Thank You ! Awesome tip

Is it possible that all this melancholy has basis in your basic biochemistry going wrong? You may have some serious hormonal / neurotransmitter imbalances that take away your enthusiasm and motivation for life. Just some of the examples are low testosterone, low serotonin, low dopamine, lack of calories, lack of carbohydrates, high cortisol, slow methylation, low thyroid function, low iron, IBS, gut inflammation, dysbiosis, lacking B-vitamins, magnesium, zinc, folate...etc... Not saying this is definitely it, just a possibility. I wouldn't know where to start without speaking to you for 2 hours about the entire health history but there are functional doctors who can help you pinpoint what is going on. Perhaps you could consider setting up a call with one. But all of this may come down to completely other things such as chakras being blocked or energetic circulation stagnating, lack of purpose and vision for one's life and so on..

It is true that polyunsaturated fats (Omega 6 and Omega 3) in nut butters are beneficial but like guys already mentioned you will be getting too much Omega 6 over Omega 3. Secondly grinding nuts into butter dramatically speeds up their oxidation which creates a cocktail of free radicals that tax your antioxidant defences. Most of them time there are not synthetic antioxidants included in nut butters so there is no protection against this. And in many cases you don't know how long they've been sitting on the shelf, under direct light in transparent jars. And if you notice most peanut butters are made of roasted nut, not raw. So you are already heating up and grinding nuts that have already been highly processed, most likely roasted in cheap oils oxidised full of potential carcinogens. Not a best food imo.

Don't let the opinions of unconscious and weak minded influence you. Dare to be the one who says "fuck this " and reject the shot if it doesn't the right thing to be doing. There is the rationale of providing your body with the antigens of weakened pathogens so that is starts producing its own antibodies. I totally get this. But the fact that babies, kids of all ages and all people are getting injected without knowing anything about their genetics, intolerances, preferences, metabolic capacities and immune state frightens me. There are many many cases of severe reactions but you will mostly not hear about this. And then my main argument is that the human adaptive immunity (the T-cells and B-cells) once having created the antibodies have an immune memory that lasts several lifetimes. Why would we need to inject the same crap every year? The FLU viruses don't change every year and neither do the vaccines. This stinks of pure propaganda that earns trillions of dollars worldwide. Yet people still develop flu symptoms lol. There is a lot you can do to support your immune system with food, medicinal mushrooms and herbs, don't fall for the herd mentality but rather mock them getting ill while you the "untreated one" remains healthy

You are better of eating them in their natural state. The think with rice cake is that they are compressed under huge temperature to kinda glue the rice together. We know that when you heat carbohydrates to temperatures above 130 degrees you start producing acrylamides, suspected carcinogens and neurotoxins. Additionally, the high heat disrupts the molecular integrity making the rice even more easily digestible which spikes your blood sugar very rapidly. My second argument against rice cakes (or any grain cakes actually) is that they are what is classified as "diet food" a food that is extremely low in calories. Because of this people binge on them for hours. This means your pancreas constantly has to pump out digestive enzymes throughout the day. Your blood sugar is riding a rollercoaster so the pancreas also has to pump out insulin constantly. This puts a lot of unnecessary strain on your digestion and this is my main argument against the idea of eating many small portions per day. I'd just make nice huge buckwheat meals with vegetables, beans/ lentils, add some tofu to it and eat it in a single meal. Take in more calories in single go but then give your digestion break for couple hours. Ideally you want to spike your insulin 3-4 times a day not 20

https://metro.co.uk/2019/10/17/angry-commuters-drag-xr-protesters-off-tube-try-glue-10933003/ Extinction Rebellion has received a merciless backlash across London especially in the east. Protesting in East London where mostly low-income , Eastern european & African communities of shift workers and builders commute from, the naive Green boys did not expect the beating they received. These people have mostly zero concern for the environment, they struggle to make ends meet, have to send money overseas to their poor families, they wake up periodically at 5 am to get on their 12 hour shifts. This is how you kill the revolution.

There are always better and worse options when filling your daily caloric bucket. The above is better than having scrambled eggs but does not compare with having quinoa with salad and tofu for example. It's not about "bad" or "good" food. It's always a question of "what do we compare it to?" all great stuff

Buckwheat - exceptional food! High content of copper, magnesium and B-vitamins as well as fibre and decent protein. Millet - takes time getting used to and longer to cook but it is a decent meal. A goitrogen thou so make sure to cook it properly. Cuscus - not really. It is a processed grain, rapidly absorbed with high GI. I'd go for other types of wholegrains like brown and wild rice, quinoa or oats.

I think this is actually a person I would put on antipsychotic drugs...at least few of them. He is a potential danger to the neighbourhood and from what you say may as well be beyond help in his current state of mind. He needs help but for that to happen he needs to be grounded....may be in this case means being turned a little bit more into vegetable for some time.

This video should explain everything very clearly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qaVGR68FKY Indeed it does, thanks a lot!

@JonasVE12 thanks for tips! So do you kinda bend over your tongue backwards trying to go as far as you can back inside the throat while touching the upper hard palate?

Fascinating stuff, thanks for sharing ! I call this Day 1

Okinawan diet is not even close to what it used to be anymore boys With more macdonalds and chicken nuggets in their diet, the rate of heart disease and cancer has actually increased. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/101053950301500S03 For decades the age ratio has been declining, arteries have been clogging and people dying younger and younger. There are now far behind other, healthier prefectures. But the idea of the original Okinawan diet is absolutely brilliant, shame these places are nearly wiped out as all blue zones are declining.

the duration of the life purpose course ...which was about a month for me. But if you are asking about the practical side....well that takes years in most cases.

Medical doctors recommending adaptogens? Wow, seems like there is some progress being made in the modern medicine. I think Siberian Ginseng is the best adaptogen to start with. Get a 1:1 ratio tincture and perhaps mixed it up with some Ashwagandha later on. Good luck!

By listening to your intuition. It will protect you from all devilry and falsehood you hear from the mouths of unconscious people.

Thank them because they mean well. They lead their life to the best of their knowledge and ability and want to share some of their life experiences with you. In their eyes they did not piss it away, they did what their parents taught them and what people around them did to feel normal and accepted. Believe it or not but most people even thee days don't have a life purpose or a gran vision in their life. If most of us weren't told (such as by Leo) we wouldn't either...I definitely wouldn't have. Remember that everybody you meet has a lesson to teach you. Don't be ignorant but try to identify what is is. The burden of the younger generation is that we are arrogant and think we know best.

Your body should be producing all the steroid hormones you need. If it is not, something is wrong and you need to get yourself checked before you embark on any testosterone-boosting protocol. The risk here is that if you increase your androgens to drive up testosterone a large portion of that will go down the DHT pathway as well by activating 5-alpha-reductase . And the more DHT you have the higher your chance of developing prostate cancer, male pattern baldness and acne. Unfortunately this pathway is not regulated on negative feedback loop so you may end up overfeeding DHT. At the same time, you increase the risk of driving more of that down the Aromatase pathway as well which may stimulate the production of oestrogens essentially making you more feminine. The later is less likely to happen though. To naturally increase your testosterone production, start lifting weights and doing more physical activity. There are some herbs and medicinal mushrooms (e.g. Cordyceps, Maca, Ginseng Panax, Chlorophytum Borivilianum and other..) that can help you regulate endocrine system. Engaging more in sexual activity helps as well Please do a proper research before experimenting and especially don't experiment yourself if you don't want to end up with testosterone-driven cancer in 30 years.

This could be one of the potential reasons. Do you feel more stressed than usual? Beets can act as vascular relaxants and antiinflammatories but that shouldn't drive your insomnia. Hard to say from the limited information above. It could be due to late eating, electronic exposure, high cortisol, stimulants etc.. Anything else new in your life? I am not too familiar with Reiki but if you learn to manipulate your energetics, maybe that could be doing something but hard to say. Reiki should be more grounding and calming as far as I know.

Muay-Thai fighters in Thailand kick banana trees until it is cut in half. I've seen this with my own eyes when I head the pleasure to train in Muay-Thai gym once during visit to Krabi and the surrounding region. These guys play hardcore, no covers unlike most western gyms. You can find a gym with a really hard large bag and practice on that

the point was to force the UK government to start taking action against climate change such as reducing transport emissions, increasing city tax for people who own vehicles, looking at water supplies, waste disposal, recycling, plastic and basically all the "hot topics". In that aspect I absolutely agree and get it. We need that kind of protest and rebellion. But stopping the only means of public transport for people who do NOT own cars and who are too poor to be manipulating the system.....well sends a wrong message and renders this whole movement riddiculous.

Wait, you mean THE CAMERA??? It's coming and it will be mindblowing! @Leo Gura what's the update on the new hyper-gear?

Not a success story but I took the LP course in early 2017 and things have been moving the right way since then. The message was clear: To study health & nutrition to help people regain their health and take control over their wellbeing. So I started studying a naturopathy in the same year and in August 2020, I'll finally be qualified after 3 years and be able and legally allowed to start working with chronically ill people. Currently still in a corporate environment to be able to pay the bills but getting ready to make the next move at some point next year after graduation. Ideally, I'm planning to set up my own clinic and see clients privately The self-promotion and marketing side freaks me out as that is something I have no idea how to do. Overall I have strong faith that this will all work out eventually.

I'd say start by making up your mind about what it is you really want. "If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable." So it seems like smoking is masking a) anxiety b) food cravings. Food cravings may come down to blood sugar dysregulation. Eating the wrong food at wrong times. Eating junk your blood sugar skyrockets and drops subsequently leaving you with further cravings. This would be causing you to overeat because your blood glucose and insulin are riding a rollercoaster together. To optimize this it is wise to eat foods with lower glycemic load, eating regularly but avoiding sweets and processed foods. Implementing more plant food sources, more whole grains and legums, these are perfect foods for blood sugar regulations. However if your cravings are due to boredom or stress, that's a different story. You can work with a nutritionist on this. Anxieties are a bit harder to tackle but it has been discussed many time all over this forum. You can try various abdominal breathing techniques, daily meditation is a must and then observing and investigating your anxieties. If yous say it is about a long commute....well perhaps you should consider changing that. There are some adaptogenic herbs such as Siberian Ginseng or Ashwagandha that may help you as well. Try them in tinctures not capsules. Otherwise finding ways to cope with commute. Audiobooks are good. Guided meditations are perfect as well.
