Vetted Supplement Brands
I am constantly asked, "what brand for this" and "what brand for that", so I figured I'd write up a review on common supplements I speak on frequently on my Twitter timeline. I am not affiliated with any of these brands. If you are aversive to using Amazon, just search the brand name with supplement included on Google and it will pull up related links. These are all supplements I've used myself at one point or another and some of the best quality with minimal to no additional ingredients.Magnesium chloride:For oral and t...
Immune System Support
ALL simple carbs (primary focus on refined, this means ZERO sucrose in all forms, including bread/cereal/pastries, alcohol, etc.) create excess glycolysis wastes, especially with a sedentary lifestyle or low energy expenditure, which crashes the methylation cycle and energy metabolism, then all gene expression and immune processes. This creates an inflammatory breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. (high NADH, low NAD+ ratio)EAT WHOLE FOODS CONTAINING THESE NUTRIENTS or SUPPLEMENT IF NECESSARY:Magnesium in wild caught seafood, h...
Dopamine Support
Smart Stimulants That Can Be Used Without Many Risks:Bromantane is a Russian nootropic chemical that upregulates Tyrosine hydroxylase with long lasting benefits, which is the process responsible for the transformation of L-Tyrosine into L-Dopa, which then transforms into Dopamine. It also enhances Tryptophan hydroxylase, explaining why it is stimulating if you are going for physical and cognitive activities while being calming if you are doing nothing.Semax is a Russian nootropic peptide that stimulates Monoamine pathways while promoting Neurog...
Solar Protection
I will start off by saying I live in Phoenix, Arizona, where the UV index reaches 10-11 and temperature reaches 110-120 degrees F regularly during the summers, so I have quite extensive firsthand experience regarding this subject.So it starts off in 2017 when I was still consuming the vegan diet. My diet was never heavy in industrialized vegetable/seed oils, but they were still present, and refined sucrose consumption was high. Anyway, I had went to the local river with a friend to go river tubing. I had eaten about 2 grams of psilocybin mushro...

Tryptophan-Kynurenine Metabolism - Inflammation and Immune System Function
Quinine and its derivatives have nothing to do with its proposed function of a zinc ionosphere, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to include.Quinine inhibits tryptophan metabolism or more specifically, serotonin metabolism via inhibiting Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 enzyme in tryptophan-serotonin metabolism.Islahudin, F., Tindall, S., Mellor, I. et al.The antimalarial drug quinine interferes with serotonin biosynthesis and action. Sci Rep 4, 3618 (2014). https://doi.org/10.1038/srep03618Studies suggest this induces tryptophan starvation, but commonl...
Different Forms of Magnesium and Their Uses
I get questions about the differences between each form of magnesium and their purposes often, so here is a short cheat sheet to each form.It is important to know that all forms of magnesium cross the blood brain barrier due to the separation into pure magnesium ion during digestion which reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride is THE tissue salt that all oral forms of magnesium are converted into. It is also important to know the magnesium ion’s usage and absorption in the body is wherever ...
GABA Support
Hyper NMDA/calcium chemistry drives many physical/mental/emotional health issues, including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, drug/medication withdrawal, schizophrenia, OCD, bipolar disorder, BPD, PTSD, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia, and mitochondrial dysfunction, etc.The NMDA/calcium receptors are responsible for all pain perception: physical, mental, emotional. Hyper Calcium activation also precedes oxidative stress and inflammation in many areas of the body.You may notice you are experiencing this biochemistry when you experi...
Bodybuilder Meal Recipe
I am going to begin a new dietary recovery protocol that is fit for even bodybuilders, so I figured I would share with you all so you may also implement this recipe into your own protocols and share your experiences.Really, this should be tried out for three (3) days a week for three (3) months minimum.Oh my goodness, it is so delicious, you’ll love it. The recipe goes as follows: Stove burner set at 2.75 temp level Grind turkey breast Mayan/Celtic Salt Magnesium Chloride Magnesium Glycinate Liberal fresh ground black pepper Lemon juice Spina...
Sucrose is a neurotoxic stimulant drug
The SUCROSE molecule is an addictive poison stimulant, seriously depleting the immune system and creating widespread imbalance and degeneration in the brain and nervous system. It produces the worst cellular waste in the biology, called Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Hydride, or NADH, which pushes you out of ketosis, therein crashing gene expression and leaving one debilitated. Foggy and fatigued.NADH is the greatest inflammatory marker in the body, and if for any reason inflammation is an issue, Sucrose is always the worst contributing fact...
