Ray Peat accidentally discovered the effects of Pregnenolone when he took Vitamin E containing a residue of Pregnenolone that was left over from an experiment in solubility. These changes was dramatically reported in a passport photo 1 yr before & another 10 weeks after use

Fructose inhibits the stimulation of insulin by glucose, so this means that eating ordinary sugar, sucrose (a disaccharide, consisting of glucose and fructose), in place of starch, will reduce the tendency to store fat.

@MelRoBuilds Gutted! and I wondered why my lipofuscin is risen up the past few years of using these when I have detoxed PUFAs for a decade. and reduced my iron overload! I will go back to safe stainless steal that Ray Peat recommended and the easy testing it with a magnet

I know some of you in Peat-realm use these colored glass cookware too Guess what... some of them test positive for heavy metals too tamararubin.com/2018/10/xrf-te… tamararubin.com/2018/09/cornin…

@adhd_jeeba well here in the UK we call it cake 🍰 😉

@theedgecontent girl thats corn bread. looks good though

@sweetgumfarm_ cool 😊 we are on different paths mine is regeneration. I don't think it's a wise move to store these fats in our tissues and to burn unsaturated fats at night when most of the aging process occurs when the brain is trying to renew itself at middle age

@theedgecontent Well I do the same. Tons and tons of research proving they lower inflammation and help with cognition. We don’t all have to agree on everything. ✌️

@esotericlanadel thanks 🙏🏼

@faustianpeatard 😊🙌🏼 good to be back

@metabolicdang cheers 😊 🙌🏼

@theedgecontent Welcome back 🙏🏼

@wolffdew @Birkalv Bob's Red Mill organic Masa harina found this online and best one I have used so far

@Birkalv @theedgecontent Where do you find masa harina? I need to make this too

I learnt the concept of working IN not OUT from Paul Chek while you are healing. If the energy is not available to "workout" do not take more of it away. It becomes counterproductive and catabolic Instead try some of these alternative suggestions below Self lymph massage Self myofascial release Buteyko Breathing Technique Gentle short walk in nature Corrective floor based postural work Qigong

"Almost all human aging happens during the night" Ray Peat The lowering of blood sugar levels and increase of free fatty acids during the night is a part of what drives degenerative stress Darkness is stressful on our physiology and suppresses mitochondrial energy production and with the longer nights in the winter, then the aging process has even more hours each day to act! I never go to bed hungry and always have a bedtime snack such as: a cup of warm milk with honey 30 minutes, before bedtime or alternatively a cup of homemade gelatinous broth with plenty of salt. Both salt and or sugar lower the adrenalin levels and increase body temperature helping you achieve restorative sleep

Some of my favourite pro metabolic supplements in their purest forms

"Migraine headaches are increasing in incidence. By the end of the 1950s, it was widely accepted that migraine headaches and associated symptoms including nausea and visual disturbances were caused by an excess of serotonin, and antiserotonin drugs of various types were being used for treatment. Women have migraines more often than men do, and they tend to occur in association with ovulation or menstruation. Estrogen inhibits monoamino oxidase, MAO, especially the form that is most active in detoxifying serotonin, and it increases the enzymes that control the rate of serotonin synthesis. During serotonin excess, the veins and capillaries of the pia mater are engorged with blood, while circulation to the brain generally is depressed. Visual symptoms are probably produced by contriction of arterioles, while the pain is associated with engorged veins. Progesterone activates the MAO-A, and has other antiserotonin effects on blood vessels and nerves." -Dr. Ray Peat

The “health” culture has it all backwards Thyroid suppressive diets. Restricting salt, dairy, animal protein. Eating nuts, seeds, uncooked vegetables, legumes. Polyunsaturated fats that all lower thyroid function. They also damage mitochondria and delicate enzymes through lipid peroxidation. Decreased thyroid hormone and progesterone, increased estrogen and stress hormones. Being in a chronically high catabolic stressed state: breakdown of tissue like skin, muscle and bone loss “All phases of development, from gestation to aging, are altered by the presence of the unsaturated fats, and these effects correspond closely to the loss of regenerative capacity, the ability to replenish and restore tissues.” Ray Peat

@theedgecontent I made these today and they were absolutely delicious- I used olive oil tho bc I didn’t have any coconut oil- tasted sort of like a delicious muffin. Thanks so much for the recipe!

@strong_sistas thank you 🙏🏼😊

@theedgecontent Beautiful and inspiring <3

thyroid supportive foods trace minerals spark energy production cooper and selenium enables you to turn t4 into t3. Copper is required for the function of the last enzyme in the electron transport chain (cytochrome oxidase), making it an important factor in energy production.

@rosenfeltc yes I was peating. healing is not an event it's a process. A Young person can heal much faster even some simple nutrition changes. I wasn't in an optimal environment in 2020. but there non peat principles here also that have helped me like improving my posture and gait mechanics

@theedgecontent Congrats on the positive changes 👏 I’m trying to remember were you low carb in 2020 and then adopted Ray Peat principles until now?

@thisardentlife thank you it's taken a while but feel pretty bouncy these days 😊 no aches or pains 🙌🏼

@theedgecontent Look at you go! That's impressive!

@LuluWinter56549 🙏🏼🙌🏼
