@iPeat said in Glyphosate doesn't matter:

Stephanie Seneff, the most knowledgeable person I've ever seen on glyphosate, theorizes that glyphosate can get mistakenly placed in the glycine position in peptides in the body. Doing so in just the right spot, would only take a handful of glyphosate molecules to wreak havoc. Glyphosate to her is what PUFA was to Peat. She has me convinced, at least.

She convinced me as well. I make sure to get as much glycine as possible throughout the day.

I prefer to not eat liver and I do not take any Vitamin A supplements, but in general I think the risk of hypervitaminosis A from a Peat inspired diet is WAY over stated.

I was on low/moderate dose of Vyvanse during college. At first, it felt like a wonder drug: I could study longer, focus better, had improved mood. But after a year or so I started to get some pretty nasty side effects like mood swings and loss of appetite.

Often times I would go all day without eating and the binge on food in the evening. After I graduated, I started to taper my dose down, but I continued to develop new side effects like cold hands and feet. Despite all of the side effects, I was worried that quitting Vyvanse would mean I wouldn’t have energy or be able to focus any longer so I kept taking in.

In 2020, I started listening to the Generative Energy podcast while doing research related to thyroid. I ended up diving into Peat’s work and for a period of time I was doing a Peat diet and taking Vyvanse. While I felt some benefits from implementing some Peat principles, the side effects remained. After a few months I decided to quit Vyvanse cold turkey and never looked back.

For me, good nutrition and health practices have worked 10x better than Vyvanse or any other pharmaceutical.
