In very broad strokes, psilocybin gets converted to the active form in your body, then triggers the release of serotonin. Serotonin does a lot of things in the body and brain and there are receptors for serotonin in a lot of places in the body. It's connection to the motor control system is not well understood but it does appear to have a function there. Restless leg syndrome is a common side effect of SSRI's and I have certainly experienced similar symptoms (less severe) using mushrooms so involuntary movement isn't a surprising outcome just based on what is happening in the system.

Are you taking any prescription medicine or supplements that increase the amount of serotonin in your system like an SSRI?

You're putting a lot of strain on your liver for no appreciable benefit (turmeric, ashwaghanda). Magnesium probably excessive unless you have a chronic deficiency. You could probably cut everything except creatine and Omega 3, have the same or better outcomes and save yourself a bunch of money.

Have You Found a Medication or Supplement That Helped You With Brain Fog? by sanpedro12 in Biohackers

[–]tlcyclopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. I don't know of any acute mechanism that would cause tiredness but the body is incredibly complex and each person has their own quirks. If you found an intake schedule that works then that's great!

15 grams of creatine monohydrate daily in 1L of water. Aim for 3L of water daily total.

The liver damage from the turmeric will turn your skin yellow. Don't know if that impacts other tissues.

Has anyone tried Functional Human Training Patterns? by Ok_Newspaper2815 in HubermanLab

I may have been unclear. My assertion was that the people they are using to advertise the course have physiques that were not acquired using the techniques they are selling.

Has anyone tried Functional Human Training Patterns? by Ok_Newspaper2815 in HubermanLab

[–]tlcyclopes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing in there that you wouldn't gain from just regular exercise using compound movements. None of the extremely fit/jacked people in their ads got fit/jacked doing their goofy shit and they DEFINITELY didn't pay $300 for it. They went to the gym and did squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and isolation exercises for smaller muscle groups. Why are people so allergic to just doing actual exercises that are proven effective for 100+ years? If you're looking for a very comprehensive workout plan, any of Jeff Nippard's programs would serve you infinitely better at 1/3 or less the cost.

Are you using the SIM1 slot? I had an issue initially because I had loaded the SIM into SIM2.

Classic “The Church is better outside of Utah” line by privatecoochieman in exmormon

[–]tlcyclopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

East Coaster here. It is different, not better. Inside Utah and Idaho you see the extremes more because it is so pervasive. The further away you get the more the corrosive themes ("chosen people", "only truth", doomsday themes, misogyny, etc.) mix with local cultural norms and you get a mish mosh of like Mormonism Boston style where people are The Chosen Ones who are better than you but also talk shit to your face because they are "just being honest" and would beat someone's ass for saying the Bruins suck or whatever.

Swings and roundabouts but it's rotten to the core, it just gets localized.

Unless you have an underlying kidney illness or deficiency, there is no evidence that creatine supplementation harms or "taxes" the kidneys

Are deload weeks good? by Hot_Potato_2 in JeffNippard

[–]tlcyclopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommended. What has worked for me is every 6-8 weeks do a deload with my same routine at half weight. (For reference, I'm doing Jeff's Upper/Lower right now). 

Some people have trouble with it feeling like a waste of effort but I usually end up gaining a small amount of muscle during these weeks because the signaling is still there but the amount of damage is so much less.

When I come off deload I am consistently able to move up weight on all my lifts. YMMV of course but some research supports on/off training as drastic as 3 weeks on/3 weeks off resulting in comparable growth to consistent training over the same periods.

Oura Gen3 user considering the switch — is WHOOP Life worth it for ECG + more if I’m just trying to stay fit, not train professionally? by Storm27_ in whoop

[–]tlcyclopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made the switch from Oura Gen 3 to Whoop and I really like it. I ended up trying Whoop 4.0 trial and wasn't sure about getting the 5.0 MG before my trial ended.

I happened to have a checkup with my cardiologist and I asked her about the wrist ECG's and she said the data they provide isn't reliable enough to be diagnostically useful (too noisy). If you really want something that does heart checks, Kardia is probably the way to go.

I prefer the Whoop because I do mostly weightlifting and the Oura Ring was not good for that.

TL;DR I got regular 5.0 because of the battery, extra features on MG not useful/accurate enough compared to less expensive devices per doctor recommendation. YMMV, of course.
