What’s up guys, I know I’m super late to this but does anyone have experience with detoxing/repairing the brain after being prescribed ketamine?
I have a friend who struggles with super intense depression and I’ve been trying to figure what the cause might have been. He just told me today he was prescribed 1.5g of ketamine and was on Adderall as well. (Not sure if it was at the same time).
Lower back pain is tough. It depends what the suspected cause is
What I would do is accept that the problem is some mixture of multiple things and embrace the rehab process.
Accepting alone is the first step to healing. I'd remove the urgency but instead prioritize pragmatic consistency. I'd spend maybe 20 minutes 3-5 times a week doing my lower back brainstorming
I'd treat it like a project. Grab a big whiteboard and lay out all the potential root causes. Lay out all my sources, references, and bookmarks, find the experts and distill their theories
Then I'd see what i can implement today. I'd combine as many treatment modalities as possible, I'd embrace the fringe explanations as well (like subconscious related pain etc)
In short, I'd take it easy on myself and realize that this pain will make me better in the process.
Do you know if grounding shoes (like rhizzal) works if we wear socks inside? Also wondering if there are bad implications of wearing them when driving a Tesla (dirty electricity)?
Do you think there’s a big issue with black or pu erh tea being 5 Alpha reductase inhibitors? I’ve switched from coffee to tea recently and definitely feel better with the added l-Theanine but will drop it if it’s a test/DHT concern
Depends on frequency of consumption and personal response.
This is mainly a concern for people who are already low DHT, which most of us are. I drink tea but I also do DHT boosting protocols and avoid other DHT inhibitors
I don't think its something to be concerned about in moderation as long as you're avoiding other DHT inhibitors
Try it out, but make a baseline assessment of your DHT-like indicators. Mood, cognition, energy etc
A question about shredmaxxing - what are your thoughts on “net” carbs? For example, incorporating foods that may be a bit higher in carbs but also high in fiber, specifically for the “high fat” meal. Thanks!
Totally acceptable. Its about having a low(er) carb meal, not a fully carbless meal
For my last meal, I'll typically have it with rice or some other carb, but I'm pretty advanced in the whole metabolic flexibility aspect so I can spare that
But Vegetables aren't a concern, resistant starch potatoes also a good choice
Planning a trip to Costa Rica. Do you have any recommendations on towns to stay there? Im looking for a healthy medium between being in the jungle, yet also would like to have access to a social environment where I can meet local Costa Ricans. Also, any other travel tips?
I suggested in the main chat that it would be great if you would produce a "Travel Protocol" where you include all things related to travel; booking flights, negotiation of rentals, transportation, flight damage mitigation, movement on the go, etc...anything that relates to amalgamating into a new environment/culture.
I just read your Get Shredded guide and was wondering what I should do to prevent PUFAs from affecting my cells, as I need to lose 50 kg to return to a normal weight for my height and age range?
My father is overweight and he desperately wants to lose weight and get off of his medications. He is on medication for his heart and also for blood sugar or something i think. I really want to help him because he has been failed by the doctors, being rushed onto medications without genuine tests. However I don’t have the knowledge to give him. Noah we would really like your assistance. It doesn’t have to be massively in depth, just the needle movers for his heart + other issues related to obesity.
This is a tough one Jamie. The best thing you can do is identify whats in YOUR control. What can YOU do to change his behavior, to get him to enjoy the act of becoming healthy
This comes down to knowing your dad and your relationship with him. How can you make getting healthy become a bonding experience? How can you use your relationship with him for good?
I'll use my dad as an example. Telling him to become healthy never worked. getting frustrated with him definitely didn't work. So I realized I had to be smarter, more cunning.
I needed to find ways to incentivize him to be healthy without saying its "to be healthier"
I knew he liked tennis but didn't play much, so I incentivized him to play more by buying him tennis gear instead of whiskey for holidays. First a new racquet, then shoes, then a bag. Every time I got him a gift he played more & more.
Physical activity: check
Then it came to food. Instead of telling him to eat healthier, I started making him healthier food. He realized how good it tastes. Instead of telling him to throw out the junk in his pantry, I bought healthy alternatives for him as gifts. I didn't focus on the health component of it, I focused on the craftsmanship
All of the sudden, health became fun for him. Throughout all of this, I casually and non-judgmentally would reference new studies/insights when it came to healthy living.
Don't worry about the niche stuff, just focus on the basics. Start small. Make him a healthy meal, spend time with him outside. Maybe consider nattokinase as an easy supplement add
Figure out what his painpoints are. Learn to speak his language and be encouraging
Thoughts on pre/pro/postbiotic supplements? Something like a Seed ds-01 or ritual+ symbiotic. I feel like I already know the answer to this which is “stick to real food” lol

Any recommendations? Thank you 🤙🏽🤙🏽
what you can get prescribed ketamine ? thats crazy, what country do you live in?
USA. Yeah it’s nuts
For FTN, is eating throughout the morning okay? Like grazing on fruit? Or should it be more meal focused
If you had lowerback pain for years, what would you to make it go away?

Appreciate the long answer!
If I'm going to take low dose Accutane (20mg for 9 months) to clear up pretty bad acne, what should I take/focus on to minimize negative side effects?
I can't recommend that accutane destroyed my health. You're taking a chemotherapeutic agent that can cause irreparable damage to multiple organs.
Do you know if grounding shoes (like rhizzal) works if we wear socks inside? Also wondering if there are bad implications of wearing them when driving a Tesla (dirty electricity)?
It all depends on what surface you're on, if its a conductive surface, then yes they will still work.
If its petroleum based, then no. Linoleum, asphalt etc
The implications of driving a tesla make wearing the concern of wearing grounding shoes in them obselete
Hey Noah,
Do you think there’s a big issue with black or pu erh tea being 5 Alpha reductase inhibitors? I’ve switched from coffee to tea recently and definitely feel better with the added l-Theanine but will drop it if it’s a test/DHT concern

I don't think its something to be concerned about in moderation as long as you're avoiding other DHT inhibitors
Try it out, but make a baseline assessment of your DHT-like indicators. Mood, cognition, energy etc
Then assess how you feel in a few weeks
Thank you. I do avoid other DHT inhibitors. Will see how energy levels stay at this consumption rate 🫡

Normal A1C (5.1), but fasting glucose always between 90-105. Any concerns or considerations?
No concerns, I'd retest. Fasting glucose can spike in the AM in response to cortisol. Maybe you had a high carb meal before bed?
I wouldn't be worried about insulin resistance
Hey brother!
Hope you had a great Christmas!

Travel protocol would be awesome!
I haven't spent ample time in Costa Rica but Nosara sounds like what you're looking for
How do you cycle oral BPC-157 and what should be the starting dose?
for me personally, I do 250mcg 2x a day for up to 3 weeks
Since I use frequently, I keep on an as needed basis, probably averaging 12 doses a month (for a total of 3000mcg)
I just read your Get Shredded guide and was wondering what I should do to prevent PUFAs from affecting my cells, as I need to lose 50 kg to return to a normal weight for my height and age range?
Lose weight slowly & steadily. Optimize your phase 1 & 2 detox functions with TUDCA, NAC, Milk thistle, vitamin C, vitamin E. Keep PUFA consumption to an absolute minimum. Binders like activated charcoal (taken away from food and supplements) doesn’t hurt
Any supplements or peptides you’d suggest for pituitary gland support?
Depends what aspect of the pituitary you're looking to support
If you're alluding to fluoride detox? NAC & tamarind
If you're alluding to the HPG axis, GH & Testosterone release? Glycine, Zinc, L-Arginine
If you're alluding to the pituitary itself? B6, Magnesium, Sunlight, Gingko Biloba, Colostrum
SUNLIGHT, Vitamin D3 is essential for "awakening the third eye"
Any thoughts on minoxidil? Any topical protocols for hair growth (like dermaroller, ghk, specific shampoo...)?
Dirty drug.
Best protocol is:
- Scalp massages
- Topical Ghk-Cu
- Dermaroller 2x/week
- Red light
- BPC 157
- Ketoconazole shampoo
Won't make you a eunuch!
why dirty drug?
Would love to see a candida protocol. For now Im starting with no simple carbs, no high sugar fruits.
Kefir
Bone Broth
Oil of oregano
BSO
Natto
Activated Charcoal
Milk Thistle
Sauna
Big 6 by Dr Perry.
Grounding and sunlight
Without going into too much depth is this a decent start? Anything you would add?
Super solid start. Make sure you're using binders and be cognizant of die off
One thing I personally employ is NAC both for its detox support (via glutathione replenishment) and biofilm breakdown function

You don’t understand how much i needed this.
Thank you Noah!
Thoughts on pre/pro/postbiotic supplements? Something like a Seed ds-01 or ritual+ symbiotic. I feel like I already know the answer to this which is “stick to real food” lol
Thanks Noah!
They all have their place. Certain Pre/post/probiotics have unique benefits, a lot of the blends are too brute force & overhyped
For prebiotics, I like Acacia fiber, but veggies & fruit are the real prebiotics
For probiotics, I like kefir cultures and l.reuteri (my FAVORITE Probiotic)
For postbiotics, sodium butyrate is awesome and people have had incredible results with it
Check these out, do some digging, consider experimenting
