Just as a disclaimer, I have not been officially diagnosed with any condition as of yet other than mild dyslexia. I have an appointment coming up at the Psychiatrists to assess my ADHD symptoms, though symptoms of Asperger's/ASD might also be a topic of discussion.

Ideally, we like to think that everyone on more controversial boards like TRP are experts in the field of game, with women throwing themselves at the feet for even a sniffle of the d.

The truth is that this really isn't the case. The overwhelming majority of TRP are here to try to improve, carrying that vital awareness that unless we do so then we'll continue to live in mediocrity.

Being proactive with your diet is a great way to start. You don't have to go full carnivore like Jordan Peterson, unless your autoimmune problems are that bad of course. But every little change helps. For gym-goers it's probably the most difficult. You gotta understand that those carbs that you're eating to bulk will eventually fuck you up. Deadlifting in Nikes before eating pizza is a sure way to fuck up your joints by 35.

I strongly believe it is important to also disclose that Autism is deeply linked with inflammation from which many people unknowingly suffer (arthritis, IBS, and psoriasis being examples of more common symptoms).

I myself suffer from deep-rooted autoimmune problems, with more severe problems coming from my mothers side with more behavioral issues stemming from my father's. My mother has Hashimoto's disease, Celiac's disease, IBS, and suffered alopecia at a young age.

Her mother has Osteoperosis, while her brother's son became the national karate champ of his age group. He had severe alopecia and had no hair or finger nails by the time won. Inspirational little shit.

The majority of people are affected by some form of chronic inflammation; some in debilitating pain while others appear to be symptomless, though this is rare due to many common symptoms being unrecognised as inflammatory issues. Go and speak to as many 60+ year olds and you can and you'll be shocked by how many of them suffer from some sort of arthritic pain.

For me, a strict diet & exercise regime are absolutely necessary to avoid inflammatory symptoms. Higher levels of inflammation have shown to be linked to mental health conditions from depression & ADHD to schizophrenia & autism, and is a huge contributing factor to emotional stability.

One thing I've monitored in myself is that a lot of my inflammatory symptoms are linked in with histamine levels. Histamine is one of the primary molecules involved with the immune system and an inflammatory response. The simplest way to put it is higher histamine = more inflammatory symptoms. One day you could feel like an absolute alpha god while the next, an anxious mess limping in pain. I confirmed these symptoms were histamine-related after doing an experiment with modafinil, that seems to fire up almost all of my symptoms at once. It's the reason I'd rather get prescribed concerta over giving myself extreme Asperger's just to get something done.

Tendinitis, joint pain, brain fog, fatigue, and social retardedness. I also get the same problems from taking protein powders with L-histidine.

Now here's where things get tricky. One of my symptoms of high histamine is what I can only describe as being in a constant state of sensory overload. Everything seems bright & flashy while maintaining a conversation becomes nearly impossible; pretty nightmarish actually, especially when speaking to girls.

I've always suffered with social withdrawal with my mother recalling as how I've been since 3. I'm now more than convinced that high levels of inflammation were behind my struggle to have conversations, leading to withdrawal. Nobody likes awkwardness, which gave me the perfect reason to withdraw completely.

Even if I do get an ASD/Asperger's diagnosis alongside the ADHD next week, being aware that symptoms are related to a systemic inflammation is a responsibility, regardless of what your symptoms are. You

Luckily for us we're living at the exact point in time where inflammation is being linked to these conditions, autism being just another example. Have you ever wondered why behavior and emotion-regulating problems were almost non existent hundreds of years ago? And when they were, those afflicted were either "hysterical" or possessed by demons?

Only in the past two centuries has the food degenerated more than ever before in history, while a substance shown to be 8x more addictive than cocaine, in mice, is added to almost everything?

Unless you're running a strict diet like Paleo then it's more than likely that you're ingesting sugar on a daily basis. This is a huge reason why fad diets like Veganism aren't actually helping as much as we're led to believe, with some people actually triggering more autoimmune problems leading to higher levels of inflammation. How often do you meet an emotionally stable vegan?

A weak diet is one of the most blue-pilled ways you can live your life. Not only does it show lack of self-control but also it will come back and bite you in the ass. Autoimmune diseases are something you develop. Genetics only increase your likelihood to develop problems, as with type 2 diabetes.

Foods like gluten expand your gut lining, allowing particles inside. Your immune system doesn't like this. In fact you can develop an allergy/intolerance to almost any food because your body will start to recognise it as an invader, kickstarting an inflammatory response every time you eat it.

I actually trialed this out using a site called Intolerance Lab. I picked a food to eat daily in which I knew I had no issues with, Biltong. A few months later I ran the test. Not only said I had developed an intolerance to specifically dried beef, but actually most things I had been eating in my diet.

From rice, eggs, turkey, to even green fucking tea - a supplement I had been taking in pill-form. In fact I specifically recall at that time that eggs used to block up my sinuses, making it hard to breathe through my nose. After abstaining from them for a few months, they no longer cause an issue.

So what is healthy? The reason I suggest Paleo is that it's most in line with what we are supposed to eat which coincidentally happens to be anti-inflammatory in its entirety. You will be more confident, perform better at the gym (you really don't need to load up on carbs), and be able to think much more clearly.

Meat with veggies should be the core of your diet. Thrown in a few carbs on your training days and you're good to go. No processed shit. If you're just starting out, going gluten-free is probably the easiest way to begin. Not only does gluten shred your gut and spike your insulin levels, but it also screws up your microbiome.

If you want to step up your game, try experimenting with one-meal-a-day and Fasting. Fasting encourages the process autophagy, in which the body recycles unnecessary cells from fat cells to viruses.

The fact that I even discovered how much diet affects you is a god-send. I had been transitioning from my cut-diet during what felt like the best time in my life, to bulking. Within two weeks, all of my inflammatory symptoms returned. The only changes I had made at the time were adding gluten and milk back into my diet.

Most importantly, do not throw away a healthy diet for women. Women often make it clear that they like to be wined and dined before 69'd. Don't be that guy who starts ordering pizza every Saturday because he has female company now. Maintain your frame. If she make fun of you for it, agree and amplify. Over time she'll get curious and start trialling it. Give her a few compliments on how she's calmer and looks younger to get your approval. If you want to be an alpha male then eat like an actual alpha male.
