Hello Lotus,

I read with interest your approach to managing progesterone side-effects with Allopregnanolone instead of GABA, considering the latter's poor metabolism in humans. Have you considered the potential benefits of adjusting your diet, specifically increasing protein and saturated fats to elevate LDL levels while keeping triglycerides (TGs) low? This dietary strategy might offer the mental clarity and productivity boost you're seeking, akin to the effects of Allopregnanolone but through nutritional means. From my experience, maintaining strict adherence to this regimen has notably enhanced my mental performance. It might be worth exploring as an alternative approach to managing your side-effects.
