Insulin Issues

[M_Mitchell08]

Ok, after much research and trials, I believe my issues resolve around insulin. There are two things that make me feel good, and by good I mean I'm able to pass a bowel movement within 10-15 minutes of consumption and feel hungry within 30-45 minutes. It's like my body is turning back on. These two things are alcohol and coffee.

When looking online for others that have the increase in appetite with caffeine, which should do the opposite, the justification has been that insulin is increasing. Additionally, alcohol has been shown to improve insulin activity. So my question is, are their ways to actively increase insulin through herbs or supplements? Would love to start a regiment that tries to prove my theory. I drink caffeine on a regular basis and every time, I pass a bowel movement within 20-30 minutes, which is fantastic as I am usually backed up to the point where I feel pain in my liver area. It is an exciting development, but I want to make sure I can do something that is more permanent.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Are you PFS, I wrote about insulin many times. Finasteride raises insulin in blood. same as testosterone.

There is nothing to test, it is the problem in PFS.

Only some people have high insulin and some low. in PFS. since the problem is with cortisol.


I posted that finasteride regulates zinc and chromium levels.

Coffee increases adrenaline which increases potassium entrance into the cell. Thus this increases metabolism and insulin goes up to provide more sugar.

Magnesium does the same for a lot of people.


Low insulin after steroids, is called steroid diabetes.

@M_Mitchell08 Go on TEI, they should fix all your sugar metabolism problems.

 

[Helen]

Thanks Helen for the response! I am PFS, but I believe all my issues started after an intense round of corticosteroids, which seemed to numb my entire body - including appetite and this was all pre-pfs.

I am waiting for my second round of hair analysis.

Corticosteroids cause potassium loss. Since cortisol wastes potassium from the body,. Insulin secretion will be prohibited without potassium.

Since insulin pushes potassium inside of the cell. So if potassium is low, then insulin goes down.


Do TEI, not ARL. Follow the program , they should fix this issue for you.


this is a good read for you Potassium and Insulin Relationship | allnurses


If you have low or high potassium, it could cause potassium paralysis, where you dont feel your body .

 

[Helen]

@M_Mitchell08 Sometimes I had cases where it was actually too high potassium in the cell, and that stopped sugar metabolism also


I would rec to you to test blood for electrolytes and sugar metabolism, to understand what is going on.

[Helen]

Why do you prefer TEI over ARL?

TEI is a faster program, and it seems to work better.

 

[Helen]

There is something with the potassium pump, as minoxidil has also made me feel better in the past.

High or low potassium , I think is your problem

 

[Helen]

I 100% agree, I need to figure out which one. I know you said that TEI is better, but I am waiting to see what the ARL program says and I might just stay on it, even though it takes longer. I am in this for the long haul!

TEI I think works better with the sugar metabolism, More agressive. you might try that. We have a lot more people with progress from TEI than from ARL so far.

 

[Helen]

@M_Mitchell08 If potassium is high , you could have insulin resistance. With actually high insulin.

 

[Helen]

So look at diets geared towards lowering insulin resistance?

Look at testing what case you are. Tei will give you the diet. which is proper for your sugar metabolism

Eating a carnivore diet will release insulin while improving sensitivity. Nothing improves insulin sensitivity like low fat, high protein, muscle building, cinammon, tumeric, sulphuric vegetables, and cialis. I believe a week or two on that diet will resolve your symptoms.

No aspirin.

I hope you understand that some people got PFS just from taking cialis and viagra/

the diet you mentioned is recommended for slow oxidizer at TEI>

--I'm pretty sure High protein med high fat, super low carb also helps insulin sensitivity, as per 180lb pre effexor, 208 after, 180 a year and a half after that, for 65 years mostly.
--Also, near shredded at times now. But only 4pack... fucking sucks, but soon ill be leaner, riding out the tei... Losing a bit of fat slowly.
-But I added carbs as per TEI recs, but still do fasted training... also some* but not an insane amount of alternate day fasting. Not trying to waste away either... that's not cool.

Yes, that's the diet/life style I've been following with a cheat day once every 5/6 days when I usually eat applesauce . That's basically the diet TEI recommended too, what would be the mechanism of cialis helping insulin sensitivity ?
It definitely takes more than a week or two Imo, everytime I try to reintroduce something like rice, It doesn't feel optimal, hair texture, eyes dryness, sometimes anxiety. But it doesn't seem to " crash " me anymore, especially in terms of fatigue the way it used to

So reaction gets better overtime but I wish it were that quick

Wonder if potassium cycling could help too

That's not possible. There is no evidence that PDE-5 taken chronically develops tolerance or permanent side effects in medical literature.

In medical literature? I had 2 people who got this and also chronic fatigue syndrome, just from playing with cialis and viagra, it is possible.
Who is going to write anything in medical literature. about it? they need to keep selling it.

 

[vicecaz]

Are you on TEI?

No, I'm following their diet recommendations but that was the diet I decided to go with through research and experimentation anyway
I've been following CDnuts protocol since February/March and said I would go for a whole year at least but in the process I added electrolytes, vit E/C and B vitamins, at a really slow dosage for the latter
Made amazing progress with it but some symptoms are still lagging

Cialis has been recently discovered to significantly improve T2D, even diabetic neuropathy, which is astounding to say the least. I believe that there is some prostaglandin deficiency in PFS as well, which might be related to skin and genital insensitivity, among other PG deficiency symptoms. Which is why I said no aspirin for PFS at all. This also explains why spikes in cortisol or estrogen provides temporary recovery. A carnivore diet will lean heavily on your cortisol and nor-adreaine to provide energy. The second benefit of beef only diets is that it eliminates any and all inflammatory responses from diet, because there is virtually zero allergenic proteins.

And don't supplement vitamin C with your meals.

I can vouch for the meat only diets, everytime I try this or something close to I have absolutely 0 hair shedding, hair texture is great, mood is better too . when I ( rarely now ) feel down I think its an inflammation-induced depression, and it doesn't happen while on this diet

Helen won't like that but for reasons Im taking cialis every 2/3 weeks since this summer, didn't notice much aside from the the effects it's supposed to have, but I didn't know about those discoveries. thanks for sharing
