My road to recovery

[Yus]

Could be psychological no? I think considering the fact that you've gone through such a bizarre experience, there'll be something lingering, or something off. I could imagine, especially if you haven't disclosed or spoken to them about what you've been through, that there'll always be some sense of discomfort, I'm 5 months post, and i kind of feel similar to you, although i found that speaking to my brother/family has somewhat normalized my presence around them, and this whole situation

Ran out of pine pollen powder recently so been taking the tincture daily while waiting for my new order from LEH.

Is there an amount of the tincture that's "too much" to take? I've been taking up to four dropperfuls per day.

Wait so it is the capsules you take daily, and the tincture you take once every 21 days as per the rotation?

I bought the tincture but then I noticed it says to cycle it every 4-5 days with a 2 day break. Apparently it contains a small amount of testosterone and androsterone.

I just take the powder daily. Haven't tried the capsules.

Lost Empire recommends you cycle the tincture but CD said in an old post it's fine when taken daily. So, I normally cycle it, but am currently taking it daily as I wait for more powder to arrive.

Oh I didn't realize they sold it in powder form. So then you take the powder daily, but you also use the tincture as part of your 21 day herb rotation?

lol I should have been more clear. I just meant that now I have been cycling 2 weeks worth of different herbs my body feels like it is primed to go on a cycle.

If finances are tight, just start off with 7 herbs then slowly build up from there by buying a new herb every week.

I see, so you still just have 14 different herbs, not 21? How is your brain fog? Mine is still nasty.

Yeah I have around 14 diff herbs.

Brain fog has pretty much gone. Just struggling with mood and energy levels, which fluctuate. One day I feel super motivated with laser like clarity and bouncing with energy, the next feel sluggish and depressed.

Yes, exactly.

Hey fellas, I don't think I've ever done a post showing the routine I'm doing in detail. So I thought might as well do it. I've been on the protocol since February 2019.

Juice Feast:

Did seven days, after which I began the protocol.

Herbs:

Ant Extract
Ashwagandha Tincture
Schisandra
Eleuthero
Horny Goat Weed
He Shou Wu
Royal Jelly
Tongkat Ali
Shilajit Resin
Cistanche
Goji Berry
Mucuna
Cordyceps
Pine Pollen Tincture
Muira Puama
Butea Superba
Catuaba Bark
Suma Root

I also take two tablespoons of pine pollen powder daily. Currently not taking it though as I ran out a while ago and have been waiting for more to arrive. Therefore I'm currently taking the tincture daily. I also used to have Rhodiola on here too, but I ran out back in September. Lost Empire doesn't seem to have Rhodiola anymore, so if anyone knows a good quality brand that ships to Europe feel free to let me know.

Supplements:

Chlorella
Spirulina
Vitamin D 10,000 iu
Magnesium

I take all of these at night.

Diet:

Paleo style diet with carb backloading after workouts.

Meats and fish: Beef, pork, bacon, lamb, chicken, turkey, tuna, salmon
Fruits: Apples, pears, bananas, strawberries, raspberries
Vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, kale
Spices: Sea salt, black pepper, oregano
Drinks: Water, coconut water

I also eat plenty of eggs during the day.

Carb backloading on workout days: White rice, gluten free pasta

Exercise:

Four gym days a week.

Day 1: Back
Day 2: Arms
Day 3: Chest/Shoulders
Day 4: Legs/Abs

HIIT on Wednesdays/Sundays.

Other Lifestyle:

Cold showers every morning and night
Skin brushing in the shower
Breathing exercises morning and night
Limiting masturbation
Avoiding xenoestrogens
No alcohol
No caffeine
Sun exposure 30 minutes per day whenever possible

Prohormones:

I've done two cycles of Andro Hard by Muscle Gelz.

Cycle #1 was four weeks at 400mg/day
Cycle #2 was five weeks at 400mg/day.

All of this stuff is just a part of my life these days, so it feels like I'm just living my life and not "doing a protocol". Just gotta wait to get back to 100%. By the way, if anyone notices something I might be doing wrong, please feel free to tell me. Thanks!

Sorry, is this correct you are doing 2 *TBSP* of pine pollen daily? Because on the package it says recommended dose 1/2-1 *TSP* 1-2x daily. So you are doing TBSP not TSP right? If so I might try a bigger dose.

Yeah I do two tablespoons a day. Lost Empire has two dosing recommendations for PP, the normal dose and the megadose. The normal dose is three teaspoons daily, and the megadose is three tablespoons daily. Hope that clears it up bro.
