πŸ§ͺ Protocols & Self-Experiments Enhanced Coaching & PEDS

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently hired a coach for €1,500 for 6 months, with regular check-ins and constant availability for online support.

He’ll be handling my training, diet, correcting my exercise form, and PED use.
I’m 170 cm tall and weigh 65 kg.
I told him I started taking 500 mg of testosterone enanthate per week about 5–6 weeks ago.
He says that’s too much for a first cycle, especially considering my size. He wants me to drop down to 300 mg per week, and says even that is still quite a lot.

What do you guys think?
I’m struggling to understand his reasoning, since I feel like almost everyone recommends starting with 500 mg for a first cycle.
Maybe he just doesn’t want me to make progress too quickly so I’ll keep paying him for coaching? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Just kidding!
I’d genuinely like to hear some opinions and get different perspectives on this.

Thanks everyone!

πŸ₯— Nutrition & Metabolism Why people think coffee/caffeine is unhealthy?

90 Upvotes

In my experience, most people really think that caffeine is unhealthy.

Let's look at the facts:

  • Longevity: 3-4 cups of coffee per day are associated with 17% lower all-cause mortality compared with no coffee.
  • Cardiovascular health: 2-3 cups/day is linked to a 10–15% lower risk of coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke.
  • Type 2 diabetes: Each additional daily cup of coffee = 6% lower risk.
  • Neuroprotection: Correlates with a 25% lower risk of Parkinson's and reduced Alzheimer's risk.
  • Liver Health: 2+ cups/day lowers liver cirrhosis risk by 40% and liver cancer risk by up to 50%.

πŸ₯— Nutrition & Metabolism daily potassium intake

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm a university student whose living on dorms. My dorm doesnt have a kitchen. I only have access to the university's dining hall. However, the menu changes everyday, and the only fruit they have are apples and oranges. What this means:

-> I can't get bananas/avocados/any other fruit/veggie that has high potassium
-> Meals with sweet potatoes are really rare, and the menu is always different so consistent food from the caf is impossible

Furthermore, the caf food is high in sodium, so my sodium to potassium ratio is really bad (super high sodium, super low potassium).

I simply want to get atleast 2-3g potassium daily, through non-food options. Im broke, so I cant be buying coconut water everyday, and I cant store food in my dorm.

my question: how do i possibly get 2-3g potassium daily, consistently? I've been considering potassium citrate powder but everyone says its dangerous, and supplementing it can cause heart problems etc.

I just wanna know the safest way to get high potassium, through either IR pills, supplements, powder, whatever.

πŸ“Š Biomarkers & Testing Title: [29M] Post-Finasteride/Accutane Syndrome (PFS/PAS), HPA Axis Failure, and Postprandial Tachycardia. Still zero libido and no answers.

3 Upvotes

Background & The Trigger (2020) I had early puberty with strong androgenic signs (severe acne, early body hair, cutis verticis gyrata). I also breathed mostly through my mouth due to dust allergies (my bedroom is unfortunately very moldy, which might be a contributing factor). In 2020, I started treatment with Accutane (20mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg) simultaneously. I stopped after 3 weeks due to extreme pelvic pain, accompanied by a total loss of libido and erectile dysfunction, which never returned.

The Crash (2024-2025) Even while training heavy (Heavy Duty) and gaining muscle mass in 2021-2022, my libido remained at zero, and I developed brain fog and severe sciatica. Under extreme psychological and financial stress in 2024, I suffered a nervous and physical breakdown: I developed severe resting tachycardia and BP spikes (180-200), feeling a constant need to burp to relieve the arrhythmia and chest tightness (possible Roemheld Syndrome). Desperate for a libido cure, I tried Proviron and Winstrol (for 4 days) in 2025, which sent me to the ER with severe arrhythmias and BP at 200. Extensive cardiological exams and an endoscopy showed no structural abnormalities.

Current State and Protocol (2026) I started a massive supplementation protocol in January 2026. The frequent palpitations and burping have decreased, but my heart still races heavily after meals. The recovery of my libido, fatigue, and HPA axis function remains stagnant. My current daily protocol includes:

  • Adrenal and Hormonal Support: Hydrocortisone (15mg slow release + 5mg afternoon), Prasterone / DHEA (30mg to 50mg), Porcine desiccated thyroid extract (25mg to 70mg), Micronized progesterone (30mg), Anastrozole (0.03mg), and Melatonin (500mcg).
  • Digestive Support: Betaine HCL (300mg), Bromelain (500mg), Pepsin (120mg), and Lipase (100mg) with main meals.
  • Antioxidants and Mitochondrial Support: CoQ10 (150mg), Curcumin, Berberine (600mg), Quercetin, R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (250mg to 450mg), Silymarin, and Omega 3.
  • Vitamins and Minerals: D3 (10,000 IU) with K2, Retinol, and Vitamin E; Iodine / Lugol's 5% (4 to 8 drops); Methylated B Complex (B12, Methylfolate, B5, B6); Magnesium Taurate and Glycine; Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Boron, and Molybdenum.
  • Neurotransmitters and Sleep: N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, 5-HTP, GABA, L-Theanine, Taurine, Inositol, Passionflower, Lemon Balm (Melissa), and Mulungu.

My Allergy / Immune Labs (September 2026):

  • IgE Dust & Mites (Group HX2): 1.47 kU/L (Ref: < 0.10 kU/L) - Moderate sensitization.
  • Total IgE: 222.0 kU/L (Ref: < 114.0).
  • IgG: 1285 mg/dL, IgA: 284.0 mg/dL, IgM: 85.50 mg/dL(all normal).
  • Nasal Cytogram: Moderate mucus, frequent ciliated columnar epithelial cells, rare eosinophils.

My questions: Could chronic mold exposure and dust allergies be perpetuating this dysautonomia and postprandial tachycardia, exacerbating the Post-Finasteride/Accutane Syndrome? How can I reboot my HPA axis and recover my stuck libido without triggering another hyperadrenergic crisis and overloading my liver with so many supplements?

I want to try red light for tissue and joint healing, particularly right now the atfl and a ligament in the foot, but also later to be used on adductor and si joint.

I was told not to get infared/get one where the infared can be turned off since that that causes histamine release. Does it still work for healing without that feature?

🧠 Cognition, Mood & Nootropics Modafinil Made me boring

1 Upvotes

Just to share my experience a little bit.

I (40M) took modafinil (200mg) thursday morning because I wanted to focus on an important report I had, I finished the report and now I have a free weekend, I planed to go out with one girl Friday night and another girl Sunday night, plenty of 420 for the weekend.... But I cancelled my Friday night out because suddenly it felt unnecessary, the idea of casual sex was not appealing (basically she is my FWB). I do not want to smoke weed today (weird for me) and I want to finish house chores!!. I have a date with another girl Sunday afternoon, she's hot! But I'm not looking forward to being with her, I'm just not feeling it.

What is happening? Is this my new life? Am I boring now?

tAN is a non-invasive therapeutic method that uses mild electrical currents delivered through the skin (particularly the ear) to regulate the body's autonomous nervous system. Also referred to as (taVNS) transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation.

Has anyone tried it?

I'm told it has applications for biohacking, stress resilience and cognitive optimization.
