You say you want to lear in DETAILED way yet have no time to study which is already setting up a big boundary. Depending on how deep you want to go it is helpful to understand the physiology first by obtaining a decent book of human anatomy. No need to learn every single muscle and bone just understand the differant organ systems and what they do, what enzymes they secrete etc. it may also useful to understand common disease associated with those systems and understand the mechanisms of these pathologies. But if you don't want to work with people then this can probably be skipped. To understand nutrition, you also need to understand some biochemistry as that is basically what eating healthy comes down to. Enzymatic reactions and breaking down food matter into simples forms of glucose, fatty acids and amino acids. Learning about what all the micro and micronutrients do, how they break down and affect our biochemistry is the fundamental part of nutrition yet details don't need to be learned if your goal is to "be healthy and eat healthy". PUBMED is the most legit source of medical studies however I'd not recommend that to be your starting point as the sheer amount and complexity of research papers will easily discourage you. rather start with basic books and if something is not clear enough, find a research paper to learn about deeper mechanisms. Hope that helps.

lots of tips discussed here

@Espaim in my recent studies of medicinal mushrooms I've been looking a lot on research for Cordyceps (Cordyceps Sinensis). There is a lot of evidence for its antidepressant, libido boosting and fatigue reducing effects. I'me never a fan of miracle herbs or one-thing-to-cure-it-all approach but seems that this, taken alongside other things you already do, could help a bit. Maybe look into the research and see if that's something worth trying?

I agree with that assumption. A bad diet will take decades to kill you, and most likely it will make your years from 50+ really miserable. Lack of exericse will shorten your life and make you prone to some disease but again will not kill you especially while you are young. Sleep, on the other hand is a different story. A chronic undersleeping (geting 7 hours and less) reduces your immune surveilence and disrupts your endocrine system. Deprive yourself of sleep for 48 hours and your cognitive abilities will match those of a drunken man. There is greater tendency to overeat, to lie, to manipulate and to lash out on people. Your reasoning, empathy and emotional inteligence go down the toilet even after 1 day of bad sleep. Even sleeping during day and working nights increases your chances of cancer dramatically, make you more prone to obesity and stress-related issues. Your cortisol is chronically elevated which unsufficient sleep which leads to A LOT of problems down the road A lot of disease we see today is related to chronic sleep deprivation.

Theanine is powerful for people experiencing sudden onset of depressions or mania or who are excessive stimulated. But taken just to be more "chilled" for a balanced person may indeed result in what you decribe. You may have also overdosed. How many mg did you take? A good starting dose is 50mg.

The current evidence on soy in forms of edamame, tofu, nato and miso is positive. It shows reduction in breast cancer, increase in bone density, reduction in PMS and overally improved quality of life. They are very good alternative for postemenopausal women who don't want to go for HRT. This is because soy isoflavonoids are weak stimulants of oestrogen receptors and the stronger oestrogens cannot "dock in" while these are present. On the other hand, a soy concentrate (such as soy protein powder) will contain a massive amounts of these which is when a good things starts turning to not-so-good. So this is just personal opinion based on few papers I read on isoflavonoids but you are better of with a hemp / pea protein. All soy products are still cool but soy concentrates are not good imo. Also alwayas make sure all soy products you consume are organic

I had a panic attack couple months ago that haunted me for few days, for me it was triggered by a period of high stress with my studies that ended. Can definitely understand the feelings of impending doom and feeling like you are about to die. It is hard to say what triggers them, but usually it is about your mind perceiving something that is not a threat yet it seeses it so so it activates a fight or flight response however the reaction is to a wrong stimulus that is not harmful. So we try to fight it back and tell our mind that this is wrong which creates even more anxiety, bit of a viscous circle. Once I realised this and that it is under my control, it started wearing of. In your case, it is possible it had something to do with simply being at that place (loud events with lot of flickering light present a tremendous amount of stress to your body even if you enjoy them on the outside). Could have also been related to a spiritual breakthrough, its possible. What helped me the most were sessions of extremely slow deep breathing. Into the belly. 8 seconds in, 12 seconds out. This helps your nervous system to calm down and signals your mind that it is safe.

I'd say it is best to start with bodyweight. Learn the proper technique of pushup, squad, pullup. Have your joints and muscles adapt to the initial stressor. Practice things like handstands against the wall to get a bit of balance training and get those shoulders accustomed to pressure. After couple week of this start with weights and some machines. But like I said, good to start with a trainer and have them create a system for each bodypart. I think dumbells should come before you start lifting barbels that require interconnection of big muscles and some lifting experience. Before you start deadlifting, get comfortable with feeling through your lateral muscles and being able to pull and squeeze them with the hanging bar on the machine. Same as before benchpress, learn to do proper pushups and dumbell presses on a horizontal and inclined bench.

Because instead of being called "assholes who don't give shit about others" these people need help themselves first. It is a nature of human being to want to help each other. For everybody that means something different and the means by which they do it can be radically different yet the motive is the same. The ability to help is directly proportional to the amount of love and education the person has recieved in their life. A lot of people, however don't have the basic stuff under control. Poverty, lack of education, disease, bad marriage, bad parenting, childhood abuse, addiction due to lack of fulfillment. In order for one to grow to a stage where they can become loving and sharing they need to have the basic shit covered. Because that's the way they have been brought up. They cannot delay immediate gratification. It is often not their fault and they need your help to get away from that kind of thinking. Another demonstration of unconsciousness. Such behaviour is to be pittied not frowned upon. This person is causing themselves so much suffering it is sick.

Lion's Mane is a POWERFUL mycotherapeutic tool. Medicinal mushrooms are superior to many herbs but none of them is able to induce neuroregeneration in a way that Lion's Mane can. I don't know of any other product that has been shown to benefit in reversing Multiple Sclerosis or degeneration of central nervous system such as ALS. With more research there is potential for LM to lift people from wheelchairs and even rapidly slow down Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. I think we will hear more about this amazing mushroom in years to come. The only dowside is probably that the therapeutic dose will need to be so huge that it will probably cause digestive disturbances...so that's something that will need to be looked into.

Corn is better than bacon or chips but there are other, much healthier foods out there. Corn is basically a lot of starch with a little fibre and some minimal nutrients. Also chemical treatment that @pluto mentioned is a huge issue. You can only fill so much food into your daily caloric bank so replacing corn with healthier alternatives is not a bad idea.

Try an experiment. Go heavy on coffee every single day of a month and then quit for a week cold turkey. The withdrawal will be your sign of the addictive nature of this drink. One can definitely weaken their adrenal glands. This can happen from chronic stress or genetically and aily stimulant abuse contributes as well. In medicine there is a condition called Adisson's disease which is basically adrenal failure but they don't just fail, they gradually weaken which comes with a set of side effects.

Complete isolation for a week?

Until the recent episode I never realized how easy it can be to drop counterproductive thoughts and habits but simply "Letting Go". Been pealing that emotional burden one thought at a time for past 2 weeks and just wanted to say Thank You @Leo Gura this episode has been a huge gamechanger!!

I'd say the opposit is likely to be issue especially during the time of the day I spend on autpilot. But it can definitely become a neurosis.

Absolutely possible! Happened the same way for me, we were friends for a long time and been dating for 9 years now. All the friend-zone bullshit on the internet makes people think that you have to bump into a random stranger and start dating. Not knowing the other person before getting into relationship is dangerous. A potential drawback is loss of a friend is if backfires but in most cases, you could still remain friends Tips?: Try talking to her friends and finding out some information on her feelings towards you (without asking directly :D) She may feel the same way about you but may be too shy to admit her feelings or is worried of losing friend. Spend a lot of time together, hang out as "friends" and you will start growing onto each other. At some point you will need to break the ice though. If you never try you will regret and worst case if she says "no" you will shake hands and promise to stay only friends.

add some headstands to the ashwagandha to dive more circulation into that foggy head of yours

@Espaim adrenal health seems ok then. Have you ever tried tracking your food intake? You may be lacking protein which is precursor for all neurotransmitters (serotonin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine etc...) the ones that would stimulate you. There are some protein sources you mentioned but perhaps if put together they don't score as high as you'd think. Or you may generally be lacking calories. That is a very common problem on vegetarian/vegan diets. Ever tried using cronometer or myfitnesspal and see if you hit your caloric requirement? Both are free and it may help to give a picture of if anything is missing. btw I'd agree with @flowboy that a soy protein is not a good choice. Soy as a food (edamame bean or tofu) is ok, the estrogenic effects are tiny but a soy concentrated protein is a different story. I'd probably go for pea of hemp.

Seems like your adrenals might be struggling. Do you know your blood pressure? Do you often get cold extremities? Do you struggle with any stubborn inflammation? Feeling of inferiority / shyness? Hard time waking up? Restless leg syndrom or nervousness? frequent shortness of breath? struggling with energy during day?

Game & research are techniques used purely for manipulation. Anything coming from PUA community will keep you stuck in shallow levels of consciousness that only the dumbest girls will fall for. It may give you some sex but the more you get the more unhappy you will become and each and every shallow one night stand will "steal" a little bit of your vigour and deprive you of a bit of your life force & potency to grow spiritually. Envision abundance and learn to see women for who they really are, the divine being charged with infinite radiance and energy. A beautiful woman will re-charge you for a whole day. Let that energy circulate around your spine (instead of keeping it in your genitals like most men do). Learn to accept the infinite energy and you will feel like you've just had sex each time you let yourself be energetically seduced by a beautiful woman. To receive sexual abundance, stop seeking sexual abundance and you will attract it. Find your life purpose and grow your spiritual & personal side of yourself to attract the feminine. Women want a men embodying his highest values and his highest purpose not a boy running around looking for sex. You have the advantage of youth and (I assume) relative sexual immaturity. Use it towards your benefits and if you play your cards right, you will outgrow most of your peers by 20 years in next 10. Not an answer you were looking for perhaps

that doesn't change the fact that excessive BPA indulgence fucks up with your endocrine secretions by docking on Oestrogen receptors most of all. Agreed Bisphenol-A is only one of a large category of contaminants.

@Charlotte Cheers Charlotte! Hope you are keeping well!
