Should I start a substack, or continue posting exclusive nostr content? Topics would be about nutrition and metabolic health (for now).

Both maybe? Check out #hablanews

I prefer Nostr, but of course it's up to you. You can do both if you think you will reach more people.

By the way, thanks to your posts I have removed grains and starches (potatoes) from my diet and I am feeling way less bloated. It took a few hard days to adapt, though; hard withdrawal symptoms. I can see how withdrawal can be hard for drug addicts 😀. It hit me when you mentioned that wheat/grains have psychoactive substances. Could you expand on that on future posts?

Thank you very much for your kind comment, and I apologize for the belated reply. I will just explain this concept to you in this reply. It is fairly simple to understand. Upon digestion of gluten, which is the main wheat protein, special polypeptides (just smaller proteins) are released. These proteins are called exorphins, and they cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to opioid receptors. Every time you eat bread, you get a mild euphoric effect, similar to the effects of endorphins after a workout.

There's even some studies suggesting this might exacerbate the condition of schizophrenic patients, but I haven't verified these particular studies.

As long as you cross post, I don’t see a reason not to have multiple channels!
