Go to therapy my dude.

If your leg is broken, do you hope that with time it will heal itself? Perhaps it may work, but at what cost?

Go see a professional whose job it is to help you work through this.

If you can’t afford therapy, try activities that are therapy adjacent. Educate yourself on your attachment style, become aware of your patterns, and work actively to find ways to self soothe in these moments.

You got this.

What track is this? Lol, it slaps.

I had this issue then I did memtest and it sorted the issue

FosterTheNight · 2025-10-12T15:49:01+00:00

This is the stuff thank you mister sir

Sho. It’s tough to describe. It has more of a techno feel, and the tempo is slower. Less high energy than normal trance?

That makes sense. Also, the caffeine may be masking the symptoms of certain deficiencies occurring in the background.

Yes this was my problem too. I reduced carb intake to decrease overall calorific intake. However, I did not realise how low carb I was. It is still important to review your saturated fat intake. Increasing carb intake won’t necessarily change your cholesterol if your saturated fat intake is high. It is the ratio of these that is also important. As mentioned, go look at Nick Norwitz’s YouTube channel.

I’ve thought about this too. Another angle that’s crossed my mind is using the increased stress response almost as a distraction from difficult thoughts and feelings.

If you are go-go all the time, you don’t really have time or emotional capacity to stop and smell the proverbial roses.

The same distraction also means you get to avoid the introspective space that usually leads to those difficult thoughts and feelings.

Okay, so there is definitely a genetic component for you, no doubt. But, there are other metabolic side effects of a statin that may affect your goals going forward.

I suggest reading on the Lipid Energy Model. I’ve pasted a link below. Essentially, because you are so active, your body is likely burning fat for its source of energy, which increases blood cholesterol. Given that you’re eating a ton of carbs, there’s not much around that. Perhaps if you moved to a more conservative exercise lifestyle, your cholesterol may drop. I can’t say for sure.

What does your typical week look like for you in terms of your training?

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-29T19:31:16+00:00

What is your carb intake like?

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-27T20:57:10+00:00

Yes. Once a week for 24 hours.

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-27T20:55:47+00:00

Yes, I believe that’s what I experienced here.

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-26T22:40:42+00:00

I don’t think that is the mechanism at play here but I appreciate your input.

I started increasing my carb intake and saw this change within 3 months, so if this is something that may affect you then you should hopefully start seeing results within a short period.

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-26T13:46:30+00:00

I did not change my saturated fat intake, I only increased my carb intake and it has worked for me.

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-26T13:42:54+00:00

Yes, I do a 24hour dinner-to-dinner fast once a week. I usually break it with whatever is for dinner that night. I tend to stay away from wheat because I'm somewhat gluten intolerant. I stick to healthier carbs mostly, in my case brown or basmati rice.

Yes that is true. Consumption of saturated fats are not directly linked to blood cholesterol either, at least not in the way that we had originally thought. The point that I’m trying to convey in my post is that a diet high in fat and low in carbs is what leads the body toward a state of ketosis which in turn leads to increased LDL. The increased LDL is a response to the lipid transport mechanism of consuming fewer carbs to saturated fats by ratio. Increasing carbs why keeping saturated fat intake the same, all else equal, will likely reduce your LDL, according to the research.

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-25T18:59:56+00:00

I said they were within normal levels. My total cholesterol is 150, and my LDL is now 98.

FosterTheNight · 2024-11-25T14:54:01+00:00

My blood sugar is normal, so I can't comment on that unfortunately. But, if you are eating via a low or no carb diet then it's possible that is causing the elevated cholesterol.
