You can spend 20 years feeling like you wasted your life, but if you’re able to somehow get healthy after all that, your sudden ability to enjoy the present moment can erase decades of regret. The past can be rewritten, or at least perceived from a different angle

The healthier you get, the more fun you can have. Not just physical capabilities, but your brain’s capacity to experience fun

In college I thought I was dumb but I was actually just inflamed. If you have moments of brilliance that’s your actual intelligence level, it’s probably just shrouded in brain fog and stress hormones a lot of the time

If you clear the brain fog from chronic inflammation you’ll regain access to memories you’d forgotten

Behaviors and qualities that indicate energy abundance:

-honesty without a heaviness
-reliability

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
If you actually laugh, like real genuine laughter, you are far healthier than the average person
Most people only fake laugh. Real laughter after the age of like 23 (sometimes even younger) is rare

Having metabolic energy feels like being inspired all the time. You wake up inspired, dream inspired, go to bed inspired, go on dates inspired, call your parents inspired, walk through the woods inspired. So everything you do is art

I lived with an inflamed gut for 10 years, and the negative effects on my personality set in so slowly that I thought that was just “how I am”
I thought I was just spacey, aloof, the tired one in the group, non-assertive, nervous, anxious, trapped in my own mind

It took me 8 years to realize that I felt like shit because of 24/7 intestinal inflammation. I’m not sure I ever would have realized if I didn’t do a series of radical dietary changes in my mid-late 20s that each dramatically changed my cognition and mood (for better and worse)

Everyone’s becoming an NPC, especially as they age. It’s such an advantage as you enter your 30s and 40s to retain excitement for life and avoid settling into behavioral and conversational cliches

Interesting how in rodent studies, one marker for stress is repetitive behavior
Makes you think about things like “stuck culture,” most peoples’ reliance on cliches, and the fact that most people have the same conversations with the same language over and over again

I will never get over the fact that Ray Peat, this man who understands biology better than anyone else perhaps in the world, responded to dozens of emails daily from random anons asking the same questions. He didn’t even give us his email, we found it sneakily.
And he responded.

It’s wild when you begin to solve a major problem that has ruined your life for a long time, and perhaps you actually settled into the belief that you would never solve it and it would consume you and destroy you, but you actually begin to solve it. You’re your own hero.

The checkout girl at Trader Joe’s just told me that she and her husband switched from regular milk to goat milk because I told her previously about how I digest it so well, and she said they’re hooked now and that it’s healed her acne

Pretty magical that females just produce a complete food in their bodies and shoot it out for their babies to drink. They eat all sorts of food and their bodies alchemize the most nutritious product in the world. What a crazy universe. It’s beyond magic.

A healthy person is honest, reliable, pleasant, caring, and respectful.This is how humans naturally are. The fact these qualities are becoming more rare nowadays is symptomatic on a large scale, and the main reason is that most people have a poor diet and intestinal inflammation

Having spent over a decade without a normal functioning libido due to chronic bloating, I’ve realized libido’s importance in everything—not just sexual intimacy. Sexual potency adds color, intensity, and substance to your creative drive, social interactions, how you see the day

When my gut is working perfectly, I can blindly trust anything I do. My opinions on things, unorthodox social impulses, like weird teases and things I want to say, impulsive purchases, whims… the healthier I am the more “me” I am, so I blindly lean into whatever comes my way

Signs of bad digestion are:
-bloating and gas
-constipation
-diarrhea
-white coated tongue
-brain fog
-skin problems like dry skin and acne

Approached a group of three girls waiting for their dinner
One had an amazingly beautiful face
So I said, “Hey you guys, I’m sorry to interrupt, but [I look at the girl I want to ask] I saw you and I think you have a really beautiful face.”

I get rejected by my neighbor and a few days later I see a good looking guy pick her up for a date
I look at my norwooding face in the mirror and curse my circumstances. It’s raining and cold. I look outside and see a homeless man huddled under a balcony. Perspective is helpful

Dog food is a scam
My parents’ chocolate lab had nonstop diarrhea, despite eating an expensive brand of dog food
I told my dad to just feed him some cheap well-rounded human food:

-carrots, maybe some sweet potato
He’s gone months now without diarrhea

If you’re having fun you can get away with more, like teasing people or saying things that might otherwise be offensive

As a kid I always had this underlying belief (I took it as fact) that everything would be okay. I KNEW everything would work out, even when I failed things. This belief only began faltering when I became chronically inflamed

When polyphenols (like caffeic and chlorogenic acids in coffee) and amino acids (like cysteine in milk) interact, they create reaction products called adducts, with distinct anti-inflammatory properties
Coffee+milk = unique anti-inflammatory effects different from coffee alone

There’s a lot of beautiful paradoxes built into life and experience:
-how energy actually leads to relaxation, rather than excitation

In a low energy state, a mix of anhedonia and fear of environment lead you to abandon what you like, in favor of what you “probably should do”

Being a good speaker requires the ability to focus on the subject for as long as you speak, following your own thoughts and organizing them as you go. This takes a lot of brain energy. If you lose focus, you default to cliches and lose your audience almost instantly

Bad digestion makes you smell bad, as the endotoxin and other junk make their way into your blood and skin. This will make your breath and mouth acidic. I think this ruins your pheromones, pushing people away and making dating much harder

Ironically as your brain begins to work quicker, it becomes easier to take your time on things. You speak slowly, choose your words carefully, deliberate on a task, observe your environment, mull your options until you choose one. It's a joy. Everything you do is a work of art.

As you become healthier, the world begins to feel more real. A sort of 4-dimensional experience where the 4th dimension is your ability to look into someone’s eyes, feel their lips and skin, smell an autumn afternoon, and take this in as a breathing moment of real life

People are craving to be listened to, because there are very few real listeners out there. If someone realizes you’re really listening, they can carry on a whole conversation and therapize themselves—you don’t even need to say anything

There’s a million ways to be productive. You can practice a skill, work on your body, eat a better diet, learn new things, build a relationship, connect with your spirit, sit quietly and ponder, walk in nature, go swimming, go to a coffee shop, chat with the old man on ur block

The desire to create things arises naturally from a high energetic state. Your extra energy seeks to play, explore itself, and carve channels in the world. I think physical performance is a version of this. When done out of a sense of exploration, these activities can make beauty
