Alcohol is extremely effective for dealing with stress not just on a psychological level but on a physiological level. It’s a fantastic analgesic and is way safer and has less side effects than opiates. It also increases the metabolic rate which will heal just about every disease
One of the best “hacks” for stress is eating as close to waking up as possible. If you don’t have an appetite in the morning that means your body is running on stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol which suppress appetite. Easiest way to lower stress levels is by eating..
How to heal your gut from whatever ails it:
High dose thiamine 1-2 grams
1.5 grams butyric acid which is in about 50 grams of butter if you don't want to supplement
Gelatin
Antiparasitic drugs like doxycycline and fenbendazole
Abstinence of starch and oxalate
Carrot salad
SUGAR?!
NOT SUGAR!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO
NOT PURE ENERGY THAT MY BODY CAN UTILIZE QUICKLY AND EASILY AND DOESN’T HAVE A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF LIKE STARCH IN IT THAT PUTS A LOAD ON MY DIGESTION
NOOOOOOO
The juice of Ehime Jelly oranges.

Alcohol isn’t harmful to the liver. Estrogen is. That’s why the safe(r) alcohols are sprits.. hard alcohol.. hard liquor. They are more pure and have the least amount of estrogenic yeast. Least safe are beer, and wine. Beer is the worst. You should never consume beer.
“Serotonin is known to be *TOXIC* to testicular function”
Since it reduces serotonin and estrogen it’s probably a good idea to at least try out a daily carrot salad for a bit before you go and hop on steroids
Peaters: I'm fairly strict with my diet.. I only eat zogslop every once in a while.. I don't eat much PUFA. Why am I getting fat?
Me: Have you tried reducing fat?
Peaters: ...
Alcohol can also be an issue because it’s basically a simple carbohydrate so it requires thiamine. The reason why many people in asian countries suffer from thiamine deficiencies is because they consume tons of white rice which has the bran removed thus it doesn’t have thiamine

Different islanders from different places have different body types depending on location. Samoans and tongans for example are large mesomorphs.. while people from the mariana chain are smaller and skinnier
Not only does baking soda reduce cortisol but because it has sodium it also reduces adrenaline.. next time you're stressed out.. try eating some baking soda
Bicarbonate (baking soda) is a potent stress reducer.
One of the functions of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, is to reduce systemic acidity.
Baking soda does that for you, which lowers cortisol.
Many report better sleep with baking soda, possibly due to this.
This is a myostatin inhibited cow. Coffee and chocolate are both myostatin inhibitors.. if you’re tryna get “swoll” this is your sign to coffee and chocolatemaxx
Peaters will take:
- Cyproheptadine
- Aspirin
- Thyroid
- Bulgarian pharmaceuticals
- Progesterone
- Pregnenolone
- Pyrucet
- Cabergoline
Only to be skinny fat and have the emotional regulation of a 13 year old girl
Obscure physical signs of hypothyroidism:
-Small wrists
-Knock knees
-Malocclusion
-Facial asymmetry
All of this can be improved upon no matter the age by increasing carbon dioxide and steroid production.
Thyroid has a profound impact on bone development.
My dear Mr Orca.. in order for your thyroid to function correctly you must eat this great white shark's liver.. because it contains 100,000 iu of vitamin A
Ahhhhh I just accidentally inhaled gelatin powder.. I think I'm dying.. is this really how it ends.. I hope gelatin in my lungs is peaty.. please save me Ray Peat.. Ray Peat save me please oh God
Just took 50 mg of exemestane, 1 mg of DHT, 3 mg of DHEA, and like 150 mg of pregnenolone.. tablespoon of coconut oil.. non faustian niggas would never..
Quinine is a super under rated way of reducing serotonin. For some reason no one talks about it much. Peatler told me once that he found it to be "too powerful" the fact that the most faustian man was leery of using it shows how potent it is. I use it in the form of cinchona bark
Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. In other words.. if you’re ever stressed and want to REVERSE it.. have a nice sweet treat. The sugar will stop cortisol (a stress hormone) right in it’s tracks
When I take enough serotonin antagonizing agents as well as pregnenolone and progesterone megadoses together.. I literally feel like I'm 19 again and I'm not even joking
This then sets the tone for the rest of the day.. when the stress levels go back up.. eat some more. These don’t have to be massive elaborate meals. Just make sure you’re getting a good amount of salt and carbs.. protein.. it’s not rocket science guys
My body is so resilient and my metabolism is such a furnace that I start instantly sweating no matter how horrible the zogslop I consume is (this is an accurate measure of metabolic health btw.. if your body heats up during a meal = good.. if you body cools down = bad)
I'm not a dentist so bear with me here.. increased calcium intake for one.. supposedly aspirin can heal cavities.. and I eat a ton of it.. also apparently people with a low functioning thyroid "experience a greater occurrence of cavities" which makes sense because overall health
Thyroid hormone for stress reduction -
if you are hypothyroid and your thyroid gland is not functioning adequately.. your stress hormones pick up the slack to increase energy in the body.. which will obviously cause anxiety.
The thyroid controls your body’s metabolic rate and many other things including what amounts of hormones your body makes. If you’re interested in being lean and having plenty of hormones like testosterone you should prioritize thyroid health..
Something interesting about Ray Peat is his ability.. even post mortem.. to activate the inferiority complex of large amounts of people who are either too stupid or too lazy to learn about elementary processes in the body such as the randle cycle or the warburg effect..
Me, at the doctor’s office getting a blood draw:
Doctor
#1
: It’s.. brown..
Doctor
#2
: ..and it’s ..carbonated?
Doctor
#1
: sir your blood appears to consist primarily of coca cola
At first I didn't want to believe it was true.. that he's really gone. I still can't really.. even as I'm writing this. I can't stop crying. He was such a delightful person.. never hesitated to answer any of my silly questions..
My husband, God Emperor Peatler, has passed away.
I was with him till the end. Resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.
He cherished his time on Twitter, and it healed a part of his heart in his final years.
It made him childlike. Thank you very much.
"Please save me Dr. Ray Peat I just took way too much progesterone.. Dr. Ray Peat save me please.."
"Heh.. you'll probably just feel really good.. uhum.. in a little bit"
You're actually a dumbass if you are trying to lose weight and not eating the Ray Peat carrot salad daily.. I'm always astounded but how much my metabolism ramps up when it eat it.
Much of the “health space” is occupied by people with a fetish for humiliation and self flagellation. Switch out brown rice for any other idiotic meme health food like kale.. or salmon.. chicken.. and this is always the reasoning “it’s healthier because it tastes worse”
I promise if you fix your disordered eating habits your depression and anxiety will vanish. Every time I forget to eat 3 squares a day I’m astounded by how bad I feel and how much better I feel when I do. Be normal. Eat. Your brain and body will thank you
We are "imprinted" by our mothers' hormonal and nutritional conditions, but we can intervene to correct these "inherited" conditions, by maintaining optimal hormonal and nutritional balances.
5 mg of pregnenolone
5 mg of DHEA
2 mg of androsterone
6 grams of taurine
2 grams of carnitine
2 grams of niacinamide
2 grams of thiamine
Immediate dramatic deepening of my voice. Days later.. it's still the same. Incredible almost insatiable hunger.. Interesting
The thyroid gland is a small organ located in your neck that like many people have already said essentially controls your metabolism.. you can increase this "metabolic rate" by eating carbohydrates and suppress it effectively with polyunsaturated fats.
I love how people still have no idea how to not get fat.. literally all you have to do is eat less fat. That’s it.. and in before any idiot pipes up and says something like “oh no it’s more complicated than that-“ shut up. You obviously don’t know anything about mitochondria
Just cut open a bunch of the dates from a brand I’ve been eating for years. No mold.. no bugs.. no nothing.. just beautiful white and clean insides.. y’all are trippin
Dry scooping collagen tastes so bad. 0/10 do not recommend.. but I'm going to keep doing it because I'm insane. It tastes like limburger.. and not in a good way
