hey man, as someone who has gone through 5 years of muay-thai training I can tell you that these sessions are very safe and I have never been injured besides few bruises from kicks on legs. There are always idiots and fucktards but you can refuse to spar with them. These sports are beautiful if done from the place of genuine curiosity and of wanting to challenge yourself, learn discipline and learn to move your body in new ways. They are beautiful training for your synaptic connections between your cerebellum & prefrontal cortex. You don't have to spar if don't want to and everybody has to wear mouthguard, shinguard, gloves & bandages. Even at sparring, most people are fairly gentle and rational as long as you don't go 100% If you don't want to spar you can always just sign up for conditioning & power workouts. These are absolutely insane but you will build yourself up to ridiculous stamina and resilience. MMA is slightly different thou and you have a lot of stage-red people interested in these. It can be very brutal and ruthless and if you are looking for something more sensible, kickboxing is probably the best way or muay Thai if you don't mind a bit more aggressivity, knees & elbows. EDIT: in times of corona though, many of these may be off limits but do check with local clubs

Most Britta filters are pretty decent and get rid of heavy metals, pesticides & limescale. Aqua Optima is good as well. If you cannot afford reverse osmosis, get one of the filtration jugs, it is worth every penny. Neither of them may remove fluoride thou so if you are in States, the RO or Distiller would be better options.

Tim Shieff is a nice example of what prolonged fasting can do to you. Going from an inspiring vegan authority and an incredible athlete who competed at American ninja to a skeleton-like looking tragedy of a human being with an utterly destroyed digestive system that he tried to remedy with drinking his and his buddie's piss. His fast not only damaged and destroyed his microbiome but had a significant impact on his mental health, you can see the tragic difference when you listen to his 40 day fasting journey. It pays to be openminded and curious but be wary that there is a reason why the human body has perfected a powerful digestive system that crosses major part of our trunk and is protected by 4 layers of abdominal muscles and bones. It is not there because nature was taking piss. Nature is not stupid but humans tend to think they know better in their search of wanting to be a maverick. That being said, short bursts of 24-72 hour fasting can indeed be very beneficial and rejuvenating.

Have you had your testicles assessed properly for lumps or inflammation?

Here is your motivation

SSRIs are effective for major depressive conditions where people are borderline suicidal and at risk of harming themselves or others. For mild-to-moderate ones the evidence shows that they are not that different to placebo and side-effects are nasty. But if it is like you said that leaving a house is impossible, they may provide help while you work on the underlying issues. I think this is how they should be used, to stabilise you so that you can work on identifying a solution. If you are looking for more natural solution, St.John's Wort has probably the greatest amount of evidence and when compared to most SSRIs & TCYs for mild or moderate depression. SJW is however not effective for major depression. NOTE: You MUST NOT mix SJW (or any other antidepressant herbs) with antidepressant medications, that could create a manic state even be fatal.

The closes I have is Clean Fifteen and Dirty Dozen but this applies to US only I believe

Well based on lots of the previous topic on the forum, the brain is unfortunately where a lot of stuff gets stored including certain heavy metals that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Also you don't know anything about those animals, their feed and the way they were treated. I just can't justify the risk of brain being extremely contaminated for the benefit of getting some extra coq10 & DHA

If it was just a fling, it's probably ok. If there was emotional involvement, they probably deserve to know why you cut yourself off

Our ancestors ate whatever to survive.....whatever ancestors ate is not argument anymore, we have moved on since then.

I guess its better than nothing indeed but what I'd say we need to educate children on making healthy food choices. For example just teaching people to eat more fruits can probably save several tens of thousands of heart attacks a year. Now imagine the impact of children of 8 knowing and being accustomed to eating 8 portions of fruits & veggies a day unlike this madness here in UK.....this in my opinion is more impactful than having to memorise a date when Magna Carta was signed and stuff like that that you can now pull of google in 10 seconds. Ecological care is another one I hope will be added to schools. It might happen at some time but not anytime soon.

@John Mitchell I'd say probably not unless you suffer from a depression that is borderline suicidal or have any sort of other condition that requires that you need extra care. Moving back to parents will (in majority cases) threaten to pull you down the spiral. Parents will attempt to assume control over your life and over time, you will lose bits of your freedom. I don't mean it in a negative way but parents can be extremely controlling, Instead, I'd say it is good advice to force some socialisation, perhaps even try online dating, joining some sports clubs or board game clubs (like D&D or other), toastmasters, dancing classes etc. It is more difficult with covid but still possible.

If you need a close guidance, consider hiring a life coach. Leo's work is more on the strategic side of your life, it you need help with tactics and putting right techniques and methods in day-to-day work, you may need to pay someone to help you.

Yeah, that it usually enough if the diet isn't otherwise deficient

To me as a typical viewer, it looks like something that would have a place in a local gallery somewhere. Keep up the amazing work!

beautiful

@Applegarden it is not something taught in schools, and I think this should change. B12 is not as massive problem but it is on the rise with more ppl turning into all sorts of elimination diets (vegan, veegtarian) or just really cutting out portions of foods that they wouldn't have before without replacing them. For example it is ok to cut out meat but if you don't have a replacement of B12 you can end up with stroke or central nervous system demyelination. I am now working with someone who started having seizures and faints regularly because of this. Crazy & dangerous stuff. I fear for all vegans who go for it for the animals (grandiose goal) but don't have any idea what they are doing.

you should comment and ask if his has a Patreon that you'd like to donate

@Leo Gura in your face Cult Leader!!

it's called a Funnel and you want people like that to leak out, they are not the audience and it was not meant for them.

I think bottom dwellers are even worse. All the clamps, lobsters, shrimps and gigantic crabs that people eat has gotta be so toxic. Molecules of heavy metals and all the other sediments of human production will eventually sink to the bottom. It seems lead is heavily accumulated in these as well and so is Copper. It is doing much more damage than an occasional tuna. Definitely good idea to cut back on your screen time. Read a book, light some warm bulb lamp and you'll see how fast sleep comes @Value chug your fish oils and get a combination of flaxseed oil (or just flax seeds) & algal oil.

Helps to preserve sanity as well

Cute. Try doing consciousness work with a toxic brain.

Having a conscious life-purpose can only bring you closer not further to enlightenment. As you shed any toxic aspects of yourself and fulfil your financial and basic carnal desires only then can you climb above otherwise, you are basing the entire structure on legs made of cardboard If you are stuck in a rut of corporate job it is close to impossible to pursue enlightenment? Because you have to ask, it probably means that the answer to your question is Yes. Judging by your name I assume your LP involves holistic healing, health & nutrition which can be turned into a grandiose gaol as long as you don't create a layer of toxicity on the top of it such as selling yourself for big supplement companies and selling cookie-cutter programs and diabetic candies. Maybe you are like me that you first have to spend 20 years pursuing your LP before you are ready to move on further

Iron deficiency is a global problem same as B12 deficiency. It happens to vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. You can actually be eating beef twice a week and still be iron deficient. nope you shouldn't
