@GlucoseGal of course, wish you the best. Honestly, I wonder if a lot of people who come to the Peat space take baggage from past dietary ideas with them — my insistence on fat for satiety from my carnivore days definitely contributed to weight gain — but if I had just put less butter in my rice and ate more rice and less chocolate, I don’t think I’d have gained 40 lbs Peating — and of course I got on actual thyroid meds (not glandulars) well after the weight gain.

@GlucoseGal I know I’ve been there too, but also take it from me, that when on proper thyroid meds and their amounts, it’s harder to gain weight — definitely begin first checking on temps and pulse before gobbling down more food. It may be something as simple as more palatable foods — more salt to enhance flavored dishes comes to mind. And, aside from the egg yolk and a couple teaspoons of butter/coconut oil a day, you can always dial down fat intake to prevent weight gain.

@GlucoseGal interesting. I learned from a group chat with Danny that it can be a little difficult and also very important, to maintain high adequate cholesterol.

An egg yolk a day should give you a huge amount of cholesterol, but you may still need higher sugar sources (like juice) to maintain adequately high cholesterol throughout the day. Don’t ask me why it just works — it was a Peat concept.

Something other Peaty therapists have noted is that people often just don’t eat enough on thyroid.

@GlucoseGal it shouldn’t be stressing your adrenals unless your cholesterol is too low

@Jaffe wow. Thanks for sharing

@tubert I think it’s a case by case basis. I’m sure a lot of folks don’t have the same problem, but I’m sure many people with lifelong nutrient deficiencies will definitely have regional deficiencies that get ameliorated by topical vitamins.

But hey, placebo or not, that feeling’s worth a placebo, hah…

@Jaffe before I dive in, are you saying the results have been permanent with that? Not doubting

@DavidPS hahaha that’s awesome. Yes agreed… thanks for the share

@DavidPS

@16charactersitis great, thanks!

@LucH nice

@LucH

@cs3000 awesome

@LucH good one. Yeah definitely need vit K with it!!

"Ray Peat: I've been thinking that with a concentrated glucose solution, you could probably activate hair growth just by keeping your scalp moistened with glucose."

https://dannyroddy.substack.com/p/lost-conversations-with-ray-peat

"...excessive glucose is able to increase the expression of hair inductive genes and elongation of hair shaft."
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7078220/

In the above study they used a concentration of 10mM to boost hair growth and mimick excessive glucose . That is just 180mg per 100ml . The issue is that the hair shaft sot relatively deep in the scalp and not much /everything will reach the shaft so to account for the loss i would go for 50mM or approximately 1g or 1% of glucose per 100ml .

EDIT : just saw they used d-glucose aka Dextrose . I wanted to use sucrose (table sugar) but I don't think sucrose can substitute as the scalp lacks the enzymes to split up table sugar into glucose and fructose and sucrose is a much bigger molecule, making absorption even trickier

On top of that i would use 30% percent alcohol and 10% propylene glycol which sterilize the solution and help absorption and penetration. This is inspired by the formula of Minoxidil, which seems to be absorbed well.

So the updated formula would look like this :

30% ethanol
10% propylene glycol
1% NMN
1% Apple polyphenols
1% of dextrose
Rest: Water
(add taurine ,caffeine,... to your liking)

Total Solids:

• Dextrose: 1 g
• Apple Peel Polyphenols: 1 g
• NMN: 1 g
• Total: 3 g

Total Liquids:

• Water: 70 mL
• Ethanol: 20 mL
• Propylene Glycol: 10 mL
• Total: 100 mL

@Gaston

Bro that’s a king post

@Jaffe I’ve read that that’s not permanent, however. Do you know of anecdotes that experienced permanence?

What is known, is that increasing androgens can increase penis size — androgenic vitamins are always safe and worth a shot imo.

At least some of us learned in the process of topical application of d/k, that our wee-wees were basically anhedonic, and now the world is different in the best way ever… lol. I’d love for girls to try topical on their private places as well…

Hey guys, could you share any anti-inflammatory substances Peat has suggested? Thanks!

Off the top of my head:
Cyproheptadine
t3
Progesterone

@evan-hinkle I throw about half a teaspoon in a 16 oz bottle of oj. I do dabs so they melt apart faster or I can suck down a clump with every couple gulps. I don’t refrigerate my oj on the day I drink it. Leave it in my car and the coconut oil melts fine. No need to mix.

@LucH interesting. B1 can also help heal lining, correct?

Has everyone forgotten Ray’s suggestion of eating sat fat with a sugary food to maximize timespan of stable blood sugar?

I’d be interested in hearing the glucoose loaders try that one and see which one makes them feel better. I throw dobs of coconut oil into a bottle of Oj to take with me to work and it does wonders.

Also aspirin with vit k to improve glucose oxidation
