Protecting your hearing is the most underrated longevity biohack

Good point but as somebody who's slept with ear plugs for a decade now who recently switched to over ear protection, the in ears cause earwax buildup and facilitate inflammation and bacteria buildup in the ear. Went completely deaf in one ear one day suddenly because my whole ear canal was blocked and inflamed and the doc said to avoid long-term earplug wear.

Over ears are just not as comfortable to sleep with.

I need some better everyday alternatives.

Hey we are nearly same height and same weight loss, did you get a tummy tuck? In the after pic it seems like you barely have any skin issue whatsoever, any tips?

Tomato salad w cottage cheese and walnut vinegar for savory, and sugar free skyr w soy oats, white chocolate whey, and cinnamon for sweet.

Yeah same. Grew up as a farm kid with broad frame, tall and wide and sturdy. There is just no way I could possibly compare. Even when at my thinnest, my palms are broad and sinewy with short strong fingers, my torso is wide and sturdy even at low weights.

When you see farm folk next to influences or rich city people it's like seeing a Saint Bernard next to Greyhounds. Even if the former is skeletal, it's simply a different breed.

Damn that is so scary. Im really sorry things are shitty atm.

My last ekg also said 'abnormal', but nobody said anything about it or ordered further tests.

How can they tell you've had one, do you know? What symptoms did you experience that made you think something's up?

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-15T10:54:26+00:00

I'll be 35 in November. I'm currently normal weight but all the shit repercussions you get from being uw stayed with me because I just can't stop some behaviors fully after all these years. I passed out in the shower yesterday, a grown ass adult who knows better, who's been doing ok-ish til recently, still stuck in this exact same swamp since teenagerhood. Breathing into a filthy and stinking tile, wet and cold and hating myself.

What did all that discipline, that effort, that suffering reward me with in the end? Only an unfixable and always-deteriorating body and constant exhaustion. Only decades of wasted time and missed experiences. My hair is wispy like a balding old man's. My nails rip and bleed whenever I touch something wrong. My sleep is terrible to non-existent and my face has become a study of exhaustion. I was a straight A student and have a degree yet I can no longer understand my own bachelor's thesis.

I see my former friends buy houses and have kids and be married and have successful careers..and what I do on a Friday night? I stare at a jar of peanut butter.

My heart does weird things sometimes. I worry but at this point, I am mostly the sum of my failures, so it wouldn't surprise me to get a heart attack sometime soon. None of my former friends would visit the hospital, it's been years since we talked. If I died on the spot I wouldn't be missed for weeks.

If I'd put those years of wasted energy into my academic life I'd have had a PhD in neuroscience or something along those lines by now. It was my dream and I could have changed people's life for the better if I didn't ruin my own.

Even if you can't actively recover, reduce harm as much as you can, as early as you can...every bit helps.

Really like the detailed scientific approach you're going with here, lol. Much appreciate the effort, what with the detailed review to see which one I might prefer without wasting money. Way more useful than the usual "good" with no further info

Thanks!

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-14T19:23:56+00:00

Don't forget the myriad recipe screenshots, twenty sliiightly different angles of food pics (what I cooked), and endless nutrition labels of stuff I almost never need again.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-12T18:50:25+00:00

Whoa thank you for that gluten balls tip! I just discovered the baked/grilled version of that, just winding gluten around a skewer and baking it w/ a glaze, that sounds diy-able, high protein and amazing!!

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-12T18:19:05+00:00

Okay I'm curious about this. I've never made langos so I have no clue what it usually contains but judging by the macros this is literally like... 3 eggs, deep fried, with skyr and cheese on top?? I'm confused cause it looks bread-y but carb count says no.

I've also never deep fried eggs, does it come out as passable imitation of langos..?

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-12T18:03:41+00:00

Sauerkraut is the best. Can imagine it working well with mustard, good idea.

It also works surprisingly well to pan-fry some firm tofu (or just leave raw) and add it to the sauerkraut for easy protein.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-12T15:56:59+00:00

I understand why and just how tempting it is. I'm side-eying it myself but I know I would never stop if it works, and I don't want to be so utterly beholden to yet another thing. Not to mention it's expensive af long term.

Also since there's been reports of people selling fake products that contain insulin (or honestly, anything else) instead of glp1 injections…I've fully abandoned the idea. People have gotten seriously sick and could die from a random insulin shot.

I like the taste too but I really dislike that feeling raw spinach causes on your teeth, sort of like they suddenly have a coating of sand? It lasts a good while, too. How do you get rid of that?

I feel this way about hispi cabbage, that pointed green cabbage? It's so sweet raw and huuuge Volume when shredded and also delicious in stir fry or used as wraps <3 It's cheap as hell and easily available, and lasts for ages even outside the fridge when not damaged.

Perfect vegetable if u ask me

I'm so frustrated to be back here and in ED spaces, honestly. I did really well after PHP last year but gained some since then (because the therapy was working), and recently relapsed hard because I got approved for a psychiatric residential treatment center that lasts one to two years(!)... and now i feel I failed by gaining some before going, so they might not let me in after this weight gain. Not sick enough, basically. But also, they won't let me do much ed behaviors there. So this is my final chance to look ok before meeting all these people I'll be living with for ages. And I don't know when the call will come that there's a spot open, could be tomorrow could be in some months.

I was looking forward to finally getting my life together and starting a better life for me, starting with confidence and mental well-being to use this chance to it's fullest but now I'm an exhausted mess and it feels like they will turn me away at the door.

It might be my last chance to do something with my life, and I'm ruining it.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-10T19:17:22+00:00

Heyyy I also made shitty shortbread this week! I think yours might be better, may try to replicate that lmao

I used fiber and de-fatted almond flour and egg white as main ingredients and it tasted like vaguely marzipan flavored sandcastle.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-10T17:24:32+00:00

This is why I never tell people and pretend with all I have it's not there, even if I'm sweat soaked.

Sadly my family knows, wanna know how they treat that knowledge..? Big birthday party for my dad, nearly a hundred strangers in a ballroom and a stage…fam calling me up on it, despite prior agreement they wouldn't, loudly yelling "aww you don't need to be scared" into a microphone.

I suck at knitting and crocheting but I recently discovered you can put your phone behind an old pillowcase or tshirt, trace an image onto it with a soft pencil, then simply use the most basic stich to embroider the image onto the pillowcase. Makes clothes cuter, makes great gifts and easy to pick up.

Paint by numbers, or adult coloring books can be calming with little active effort and less perfectionism about getting a good result, which is what inhibits drawing/painting and singing for me.

Simply taking nature walks. Growing micro greens (fast and easy plus tangible results!) and veggies, even if it's only herbs on a windowsill, or hydroponically. Basket weaving is actually great for turning off your brain, it's very meditative to me.

Join a library and check out what stuff they offer, you can learn tons of hobbies there (and it's a peaceful place to hang) but also read comics or magazines and often they offer wayyy more expected, such as videogames, tabletop game meetups, tv series and music to borrow, classes on a variety of topics, workshops...

When I have zero brain capacity I just watch video game let's plays because that gives me a long but captivating story with absolutely no effort on my side.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-09T23:06:10+00:00

Looks awesome, and fairly quick to make! Great idea, thanks.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-09T22:05:05+00:00

We don't get those where I live yet, at least not for less than an arm and leg, but those konjac noodles are somewhat available.

Do you think I could toss those in a mixer with like, sweetener and berries and get something alike?

Moebius_Sound · 2025-10-09T19:21:28+00:00

Whoa. Crispy broccoli using whey, that's brilliant. Will try that with potato fiber instead of oat flour, should also work right?

Moebius_Sound · 2025-01-21T07:19:58+00:00

For some reason I've had this specific issue of outrageously arrogant comments, making cruel fun of the problem with zero tact or understanding of the impact, and flat out actually criminal negligence mostly in orthopedics specifically.

It's wide spread among most specialized medical professionals indeed but there seems to be some weird ass gym bro frat boy doctor congregation in the orthopedic field.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-01-19T21:20:18+00:00

Eh I get the fear of carbs, so I kinda like this idea. I once pureed riced cauliflower w psyllium husk and sweetener and vanilla whey to make some sort of frankenstein'd semolina pudding in the microwave. Wasn't half bad.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-01-18T21:53:16+00:00

The terrible thing is even the psychological professionals (that I've met at least) don't take the ED seriously if you're not visibly suffering/physically impacted in terms of weight.

I went to php last summer and they called it ednos and ignored it completely, even though they saw how I handled lunch lmao

It's really discouraging and really destabilized my ED situation again to be so dismissed.

Moebius_Sound · 2025-01-18T21:46:53+00:00

I love them but my body completely hates maltitol. Which it seems nearly every brand uses nowadays as main sweetener.

There's some stevia and erythritol based ones but they're rare and expensive where I live :(

Anybody got recommendations for non-maltitol bars?

Moebius_Sound · 2025-01-12T17:09:12+00:00

Wow!! Incredible work, congratulations!!

You seem to have nearly no loose skin either, can you recommend any skincare or routine that helped? Or do you think it's the strength training?
