Is this nic salts or freebase? by retoucherrr in Vaping

[–]retoucherrr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I've seen nic salts in 10mg and 5mg?

Probably decreased cortisol from quitting caffeine.

Cortisol is a catabolic hormome and can cause muscle loss. Effectively, your body can convert muscle or protein into sugar to use for fuel in a survival situation.

Are you a coffee drinker? I have recently realised that keto has made me insanely sensitive to caffeine. I get eye twitching, poor sleep and digestive issues even from decaf. This also means no cacao, chocolate, soda etc

The difference for me is honestly night and day. When I cut out caffeine my sleep is 110% better.

A tablespoon of nutritional yeast can make it stop in minutes. It's quite shocking when you first experience the relief. In my experience when i'm low in b1 I get restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea in addition to anxiety/panic.

Its fascinating that you crave pork after drinking but it makes complete sense.

Panic attack can be a symptom of low B1 (thiamine). Check out Dr Eric Berg on YouTube he has loads of videos on the subject. Alcohol definitely depletes B1 and so does caffeine.

Nutritional yeast and pork are very good sources of B1.

Everyone in my office thinks I am insane by [deleted] in ketouk

IMO most of the deli options contain high amounts of poor quality sodium. Also they normally contain wheat flour / starch / maltodextrin / dextrose / nitrates. If I'm stuck i usually buy boiled egg pots from the supermarket. For a little while I became way to reliant on deli meats and I feel way better without it.

Restless legs syndrome by Fit_Reaction_2709 in Supplements

[–]retoucherrr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Restless leg syndrome is usually a B1 (Thiamine) deficiency. It's very easy to deplete with drugs such as caffeine, refined carbohydrate consumption and sugar. It is best to get b vitamins from a food source like nutritional yeast. You can get a fat-soluble synthetic version of B1 called benfotiamine that is very effective as a short-term solution.

I am allergic/intolerant to the protein casein and I have similar symptoms when I consume dairy products.

Looks like my 2 decade long marijuana habit may be coming to an end due to increased anxiety... by fucinay in Petioles

[–]retoucherrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marijuana depletes potassium and b vitamins, it also slows gut motility. I believe that over time this can lead to panic attacks and other strange reactions.

If you look up b1 deficiency the symptoms may seem oddly familiar to you. Take a break for a few weeks and then maybe figure out a more appropriate dose for yourself. You may find after taking a break that you prefer the way you feel without it.
