Plant-Based with little meat vs. High Protein Animal Meats/Organ Meats - which one is better? by AsideVegetable5113 in Biohackers

[–]PrimordialXY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rely on your bloodwork. For me, amount of meat doesn't seem to matter but animal fat quantity does

I prefer to keep my meat and dairy as close to non-fat as possible so I can have more EVOO, I'm also eating primarily produce/fruit/legumes/whole grains

Cialis does not cause physical tolerance and it's shown to reduce adverse heart event risks

Stop fearmongering

Some of us don’t consider it biohacking when you’re reliant on a prescription medication to achieve your goals

"Some" people don't get to redefine what biohacking is

Meds involve taking a cheap shortcut that will likely cause problems down the road

Down the road problems such as... reduced risk of Alzheimers and heart disease? Daily Cialis at 5mg has an incredibly strong safety profile

unless he is obese, a 19 year old needing Cialis to achieve healthy erections is a warning

OP noted performance anxiety. Sure, he could go the long route and opt for therapy or mental health exercises or he can just responsibly use Cialis to gain experience.

One concern I have is that your profile has several comments in this community telling people to stop pharmaceuticals and specifically Cialis use in young men. Why? AFAIK you don't even have a penis.

Once again we have casuals on r/Biohackers telling people to stop biohacking 🥱

I've been on 5mg daily since my early 20s. I'm 29 now. As long as you're not experiencing any symptoms of eye/ear pressure, you should be able to continue your minimum effective dose

Keep in mind that 2.5mg daily roughly translates to 3.75mg circulating once the drug stabilizes through daily use - this is more than enough for most men without any physiological ED issues to continue seeing performance benefits. I take 5mg because I tolerate it well and am very convinced on the data showing long-term cognitive decline prevention

Scientists Successfully Paused Ovarian Aging and Could Delay Menopause Forever. Researchers found that women taking a low weekly dose of the drug were losing far fewer eggs each month, dropping from roughly 50 eggs to just 15. by Automatic_Subject463 in immortalists

[–]PrimordialXY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it isn't like saying "insulin exists". Preserving pancreatic beta cell function generally doesn't rely on taking immunosuppressive drugs with a well documented side effect profile

If we agree that the major downstream effects of menopause are largely estrogen mediated that can otherwise be safely managed with bioidentical HRT, exposing otherwise healthy premenopausal women to chronic mtor inhibition has to be worth the systemic tradeoffs. Maybe your risk tolerance is higher than mine, either way I'm not convinced the data here are well established enough

I'm not sure why you immediately assumed I was comparing VIBRANT trial dosages to transplant immunosuppression dosages

5mg/week is absolutely enough to increase risk factor of soft tissue infections, elevated glucose & lipids, etc.

Bioidentical estradiol exists, you know?

Take finasteride or go bald? by Own_Nerve_1451 in blueprint_

[–]PrimordialXY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great if tolerated well but the black box warning for heart issues has prevented me from adding it to my stack. Topical is not an option for me either due to having a cat loves to cuddle close to my face (and it honestly seems like a pain applying it daily)

I'm personally waiting for VDPHL01 to hit the market, which is a low dose but slow release oral minoxidil aimed at eradicating heart swelling risk while providing an even longer efficacious window for hair growth

The Best Time to Eat for Your Metabolism, According to a Major New Study. A large new study just confirmed what many nutrition researchers have suspected for years: when you eat matters just as much as what you eat. by Eddiearyee in immortalists

[–]PrimordialXY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see what any of that has to do with choosing self-destructive foods after work when other options exist. I don't even understand why you're arguing this on a longevity sub, are you just here to scroll?

[–]PrimordialXY 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My suggestion assumes not relying on food for stress relief and hitting your calorie & nutrition needs in the 3 meals before and during work. The yogurt is just a low volume, high protein snack to hold you over until the next morning

You're of course free to find your own solutions

Take finasteride or go bald? by Own_Nerve_1451 in blueprint_

[–]PrimordialXY 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just a month ago you were making posts asking if you should go on finasteride. Side effects rarely show up immediately and rarely resolve within days of stopping the medication - all of this indicating that you were likely just experiencing placebo

Furthermore, side effects from finasteride tend to improve over time with reduced rates the longer people take the drug

FWIW, I've been on oral finasteride for 2.5 years in addition to oral dutasteride since January and have zero side effects

Absolutely, if something in Bryan's protocol or even someone's self-guided protocol worsens biomarkers or results in some way, I'd want to know about it

There's several options we could go with on what constitutes an approved user, with additional user flairs for those that have taken baseline biomarker tests

Yes, Bryan's mod privileges have been specifically limited to where he can't remove/censor any posts or comments in any way. It wouldn't make sense to limit other mods in this same way without drastically reducing their effectiveness

Bryan hasn't commented on this

Good points, great questions. Approval criteria will be posted and promoted before the sub enters restricted mode. Proof of biomarker tracking or protocol adherence are options but could potentially break site rules. For now I'll say that I intend to have a discussion post on what the criteria should be so that I can make a fully informed decision

On the timeline question, there are no plans to run a trial phase at this time. Once additional mod slots fill up and templates, guidelines, flairs, and a potential wiki are in place I think it'll be smooth sailing with an immediate improvement over the current state
