I've been following raypeat ideas for some time now and I know that he is against serotonin, but I'm desperate and I've did some research about SSRIs and from my understanding they don't raise the production of serotonin in the body like tryptophan and 5-htp do, but they keep the serotonin...

It all comes down to energy production. How effectively your cells can produce energy. https://men-elite.com/2021/08/16/tired-of-feeling-anxious-and-submissive-heres-how-to-fix-it/ I'd also like to hear from you. What has worked great for you to optimize both your energy and reduce anxiety?

Hi everyone, I'm curious to know your thoughts on whether COVID-19 (the virus, not the v@><) will later cause prion disease in the infected? I've seen the theories that the v@>< will lead to prion disease, but what about the virus itself? If we avoid the jab and end up contracting (or if we...

Good Afternoon, After encountering a compulsive, narcissistic liar on this forum, I am wondering: What causes narcissism? Are there hormones involved. I‘d like to hear the „peaty“ view on this. Thank you, my fellow beardy peatarians.

Just a quick announcement that we have replaced the 5α-DHP in our store with allopregnanolone. The main reason for switching over to allopregnanolone is that we always wanted to provide that steroid right from the start, however we could not find a lab willing to synthesize it. Thus, 5α-DHP...

Hello everyone, I decided to start a personal log, where I can hold record of my diet, lifestyle and supplementation, because I don‘t want to start so many new threads for just small questions or informational posts. This could become my legacy log, that I leave behind, so that my...

This study says: Beyond the gut, germ free mice also display an increased turnover rate of dopamine and norepinephrine (as well as serotonin) in the brain (Diaz Heijtz et al., 2011), which could generally reduce pools in systemic circulation independent of microbial production (although factors...

I will probably post some questions about this again in the future as I am extremely tired, anhedonic, depressed, and feel like I am always on the cusp of a panic attack (though I never actually have one), so I don't know if I can't really flesh this out. I am a male of 29 years. 5'10". 185lb...

2 Years ago Symptoms : All day Anxiety, Depression Emergency state. Any bad thought would cause belly contraction and a cycle of stress diffucult to calm. Sleepness, GERD intense headaches when doing mental effort. I am understanding now that all of these could be symptoms of very low metabolism...

Hey all, the past 2 days I was feeling great, had no physical anxiety all day and I finally stabilized on 12 and 12 mg. Now today I had an interview with my new addiction doctor this morning at 9 am the time I had to take my valium morning dose of 12 mg and I forgot to take it for 21 minutes...

Since I am finally calming down from my ridiculous panic episode after getting two supplement pills stuck in my throat (esophagus?), I figured I would share it so you could get a kick out of it or you could share your own horror story. Brief Context So I have always been afraid of choking...

Hi all, I was in the door opening smoking a cigarette when smoke from a pipe or chimney however you wanna call it came inside and I inhaled it. It is from the boiler. Several hours later I have physical anxiety which I normally never have around this time. Is this from the boiler smoke? Did it...

Yet another great study exposing just how much of a "happy hormone" serotonin really is. As usual, the popular press article does everything possible to avoid pointing the finger at serotonin and even engages in misdirection. For example, it says that SERT is the main target of drugs like...

I know Japan is not the best comparison to the West due to their unique cultural attitude/tolerance towards suicides, especially in regards to people perceived to be "dishonored" due to falling on hard luck. However, it is still a stark reminded of what the lockdowns lead to and I suspect we may...

I'm looking for advice to help both my sister and mother with their longstanding health issues. My mother is in her mid-50s and has been suffering from severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for as long as I can remember. She told me she has been on Prednisone for the majority of my life (I'm 31). She was...

In one of Peat's recent newsletters he mentioned that there is an epidemic of mental disease in the population because the evil system these people live is preventing them from living their lives "meaningfully, creatively". A recent study corroborated Peat's writings on the truly abysmal state...

One of the few studies that is at least attempting to frame mental health issues in terms of endocrinology. More specifically, the study below demonstrated that people with Hashimoto disease have drastically increased rates of anxiety, panic attacks and risks for other mental health disorders...
