If I'm not mistaken he advocates for the body running in a ketogenic state which obviously isn't ideal, his views on the corruption in the pharma/farming/nutrition sectors mean he's a damn sight better than the mainstream beat though and many of his beliefs align well with Rays views on bioenergetics (pufas, most additives, grains, fluoride, roundup etc).

Ah I unfortunately don't but thanks for letting me know.

@haidut I believe you posted a study many years back talking about how people with negative emotional behaviours (or maybe stress indicating hormone panels?) like being in the proximity of healthier people and the negativity can spread?

I can't remember the metric used to measure this but it's interesting that this may be the primary driver behind it physically, perhaps there is even a spectrum to this with people's preferred environment let alone humans preferred social circles.
For example John may love a beach even in colder weather because of the sea air replenishing some nutrient he lacks in elsewhere in his life. Same with people who love walking in forests compared to plains etc, I realize geography also plays a large part in this example.

IMO you'll have a hard time finding a company in the west that focuses on bioenergetics without nefarious/covetous intent. At least one that won't be muscled out by the rest.

Whoopsies

@Milk-Destroyer l-dopa or tyrosine with sunlight maybe?

@Milk-Destroyer I may be wrong but I loosely remember it being something to do with Serotonin and Dopamine being conversely related but also staying within a certain range of each other?
So at higher doses Cypro drops Serotonin off a cliff which surges Dopamine to a point but if Serotonin falls too far Dopamine also reduces with it, dopamine should always remain higher though (providing there is adequate nutrition/rest of course otherwise it's adrenaline time).

Fyi good chance I have remembered/understood this wrong though.

@mavuue you may find it's spiking your adrenals where it's dropping cortisol and you have no other hormones to fill the gap and it may not be a timing issue. Cypro typically saps the energy of people initially making it hard to get out of bed and focus. Maybe try taking it at the same time but eat a good portion of carbs/fat with it and see how you go?

There's a new Joe Rogan podcast (Caley and Calley) which sum up Peats views on the medical industrial complex quite well and talk a lot on how Trump/RFK are looking to tackle the systemic corruption in it that has up eating crap and taking poison pills, if that camp doesn't have Peaters they certainly share a lot of his philosophy.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy can you provide the source for that for context?

A couple of boiling kettles down the drain help me get rid of most if not all of it.

I'm not an expert by any means but wouldn't this ultimately desensitize the 5ar site meaning it wouldn't react to normal amounts of preg/prog for quite some time after? Be careful with this you may end up with far more severe side effects. As the previous poster alluded to finasteride is a horrible drug, best to avoid.

Also I remember reading something about how tyrosine is converted to dopamine (which will drop serotonin) when sunlight is directed at the scalp so get some sun to improve your results.

@Cezar4911 when taking anti serotonin substances the first things I notice are an increase in stamina (lung function), and slight increases in definition in my eyesight (like going from 480p to 720p) and smell.

If you tend to converse between yourself in your head that also tends to subside allowing to be more in the moment. These are using things like cypro though which have very strong anti serotonin effects so I'm not sure what you may notice first.

It was odd how when Charlie went on his wobbly one the feelings his absolute disrespect evoked in me. Couldn't give a crap about his dietary changes and recommendations but the way he tried to twist Peats works to suit himself and almost as if he was waiting for him to die to do it...heartbreaking.

It's very heartwarming to hear that there is at least some justice over this. While I will continue to honour Peat privately I hope there's never another forum started in his name, I never once got the gist that he was about anything other than the science and his almost deity status caused so much crap I personally feel he would probably have just rolled his eyes at.

Rest in Peace Ray Peat, I'd be lucky to leave a mark on this world the way you have.

OP really going on with something to prove lol. Glad to see these people are getting such good results...would you have links to the original threads/ pictures per chance?

Also any idea why the first guy who grew it all back still wants a hair transplant?

@VehmicJuryman

Not to mention widespread SSRI poisoning, literal legally prescribed apathy and retardation.

There's a thread on Raypeatforum with thousands of replies which addresses this, I would link you but I'm banned, there were many protocols that seemed to fix the problem (testicle size as well as all/most sides) but the OP did very low dose HCG every other day for 6 months (I think 250iu), others were cycling testosterone, HCG and something called Clomid for faster results but doing that too rapidly can cause some serious mental side effects. There were many other less widely used protocols in the thread as well.

A search for HCG on that forum should bring the thread up.

@wrl Nice, you notice any differences between this and traditional Aspirin? I can see it's given to people with Aspirin sensitivities? I have been ingesting wintergreen oil currently which seems to work well but it has a really overpowering taste and god help you if you get some on your face.

@bio3nergetic Awesome, I'll give it a go.
