@S-Holmes far from clear. I would not say Peat was wrong.

Did you read the paper? They were using radioactive iodine. Lugols and radioiodine are not the same.

@Chud Can you tell us what dose you ran?

@sneedful what I meant to say is that everybody is eating bad quality foods, not just black people

is there any proof anywhere or even hint in any sort of data or observation about b6 occupying receptors for three months or is this just something dave “$400 bag of coffee” asprey says and then you repost here with zero further investigation to verify the claim or not ?

Follow-up/ update: I’ve looked into this a little more.

BDDE is the cross linking agent that they use to make the filler more durable. I’m going to look into taking care of that.

Beyond that, some people have set that the filler creates fibrotic tissue, and anti-fibrotic agents are being used by doctors to treat fillers. So that’s definitely a potential method for treatment, and I’m currently looking at Dissolve-It-All, DeFibron, and Ray’s healing marmalade.

I also think (just from my own experience and observations) that calcification is involved. Mainly because I’ve been seeing the are and my overall face shape improve after regularly taking more vitamin K.

Last, water retention seems to be a key element to this. I believe hyaluronic acid affects water regulation and causes some edema and swelling. I think that is a mechanism that the filler uses to “plump up”. Estrogen (opposing it) and potassium (supplying sufficient amounts) are going to be focuses here, with more future considerations.

That’s all for now. Trying to learn and get help as much as I can

@haidut
Even though I agree with everything you said, unfortunately we have no evidence of it from this study. As you may guess from my name, I know some things about fruitflies and their hormones. Basically, flies do not have a cortisol analogue, so in this case mifepristone acts as a progesterone antagonist. Flies change a lot their guts with reproduction to maximise egg production at the cost of their fitness/lifespan decrease. Basically, mifepristone blocks flies' progesterone (called juvenile hormone) and this prevents the remodelling of their intestine (which involves a reduction in mitochondrial efficiency). So blocking flies' progesterone or mTor has no additive effect as they both go towards the same direction reducing gut growth and turning flies into sterile.
Anyway, I hope this kind of studies will come soon in mice even though we know already the outcome ;). I hope that within a couple of years I will be able to start my own research group and I will get in touch with you! I'd love to think together new ways to test Peat 's principles or your compounds with my fruitflies!

@LucH I have translated the blog post and will run this candida protocol with caprylic acid included. Thanks for the info!

@SpaceManJim said in 3-4am waking:

Odd that nobody's mentioned it, especially after seeing your username, but...

How about salt?

Probably because he listed salt before bed under the things he has tried.

@the-MOUSE

Maybe the terminology is wrong but I think cutting out socials, music and doing what you proposed have incredible benefits. You can fix your life in a couple months if you actually try. Even if you avoid bad things before the evening you will see great results.

OP, I'd say the golden staples, especially for a beginner, are going to be something like resistance weight training 3x a week, and getting your daily step count up to 10k.

You can do these things gradually to reduce cortisol, but also don't be so afraid of it. Your body will adapt and recover if you're not an idiot. Weight training can start as 3 lifts, such as a push, a pull, and a leg exercise, done as 1 hard set towards failure after a warm-up set of each. That will be like 10-15 minutes in the gym, and honestly will give you 50% of the results as a "full" workout. Super time efficient. Then you can add additional sets, a fourth exercise, etc, as your body adapts. Whatever you work up to, I'd recommend capping your weight sessions at 40-60mins, longer than that and you're probably being time-inefficient or doing too much.

Same with walking or even jogging. These activities are completely fine and you don't need to worry about cortisol at all if you build up gradually based on what your body can handle. Start with 10 minutes of something every other day, then 15 mins, etc.

Use your sleep, energy levels, attentiveness, and body composition to gauge your cortisol response. Don't be afraid of short-term stress, it's chronic stress (e.g. for under-sleeping) that will mess you up. If anything, short bouts of acute stress are actually really good for your overall system ('hormesis').

@onliest Hahahaha when mom is calling you fat you probably took it a little too far.

I'm consuming all of those things probably just not enough. I get a good amount of fat from dairy and can tell it directly translate's to fat on the body but I feel like it's a healthy fat.

My workout's are also pretty intensive I love sprinting, jumping, and basketball so those burn a ton of cal's.

I watched the whole vid, was intrigued from the first few mins when he described a very intuitive and somewhat Peat-related approach: lots of carbs, lower stress, high agency lifestyle. He then goes into his staple meal being red meat and rice, plus unlimited fruit, which seems like a pretty solid way to run one's diet.

But it also made me think about how just being active every day is such a huge factor in one's body composition. This guy, like many YT fitness influencers, don't have "real" and sedentary jobs, including stressful commutes. They just live a "more natural" life, are on their feet way more, always moving, don't have low-grade stress associated with constant use of Microsoft Office products (lol!).

I've noticed this effect pretty pronounced in myself. I'm an office worker by day with side business ambitions I work on during evenings and weekends when possible, so it's a lot of 'modern day office work'. I also do intense weight training 3x a week and a few bouts of cardio via martial arts, so I'm in reasonable shape - strong with slightly visible abs and ~15% bodyfat.

But when I'm not working, not having an alarm clock, for extended periods of time, my physique just takes on that extra ~25% of quality that's hard to describe - everything feels and looks tighter, more abs visible while at same body weight, energy levels and lifts are maybe 10% better automatically, etc. I tolerate any and all foods way better too. I really get the sense that if I focused on living life this way for more than a few weeks on vacation here or there, I could be making these dumb "here's my life as a fitness guy" videos lol. Just being on my feet walking some European city on vacation for a few days does incredible things compared to standard north American life, and people like Bill live closer to the former than the latter everyday.

Not meant to brag, but rather to say that I believe most anyone could quickly and continuously improve their physique and physical well-being if they make appropriate trade-offs in life. And I'm sure those of us stuck in the corporate North American grind can continue to find and apply principles to improve our health and fitness too.

@VehmicJuryman said in Ray Peat name drop during American Communist Party convention speech:

Also, lol @ the double standard of saying that the USSR was justified in reclaiming the Russian Empire's territories in Poland but Germany wasn't justified in reclaiming the German Empire's territories in Poland. The situation is literally identical, but like the liberals of 1939 you give a pass to your ideologically preferred side.
.

The USSR would have been jusitifed in LIBERATING all of Europe, you fucking retard. Justification has nothing to do with it.

You are so fucking stupid.
