Low Serotonin/High Dopamine Diet

[PUTFOT]

@DaveFoster What's the ideal way to take tocovit? Oral/skin? Dosage amount? What time to take? Any way to increase absorption/effect? The goal being to lower estrogen and increase T and dht.

I think the price makes oral the only option; you'd need five times the topical dosage to equal the oral dosage.

For DHT, you should use haidut's Pansterone. Topical DHEA (in Pansterone) up to 15 mg daily will raise DHEA. I'd recommend 4 drops in the morning, 4 at noon, 4 afternoon, and 4 evening. It will stimulate you, and some report estrogen conversion with the 8 drop dosage, hence why I say 4. Start with 1 drop, then 2 drops, etc.

@DaveFoster Ok, just take it with water?

 

[PUTFOT]

@Jsaute21 Do you take tyrosine without BCAAs? Thought you need to take it with BCAAs for serotonin lowering effect.

For vitamin E, it shouldn't matter a whole deal, as it's already suspended in oil, but I'm not entirely sure.

Whole milk would probably be better.

Gelatin should be at most 50 grams per day to not irritate the stomach.

Hey Dave, how did you arrive on that value?

Dr. Peat says more than that can irritate the GI tract and lead to nausea.

Do you remember which interview?

I think it was on functional performance systems, but I'm not sure. Personally, I can't tolerate over 40 g, and other members have said the same (haidut).

Gelatin, stress, longevity
"In some of the older studies, therapeutic results improved when the daily gelatin was increased. Since 30 grams of glycine was commonly used for treating muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis, a daily intake of 100 grams of gelatin wouldn't seem unreasonable, and some people find that quantities in that range help to decrease fatigue. For a growing child, though, such a large amount of refined gelatin would tend to displace other important foods. The National Academy of Sciences recently reviewed the requirements for working adults (male and female soldiers, in particular), and suggested that 100 grams of balanced protein was needed for efficient work. For adults, a large part of that could be in the form of gelatin."

I'd recommend topical vitamin D (2000 IU working up to 10000 IU) on your wrists

So you saying liquid vitamin D can be taken topically? such as the Carlson Lab brand? I always wondered about this, I've been taking it orally for years.

It can, but you need at least 5x the dose, and probably more like 8-10x depending on bathing frequency, rubbing on clothing, and so on.

Thanks. Ok, never-mind, I will continue to take it orally.

Also, I'm going to follow your tip on taking Tocovit orally instead of topically.

Vitamin E has the greatest safety, but it can irritate the intestine. Vitamin D can have some negative effects when taken orally.

@DaveFoster - Thanks Dave. Ill sneak in one more question. What do you think about the fear of having too low estrogen than seems to be talked about in this forum. I cut back on my Tocovit recently due to this talk. How would one know, and is it plausable? I think people were saying something about how low sex drive might mean your too low in estrogen.
Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, coffee is only stressfull when consumed on an empty stomach. Which is why we add sugar to coffee or drink it with a meal.
I'm new to peat but have been drinking 10 cups a day for a couple of years and i'm fine, what is adrenal blowout?

Your point has some truth, but results aren’t always typical for coffee used with sugar, food. It gets to be strong after 3 cups, unless your drinking 5 ounce cups. Then that’s like 3 10 ounce cups.

Exactly, well, it’s unfortunate one can’t speak about certain protected groups without them instantly dismissing you as an anti-whatever.
