Study how to learn.
Study how to read a book correctly.
Read books on how to learn.
Read books on how to read a book correctly.
Schools tricked you into reading full books or making notes to learn 99% of the time but I believe once you learn how to learn, read and even think CORRECTLY then your life enjoyment improves and your life transforms dramatically because you become less dependent on the system and more sovereign.

If you're extremely lazy then you can read the book summaries and watch animated book summaries of the books people ahead of you recommend
If it's important, you'll remember to apply what you learnt or you'll feel exteme euphoria "ahhh moment" when encountering important information
Use that as navigation.

Magnesium and ADHD
Magnesium administration decreases anxiety, panic and phobia and ameliorates the attention deficit and sleep disorders simply by increasing GABA (relaxation molecule) and lowering glutamate levels in the brain.
Why is nobody talking about this?

Elevated estrogen can lock the body in fight or flight so you smoke weed and masturbate in an attempt to reduce stress, estrogen and escape fight or flight but now you need to target the root cause of addiction (building on the quote above):
- Elevated stress
- elevated estrogen
- elevated inflammation
- elevated prolactin
- reduced dopamine
The above is the addiction physiology so focus on balancing the physiology and reducing anxiety.

[Are panic attacks mainly a manifestation of hormonal imbalance, excessive stress hormones?]
"Yes, usually with hyperventilation caused by high estrogen and serotonin, low vitamin B6."
- Dr Ray Peat
Remember that B6 also helps to lower prolactin which will also help with reducing your symptoms of anxiety when trying to have sex/shift into parasympathetic mode.
BOOM!
Thank you for reading.

Finally, your elevated estrogen can be due to the toxic environment (plastic, emf, seed oils etc) that has been designed to keep you weak and addicted to weed/masturbation (to reduce estrogen and stress)
Now that I have advised you on the root cause of your addiction and how the environment is against you, you must take action and slowly find different ways to shift to a more biologically balanced state of balanced stress, estrogen and cortisol (instead of masturbating and smoking weed)
Focus on fixing the environment (avoiding seed oils, plastics, pthalates etc) and using things like orange juice, prolactin reducing supplements to become more balanced etc

I would also add simple carbs (honey, figs, fruit etc) and milk to help reduce cortisol levels and reduce butterfly feelings.
Avoid the keto/low carb diet AT ALL COSTS if dealing with these symptoms.
Your anxiety will reduce and your sex drive improves if you follow the advise

"High estrogen does sometimes cause insatiable sexual interest, partly because it increases adrenal androgens, and partly by inhibiting satisfying orgasms. Too much progesterone can suppress or neutralize the androgens. thyroid is the best way to regulate the system, keeping libido up, making orgasms satisfying."

Your body is stuck in flight or flight which is why you're masturbating and smoking weed so much but now you've nuked prolactin levels so focus on reducing that FIRST
Then follow the advise on healing the nervous system and reducing anxiety/butterflies and I would strongly advise stimulating the vagus nerve so you can have sex without anxiety.
Remember that the vagus nerve also requires vitamins and minerals to function.

If you think about something sexually or your body wants to get aroused BUT you get very anxious, you might think it's because of 2 things:
- Your excessive masturbation (this can spike the death hormone prolactin)
- Your daily use of marijuana
I would advise that you're partially correct but you're partially incorrect because obviously there's more to it than you think:
- THC is estrogenic and prolactin (the death hormone) levels were significantly higher in individuals smoking 1-2 joints/week (average age of 50) compared to non-users. The way it increases prolactin is likely by an opioid mechanism. Likely by increasing beta-endorphins
- Everyone knows masturbation increases prolactin and can deplete body of vital minerals which means further stress and chance of a prolactin spike.
I would strongly advise that you test prolactin levels and if levels are high (which they very likely will be) then supplementing with Vitamin E, B6, Vitamin D etc to reduce anxiety when trying to enter the parasympathetic nervous system.
In essence, your body is currently incapable of switching to the parasympathetic nervous system so I would also advise vitamin B1 supplementation to help shift the transition and help reduce your anxiety when you are required to engage in sexual activity.

SPRINTING boosts human growth hormone anywhere between 500% and 750%
20-30 second sprint, rest 90 seconds and repeat this 8 times.
Sprinting can be as a effective as injecting human growth hormone.
Look at most Olympic sprinters they are jacked.

Growth hormone decrease dramatically as we age, and the decrease starts in our 20s.
HGH, a naturally producing hormone by the pituitary gland promotes muscle mass and effectively burns excessive fat. It also plays an important part in promoting overall health and longevity.

Not many people know this but the urge to watch porn is your brain's way of saying "I NEED dopamine" and is actually your body's attempt to lower inflammation and stress levels in the brain.
If you want to quit porn FOR GOOD then I would strongly advise that you focus on 3 simple things:
-Lowering brain inflammation (specifically pre frontal cortex)
-Increasing dopamine levels in the brain (at rest)
-Lowering stress in the brain
Most men with porn addictions (including you) are scared to talk to AND make direct eye contact with women in the real world because they have placed women too high on a mental pedestal which is why they watch porn.
A good start if you want to reduce porn consumption would be anything that reduces the chronic state of "anxiety" - this will remove your impulsive thoughts like "just one more look" “I won’t masturbate this time I’ll just watch” etc
Porn addictions are also associated with feelings of shame,guilt,regret etc - this is because a stressed brain is indeed a DEPRESSED brain.
I’ll be honest with you, I also used to get these thoughts a lot (we are both men after all) but I have more control and strength over them now because addiction is a sign of physiological weakness.
Now that I have taught you the root cause of your addiction, you know what you must do to break free from this addiction and complete the goal of reducing porn consumption.
Next time you get the urge to watch porn or masturbate, remember to focus on the 3 things above and don't focus too much on mainstream medicine’s suggestion of “relying on willpower” too much because it's never worked for you (and they don’t really want to get you results) but my strategy will help you achieve your goal of breaking free.
The battle is never over.
YOU GOT THIS.
