That’s impressive!!
I just Googled the symptoms of low GH. It strikes me how 1:1 the symptoms are with PFS
Vision impairment is also part of PFS btw. probably lack of one of there hormones that are produced by help of the 5ar.
You are right, to fix the gut is a good idea, but as the hormones, the mood and the lack of sleep affect the gut too it may be difficult.
Look into prebiotics, everything that has a lot of fiber, inulin is fine. Exercise is actually affecting the gut positively, just like meditation.
One of the best microbiome researchers Tim Spector says a healthy, diverse microbiome is mostly associated with the number of plants we eat. He says a healthy microbiom sees gets about 30 different plants a week. That seems a lot but if you count spices, tees and so on you can easily get more that 30 different plants a week. That’s what I do.
Bad for the microbiome are medication especially those changing the pH of the stomach, hard alcohol, McDonald’s (can reduce your microbiom diversity by 40% in less than 2 weeks if you eat fast food only), hard alcohol etc., antibiotics, you get it…
I personally stay away from suplements that contain living bacteria. It is just a few strains and for your body it is like an invasion of trillions of alien soldiers.
There is evidence that probiotics could also be harmful or less effective than prebiotics.
If you want cheap probiotics that have past the test of time go for joghurt, Kefir, temphe, pickles… People have eaten this for a long time and it’s more than just single strains.
