Glucose loading cures everything?
-
I only went halfway as I was tired of listening to brain issues being all about glucose. I didn't get to the part about the brain resetting. What is involved in resetting the brain, if I may ask?

I’ve been doing it for about two weeks now and have experienced many benefits. I’ve always had issues with oral health, but my teeth are strong and I have no sensitivity in my mouth since starting. My eyesight has improved, (not that it was ever bad, but it seems sharper and my eyes seem hydrated). My sleep is the biggest game changer. I’m someone who will often take an antihistamine once, maybe twice a week, and I seem to need none to have a deep restful sleep. I mean, falling asleep fast, not even turning over in my sleep, and waking up in the same position feeling refreshed. I’m also dreaming more frequently, (or at least remembering them more frequently). Oh, and my verbal fluency has improved dramatically. I seem to have much less brain fog. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
Youtube VideoThe video is quite long
So I didn’t viewCame here to say
If im making the correct assumption with the big idea
Peat spoke favorably of this idea
If I can find what im specifically referring to today
I will post hereBut here is a start:

@Peatful In that clip Ray's talking about the stress of hypoglycemia and that's something that can occur after a very large dose of plain glucose as the body overreacts following periods of hyperglycemia. In fact RP would promote fructose partly because it could suppress the blood glucose spike.
Thx
That’s not what im pointing out
The big takeaway
Besides stable blood sugar- which is paramount as well- but another conversationThe big takeaway is how essential sugar (which the body converts or uses and or stores as glucose)
is for not only thyroid function but liver function as wellBack on rpf
Lots of folks couldn’t wrap their head around white sugar being therapeutic or medicinal or healing or essentialFruit?
Sure
It has potassium blah blah blahEven in the Peat community
I saw white sugar avoidancePoint being
If some guy on a long video is singing the accolades of sugar -> glucose
This has been a foundation with Ray all along
Nothing new to see here -

@Peatful It is certainly Ray Peat themed protocol. I've read a lot of the posts on the forum where it's being promoted and it's incredible that nobody has mentioned this even though the forum is named after him. It's absurd.
Oh really?
They are touting this video or this guy’s work not Ray’s?

@Peatful Exactly. Ray Peat doesn't even come up in the conversation. They've scrubbed him.
They never understood him.

I haven't quite figured out how or why the brain downregulates sugar usage following every stress (any kind of stress). Stress seems to trigger lipolysis (vs glycolysis) and the damage is CUMULATIVE. Is this why stress kills? I've ordered his latest book. Hopefully he addresses this in depth.

Peat talk about this plenty
But not cohesively
Like contained to a book chapter or one certain newsletter etc -
@Peatful Right, but I don't understand why the brain restricts it's own fuel consumption following a stress, and is never able to completely recover (without glucose loading).

@evan-hinkle Thanks for the great report! Has the glucose loading caused any weight gain?
-
What kind of problems did you have?
Do you then brush your teeth or rinse them after taking glucose?
-
A clue, by Georgi/Haidut
-
@S-Holmes no weight gain, in fact, a little lost recently, (5lbs) but I’ve added 800 calories… Ray always said carbs increase the metabolism!
-
Why do so many athletes develop ALS? Multiple injuries can apparently trigger unrestrained, sustained lipolysis. So Georgi and Dr. Peat would probably agree with glucose loading. This is very interesting and provides solid info about what happens to the body when it experiences stress (any kind).
