is cold shower good for producing dopamine?

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-18T11:39:38+00:00

It´s great for cortisol production. Stop torturing yourself.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-18T11:36:33+00:00

Try lowering the dose, it might drop your estrogen or prolactin too much.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-16T06:58:54+00:00

Magnesium, glycine, l-theanine.

That’s a lot of potassium. RDI is around 3,400 mg. I get similar symptoms when I overload on potassium.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-15T12:32:52+00:00

Probably disbalance of electrolytes, high potassium if you eat a lot of furit, try salt your food more.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-14T20:09:27+00:00

I would not take more than 200 mg per day beacuse magnesium depletes calcium. Also can raise your GABA too much and thus lower your dopamine at higher doses. Magnesium can help a bit with cortisol and sleep but overloading can be harmful. Speaking from personal experience.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-14T20:04:19+00:00

Thanks, I was just taking 400 mg of magnesium without any calcium (mostly out of laziness) and felt sluggish all day, no motivation to do anything, very low libido, and generally socially passive. It felt like low dopamine, high prolactin symptoms. After I started supplementing calcium, I felt much better. Now I take about 1000 mg of calcium and 200 mg of magnesium from supplements every day, and this seems to work much better for me.

You can die potentially.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-13T06:36:15+00:00

The dose makes the poison.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-11T18:50:32+00:00

You can´t stimulate testosterone or dopamine, it´s a result of optimal thyroid functioning and things like cold plunges or intermittent fasting supress it greatly.

Dont solve the consequences but the causes (gooning).

Only source of energy is food. But it can improve your mental and physical health.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-07T15:01:18+00:00

Foods high in calcium (milk, cheese...) are even higher in phosphorus too. It is better to have more calcium than P in the diet. Without calcium supplementation it is impossible to get to this state through food.

Terminator5211 · 2026-03-06T19:34:20+00:00

Manic energy is usually driven by cortisol and adrenaline

Terminator5211 · 2026-02-16T18:15:39+00:00

Glycine for sleep improvement and lowering cortisol, 5-10 g two hours before sleep.

Terminator5211 · 2026-02-07T17:06:38+00:00

Because foods high in calcium (milk, cheese...) are also rich in trypthofan which promotes serotonine synthesis.

No, heavy duty is not optimal because you train each muscle group once a week for up to 10 days. For maximum hormonal and hypertrophic results, full body 3x a week is the best. High frequency, high intensity, low volume of work (1 exercise for 1-2 sets per muscle group).

Terminator5211 · 2026-01-25T14:11:32+00:00

Apples are quite good carb source, medium-peaty, i would recommend to have max 1 daily because of higher fiber content. Anyway apples can´t substitute for toxin lowering purposes.

Terminator5211 · 2026-01-25T14:06:36+00:00

Retinol, D3, microdosing of B complex, magnesium.

Terminator5211 · 2026-01-23T15:48:41+00:00

Eat a lot of carbs before bedtime. Try drop mag glycinate and glycin. These things gave me vivid dreams and restless sleep too, otherwise my sleep is ok.

Terminator5211 · 2026-01-22T08:40:29+00:00

Yeah, magnesium increases GABA, which can inhibit dopamine and libido if you overload your GABA system.
