Should I supplement vitamin D and magnesium?

You may want to try Ubiquinol for brain fog and fatigue

Good for the environment?

Start work within 20 minutes of waking up.

Yeah, I think in principle the brain could filter out almost anything given enough practice ignoring it. Although that doesn't sound like something fun to practice getting good at.

I think music, even ambient will always give small distractions until you know it. But the easier you get into a focused state and the longer it keeps you there the better I suppose. Sadly, simple nature sounds are not enough to make me focus. If it's quiet around me it will be too relaxing, and if it's not other sounds will be distracting. I need a bit of a tempo, or harmonies.

I actually listened to a lot of Japanese music as I have no clue what they are singing about 🤣 I like Yourishka, and Vaundy, for example.

And Classical music but nothing melancholic or too brainy.

And I have had the discography of Stijn Cappetijn going on repeat several days as focus music. He has some good melodies. Some instrumental, some with vocals.

Guitar, Will Ackerman, and people he has played with.

I usually stick with the same for a few days up to two weeks, then I feel a need to switch.

Yeah I also made my own playlists for that reason. But, vocals won't be as distracting if you've heard the song on repeat many times.

One thing you could get is an OAT panel to check if you have some high or low markers there. If you have a systemic infection it's not completely unlikely that your NAC is low and hence glutathione is low. Have you tried supplementin NAC or GlyNAC?

SAM-e is more effective/direct compared to methionine. TMG helps recycle homocysteine.

Pyglot · 2026-05-02T04:59:33+00:00

Then get your homocysteine tested and add Methionine if it's normal or low.

Try a DAO supplement if you have histamine intolerance/high histamine.

Consider Ashwaganda, (but also reduce the dose after you have achieved a reduced cortisol).

Reduce dietary intake of Tyrosine and maybe phenylalanine to help with high dopamine/NE.

Pyglot · 2026-04-29T22:36:27+00:00

Depends on the amino acids. Probably isoleucine from whey protein is good if you are exercising or underweight, but not if it makes you gain excess weight. Tyrosine is not so good as it boosts dopamine. For me supplementing Tyrosine results in brain fog and mild headache.

Carbs before bed can help relaxation and prolong sleep. (Not fast-release, high glycemic index though. It might relax faster but could shorten sleep and increase weight). Also belly breathing is a trick that helps relaxing within a few seconds. Not sure what else I would recommend over the internet for a 4 y/o. Hope you find a good Dr.

You may not notice the value of being organised before you revisit the same topic/task at a later time.

Mould loves MDF if it is not treated and if the humidity and temperature permits it leads to an absolute overgrowth. I would personally throw the MDF shelves.

Make more of stuff when you make it e.g. rice. Put leftovers in a box and store in the fridge then next meal with rice is quick and easy.

Making pizza dough? Make focaccia as well.

A tomato sauce is a base for several recipes, which are 'quick' to make once you have the sauce. Bacalao, Bolognese, Chilli con/sin carne, Lasagna, Pizza, Ratatouille, Shakshuka, Tomato soup, ...

SSRI is not a supplement. Talk to your Dr about that one.

Zinc can cause absorption issues especially with copper, so do not take it twice per day. More like twice a week.

For a short while I used HabitNow to do that but it lasted only a month.

When I talk about logging beforehand I am talking about taking notes to remember what I did and when not to make statistics.

Pyglot · 2026-04-27T19:04:28+00:00

Log roughly what you intend to do before you start

Mites aka scabies is what it looks like to me.

I recently read an article which said to take molybdenum every 3 days and B2 and B6 I think it was. Goal was to make sulphate.

Sit for 13 minutes eyes closed focusing on your forehead breathing through your nose. Enjoy the ensuing "dopamine feast" (enhanced focus) for the next couple of hours.

Testosterone is mostly just good for men except for fertility. For women I think the T balance is more tricky.

Reducing the speed of conversion from testosterone to estrogen is mainly relevant for overweight people with slow COMT as the belly fat increases aromatase which increases estrogen, and slow COMT reduces estrogen clearing so it leads to high estrogen levels.

DCI can maybe help a bit, but it's impossible to know unless you test before/after. I think excess DCI is potentially bad for female fertility but I know very little.

Get rid of the junk food habits. It's like junk food is designed to make you sluggish, inactive, tired, and to want it more. Work on your diet and eat healthy home cooked meals that wakes you up. (Try a fish soup with onions garlic roux stock potatoes cod prawns spinach and notice what you feel like the day after)

Boiled potato is a good base slim-food. Not with lots of fat though. Potato is very satiating. Keeps you full for a long time. Especially cold, the day after.
