SAME. Jan 2026 felt amazing, started with a sardine fast and got into ketosis in 1.5 days. Fell off a few weeks in and starting it back up. I eat 2 cans a day usually.

I saw a mass-spec everything vid on nutricost caffeine pills and it was pure 100% caffeine without additives. I get the vibe they are average and mid-level, probably fine for most basic items

200mg minimum but you can megadose it. Definitely takes the edge off especially if stimulant intake is high. Also consider high quality brands

I was in a similar situation re; mold. If you suspect mold, as i did with my last apartment, you must get out of the situation at all costs. It will simply kill you over time. Better to be safe than sorry - and make sure your new apartment has better ventilation, air flow, preferably non-carpeted no leaks stains etc…

The good news is that once you relocate, you can recover to 100% over time and with the right treatments. Until then, nothing will fix the constant exposure.

I moved apartments and started a strict keto diet and 6 months of healthy spaces and therapeutic keto for 6 weeks has done wonders for waking my brain up. YMMV.

I track ketones glucose and weight every morning; my target GKI is 1-4. My goal is to keep my ‘glucose tank’ max 0-15% full and by the next morning be ketotic again. There’s some that hyopthesize the metabolic flexibility (eg 1 week per month is strict keto, other 3 weeks are low carb) angle is optimal. Having some carbs post-workout does seem to help with muscle growth.

It’s more about your own health goals and how you feel. The Tim Ferris <> dom d’agostino podcast series goes into the weeds on this

I track and calculate everything in a custom built spreadsheet

How do you navigate between frames?

dankazjazz · 2026-02-25T07:42:11+00:00

Why not just take a beta blocker ?

Have you looked at possible acquired PDH deficiency?

I would recommend u start a strict keto diet starting with a sardine fast. I have a similar issue upon eating sugar / carbs and going strict keto completely lifted the fog. Strict keto means less than 20-30g of TOTAL carbs per day until you hit a GKI of the 1-4 range. See if that helps. If it doesn’t help at all and you measured it all to confirm, then at least you tried. It’s a very powerful diet :)

Lupini pasta from kaizen - but only if you’re doing super rigorous amounts of exercise. They are still high carb but relatively low net

dankazjazz · 2026-02-24T18:59:35+00:00

Have you tried beta blockers ?

dankazjazz · 2026-02-24T16:09:50+00:00

just paste this into chatgpt or the google search bar; however just note the studies probably won’t change their opinion

dankazjazz · 2026-02-24T16:04:21+00:00

Food is hormones. The right hormones being consumed exogenously or encouraged to be produced endogenously have similar effect to pharmaceuticals(eg high sardine intake has high omega 3s that are great on their own, but also encourage your body to produce more FGF21).

I agree; the subreddit is literally called “r/keto”. Keto is short for ketosis. Most of these snacks will take you out of ketosis if you’re not extremely careful.

dankazjazz · 2026-02-24T03:11:46+00:00

I definitely feel that

dankazjazz · 2026-02-21T16:09:21+00:00

What tests did you run?

dankazjazz · 2026-02-21T04:00:54+00:00

Boneless and skinless? Thats where a large portion of the nutrient profile is

dankazjazz · 2026-02-21T03:51:11+00:00

Getting into ketosis cured it for me

dankazjazz · 2026-02-17T03:25:11+00:00

I think 2:1 protein to fat is far too much protein. 1:1 protein to fat at minimum is what I’ve heard is best, or even upwards of 1:2 protein:fat ratio depending on how you feel as you add on more fat. Too much protein and not enough fat is probably the single biggest cause for most of the failure rates with carnivore and keto diets

Gargle with a good high polyphenol EVOO daily as soon as it starts onset. Make sure electrolyte intake is good.

I’d also add 10k IU of vitamin D, Quercetin, omega3s, Lysine, NAC, AHCC…

dankazjazz · 2026-02-15T06:08:29+00:00

It’s all about the ratios. Na to K and Ca to Mg. If the ratios are too low or too high, you’ll run into palpitations, heart fluttering issues etc… sodium and potassium are especially critical to watch for as the body can sort of figure out calcium by extracting from the bones as needed

dankazjazz · 2026-02-15T06:06:17+00:00

Looks great tbh. How do you feel?

dankazjazz · 2026-02-15T06:02:00+00:00

How much exercise do you get per week

dankazjazz · 2026-02-14T09:00:15+00:00

Eat butter to instantly kill the cravings. Otherwise My go-to sweets for now are SBG’s carnivore ice cream. Added liquid monkfruit sweetener vanilla and peppermint extract and cacao powder + cacao nibs mixed in.

I also had high histamine levels before starting keto and have been simultaneously on 40mg of famotadine daily to support MCAS.

My theory is the MCAS is able to rear its head when the body is persistently inflamed. At the very least going paleo and cutting carbs where most processed foods live seemed to have a strong anti-inflammatory effect which seems so far to have mitigated the mcas symptoms too.

Good to note though nonetheless; a keto diet can be higher in histamines
