>In a study of patients who had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from childhood trauma and abuse, researchers found cortisol levels to be 60% higher than normal and 122% higher than normal when another stressor was introduced.

help

- Take 200mg magnesium post workout, and 200mg before bed



- Take ashwagandha + rhodiola every evening



- Keep carbs high as carbs help lower cortisol



- Prioritise sleep > netflix, TV, booze



-Avoid caffeine, being in a steep caloric deficit, sleeping less

to be more specific:

cut out PUFA from your diet as much as possible, cook your own food in coconut oil

make sure youre consuming carbs

take daily aspirin

take a spoonful of baking soda daily

>take a spoonful of baking soda daily

This can cause alkalosis, which is very dangerous.

A spoonful of baking soda once in a blue moon is fine. But taking everyday you will get alkalosis after a few days or weeks.

>>70745309 (OP)

Take a small dose of shrooms

There's directions on the arm and hammer box. It says how much you can take.

it's all bad tbqh 

when I actually exercised and was losing weight depression got significantly worse for some reason

>Take ashwagandha + rhodiola



ACK MY LIVER

raypeat.com

a small spoonful of baking soda daily is not going to cause alkalosis

daily aspirin, standard 325mg bayer brand or one of the ones listed here https://www.toxinless.com/aspirin

>>70745309 (OP)

Just look into MDMA or another empathogen for PTSD. That's what works best.

how does asprin help?

increases insulin sensitivity and improves blood sugar regulation which lowers cortisol

also counteracts estrogen and serotonin (chronically elevated estrogen/serotonin indirectly raises cortisol and vice versa)

aspirin also raises the metabolic rate directly which lowers cortisol, since one of the roles of cortisol is to raise the metabolic rate in an emergency (but in a highly catabolic way which is extremely harmful if its elevated chronically or too much)

thats off the top of my head

thanks!

I know but that's not really a viable option
