So I've been lurking for almost a month now and have been trying the Peat diet as well as some supplements but I've decided it's about time to post and hopefully get some advice.
Little background stats: About 5'11", ~170 lbs, maybe 15% bodyfat, mid to late 20's
Here's the main issues I'm dealing with which I hope to eventually take care of
-Anxiety disorder... Pretty bad, this is my #1 problem. I've been dealing with this for probably around 9 years pretty majorly, probably minorly dealt with it most of my life
-Depression/Motivation issues... Most days I'm too tired to do anything really productive
-Possible Heart/Circulatory issues... Not sure if it's anxiety or actual issues but I get chest pains/tightness off and on for awhile now and my left side of my arm gets numb and stings at times when I wake up. This is the scariest deal for me, but I'm still alive and have been surviving all these years so it can't be too bad, I'm guessing. Regardless I want this corrected
-Libido could be better
-Hair is starting to thin out
-Psoriasis
So those are my issues more or less in order of concern
ATM this is what my diet consists of...
Cheese, Occasional milk and Orange Juice (seem to cause watery stools for me), High protein foods like beef and chicken, Carrots, Coconut oil, Veggies lie Spinach or Kale (well cooked), Soda, Candy if I'm out of sugary things, Occasional Oatmeal, Great Lakes Gelatin on occasion and Pork rinds/cracklins on occasion, Liver weekly, avoid PUFA's as best I can.
These are the supplements I take..
-Caffeine (used to drink coffee but seemed to be causing major headache on left side of head so stopped and am drinking redbull or Soda ATM)
-Vitamin D 2000 iu's, Now Brand. Only consume this when I dont go tanning in tanning place.
-Vitamin K2. Carlsons. Anywhere from 10 -25 mg a day. Started taking this regularly again recently
-Vitamin A. Carlsons. 15,000-90,000+ a day. I take more if I feel negative effects of too much calcium from food or Vitamin D
-Asprin. 750-1500mg a day. Have been cutting down on this though, seems to make me dizzy. Might be K2 deficiency as it seems to help.
-Glycine. 10+ grams a day
-Lysine. 2+grams a day
-Tyrosine. 5+grams on most days
-Theanine. On occasion. Around 200 mg at a time
-Probiotics for when I get diarrhea
-Magnesium around 400 mg of Mag Glycinate
-Zinc 50 mg most days
-Vitamin E for when I eat high PUFA meals
Supplements that don't seem to work for me in a noticeable way
-Thiamine
-Niacinamide
-Taurine
I'd really like to start addressing some of the issues I listed above ASAP. I've read good things lately about Serotonin antagonists like Cyproheptadine and good things about hormones like Pregnenolone and DHEA but haven't tried em.
Can I get some advice on what kind of things I can take to address my issues? I don't want to waste anymore money experimenting and I'd like to start attacking these issues. What base supplements am I missing? What kind of things have worked for you? Any advice from people who recognize my struggle would be greatly appreciated. This community is awesome. Thanks :)
