Turnover25 2nd PH run: UltraHard

[Turnover25]

Good idea to start the thread. I can relate to almost everything you wrote here. I will also start my second ph cyle, one more week on the herbs left. I'm using Super R Andro. I also experience downswings sometimes on cycle with the same symptoms. I went up to 700mg a day but kept it around 500mg most times. 7 weeks straight, wanted to go for longer but was running out of capsules. I got 8 bottles now so I'm looking forward to start.
I relate most with the still ongoing brain fog. It's like im still not really present. The only symptom that still affects me badly. I am sure the root cause is elevated cortisol. Why's that you think it comes from the liver? Tudca, niacinamide and coffee with gelatine is good for the liver tho.
Keep going bro we will break the brain fog soon!

For real? That’s good to know man. Not that you’re suffering of course, just to know that others can relate and I’m not crazy. Sometimes I feel like the only one dealing with some of these symptoms cuz nobody talks about them usually.

I’m not sure about cortisol though. I haven’t gotten mine tested in a while but I have zero anxiety now, which makes me think my cortisol is back near a more normal range, and I still have brain fog. But It’s basically been me putting some pieces together and seeing some trends. There was a post on PH years ago about a guy named brongfogboy who cured his chronic brain fog after taking gugulipds, eating organic fruits and vegetables, and taking apple cider vinegar and baking soda every day for a week to bring his body into an alkaline state. His theory was that fin impacted our livers ability to manage the bodies PH levels, causing the body to be acidic causing brain fog. Then there was Japanther who cured his brain fog from a raw food diet, and a lot of guys in the comments said it sounded like a liver issue and that raw food was great for liver, also that’s an alkaline diet. Also my uncle passed away from liver failure this year, and he had slurred speech and you could tell he had a hard time remembering things that happened seconds ago, and had issues with conversation. I’d imagine before he died his brain fog was similar to ours. Then finally The breathing exercises CD recommends brings your body into an alkaline state, which maybe why it helped CD and why he recommends it for brain fog. The breathing gives me anxiety and maybe that’s my body cleansing from an acidic state. But, that’s just some theories of mine. I’ll probably give the baking soda thing a go in a few months just to see if it works. If it doesn’t I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing. But thanks man, I’ll look into those.

I also feel it may be related to insulin resistance.
