Neurotransmitters MAXXING (curing depression and resetoring brain)

[GeorgeMathew]

Quitting easy dopamine sources. Forums, games, mindless surfing, youtube, tv, social media. Moderation if you can control.

true too, they are not sources but dopamine disruptors.

2nd Week:

My protocol is every Saturday and Sunday but this week I took it on Friday and Saturday. So Friday I overdosed more than usual (a fist full of tea, waited like 20 mins for it to brew and then repoured water over the used tea leaves and drank it again) and it was WAY more obvious. Instead of feeling like a social god I just felt overstimulated, so much so that I become less hyper and more calm and anxious.

Saturday I took 2 spoons of tumeric, some black pepper and water at 12 and then 4 spoons of tumeric, pepper, and water before bed (yeah I fucked up the timing). Tumeric definitely increases dopamine, not as much as the green tea though. I felt like I was going through tea withdrawal or a tea hangover on Saturday, but every time I drank the tumeric water I felt way better and all the symptoms faded.

Sunday and today and I haven't noticed a difference or its really hard to tell.

PS: Last week I took the tumeric with coconut and almond milk and I will continue to do so because apparetnly the tumeric becomes more bioavailable?

Anyway I'll keep up the protocol (from next week it will continue from every Saturday and Sunday) just because I love the confidence the Gyokuro tea gives me so WIN/WIN if the protocol actually works.

I want to share this secret with you guys, I know lots of secrets that most of you don't, I've been called a troll for many times around here, but I am not a troll.

This time for example I'll share with you a very rare secret, I do this because, well, let's say to prove I'm not a troll.

So most of you don't know that your brains are rewired to faulty patterns, by the things you've done in the last years, most of you are in severe depression and don't even know it because you cannot measure neurotransmitters levels and status, take a listen :

1. Overdose green tea 1 day per week. Take like, a full bowl of green tea and after boiling it drink it
2. Next day in the morning take turmeric powder, then take again at mid-day and at night, be it 1-2 spoons
3. Don't drink coffee at all

Do this for 1-2 months and your brain will slowly recover for what you've done. Listen, the effects will not start after 1-2 months but after 1-2 days. You will see again how it is to have a normal neurotransmitter function, because 80% of planet doesn't in this moment.

You will no longer need drugs and antidepressants. have fun

Lifefuel for me

thank u this is very needed to me atm, great thread.
can u explain how this would work?

my brain chemicals are fine. 100% of my depression and frustration is caused by my parents.

I actually have a legit method to fix brain chemistry and make the best out of your neurotransmitters. Thread is currently in the works but I will post it soon.

@MentalCel and @GeorgeMathew both make sense. Personality can really be altered if you alter your gut. There is a proven link between the gut and brain. Certain microbes are needed for producing GABA and dopamine too. And as most people know, 90%+ of serotonin is in the gut. Serotonin and Dopamine are probably the 2 most important things for depression. Serotonin for being able to tolerate stress and Dopamine for motivation. Funny how foods involved in the carnivore diet are the foods highest in Tryptophan, a Serotonin precursor. Diet alterations can and do promote positive gut flora, but the carnivore diet also aids in Serotoninergic processes. It's gonna be too complex to get into every nuance concerning brain health. GABA is more to do with anxiety/lack there-of.

It's really weird but the gut microbes involved in creating actual Serotonin may actually need to be the ones you'd ought to keep a lower balance of. These include: Candida, Streptococcus, Escherichia and Enterococcus. It is VERY VERY difficult to actually become unable to make enough serotonin in the gut, the difficulties with Serotonin lies in the brain syntheses processes, which Niacin (Vitamin B3) and foods high in Typtophan can aid in. The microbes you want a high concentration of in your gut are the ones involved in making GABA: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium; and Dopamine: Bacillus and Serratia. If you have a higher concentration of the Serotonin producing microbes, it's just a foregone benefit since you really don't need a lot of them, since Serotonin production is very easy whilst the actual synthesis is incredibly complex. SSRIs are made to sound simple. Doctors say: They prevent the synapses in the neurons from reuptaking Serotonin, leaving your brain with more circulating Serotonin. That's a simple explanation which may be true, but it's not a cast-iron answer as to why it should cure your depression. On the flipside, SSREs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Enhancers) like Tianeptine, which is a Tricyclic Antidepressant, is noticeably more helpful for feelings of depression than SSRIs, even though both do the entirely opposite thing.

So, optimizing gut-flora can change a lot of things. And the brain processes involved with Dopamine and GABA are a lot simpler, studied and understood; while the Serotoninergic processes are still cloudy despite what we're being told by professionals. So if Serotonin is easy to make, not needed in abundance since we're concerned about it's function in our brain rather than producing too much only to not be used in the brain and stay around in the gut, it's better to focus on producing more GABA and Dopamine as a sort of wise opportunity cost, as we are more sure that all the GABA and Dopamine will reach the brain, and hopefully be synthesized efficiently.

About the green tea and curcumin. They're both unique anti-oxidants. Firstly, anti-oxidants can help people with depression induced by under-methylation. All anti-oxidants are electron donors and help form more methyl groups for our body to use. And fortunately, drugs/(vitamins), Niacin(B3) particularly is one of the only known compounds to aid in brain Serotonin synthesis, and it consumes a lot of methyl groups. Curcumin also has some interesting properties that increases BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor). The green tea contains a very powerful anti-oxidant called Epigallocatechin Gallate, which is a form of Gallic Acid. Not only is it an electron donor which helps create more methyl groups; it also can promote mitochondrial biogenesis and neurogenesis (creation of new brain cells) through the deacetylated PGC1 alpha pathway.

Niacin is one of the only things proven to help metabolize Serotonin in the brain. But if you take too much Niacin you'll eat up your methyl groups. MSM+Niacin is a powerful combo, along with consumption of polyphenols or anything that can work as an electron donor.

I think understanding the process of mitochondrial biogenesis through PGC1a offers a huge help when it comes to looksmaxing.

From what I've heard, the neurotransmitters synthesised in the gut have effects in the gut there and do not cross the blood-brain barrier, so they make no difference to your mental state at all.
Almost every neurotransmitter has periphery effects as well, and just because there's more serotonin in your gut it doesn't mean you're going to be happier (correct me if I am wrong though)

Also, the link between low serotonin and depression has been shown to be tenuous from recent studies, since SSRIs can decrease serotonin while still alleviating depressive symptoms

It's all still very unclear, but the only thing worked for my depression was exercise, the effect was mild at best and went away after I stopped exercising

Very underrated post by @x30001. Niacin is synthesized via the kynurenine pathway (KP). If someone is diagnosed with depression, the shunt of tryptophan from serotonin synthesis to kynurenine formation is responsible for this resulting in an unbalanced KP. If dosed correctly, niacin can fix this. Higher levels of tryptophan in the hippocampus and midbrain promote neurogenesis and improvement of anxiety.

I just started Niacin a few days ago and I have noticed that I am more calm and levelheaded, something that Ashwagandha KSM-66 and L-Theanine failed to do. Niacin might be one of the best looksmaxxing/lifemaxxing supplements out there, not only for the psychological benefits but also because of the flush that gives your skin a reddish, glowing tint which is ideal to use before going on a date with your oneitis.

How much niacin should I take. Also I literally overdose on ashwagandha and L-Theanine they both dont do shit it's pure cope.

Ok folks, tell you another secret, I don't care about bashing on this one, I know you won't believe me. But I DO WORK on this technologies and aging is my domain of study (I work here for 2 months only thou, but I know few things these people are talking about in the company ) , ok here you go :

Coffee destroys your skin and also ages your hair with ages. Now, keep drinking coffee

What industry do you work in? Medicine? Tea? Supplements?...

EGCG and Curcumin are both HDAC and NF-kB inhibitors so OP was on to something.
