In a pinch, you can be your own hype person.

Being someone's biggest hype person might actually help them become who they want to be. Believe in their potential. Encourage their goals. Help them get there. There's actual research on this. It's called the Michelangelo phenomenon.

New study on endometriosis Organic selenium supplementation had a significant reduction in endometrioma size - from 4.82 cm to 3.78 cm, while placebo increased 1.25cm. It also significantly reduced the associated period pain/cramps.

Having any mental condition and not practicing gratitude is like not having muscle and skipping the gym. Let's say that you struggle with anxiety for example. Then, when you consciously focus on gratitude, prefrontal cortex activity acts like a volume knob, directly downregulating and calming the overactive amygdala. And because your brain has limited processing resources, it struggles to heavily stimulate the prefrontal cortex (appreciation) while simultaneously keeping the amygdala in a state of high alert (fear). Basically, gratitude overrides anxiety. fitandball.gumroad.com/l/bra…

severe depression reversed in under 7 days when patients took 125-300 mg of magnesium glycinate with meals and at bedtime.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The studies in the post do not support the claim. The 2006 paper presents case histories (not a controlled trial) using magnesium glycinate and taurinate; the 2017 trial used magnesium chloride over 6 weeks for mild-to-moderate depression. gwern.net/doc/nootropic/… pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC54… pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…

Heating tumors shrinks them, improves cancer survival by ~50% in trial. Application of heat has numerous benefits in cancer: ⬩Activating the immune system ⬩Increasing oxygen delivery ⬩Improving metabolism Here, improving outcomes when combined with chemo vs chemo alone. 100-115 °F typically - can be accomplished with a hot bath.

Most people think aspirin is for headaches. Ray Peat treated it like a hormone. So I took 4g a day for 2 weeks and ran full bloodwork before and after. > Ferritin: 272 → 186 > Cortisol: 437 → 374 > TSH: 2.51 → 0.97, the lowest I’ve ever had > hsCRP: 1.2 → 0.6 > GGT: 34 → 23 > Triglycerides: 185 → 129 Here’s the chain. Aspirin shuts down prostaglandins. Fewer prostaglandins, less signal telling your brain to make cortisol. Salicylate pulls T3 off its carrier protein, so more of it gets into your cells. And it binds free iron, so less of it sits around making free radicals. One cheap pill hit stress, thyroid, iron and inflammation at the same time.
