Creating a "Peaty" shop sounds super exciting, especially if it's niche-focused. Mumble 1.3.3 could be handy for smooth team chats during setup or coordination. Best of luck with the launch!

@gentlepotato

Do you have a link to him recommending saturated fat with sugary foods? I've seen him recommend fat with starch, but not with sugar.

Unfortunately, no.

I don't know if I updated the thread about it, but I mentioned trying this, think it was in the fall. Without fat definitely feels better for me, at the moment.

Totally, everyone’s liver is in a different place. Also, there is never announced how much fat is consumed. Maybe when I say I’m feeling good on fat+sugar, I’m using like half the fat you are, or maybe you’re half my size, etc.

For me it's all about exploring. RP's suggestions are not recommendations to follow like rules, they're helpful starting points for exploration.

Agreed!

Also aspirin with vit k to improve glucose oxidation

…so many of us haven't gotten better just follow his advice.

To be honest, and it sounds like argumentative defensiveness, but I believe after my own experiences as well as many others, that people autistically follow his advice, but don’t know how to incorporate it. Yes, there’s a difference. I used like 40mcg daily of t3 for 6 months, not advised by him, but in an effort to heal my own liver; Huge bolus’s of progesterone tipped the scales, as well. I realized that while I was saying I was eating healthy and peaty, I was actually getting like 3x the needed daily protein, and twice the needed daily fat. When I thought I was eating enough saturated fat to aid digestion, it should’ve been a little butter and beef fat, I should NOT have been so paranoid of any amounts of pufa’s in animal fats and egg yolks — cholesterol solves most low-fat digestion problems.
— Ray couldn’t help me with these problems, they were my own faulty perceptions, and I read a lot of his works at that.

Aspirin and vit K; sure, can be helpful interventions. But I think for me a huge part of the issue has been that my body has an imbalance in cortisol, and therefore isn't able to store much glucose.

This is another one of those things… aspirin is dose dependent, and many people could be healed from it but are using it wrong, and that’s an important factor. I’ve come to respect Danny’s claiming it’s a Swiss Army knife now, more than when I was first attempting to use it and would give up for a year of something... some of these things can take years to manifest.

A simple daily carrot did so much for me after I got my temps and pulse in order, but before that, it hindered.

Can aspirin and vit K help? Maybe, but it's like bandages on a bullet wound. Supplementing glucose seem to actually bypass the issue/root cause, allows the immune system and liver to work better, and I hope this will lead to recovery.

Agreed, these are all super conditional/symptom specific efforts, and there can be different answers depending…
Pounding oj/milk/progesterone/aspirin/carrot salad, without considering various factors, which means sometimes a certain order spanning years, is to “cargo cult” the problem.

@bigdeuce Peaty basics do help but not always.

On the topic of GNM,

Dr. John Sarno seems to have been on the same trajectory as GNM and/or Dr. Hamer. To Dr. Sarno, pain is initiated by emotions, is processed by the nervous system, and appears as pain in various affected body parts. Tension myositis syndrome (TMS) usually involves Upper back, lower back, or buttocks. I've seen some Peatoids link to him and it is worth a listen.

@Amazoniac

Had not heard of Typora before. Thank you.

I guess it depends on what is meant by "brainwashing", right? I started to sort of see cracks and lies in the mainstream from around 13 but it was also the start of a terrible depression streak for me and I was FAR away from being healtht or having a good metabolism.

You could try to contact Georgi/haidut. His own company is probably way too small, but he should have some contacts and a pretty good overview.

I definitely wouldn't base my decision or research on what a random TikToker has to say, even if they pitch out math as their evidence.

In a situation like this my suggestion is to hunt down more professional research.

As for infra red vs narrow range red vs incandescent, there's a few differences obviously, each one has it's rightful place for certain folks.

Among fats, polyunsaturated are the most deuterium depleted ones.

I think when Ray was experimenting with low protein, he was eating high carb, lower fat.

That's not to say that's ideal. He's also said up to 50% fat as calories could be ok. Also that around the same percentage for each macro is probably good. As far as I know he hasn't really recomended any fixed macros.

@Ixionereus
was also my thoughts. But IDK who of the guys here can do it.

During my time 'Peating' I have been in what I would call a "high energy state" many times but I'd say like 95% of these times pale in comparison to the 5% where I feel absolutely amazing and like a higher power has suddenly blessed me with immense health.

I recall someone saying that Ray once said having good thyroid function means you can "think the way you want to about different things" and so I'd categorize a healthy high energy state in this way; feeling great and being able to think in new ways you hadn't previously.

In work environments, you will see people who seem to have abundant energy and are able to carry out their work very quickly. But if you look a little closer, you might see that the majority of these people are running completely on stress and if there is any extended gaps in the flow of their busy-ness they become completely miserable.

Language exposure aka language acquisition via input. Look it up, there’s been studies on this. It’s normally how children/babies pick up languages but adults can do it too.

I'm pleased to see this purposeful Peat-inspired competition setup. I know not everyone on this board appreciates the pro-social benefits of competition, but I do. I hope you get lots of entries and we can all benefit from reading insights generated on this thread.

@LinDaiyu , Do I remember from RPF that you're New York City based or from my home state of Iowa? Good to see Iowa get a mention and, like yerrag, was keen to learn more about the tech/devices you listed as rewards!

@aeblyve Yeah. There does seem to be still too much serotonin and perhaps a smidge of PTSD.
Although I appreciate your need to make a living and ambition in your field.
Hmmm. How to find a balance.

With regards to being solicited for money, I had to do something about that too. Panhandlers are not that aggressive in NYC, where we were living. They are a little more far gone and you can just walk passed them and they don't persist. When we moved to downtown Chicago, I was stunned at how aggressive and persistent the panhandlers and people with clipboards were. 1) I changed my body composition with aikido. That postural change made them either skip over me or not persist. 2) I know this sounds mean, but this is the other extremely effective thing I learned to do to squelch them. As soon as they start their first syllable, I say, "can't help ya out" while keep moving. And don't look back. Sometimes you hear them say, "Geez", or "your shit don't stink" or "what a bitch." But mostly they just skip to the next person. If you walk in a lupine manner and say "can't help ya out" without skipping a beat in your pace, you will not be solicited.
I would recommend buying Diamant from idealabs.com. While sitting at your computer, you can rub in a few drops on your temple or jugular. Wow. Then go for a walk and see all the beautiful colors. Regardless of your schedule, you simply have to take time to walk in the sunshine. Imagine you have a dog that needs walk. You can afford to take several 5 minute walks a day. Go get a coffee. Say hello to shop owners.
