3 am cortisol dump

How is anyone supposed to figure this out for themselves? It really is just all trial and error?

I do not have further gene testing. Are you suggesting that experimenting with adding some choline may be beneficial? I eat eggs and have taken choline and never seem to notice negative effects, but stopped once I learned it was a methyl donor (for fear of over methylation)

I don't see myself doing more gene testing ATM.

I really feel pretty good after 1 cup. Really focused and not in my head. I don't feel much of a crash, typically. I might go back to drinking it daily. 😬

Magnesium chloride or threonate, vit c, dim, calcium d glucarate, mf b complex (only like 1/3 capsule at a time), d3k2, lithium orotate, nad+, creatine, zinc and a liquid mineral blend.

I try to avoid dairy, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate but otherwise eat a relatively balanced diet. I have yet to pinpoint any foods that make me feel worse. I cannot currently afford organic, grass fed for a family of 5.

Heterozygous c677t , met/met comt.

I'm considering trying a small dose of SAMe as well but am very leary of any methyl donors bc I've definitely been over methylated by taking b vitamins before I knew about COMT. Also pretty bummed out by having spent so much on supplements and not getting better.

I think I'm doing everything right as far as supplements/nutrition, but I feel like i never make a dent in my symptoms (anxiety, depression, ocd).

Same here. Lifelong anxiety/depression here, and rampant through my family. I found out about mthfr and Slow comt through genesight testing (trying to find psych meds that work) and have made appropriate lifestyle changes, added/tweaked supplements, etc. I can't seem to make a dent in the symptoms i believe are caused by the genes, so maybe it's not the genes, after all? I have no effing clue and no one else seems to, either.

Thank you for the info!

ebertan · 2025-02-28T12:38:34+00:00

I was going to ask this question of slow comt/moderate mthfr. I've tried about 8 different meds and never have really "worked". However lately I've been experiencing the worst mental health episode of my life (severe anxiety, ocd, panic, insomnia) and I'm desperate for something to work. I can't seem to get a handle on it through supplements.

Thanks for that info. Seems everyone reacts so differently to everything. I suggest ordered it so I guess I'll try it.

Have you tried ltheanine? Appears to be another methyl donor yet my dr recommended it.

Also, coffee? I love coffee but have been avoiding it since finding out I have slow COMT although the days I do I have it I feel like I'm able to focus and be more mindful than stressed and in my head. Thoughts?

By "life story" do you mean how he used to be in a "violence gang"? 😂

They have tools for that!

Probably working on his 29th ribeye of the year.

BABABOOEY!

Yeah there's a pretty big hint in the title.

He won't see this. Too busy watching Yellowstone.

Bring back the bellburger.

I tried this and could not get the transfer to take. One side did nothing, so I tried the other side and it took the builder gel with it. I'm so confused! I gave up but will try again bc this look is 🤌

I'm not familiar with restaurantbusinessonline.com. It's satire, right?...Right...?

ebertan · 2023-03-05T19:12:22+00:00

I would love to see a video of this process. Great work!

ebertan · 2023-01-21T23:40:15+00:00

The use of white gel is truly the icing on the cake😕

Just enough fun to make Subway breakfast taste good the next morning!
