you'll spend two hours going through them, become completely overwhelmed by the decision-making process, and end up.....not doing anything.

You will of course probably ignore this if you have ADHD becuase you struggle with calculating the "best" option, whether that's for a song, movie, video, book or whatever.

And by "best" we mean the option that will give your dopamine-starved brain the most dopamine.

So your brain freezes during decision making and you end up procrastinating for HOURS.

If you are new here, in a neurotypical brain, dopamine acts as a chemical "go" signal that creates motivation to initiate a task or commit to a choice.

But in ADHD brains, there's a lower baseline of available dopamine and a reduced density of dopamine transporters in the striatum and prefrontal circuits.

So when you try to choose between multiple options, the mundane nature of a standard choice does not cross the threshold to trigger this "go" signal.

Npw to generate the missing neurochemical engagement, the brain enters a state of hyper-fixation/over-researching and endlessly calculating to artificially stimulate dopamine release through the novelty of data gathering.

*Yes, you actually self regulate by having 90 tabs open for no reason.

But again, even though it's tremendously unproductive don't feel guilty about it.

It's not a "lack of willpower".

You have measurably lower blood oxygenation and neural activation in the PFC when executing complex tasks or making decisions for example.

Why is this a problem?

Because this under-activation directly impairs the five specific circuits required to execute a choice.

Also when you try to make a decision, your weakened working memory fails to filter out intrusive or irrelevant thoughts.

It attempts to hold all variables, past mistakes, future consequences, and peripheral details simultaneously.

The cognitive load overflows your "mental RAM," causing a total systemic freeze known as cognitive congestion.

Also (yes, there are more problems), because the connection between the emotional centers of the brain such as the amygdala and the regulatory centers such as the PFC is altered in ADHD, the fear of making a suboptimal choice is interpreted by the brain as an actual threat shifting the brain out of logical evaluation entirely and into a state of anxious avoidance.

Your lack of results is not due to a shortage of facts.

It is due to a mismatch between the volume and form of information and the limited, effortful systems the brain uses to turn intentions into sustained action.

Working on these systems is what you need to do.

Great post. IMO, one of the best investments of your time during the middle of the day is a Yoga Nidra practice for 30 minutes. The first layer is relaxing the body & mind, entering a state of non-sleep deep rest (as western science likes to label it). But if you continue heading more inwards, you will find pure awareness, otherwise known as the "bliss" state. If you do pranayama and meditation in the morning, this Yoga Nidra practice helps act like a "boost" of this awareness state as the day carries on.

You will not just feel recharged. You will create the deepest level of harmony between mind, body, and consciousness which allows life to flow in the most beautiful way.

Trauma stays until we sit in presence when we remember it. The ego sends us back to the moment of suffering to prove that your grievance against it is right - reinforcing it over and over through stories. But you can be right and also at peace.

Finding joy in God on a boring day is paramount.

Otherwise you’ll assume He’s only found when life is exciting or hard.

He’s not.

He’s available even in the mundane.

Discerning people understand that Trump's honesty about his lack of holiness and struggle to forgive puts him closer to God than "devout Christians" like Ross Douthat, who by asking this very question over & over again with such contempt, reveals his own deep hatred for Trump.

[Noah Ryan @NoahRyanCo]

If you’re ADHD and ambitious, you need to be doing the sprint then float method.

Hyper focus so hard you can coast for a bit afterward. Record 5 videos in one day then edit with AI. Have 10 calls every Monday and nothing on Tuesday. Spend 3 weeks cooking through a project at all costs, ship, then chill.

There is no need for the convention of 9 to 5. You’re not a factory worker anymore.
