Ok guys, here's the situation. My uncle/training partner is a 65 year old diabetic. He has been blind his entire life, but he's always been the happiest, most outgoing and enthusiastic person I've known. He's the one that made me go down to his garage, 5 days a week, every week, no matter how hard my fat 16year old butt wanted to quit. He's one of my closest friends and someone I consider as a 'father-figure'. Im really trying to pull him out of this depression he's in. Medically, he's fine. His bloodwork, bp, etc.. are all great. He has some slight financial prob's, but nothing drastic. Im assuming that the stroke one of his best friends had is causing him to really re-evaluate everything and also adding a great deal of stress. He hasnt been able to sleep. He's barely been able to eat, and even worse, he has quit training all together(this is how I know he's really in trouble).
Im going to do all I can and recently I made him a custom mix I came up with for anxiety reduction and sleep improvement. I capped him a mix of:valerian root, phenibut, and bulk powerfull. It helped him a great deal with both. The problem was that on the 2nd day he took it, his bloodsugar dropped extremely low, so now, he wont use anymore of it. I have a few things in mind, and Im hoping you guys can chime in as well. Here's what I was thinking(please tell me if you know of any prob's that could happen since he's diabetic):
GABA
5-HTP(or L-trytophan)
L-theanine
Rhodiola Rhosea
I've thought of several different combo's and single supps, but this is what Im thinking of giving him next. I'd love to hear what you guys have used with success. Thanks.
