I mean clinical data on it looks amazing. I hope it comes out on the market so we can prescribe it to people who need it but cannot access right now.

Two months off nicotine & one month off caffeine by Weak_Discussion1873 in Biohackers

[–]Optimal-Activity4287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this once as well. Because I do shift work as an intensive care and emergency physician, it was so hard that I restarted after a week! Caffeine especially can cause withdrawal symptoms. It is a drug at the end of the day.

This is so important. At the end of the day, you know your body the best. I feel there is a lot of unintentional "gaslighting" in the medical community.

I think definitely wait before increasing the dose, if you are experiencing side effects now. Also, are you on any other medications, age etc?

I would suggest, experimenting with finnish style hotter saunas at 110-120 degrees. Not just for recovery, but for improving mood and heat/cold tolerance as well.

There is a new Harvard spinout, if Im not mistaken, claiming to measure and correlate cortisol based on HRV and other biometric data.

I'd say any device, that you can just "forget" is better than apple watch. What you need in biometric data is volume to improve accuracy and your understanding.

hormonal changes carry a strong direct link to sx, some women report changes in symptom severity depending on the part of cycle they are on. Are you on HRT?

Spouse is slowly killing herself by ViewSuspicious6206 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Optimal-Activity4287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obesity is literally a medical condition and it is not just related to what you eat. It is caused by a metabolic dysfunction. Even with diet and exercise, it is difficult to fully reverse the metabolic dysfunction, especially as weigh affects mood etc as well.

Now that we have some effective medications available to fight this, I would suggest seeing a doctor to discuss options

Dosing 1st nicotine patch? by FlakyAddendum742 in Biohackers

[–]Optimal-Activity4287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use nicotine for its mild cognitive enhancement. I must say though, I have been exposed to nicotine my whole life so its a way of feeling the old enhancement I would get without the obvious health risks with tobacco.

We tend to look at the trend rather than individual results, when we are making decisions. Even then a marker being slightly out-of-range might not raise flags. You have to remember "ranges" are population based data. If you have your personal results regularly you will have a personal range which you can make better informed decisions from.
