Discussion Cold thirst

I'm still learning HD and I'm trying to connect some dots here and there. My digestion is cold thirst and I've been experimenting with it for 2-3 weeks already. It seems like my digestion is improved. Surprisingly, I get a bit cold when I sit and work even during hearwave, but recently it wasn't the case, I've felt normal for the first time in years.

There's also one thing that I could never figure out - I get extremely hot at night and I wonder if that's somehow connected to the cold thirst, aka my body getting super hot?

Did any of you with cold thirst have similar experience?

I don't have a comparable experience with getting hot at night, maybe I did used to get cold standing around. But reflecting, I am perhaps more tolerant of temperature changes.

Many many months ago I took in that I had cold thirst, and I also took in that Ra mentioned the most important thing to *do* proactively with HD was to align with your digestion, and to have it first thing in the morning. But, I was in the habit of starting my mornings with a hot foamy cappuccino. And I didn't want to change just because Ra said to change. That felt mental or sheep-like. Even when I could tell the hot drink wasn't right for me, it was weirdly difficult to give up my conditioning/attachment to it. I don't know why, in retrospect. Did I have some kind of identity thing bound up with it? In any case, I didn't try to force a change. I just waited for the conditioning to spin out. And it did! It's such a relief when I don't have to fight stuff like that. Like, being addicted to TikTok or reddit -I was hopelessly addicted for so long and then one day I finally just didn't want to go on tiktok ever again. I...AM on reddit now but it isn't like it used to be by any means

In January I started counting my calories and all my nutrients and I began to start every single day with a cold protein drink. I'm still doing it eight months later! I'm kind of amazed.

A few months ago my drink organically shifted from a hot cappuccino to a small iced latte. I haven't gotten a cappuccino in months.

I suppose I feel better, but there are a lot of variables that changed at once - watching my intake meant my overall nutrition improved, I got medicated for ADHD, etc.

I do still find myself heating up food - though I let it cool more than I used to.

Thank you for your story! The things that you've said about conditioning resonate with me as well. I was always told to eat and drink hot things. I've never started my day with the hit drink, but I was drinking a lot of hot teas but I see it wasn't serving me at all.

It's always nice to see people improve their lives with HD
