@raypneat I’ve been using it about 5 days a week for the past two months on my hair and face/beard. Feels like one of those old 5 gum commercials, just revitalizing and refreshing.

As for longish-term results, hair softer and more volumous, dry skin healed (I live in a really dry and windy area, used to get chapped face and knuckles in winter, haven’t yet).

BLOO + a high quality shower filter have simply increased my quality of life. It’s not magic, but it’s just really good and I plan on staying subscribed indefinitely.

@Meeka these are what he has

@Meeka my brother has grounding shoes and his sleep and sense of well-being/peace improved tremendously

I think I would trust him less if he didn’t.

@izkrov definitely a fed

Before I discovered Peat I ate Perfect Bars, but it’s all crap and there isn’t a protein bar out there (as far as I know) that’s worth buying/consuming. Maybe one of the more entrepreneurial community members can create one.

@EzraPound I’ve had it on my shelf for a while but have been told it’s a bit of a slog. How does Gogol compare to Dostoevsky?

@shivaflow some serotonin blockers like cyproheptadine and 10-methoxyharmalan are effective. Also keeping foods with varying macro compositions stocked so more things will appear appetizing based on your body’s needs at any given moment.

It makes perfect sense evolutionarily:

Homosexuality is completely contrary to a species’ imperative to continue its existence.

Homosexuality is beneficial to parasites that do not require complementary intimacy and simply need the hosts to spread them.

Spiritually and biologically, it’s a Godless plague.

@GasTheJews SRRI withdrawals ≠ instant serotonin antagonism. It would be like doing heroin for a year and quitting right before an athletic event and expecting a burst of energy.

A few months ago (after a year of peating) I dreamt that Dr. Peat was sitting relaxed on a couch behind the priest in a confessional. I told the priest that my only sin was that “my conscience doesn’t convict me” (quote from The Young Pope) and then Dr. Peat slow clapped, commended me for my honesty, and advised me to never repent for crimes I didn’t commit.

Anyone else have Peat or bioenergetic themes seep into dreams?

Hanging from a pull-up bar, routinely stretching arms/shoulders behind back w/ rope or even something like a shirt or trash bag

I’ve found gnocchi to be better than standard pasta, seeing as it’s more potato than grain, and even store-bought it’s rarely fortified.

@zoro All wild animals can be tamed by simply exuding humility, q.v. Russian monks playing with bears, etc. Isaac of Nineveh talks about it.

My go-to snack in college was a vanilla Siggi’s with cacao nibs and raw honey.

I like Saint Anselm’s that-than-which-nothing-greater-can-be-thought argument. Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, and Aquinas are S tier too.

Read the Milk Manifesto

Regenerative milk is more environmentally friendly than vegetable harvests.

@raypneat 10-methoxyharmalan paired with caffeine
