Saturated fat has anti-ACTH and anti-endotoxin action, so I think the amount of cortisol and tissue breakdown in a long-term keto/carnivore person is going to be variable. I see high cortisol, high prolactin, high TSH, and elevated cholesterol day in and day out in my work with keto/carnivore people, which is why I mentioned it. Acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate, GSSG/GSH, NAD/NADH, and pyruvate/lactate might be more direct measures of reductive stress, but I don't think a lot of people get those things measured, which is why the classic stress hormones and pulse and temperature are useful. Can you explain more about the gastric emptying?

Ice cream is literally a superfood. - raw milk - egg yolks - raw cream - raw honey

Clavicular saying that he’s on the same dopamine unlimited-er as Sam Bankman Fried and if he eats cheese he might actually die due to a specific side effect of “unlimited dopamine” I paused for a second

I had no idea about this, literally had a glass of this juice today. Paraquat is far far worse than glyphosate, have heard of plenty folks personally affected by it. If you drink POM I strongly suggest you find an alternative like a hand held juicer along with actual pomegranates or Lakewood Organic Pomegranate Juice.

high protein and high fat diet is the high iq and high energy diet high carb and high sugar is low iq I don’t care what a bunch of health slop pseudo intellectuals on twitter claim, they are all dipshits who speak in jargon to try and sound smart this is what the objective science shows and what all my own personal research and experimentation consistently validates high sugar causes inflammation in the brain, it makes you more sluggish mentally and reduces your cognitive energy levels the brain runs far more effectively on high quality fat than it does carbs there’s no debate here, it has been proven definitively that for ATP conversion in the brain FAT IS SUPERIOR TO CARBS all you need to do is pull up some studies and see for yourself if you don’t believe me now enough taunting and provoking I’ll break it down for you and why your high sugar diets are a logical fallacy that you should stop feeding into high sugar and high carb is only optimal if you are an athlete, it’s only optimal if you need that extra energy to gain a competitive edge in a physical arena but for the vast majority of us? we aren’t professional athletes who work full time in a sport we are hobby athletes, and we have jobs and lives, and our minds are our most important asset thus we need to take care of the brain, give it love, stop abusing it with stimulants and drugs and sugar, and give it care and support it’s all about longevity anyway right? and we want to stay healthy for a long time, not develop dementia or cancer and all those bad things well for that to happen the high protein and high fat diet is your best friend and furthermore it’s also just cracked af you could eat sugar and take stimulants and take nootropics and drugs and everything you want to overclock your mind and yet your cognitive functioning is still gonna be inferior to someone who’s sober on this diet trust me I’ve experimented with all these things myself, and nothing comes close to this if you want a cognitive edge you struggle to get out of bed sometimes? you have anxiety at times? you have brain fog? you have trouble maintaining high energy levels without using stimulants? all these issues arise due to dietary failure, due to you using sugar and low quality energy all those issues? non-existent on this diet energy levels go through the roof IQ feels like it goes up 30 points your brain becomes healthy and happy and your blood sugar becomes stable wanna lose weight? wanna stimulate your metabolism? no drugs needed - it’s literally impossible to get obese on this diet, and the fat will begin melting off of you as soon carbs are flushed out of your system the key however is to ensure you only consume high quality protein and fats eggs, high quality beef, and high quality fish chicken is for scrubs, all you need is eggs, steak, beef, and fish and all your carbs should come from dairy particularly kefir kefir is what is gonna keep your gut balanced and good, so it’s important you get a glass of it a day then you also want to make sure you have a solid vitamin and mineral stack, I’m not gonna list them all out here, but I have my own personal made stack I take 3 times a day to ensure all my micronutrients are balanced and adequate levels anyway just try it for yourself if you don’t believe me and if you follow this diet truly and correctly, then you’ll quickly come to the same realization as me that all other biohackers than me are retarded and coping over their pleb diets always master the fundamentals first don’t worry about peptides and drugs and nootropics and all that stuff master your diet and routine first until you master your diet and routine then everything else is duct tape and bandaid solutions it’s what’s gonna make the biggest impact on your life and it’s also what’s gonna lead to true longevity

Gut inflammation hurts digestion, sure, but it also collapses your brain’s field of awareness. You basically become semi-retarded. Let me help you. Bacterial endotoxin and serotonin from the intestine block cellular energy production, forcing cells into stress chemistry. The brain feels this as narrow, anxious, tunnel-like thinking. It can be horrifying and isolating. When energy metabolism falters, your body pulls back from expansive, intuitive awareness and locks into survival mode (no bueno). How to restore peripheral, panoramic thinking: • lower endotoxin -> raw carrot salad, mushrooms, bamboo shoots...they act like natural antiseptics; apart from that, no raw or undercooked or reheated veggies, starches, grains, and no nuts, seeds, legumes; opt for ripe fruit, juices, honey, marmalades, etc • support electrolytes -> salt and a pinch of baking soda in fruit juice protect against the hyponatremia/endotoxin loop • steady blood sugar -> fruit juice-sip every hour, ripe fruit, honey, dairy with protein keep the brain fueled and cortisol low • block stress mediators -> aspirin, sugary coffee with cream, niacinamide, bio-identical progesterone/pregnenolone and thyroid hormones all protect mitochondria and stabilise mood and are anti-endotoxin • light & warmth -> UV light, sunlight, red light and good thyroid function shift cells back into respiration, producing CO₂ instead of lactic acid • ditch PUFA (all unsaturated fats) -> seed oils / unsaturated fats intensify inflammation, suppress thyroid and worsen gut leakiness • saturated fats (coconut oil, butter, cacao/cocoa) protect the intestine, cacao/cocoa in particular is anti-endotoxin and it reduces leaky gut • gelatine / glycine / bone broth -> help shield the liver by limiting fat oxidation from seed oils and calming the inflammatory reaction to bacterial endotoxin; eat daily • activated charcoal (occasionally) binds toxins • naringenin, found most abundantly in orange marmalade (the peel) and then some citrus fruit, lowers endotoxin induced inflammation; eat marmalade daily!) • vitamin D suppresses endotoxin, supports gut barrier integrity • ginger calms the gut, lowers serotonin • aged cascara sagrada -> helps with constipation, as do magnesium citrate, coffee, adequate calories, insoluble fibre (Ray Peat carrot salad, well-cooked mushrooms, bamboo shoots), blueberries, baking soda, aspirin, B1, methylene blue, psyllium husk, thyroid, ginger • vitamin E (mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols) -> fights inflammation • taurine protects the endotoxin burdened liver (my top supp) • drugs like cyproheptadine or lisuride can be powerful serotonin antagonists • keep stress low -> simple breathing, CO₂ rich environments, whimsy, novelty, silly goose time and play, closeness with other people and restorative rest expand awareness • some safe antibiotics might sometimes be needed (minocycline most notably) to unalive bacteria that cause endotoxin overload When the gut lining is calm and metabolism is steady, your digestion is perfect, your entire cognitive field expands, awareness widens and intuition returns, and your thinking regains depth and subtlety. When you heal the gut, the mind reopens. Trust.

Overall, there's no hard evidence that calorie restriction would extend lifespan in humans, but it's the most consistent thing to do so in animals. You probably don't need to be on a severely calorie-restricted diet, but avoiding obesity and excess adiposity is essential for preventing chronic diseases and slowing down aging (PMID: 24628815) What you'd want to keep in mind are: - lower end body fat - high bone density - avoid micronutrient deficiencies and malnutrition - have lower blood pressure, glycemia, lipids, and inflammation - have adequate muscle and strength To achieve the lower body fat and better bloodwork, you'll end up being on a diet that keeps your calorie intake moderate relative to your energy expenditure

“Honey is just liquid sugar” Did you factor in the honey peptides that we are only to begin to understand the effects of? There’s prob an opportunity for someone to use AI to create a natural peptide database with potential effects, then let online bros test them
