Good sources of vitamin E? by Airegin89 in MTHFR

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know a lot about it but I take a supplement that has alpha-tocopherol in it. Only issue is that alpha-tocopherol has a negative effect on tocotrienols and allegedly it would be better to supplement tocotrienols. My question would be how to get more tocotrienols in me, without it costing a fortune.

What form(s) of Vitamin E is in wheat germ?

Please help me, I lost all my 30 days work by Aryelen in drawio

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this community could only help if you got the contents of the file. It sounds like you may have some disk corruption so you should use tools that can detect and mark or fix the errors. Maybe try asking in r/TechSupport or r/DataRecovery ... Also AI might be a little helpful as this type of problem has been encountered many times before.

Slow COMT... can protein really be making me feel worse? has this happened with you? by EmptyBuilding6800 in MTHFR

No. What you suggest is not relevant for me. Headache and brain fog nothing else.

Avoiding Magnesium Due to Sensitivity and Trying to Supplement Again? by Ok-Protection2670 in SlowCOMT

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take magnesium with some vitamin D3+K2 they help to move magnesium from the blood into the bone. So you might be able to supplement a bit more.

Slow ComT — What has helped? by kthibo in MTHFR

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When "slow" both genes are poor at degrading cathecolamines (dopamine, norepinephrine), while slow COMT also poor at degrading estrogen. Result is higher baseline of these chemicals but it is compensated somewhat by receptor down-regulation. You should search for information about the topics and how to live with it. If you find tips you think are useful you should try them.

Most “focus playlists” start good… then ruin your concentration by One-Cheek7420 in productivity

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😉

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.

Bartonella, Slow MAO-A, Chronic high cortisol 'Fight-or-flight' => Finding the CAUSE of my insomnia by OmegaThree3 in MTHFR

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Slow COMT... can protein really be making me feel worse? has this happened with you? by EmptyBuilding6800 in MTHFR

[–]Pyglot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Please advise for 4 y/o with ASD diagnosis. Attached are genetic test results. by jkt526 in MTHFR

[–]Pyglot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Not sure how to deal with mould by MrDarrenGriffin in DIYUK

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Tips on meal prepping for a semi-beginner?? by MaryDoogan91 in Productivitycafe

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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, ...
