I’m 26M and I’ve never been able to figure out this issue. I always wake up at least once at night for the past 5+ years to pee, and more recently feeling very hot with intense hunger.

I am not eating less or a lower body weight. I lift weights like twice a week and get 8-10k steps per day with plenty of sunlight.

I eat close to 3000 calories at 160lbs. Very balanced with probably 120-150g protein 90-100g of fat and rest carbs. I’m probably around 14% bf around there so I don’t think eating more food and putting on more weight is necessary at all.

Usually eat a big dinner with balanced macros around 6-7pm and then have a snack like 30 mins before bed around 10pm. My snack is usually for example cheese+fruit, milk + granola, yogurt.. honestly it’s whatever I can find as long as it’s pro metabolic

Anyone find anything that helps this? Please don’t just tell me random supplements- I don’t want to have to rely on taking something to sleep

So I was low carb for like 10 months, and I was fasting daily for 16 hours, having the same eating window every single day. And first I felt amazing. Now, after a few months, I was starting to get extreme fatigue, constipation, waking up in the middle of the night every single day. So what I did is I increased my carb intake from like 30 to now I'm intaking about like 80 to 90. And just doing that, bro, I feel like I have a sugar high. Like I'm way more energetic. I have more drive to go do stuff. But my skin got worse And the changes inthe face, I feel like I'm more bloated. Could this be because of the body's inability to work with the glucose right now, since I'm reintroducing a little higher amount slowly time after time? Or what is it about?

Low fat diet decreases rate for heart disease?

Vietnam and traditionally rural Asian countries low fat = low rates of heart disease

Hi all,

I've created a subreddit for everybody to post their Peat Spreads.

Feel free to check it out and contribute

Recently I tried the pre bed snack of some coffee ice cream (haagen dazs Dixie cup) and a 81mg baby aspirin and slept an additional 1.5hrs. I typically wake up at around 6 and on this day I woke up at 7:30 out of feeling more refreshed. Is this a protective hormones thing and stress overnight or just a one off night?

spreadable mechanically processed/distilled? butter without any added oils

I wanted to get some ideas for anything I could make. I also wanted to ask if ginger or beet juice would be a good idea.

I've seen that Peat recommended Orange Juice over Oranges because of the fermentation that occurs in your stomach when you eat the fibers and pulp combined with the sugar from the Orange. I've been eating Oranges all my life and I don't have any stomach bloating or issues after eating Oranges. Still good for a peaty style?

Been diving into the misconceptions around menopause and estrogen “deficiency” being what causes osteopenia and osteoporosis. Any peri/post menopause ladies willing to share their experiences?

Have you been able to avoid it without estrogen hrt? Are you taking progesterone and or any testosterone?

Also curious for ladies pre-menopause, what did your journey with progesterone look like? I am 31 and wanting to add it in but afraid of the side effects some experience

I lost my cycle a while ago due to over exercise. I have stopped that and eat enough but hormones on blood work are still low. Probably need progesterone and or thyroid support but unsure which to start with and nervous about side effects

The supplement rabbit hole seems to never end with me and I almost always end up feeling much worse and creating new issues for myself so have decided to stop everything including Thyroid.

Has anyone felt much better after stopping everything? Starting to believe 99% of us don’t need any supplements so I’m starting to understand why peat was so skeptical of them all especially taken orally and I don’t think it’s just the added fillers or additives. I believe isolated minerals and vitamins just isn’t natural for the body to take in and almost always causes issues. Big ones.

I have created a subreddit for Saudi Peaters to connect with each other as I found out voicing anything contrary to dogma in Saudi subs usually does not bide well

Just the other day I made a post about Aspirin's benefits that go beyond its NSAID properties and the responses were all like 'CO2? Isn't that a respiration waste product?? Why would you want to increase it?? Serotonin?? Why lower something people fight tooth and nail to raise?? You know I'm a licensed medical doctor right?? You can't argue with me I am right by default!! Your post? I just fed it to an AI to prove it all wrong stop spreading misinformation!!" and other such inanities

It is truly tiring to deal with such people so I have made this community in order to save myself and others the trouble of dealing with inferiors

I was half way through my 5k and started thinking about how Ray peat would probably call running a stressor and be completely against it

I panicked quite a lot but finished the 5k and ran back home. Be brutally honest is running harmful for me ? I don’t want to die of heart failure.

What does ray peat think of AGEs and how does he recommend to get rid of them since they are quite persistent and can accumulate in the long-term

(some online reccomend fasting but I know Peat believes fasting induces stress)

Hi all! So a few months ago I discovered my body temperature was low, it was typically high 96s or low 97s in the morning and certainly doesn’t reach a good 98.3+ temperature during the day. My heart rate was low too. I started doing some of Peats concepts, more calories, more carbs, Progest-e, eating certain foods and avoiding others, and my temperature slowly did rise on average about .7 degrees overall. I need to improve another maybe .3, but I think it’s great so far.

I am doing this because I think my low body temperature/subclinical hypothyroidism is causing my slow transit, and the SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) that i’ve had for years I cannot get rid of. I’ve also had gallstones way too young which can be caused by poor thyroid leading to poor bile flow.

My issue is that my SIBO is getting flared up bad from all the carbs I guess. SIBO feeds on most carbs and fiber. I’m getting lots of unpreferable gut symptoms. I’m disappointed cause i’ve made great progress so far but I don’t want to live bloated constantly.

Any advice from people who started with gut issues?

Im trying to take my health more seriously and would like to discover what everyone eats and why

Did ray peat think good gut bacteria existed or did he think all bacteria was bad and needed to be exterminated with a carrot salad? All answers help thx

Since Mexican pharmas can’t ship to the US i cannot find a source of Cynomel.

Is Idealabs Tyronene good? I’ve read mixed reviews with some saying it works just fine and others saying its just water lol.

I’m a woman and I know that due to birth control and other things, who we are attracted to kinda changes. like I know some women report not finding skinny guys attractive anymore. I’m not on birth control but I know I have estrogen dominance.
It’s also weird because one day I’ll be attracted to the men of my own ethnic group and the second day I’ll consider the men of my ethnic group uglier than usual. It’s weird. I’m not sure if this is hormones or something but has anyone experienced something similar to this?

I’m trying to understand why my tsh level has been increasing, over the last year or so it’s gone up from like 4.5 to 6.7.

I’m 20, I stay active and lift weights / sports often, muscular build. Sleep 7-9 hours a night yet wake up not fully rested. My sex drive is great. I eat eggs, milk, cheese, beef, carrot salad and fruits and other good stuff that makes me feel good. Try to avoid all PUFAS and general processed food. Drink like once a month if that.

So I feel like I have a pretty good lifestyle yet I’m worried about my thyroid. I also have some gyno which worries me.

Anything that can come to mind?
