15yo Son on Ray Peat Protocol

[williambjr]

@alfredoolivas I am taking him to get bloodwork soon and looking at t3, rt3 and t4 his tsh Isnt low its just slightly. Peat recommended pregnenlone and t3 in another developing male to “extend” growing years and get rid of estrogen.

@BioEclectic thank you I was thinking of buying penicillin for him as he has slight acne.

[alfredoolivas]

@williambjr yeah but 75mcg is wayyyyy too much for a 15 year old. It's probably catabolic at those doses

[williambjr]

@alfredoolivas no 25mcg split 3x daily

Hello

Terrible advice here
Sorry

He is not eating enough
And taking too many supplements

Peating is about mitochondrial respiration
About a youthful metabolism

Let him eat freely
No PUFA
Again
I can’t emphasize this enough
Let him eat abundantly
A healthy appetite

Not restricted
No orthorexia
And at 15
No exogenous hormones

Without any more information this is FUD. Its possible to have not enough of a certain hormone even if you're otherwise very healthy and pro metabolic.

Is your son obsese? If yes, Niacin 500mg q1h significantly lowered serum FFA and increased GH in children with obesity.
