Have you tried fasting? I have found it an effective antidepressant and stimulant. There are also some interesting health benefits (mostly to do with autophagy, cellular and subcellular cleanup mechanisms).

But yeah, I am also ill suited to modern life, and I'm working towards being able to spend as much time in the woods as I need.

I haven't actually tried fasting. The longest I've gone without eating is something like 20 hours.

I should give fasting a try though, I believe in the research. My hesitation has been that I am pretty low BMI. I seem to struggle to keep weight on even if I'm eating a normal amount.
