My suggestion is for you both to test your vitamin D serum levels in your blood (25(OH)D). There's a chance you are deficient (below 30 ng or 75 nmol), which reduces the chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy. Vitamin D appears to play a crucial role in all stages, so it's best to get those levels up (above 50-60 ng - 125-150 nmol). Here is an overview for more information Synergistic cofactors (Magnesium is always recommended), such as Zinc and Omega-3 also seem to play a crucial role in conception and ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Zinc supplementation however seems to reduce copper, which can hinder the physiological development of the fetus (pregnancy increases the need for it), so either get a complex or take them separately. You can also get these from dietary sources, but it is getting increasingly harder due to soil depletion and food-processing. You can not get sufficient vitamin D from food however, supplementation in combination with UVB (Sun) exposure is always best. This covers just supplementation (which may solve it by itself), but other factors are just as needed (especially for a healthy pregnancy). A calm environment with minimal stress, adequate sleep. Furthermore the conviction that you both want a child, and from each other.

This comment of yours and the responses prompted me to do some research around brain power, neuroplasticity and got to BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). Turns out you can drastically improve neuroplasticity even in later ages, and prevent or even partially reverse most forms of cognitive decline. Checking these seem to create a foundation for the mind to become resilient against setbacks, as well as be open to new challenges and experiences. The earlier, the better Supplements & compounds (VitD and cofactors like Magnesium, Omega 3, Zinc, Quercetin, Resveratrol etc.), lifestyle changes (sleep, exercise, socialization), interventions (light therapies, acupuncture, psychotherapies), psychedelics, diet (Mediterranean, Keto, or just naturally what your body feels best on). New experiences, traveling, hobbies - self-actualization in a sense. Different folks are at a different reaching distance from these due to environmental, cultural, emotional circumstances, genetics, ego-development etc. However I believe most people are the closest to supplements that can eventually help open their world to the rest of the methods naturally or artifically. In my case they opened me up to live through some Orange qualities - increased desire for autonomy, skepticism, boundary-setting, achieving, intellectual curiosity, fulfilling my needs without others' approval etc. - that I have been neglecting or even subconsciously shaming. My brain is in top-performance it has been since my teens, and life just keeps getting better. Naturally not everyone will reach Yellow in their lifetimes, however not everyone needs to. People can live a fulfilling life without it. They can fulfill their needs while also building connections and trying to decrease the hurt they inflict on others. A healthy, achieving orange that integrated the tamed the beast of red, embraced the morality of blue and is open to the empathy of green - maybe even touching into Yellow thanks to self-actualization this process can propell them to. Let's not forget Purple where our intimate connection to others and the world seems to be derived from. Our tribalistic, animistic nature that appreciates the sacredness of everything around us - and where our evolutionary development seems to be at. Even this is idealistic, but oh well. Yellow will rise to inflict changes in the workings of the world that create a more fertile soil for change as well as cooperation. Granted most folks will not even realize the existence of Spiral Dynamics or even developmental psychology. But hey, life and the internet is always full of surprises.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE There are actually two types of vitamin D. The first that was discovered is D2 (ergocalciferol), derived from plants/fungi. Later D3 (cholecalciferol) was discovered, which is animal sourced (or synthetized in human skin through UVB exposure) and more suitable for human and animal consumption. Research heavily favors D3, being much more effective compared to D2 (which sometimes is even counter-effective at correcting vitamin D deficiency). Yet, medical practice and doctors still majorly tend to prescribe D2. Here is an overview on VitaminDWiki Summarization by Perplexity The website "Overview Vitamin D3 not D2" on VitaminDWiki emphasizes the superiority of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) over vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) for supplementation and health benefits. Key points include: Vitamin D3 is more effective than D2: Studies consistently show that vitamin D3 raises and maintains blood serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D more effectively than D2. In contrast, vitamin D2 can lower serum levels of D3 and may even worsen certain health outcomes. Health risks associated with vitamin D2: Supplementation with D2 has been linked to increased risks of falls, muscle damage, and worsened conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS). It has also been associated with increased mortality risk compared to the mortality reduction observed with D3. D2's limited utility: Despite its historical use as the first discovered form of vitamin D, D2 is now considered less suitable for human and animal supplementation. Many healthcare professionals still prescribe it due to outdated practices, although research strongly favors D3. Vegan alternatives for D3: While some individuals choose D2 because it is vegan, there are now vegan sources of D3 derived from lichen. Food fortification and supplementation: Some fortified foods and multivitamins still use small amounts of D2, but these are often negligible in impact. Long-term supplementation studies favor daily or loading doses of D3 for maintaining optimal vitamin D levels. The page includes numerous studies, graphs, and meta-analyses supporting these claims, highlighting that vitamin D3 is the preferred choice for supplementation across various contexts.

Hey all! I've been experimenting with supplements for a while, with D3 becoming the most promising in my experience. I've been taking 5000 IU at first, then switched up to 10000 IU for months and these days (as there is a serious flu floating around, everyone around me is getting sick) doubled up to 20k. I will measure my blood levels this month or so. I've been taking K2 and Magnesium along with it, because first it uses the magnesium storages (especially at such higher doses) and K2 helps to avoid calcification by directing it to the bones & teeth. Ever since I've gone up to 20k things have been truly transforming. My anxiety is largely gone, I feel great and at place in my body. I stand up for what I think is right or express if my boundaries are crossed. I can finally give myself what I need and no longer need to solely rely on people for this, such a peaceful feeling. As if I finally know what it truly feels to be a man. I'm not saying it is the sole factor causing this as I've been working on myself for years, but it definitely contributed. I also dream almost daily which I gather as effective subconscious processing, helps a lot with therapy too. It happened like once a month or less frequently in the past. Kinda diminishes my sleep quality over time, but I accept it for what it is. Bonus effect: I've had a (potentially) Vitiligo spot growing on my shin since 2023 summer, slowly and steadily up to 10cm2 area or so. I've checked it 1-2 weeks ago and it seems to be shrinking, and these days it is almost if not entirely gone. I didn't document its' progress nor visited a doctor with it (since I took it as incurable), but things may be different. I also found a corresponding, seemingly legitimate study that examines this for Vitiligo and psoriasis - STUDY I also got out of the flu in one night (at least that's what I thought I recovered from, feeling low on energy and heat the afternoon before), while others take off days or even weeks with fever, cold symptoms etc. My local medical guidelines states that it is safe to take up to 4k IU a day, which I can't help but see it as underwhelming. It is the bare minimum to be able to function, but far from thriving. Furthermore, 30 ng/mL seems to be okay and 50ng/mL and above there is a risk of toxicity. I wonder about that, seems rather low. I'm also not sure if vitamin D presence in blood by itself can generate symptoms of toxicity, or is it the potential of hypercalcemia that can happen especially at higher doses? In my opinion the pharmaceutical industry seems to be doing everything they can (besides outright banning it) to downplay the potential it has. Understandably there are cases like gut issues, genetic factors etc. when taking vitamin D seems to cause issues, but I believe once (most of) these things are taken care of and the body can accept vitamin D artificially healing can begin. If capsules are not the answer, drops can be a suitable alternative, plenty of sunlight of course. IV if nothing else works. Here is a resourceful website with thousands of articles, references, studies and some anecdotal evidence - VitaminDWiki , furthemore a book many people found incredibly helpful. I'll be buying it too, soon. P.S#1: I'm not advocating vitamin D to be a savior, but at sufficient levels it can definitely help your body battle a myriad of diseases or issues. Things like skin-related diseases, autoimmune-diseases, cancer, depression, anxiety - it just seems to revitalize the body and helps it utilize its' resources properly- I'm not an expert just reading these stuff and experimenting with my body, with great results. Hope you can find some improvement in it, too! Looking for some professional input, as well. I'm also supplementing with Zinc, C, B-Complex, Copper-Complex etc., aside from the aforementioned minerals. I didn't do drastic changes in my lifestyle (I hydrate myself enough, eat semi-healthily, try to sleep enough and that's it) yet, wonder what will change once I do.

Adequate (higher than adequate when it comes to conservative views - 70+ ng/mL) levels of vitamin D appears to induce or maintain beneficial structural changes in the eye. Preventing, improving or even treating certain conditions. For example dry eyes, glaucoma, myopia, possibly age-related macular degeneration etc. - Study overview can be found here Other studies and related overviews in vision category can be found on the website - here P.S: It drastically improved my eyesight as well. Did not clear up my astigmia (cylinder - visual focal point issues), but feels as if my eyesight is as good as it used to be a few years ago. However it's not permanent, seems to be fluctuating - due to my fluctuating vitamin D levels in my speculation.

Here is an overview examining the potential of the incredible immunomudolatory potential of vitamin D - preventing and/or fighting influenza, respiratory infections, enveloped viruses (Hepatitis, Corona, Ebola, pox, bird flu etc.). I haven't been sick since I've been supplementing with vitamin D (at least since my dose was at least 10,000 IU/day - different people react differently to xyz doses). Even a flu that was not really advertised in my country, that made almost everyone around me sick for days or weeks - washed it off overnight. Now as my levels are close to optimal, whatever flu I seem to encounter (my immune system turns up - feeling heat and/or lower energy), I feel a little low for a few hours then everything goes back to normal. This is without drastic lifestyle changes such as healthy diet (my diet has almost always been moderately healthy - need to cut down on sugar) or exercise (I'm still slightly overweight). I'm also smoking, and it seems it is also fighting off the damage I've caused on my lungs (still, need to cut it out once and for all).

@Judy2 You don't need to set unrealistically metaphysical goals for meditation right away, different people use it for different reasons. Focus, clarity, calmness, reduction of background noise (overthinking), general well-being - granted that doesn't fully utilize the potential of meditation due to shorter sessions in comparison - but who cares? As long as it is helping you, and the regularity and discipline you can form will help you either way. Furthermore no need to punish yourself for your mind derailing from time to time, it is natural. The mind doesn't like to stay in one place for long, you need to train it up. Meditation is like training a muscle, although progression is not as linear. Either way, the more you do it the less derailing you will experience. I've begun with guided meditations long ago (The Honest Guys youtube channel - for anyone who remembers from 2015-ish), they were great! Later on I experimented with different techniques, but what worked best for me is expanding my focus to whatever bodily sensations I have during the session. It's a little hard to explain, but it's like focusing on your field of awareness all at once - might be a little too much as a beginner. Try to focus on your breath, the sensations of the air flowing in and out of your nose - or just an imaginary point. Good luck!

@BlueOak Thank you for sharing your experience! I can attest to the ego-reframing experience (spiritual bypassing as a teenager, lots of meditation - had a so-called satori experience), which led me through a journey of spiritual ego initially and then rediscovering myself as a human and what it means to me. Even though my ego reformed, there is at least one almost impercivable crack in the whole structure - which is shined upon whenever I come near infinity. Instead of total denial, I panic while fear washes over my whole being. Guess it is still better this way, because you could think of this experience that had a lasting impact, forming a crack where divine light shines through. Whatever seed is put in there, the constant source of light helps it grow - a spiritual photosynthesis so to speak. I also like your description of whole and different parts of ourselves experiencing infinity differently, reminds me of holism and IFS.

What I think needs to be mentioned here is that Spiral Dynamics is but a model, a western one at that. Is it useful? Hell yeah! Does it apply equally to the development of all human beings/societies on this planet? I don't think so. To me it appears to mirror Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which I think works in tandem with the integration and transition between the stages up to Yellow (perhaps Turqoise). The previous discussion about community, networking, career being a necessity to develop into Tier 2 reflects that as well. Strictly adhering to the models, it is a necessity and in most cases I think it actually is. However a yogi meditating in a cave for decades may tap into Coral (acknowledged by Beck, hinted at by Wilber) or beyond, without going through these stages since the environment drastically differs from one SD usually considers. Would it be the same as someone who went through these stages and integrated them? I don't think so, but the manifestation may be similar - at least on an individual level. For a long time I considered that kind of action a selfish escape, but nowadays I've been thinking if there is a potential effect of their manifestation of consciousness on the collective as a whole. I also think that progression when you consider this model is messy, not linear at all. It got incredibly messy since the globalization and the internet. It's more like those vertical soundwave visualizers you see on music players like WinAmp, seemingly randomly manifesting (even though there is a delicate balance within the chaos), but there's a hint of progression (like increasing the potenciometer of Preamp gradually over the years). A quote from Clare Graves (The father of SD) - "The psychology of the mature human being is an unfolding, emergent, oscillating, spiraling process marked by progressive subordination of older, lower-order behavior systems to newer, higher-order systems" "The map is not the territory" - Leo, 2020?

From my perspective the body appears to be an interface of consciousness. A thriving body resonates well with consciousness and can allow it to expand within, while a polluted body clouds the mind and leaves little room for expansion. Judging by how some yogis for example, stay healthy and energetic well into the 100s. This does not mean that a thriving body expands consciousness by itself (although I'm sure it can happen, but usually an intent and focus needs to be there), nor that people with severe addictions or health issues can not (Alan Watts is a good example, Eckhart Tolle is another - I'm sure there are other outliers - Hey Leo!). Genetics definitely play a big factor too.

The /r/vitaminD subreddit has been undergoing fundamental changes, and the new moderator u/vitaminDJesus (hah) came up with a comprehensive guide & FAQ when it comes to vitamin D supplementation. You can find it here Unfortunately it lacks scientific references or studies (which has been proposed as a criticism, supposedly will be done later), but is a great base-line for people starting out with D3 supplementation.

Magnesium is 100% a factor, as shown above in the website I referenced. K2 is recommended especially at higher levels levels / doses. There are videos and posts around the internet (Dr. Michael Holick, Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Berg etc.), but this is currently a niche part of medicine. I only found about it a few months ago, despite researching ways to improve my health for years. It is not part of mainstream culture, because drastically improving your health and well-being with over-the-counter supplements (and lifestyle changes) does not profit big pharma, nor does it grant you frequent visits at the doctor.

The case with Tellogen Effluvium is very interesting! here is the case study I found (the study you read is most likely cited here too, 200K IU twice a month treating it). Glad to hear it is working for you too! When it comes to acquiring Vitamin D from the sun, there are numerous factors involved in how much vitamin D you produce from sunlight. Skin color (darker skin produces less in comparison, ancient northern migration potentially induced pigment devolvation to increase vitamin D production) Altitude (near the equator is ideal) time of day (depending on where you live, mostly between 10 AM - 2-3 PM, best when your shadow is shorter than you) time of year (depending on where you live, 2-3 months up to 5-6 months near the summer - angle of incidence of the sun) Age (aging increases skin thickness, reducing vitamin D production) Sunscreen decreases absorbtion by 95-99% It does not work through glass Some other factors Here are some suggestions to optimize vitamin D production from the sun I believe it is reasonable to consider people who spend the most of the time in the sun when it comes to determining optimal vitamin D levels. People natively living in equatorial Africa, or lifeguards for example. Some lifeguards are reported to have levels of 100-125 ng/ml, without toxicity. Perhaps those levels are closer to the optimum range than 30-50 which is usually recommended. Definitely below toxicity, if even vitamin D can be toxic by itself (and not just such levels negatively influencing other factors such as calcium or potassium). I wouldn't go above 150 unless medically supervised though, for example for autoimmune diseases or cancer.

Well, rather it is advised. I would recommend Magnesium altogether as it is depleted by D3, while there are other cofactors that help improve your D3 utilization and/or reduce risk-factors such as hypercalcemia (K2, especially at higher D3 doses - might not be needed on a low calcium diet). It is increasingly harder to acquire these from diet alone, as the soil in general is being depleted by abusive agricultural practices for the last ~100 years.

Transgender is associated with autism, low vitamin D, low BMD (Bone-Mineral Density) etc. - studies overview Can be a rather simplistic take, but my experience overlaps. No sense of gender confusion that I recall, but I feel much more comfortable in my skin as a man than ever, once I started to optimize my D levels.

He's saying that these symptoms force him to stop taking D3 (they can be temporary, I hope it sorts out sooner or later), even though taking it is important (which I agree with).

I'm just a guy who researches online and experiments on himself, so take my words with a grain of salt. Do you take Magnesium? It is essential for vitamin D. That's what I would think of when it comes to diarrhea, when it is too much. Alternatively your body is sensitive to that specific form (Glycinate appears to be ideal for most, works for me too). When you eat a lot of it from diet, less of it is needed. I've had a span of 1-2 weeks with irregular bowel movements when it comes supplementing with D3, (did not happen until I approached 20K/IU, you may react better to D3 in general) but it sorted itself out over time. Perhaps vitamin D was improving my immune system to sort out the gut-bacteria that does not belong in my gut, while enriching the healthy ones. A transition was needed. I'm not an overly healthy eater, by the way. Prolonged vitamin D deficiency maybe can cause the body down-regulate certain bodily processes to maintain energetic equilibrium, prioritizing those that are essential for survival over those that are not. When the system has enough energy to reboot those processes, it can be painful at first. Here's a study and some research to look into the relationship between vitamin D and gut health, and correspondingly acid reflux. Keep experimenting, take things slower or sporadically and see what happens. You can also take a look at this comprehensive website for more information

@Emerald Thank you so much for sharing this! I saved this post, for later down the line when I regain the desire to get back into dating. Even as a man, this is very insightful to be able to appreciate a healthy female perspective when it comes to dating.

Oh yeah, that's definitely true! He did not try to fix her though that much, rather the relationship instead. Either way it was doomed from the start unfortunately.

Strength and sobriety to you!

Hey man, thank you for sharing this! I have a friend who just got broken up over a similar relationship, an incredible level of intimacy. She was vulnerable and intimate from the start, but turns out she is dealing with very bad anxiety. My friend fell for her immediately and is now swimming in grief, after he tried to fix it a few times. There's a certain pattern to the type of girls you attract, and that is true to my friend and myself as well. Neither of us are attracting girls that are content and have a healthy self-esteem, because neither of us are there. There's a lot of shit to work through, which doesn't seem to be sorted by meditation (tried), can't say much about 5-MeO. I went to a few retreats like Ayahuasca and Psylocibin, but they don't solve these things by themselves, unless I guess you are for some reason close to such a breakthrough. In my case I tried years of therapy and inner work (on-and-off), and now optimizing my health which seems to be the biggest influence in terms of how I view myself relationships. You can try to dwell into Attachment Theory, a useful resource - YouTube EDIT - Additional thoughts: I realized there's a drastic difference in my relationship to people and love based on how content I am in the moment. When I feel content and not looking for love outside, things feel like a breeze in comparison. Maybe you need to cultivate some Self-Love (along with Shadow Work, the dark side is just as important), from which you will not only find it easier to detach from depending on a relationship to love - but getting closer to love as well. It's also easier to love if you have love to give.

Hey, I appreciate your stance on the effects of porn on the brain. Seems to affect the brain in a similar fashion as drug addictions. Makes me rethink my relationship with it, even after all this time. There's definitely a huge issue with porn, both on an individual level and the collective. I've just tried to think about benefits, but even after asking DeepSeek I hardly find any convincing arguments for it. NoPorn seems to be a healthy alternative for most. I'm conflicted on the NoFap thing. I've been at both ends, and nofap sometimes brought me more issues than benefits. I understand that was due to how the energy was stuck since I did not do anything else to improve my life at a time. However I don't think sexual energy transmutation is a viable alternative for anyone at any point in their life. There's a big chance it leads to improvement over time, but there's a threshold beyond which it can cause more harm. That's why even the NoFap Forums recommend a comfortable frequency even after the standard 90 day reboot, like 2-4 weeks or 1-3 months. The frequency is individual, however I'd argue that even 90 days is not enough for most people. Especially for those who take NoFap as the only thing that they change about their lives. Regarding the prostate cancer thing, I'd be curious to know what was the counter-effect for people over 50. The suggested theory is interesting, but I think there's more to it. The frequency of masturbation can be a marker of someone's well-being, the more you are inclined to do it the less content you are with your life. Seeking pleasure elsewhere. These studies are unfortunately overly simplistic, do not incorporate a healthy quantity of factors and perspectives that could lead to cancer. I know it's hard to make a randomized controlled trial with not only physical health but also developmental psychology involved. Therefore here's an overview about more materialistic factors - Overview Prostate Cancer and Vitamin D

I've been on both sides of this debate, periods of me justifying my porn addiction (99% to myself) as well as periods of me justifying nofap to myself and others. Porn addiction was an outlet for me, a temporary comfort from my suffering related to my subpar family environment and corresponding trauma and depression. Resistance, lack of awareness and corresponding acceptance. I don't know where I would be if I would have been exposed to porn later in my life (or not at all), but I believe most likely I would be in a better place. I most likely would have had more moments earlier where I would have had to face hard-truths about the life I lead growing up. I most likely would have had more motivation to socialize and seek female companionship. There's a certain clarity of mind I did get (and still do) on longer streaks without PMO. There is a possibility that I would have been suicidal, but thankfully I will never know. NoFap was basically the same for me, on the other side of the coin. A self-induced escape from the addiction, trying out various micro-managing methods to be free from it once and for all. Naturally, I did punish and guilt-trip myself whenever I failed (leading to binges), especially during the earlier phases. It was progression however, since I did develop mentally and physically (indirectly mainly) during those years. A breakthrough that led me to distance myself from porn for a year or so, and 3+ months from fapping. The best I ever felt, however I did change little else when it comes to the circumstances I live in so it was superficial. Altogether though, I grew a lot and even landed a girlfriend, along with some spicy adventures with women. This was followed with a phase of experimentation, what streaks are most comfortable for me. It was good, but apparently I was still missing pieces. It did not cure my depression, just weakened it. I could feel the effects of PMO, just paid much less attention to it. There still was emotional turmoil attached to it. I even visited a tantric healer who taught me some practices, and tried semen-retention which worked surprisingly well. The transmutation of my sexual energy worked for me, but not as a life-time practice. Here I am, around 10 years later after trying NoFap for the first time. I'm at a much better place, rather content and comfortable in my skin - not lonely and anxious when it comes to relationships (or lack thereof). I can only thank the period of NoFap I had in my life. Nowadays I indulge myself in PMO, mostly out of boredom, but the effect is miniscule in comparison (on the mental level - while on the physical level I still notice it - but they are interconnected so it is hard to tell). Ever since I started to optimize my vitamin D levels (and corresponding cofactors), I often feel just as great as I did on month+ long streaks of nofap. I don't know if there is a direct relationship, but it will be worth investigating later on. Thank you for reading up to this part, to be continued.

Porn addiction is real, people unfortunately are exposed to porn thanks to the internet even below age 10. This is a hindrance to their sexual development - distorted perception of the opposite sex and their sexuality, 24/7 availability of sex, objectification, PIED etc. It is also used as a clutch to temporarily supress emotional pain, even boredom. I'd say it is best to quit porn altogether. When it comes to NoFap and the whole movement, despite the humble and mature origins, is completely derailed by now. Teenagers are completely repressing their sexuality instead of embracing it, questioning themselves whether sex (even with a loved one) is allowed, and asking each other how long does it take to get out of it. Furthermore the majority attaches shame and guilt to each relapse, instead of celebrating their progression. Another issue I see with the movement (at least the subreddit, I don't check the forums that much) is that NoFap has been molded into a single cure for people's anxiety, motivational issues and life problems. The thing is changing this one piece in your life will not often yield great results, at best it can be used as a fuel to change one's life. The more you try to go against it, the steeper the hill you are climbing. Real progress happens when you take other steps to improve your life and you have less and less thoughts on it. Even further once you stop punishing yourself for indulging it, when you can embrace and accept this part of your sexuality. I've been on NoFap for quite a lot of years in my life, with varying success. Numerous streaks between weeks and sometimes months (it did make a difference), and there was one breakthrough moment. I felt thoroughly disgusted by it in my body, and made me able to go for prolonged periods of time without even giving it a thought. I felt as if my addiction was cured, but nah the story did not end there. I see the value in building up your sexual energy (I don't think not ejaculating increases the risk of prostate cancer, sounds like a cherry-picked study funded by the porn industry - your body gets rid of the excess either way through wet dreams), but the thing is if it gets stuck without direction it is going to cause more harm than benefit. Anger, irritability, insomnia etc. There's a thing called transmutation (not just in tantric circles) when you use the built up sexual energy to fuel something greater, something purposeful. Can be personal and spiritual development, art, life purpose, building a company, physical fitness etc. NoFap does and should not require to abstain forever (that's Semen Retention, which I tried with varying results - currently does not feel right for me.), people have different sex drives. Some people feel best on a weekly basis, some bi-weekly, monthly, the frequency differs individually. Awareness is key here, why you are doing it and how do you feel about it. There's a robust research behind POIS (Post-Orgasm Induced Syndrome), forum can be found here. Currently I'm also on a weekly basis, but since I started to optimize my biomarkers I feel just as great as I did on longer streaks, furthermore the shame is also gone by now. Embrace your sexuality, it is not a sin. P.S: I got banned from the NoFap subreddit for posting a link of the free e-book *The Easy Peasy Method*, which provides a drastically different approach to porn addiction. Oh, the irony.

I have no doubt that there is potential in resonance, vibration and energy fields when it comes to well-being. When you are in an environment that feels comfortable to your body and soul, the nervous system can calm down from the usual fight & flight mode. This opens up capacities for trance-induced introspection, and even healing. The room appears to mimic some sort of meditative space, which I suspect is similar to the rooms in Vipassana retreats or ashrams. I'm sure meditation, especially long-term and hardcore types changes your brain frequency over time, and that can expand outwards to possibly leave a temporary imprint on spaces you do it in. Can potentially shield you away from the artificial and harmful frequencies of technology the cities are built upon. However, biophotonic light therapy? C'mon. Seems like a sophisticated woo-woo term, like isn't that what the Sun can provide you? I admit I haven't thoroughly checked the scientific background of the research behind this system, but I'm almost sure it is a scam for this price (or a tool for the rich to get richer) The closest quick biohack I found that improves people's well-being and healing is Vitamin D (and synergistic cofactors). Unless you are extremely sensitive to it (and are deficient like most who are not taking it), taking 10K+ IU once will provide you a heightened sense of well-being that can last for hours/days. Supplementing systematically over time, optimizing your levels can result in maintained well-being for your body and mind (throughout your life). Not mentioning the optimized immunity that reduces sickness, increased recovery rates, drastic reduction of risk for cancer, age-related issues like skeletal issues or dementia/AZD. Heck, even curing autoimmune diseases and cancer is not out of the picture with it. Best part is that you can supplement for a year+ (including cofactors) on the price 20 sessions cost you with this EES.
