@Mr-X He's probably a nocebo.

Generally, chamomile increases testosterone levels in men with PCOS, and lowers them in women with PCOS.

Chamomile per se stabilizes the hormonal balance.

@erva-mate said in how to excess meat protein affect metabolism ? lethargy, no motivation....:

@Fructose yes, I was lactose intolerant, not digesting even a glass, I increased the starches and reduced the fat and I'm consuming 750 ml per day, I can only consume milk after 2 pm.... I'm going to try to reduce protein and increase carbohydrates and improve milk consumption, reduce or eliminate meat...

This will be helpful

@Fructose “The ratio of calcium to phosphate is very important; that’s why milk and cheese are so valuable for weight loss, or for preventing weight gain. For people who aren’t very active, low fat milk and cheese are better, because the extra fat calories aren’t needed.” - Ray Peat

@erva-mate If you don't eat dairy at all, this may be one of the reasons. Phosphorus unbalanced with calcium can wreak havoc at the physiological level.

@erva-mate Ray Peat mentioned 2-6 tablespoons of gelatin per day. You can also make bone broth. With any meat consumption, there must be gelatin to balance the unfavorable amino acids.

@erva-mate excess tryptophan, methionine and cysteine, which strongly cause thyroid inhibition, depression and carbohydrate metabolism disorders. It will be advisable to limit meat and introduce an appropriate amount of gelatin.

@highseabasch
depends. A calorie deficit can be put to good use if done wisely. Supplementing calories from sugar and eliminating PUFA should certainly help minimize the negative effect of the deficit on the hormonal balance.

Contains salicylic acid (plus).

Some studies have shown that willow bark extract is genotoxic, but there is no strong evidence for this.

The estrogenic effect may be a problem, as it has certain affinities for phytoestrogens.

@hyukan
probably all teas on the market have fluoride. Just choose one that has little of it, like chamomile.

@STH Rheumatoid arthritis is probably caused by a bacterium. I have Crohn's disease (caused by very similar or even the same bacteria as rheumatoid arthritis) and I cured it by eliminating PUFA and focusing on my gut. Perhaps intervention in this area will help you.

If you do not tolerate casein well, it is related to insufficient functioning of the intestines.

This great study proves that chamomile can treat PCOS. Peat wrote that the causative factor of polycystic ovary syndrome is estrogen, which chamomile effectively reduces and significantly increases the level of progesterone.

Interestingly, many studies have shown that it actually lowers testosterone levels, but only in sick women. The opposite has been observed in men (increased testosterone levels)

This shows that chamomile has truly versatile effects. It has been known in herbal medicine for thousands of years.

,,In the study by Johari et al. entitled investigating the hydroalcoholic extract of chamomile on hypothalamus - pituitary- ovary axis of rats, chamomile caused significant reduction in the level of estrogen and significant elevation in progesterone. It also resulted in significant decline in the number of graph and primary follicles (16). Thus, chamomile is a phytoestrogen with antiestrogenic properties (lowering estrogen levels). This plant can function as a selective estrogen receptor, and this property can be harnessed in regulating endogenous estrogens in individuals with PCOS who have high estrogen levels. Chamomile has also progesterone effects which is effective in treating PCOS."

,,A review study by Arentz et al. with the aim of examining the effects of PCOS management and treatment using herbs showed regulation of ovulation, improvements in metabolic hormones as well as rate of fertility, oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, and hyperandrogenism in PCOS patients (17)."

,,Overall, chamomile therapeutic regimen could relatively be effective in improving the hormonal parameters as well as oligomenorrhea and hirsutism in patients suffering from PCOS. Thus, based on the results of the present study, use of chamomile plant as a simple, inexpensive, and effective measure could be proposed for improving and treating patients with PCOS after confirmation by further studies with larger sample sizes."

Perhaps chamomile also has a prothyroid effect, as it is known that hypothyroidism is crucial in the pathophysiology of ovarian cysts.

This study shows that chamomile has a thyroid-protective effect due to its antioxidant nature.

,, In conclusion, both Matricariachamomilla extract and metformin ameliorated hypothyroidism associated with PCOS through an antioxidant and antiapoptotic mechanism."

@coffee Warsaw is not an attractive place. The Tatra Mountains mentioned by the previous speaker are much better.

As for me, I would like to live in the tropics or high in the mountains. I am Polish and I often visit the Tatra Mountains.

I could live in the Alps, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or Russia; Dagestan or Ichkeria.

Dagestan seems very interesting. They have many nutritional connections to the classic Peat diet.

@juuls-for-jews As for the classic Ray Peat diet, I think so. There may be a problem with gelatin, ice cream, or oysters. Liver can be kosher as long as it has met Jewish slaughter standards.

@13 Peat will live forever in our hearts, and his legacy serves as a guide for us.

@eric this is most likely. So just drink milk with lots of honey. Fructose effectively rebuilds glycogen because it is metabolized in the liver.

@eric Waking up at 3 a.m. is a classic symptom of hyperactive adrenal glands. Peat's diet should help. It has helped me significantly and my sleep is very regenerating.

In one clinical trial, milk with honey before bed showed high effectiveness compared to placebo and sleep medications. I'll send them later.

@djledda I noticed that when I drink a lot of Red Bull during hot detox baths, I feel dizzy. When I don't drink, I can sit for up to 2 hours at 40 degrees without any problems.

I think the reason is citric acid.

@eric Milk and honey before sleep
