@LetTheRedeemed Yes of course, you're right, she is receiving mental health therapy as well as acupuncture to help with her nervous system. The nutrition and supplementation is to potentiate and help integrate it all together. Thanks for your contribution

Hey guys, I have a friend who was recently SA'ed and her body+nervous system is still reeling from the attack. She's having nightmares and waking up super tired and drained. I wanted to pool knowledge on this not only for her but for others who experience any kind of trauma and want incorporate peaty principles into their recovery.
Clearly the body is very stressed and Peating in general will help her recover as with the increase of metabolism and youth hormones (Prog, DHEA, etc.) will allow her body to heal. However, I want to get some specific things and big levers she can pull to see results relatively quick, she has no idea about peat and she doesn't take diet that seriously. I want to show her some big levers to ease her into the Peaty Paradigm. Any help is much appreciated!
Things I've told her to include:
-magnesium, topical and oral
-increasing sugar from fruits and juice
-blue lotus tea
-emphasizing supplements/teas that activate GABAergic system
-lowering serotonin thru things like the carrot salad
-raw fat for calming nervous system (s/o Aajnous)
-gelatin

I've also thought about recommending things like Progest-E and Cypro (to lower serotonin) but I'm wary since she is still in early stages of this trauma.

Hey Guys, been trying to get more food in to help with stabilizing metabolism and improving thyroid health. My main block is having a weak appetite. Anyone have any suggestions to raise appetite? Any supplement recommendations or lifestyle changes. Appreciate it

@fd Yes and at the end of the day environmental factors drive genetics. Our genes are dynamic and constantly changing in response to whatever inputs are environment give us. And from this point of view, its the ultimate whitepill because it means everything is malleable.

@Sugar Certain races have different inputs from their environment ranging from food, stressors, light, geography, etc. which will cause them to adapt in certain ways. These adaptations would eventually crystalize into natural advantages/disadvantages. So yes some races naturally have higher IQs just like how some races will naturally be taller.
