pregnancy

Essentially every expectant mother in developed countries undergoes these procedures without thinking anything of it. Just the name ultrasound makes one think of whales singing in the pristine sea. Turns out it's a form of non-ionizing radiation at a specific frequency the wave pressures of...

I was looking for this study for a long time. I found it here: -https://twitter.com/BradCohn/status/1688615871797743617 In this paper they looked at the efefct that progesterone had on the offpspring. To make it short: progesterone babies are intellectually superior. The effect was dose...

@JamesGatz right again: Is Cotton and Leather the only safe clothing materials ? What do people think of Cashmere/wool/linen ? Quite dramatic inhibition of ovarian function during the estrus phase:

Hey all. My wife has had a VERY successfully pregnancy after 17 years of infertility and 7 years of peating! She has been having a pretty eventless pregnancy (first bio kid at 38 and has no GD, no preeclampsia, etc). The baby is huge too, also thanks to Ray Peat's advice! I continue to be amazed...

Hey, My wife got pregnant 2 months ago and now I am concerned about what should she not take. She is on a "Peat's diet" since november 2021. After pregnancy, she is having issues to digest milk. Overall, she eats milk, OJ, potatoes, fruits, white rice, sugar, fish, red meat, liver, bread...

I consume a lot of milk, tropical fruits, organ meats etc...was reading online pregnant woman should not eat liver because the high vitamin A can cause birth defects...is this true? Also does anyone have good diet/supplement advice for a pregnant woman?

This is somewhat of a positive, progesterone prescribed for miscarriage in the UK, let’s hope it’s bio identical, the brand is Utrogestan. https://www.tommys.org/about-us/charity-news/giving-some-pregnant-women-progesterone-could-prevent-8450-miscarriages-year-say-experts Researchers at...

After being told for decades that SSRI/SNRI drugs are safe for usage during pregnancy, now the truth finally starts to come out. Well, technically it has been out for a long time considering the skyrocketing autism rates and the strong causal link between serotonin and autism. However, up until...

Scary title, but that's what the data shows assuming my calculations are correct. I saw this study/article by accident while I was checking Google News for my daily dose of propaganda. At the top right corner was a "debunking" article about a viral Twitter post claiming that pregnant women who...

I have heard according to Peat that tsh should be less than 1. Tsh was 2.3 at 13 weeks pregnant and was 1.8 while not pregnant.

Finally, an intervention study that should help convince some of the die-hard PUFA fans that these fatty acids are far from benign/beneficial, but in fact can cause a variety of chronic diseases. A very important finding of the study, that distinguishes it from other PUFA studies, is that it...

I have heard claims that maca boosts progesterone levels and also estrogen (enough progesterone can balance it out) boosts fertility and lowers the rate of pregnancy loss. If a woman is 10 weeks pregnant would this be a thing to try or avoid?

I am starting to doubt progesterone supplementing in pregnancy since I know someone who took natural progesterone and it made her spot during early pregnancy. This study claims that adults whose mothers took progesterone in pregnancy are more likely to be gay or bisexual. I was under the...

I think we will be seeing more studies on this topic, especially in light of the ongoing human studies administering progesterone or (gasp!) estrogen to men in the hopes of improving the course of their COVID-19 disease. The results from the estrogen trials are already - surprise, surprise -...

Hello! I'm pregnant with my second baby and I'm hoping to get ideas for how to eat/supplement to promote an easy, quick, uncomplicated, comfortable child birth. Last time I used a birthing hypnosis program that was VERY helpful. Over all it went very well and I had a big healthy baby naturally...

Since Ray often mentions the anecdotes of children whose mothers have taken progesterone during pregnancy having a significant higher IQ than average, I ask myself whether some of you have used or plan to use progesterone for that purpose too. I myself am now near that age where having children...

hello all I am currently 8 months pregnant, and I am not doing so well. I feel constantly distressed and extremely depressed. These high levels of hormones are making me crazy. I’m having emotional flashbacks to things that happened to me in my early childhood to early twenties that I thought...

My partner and I will be trying to conceive this fall. We are considering getting the genetic test for cystic fibrosis. I am relatively well versed in Peat and his general thoughts on genetics vs. environment, however CF seems to be a rare truly genetic disease. I would appreciate any insight...
