Disclaimer

There is no such thing as a Peat protocol. There are some strict recommendations, as to avoid PUFAs, and there are many recommendation that are applicable to a majority. Bottom line is: avoid stressors (avoid things that are bad for you) and improve metabolism (do what is good for you). What is good and what is bad for each is individual, and even this can change with time.

You won't get an accurate understanding of Ray Peat's ideas from reading in the forum. You need to read his works (see the articles on http://raypeat.com) and listen to his interviews. Quite a few of the interviews have been transcribed. Further resources are his newsletters and the advice he gave people in emails.

The amount of information Dr. Peat provides is overwhelming, and at first it is confusing for many as so much contradicts current dogmas. This wiki-page shall give you pointers to specific topics and help you find relevant discussions in the forum.

When reading in the forum please be aware that the members are expressing their interpretations of Peat's work, and some even present contradicting ideas and fall short of making this clear.

It is you who is responsible for your health. Educate yourself and take your decisions. People in the forum may help you on your journey with valuable advice, but it is you who has to determine if a piece of advice is applicable to your situation.

Diet

We have a thread on food choices and general guidelines. A word of warning: the healthiest food is no good, if you don't digest it well. Take it easy when making changes to your diet, especially if you come from a restrictive diet. Make small changes, one at a time, and observe the effect. And finally: Enjoy your food! This is not a perfect world with a perfect food supply.

You find discussions about specific foods and macros and micros in the Diet forum. Also see (***comment still to add: list of safe foods - Amazoniac?)


Managing stress and sleep issues

Sleep

Bad sleep and waking up during the night is a sign of low thyroid function and/or low blood sugar.

If the thyroid is low, people rely on stress hormones (adrenaline, cortisol). When it gets dark stress hormones raise, and at some point people wake up. Another factor contributing to this endotoxin in the gut causing inflammation.


Dr. Peat recommends (** add links)
