    Dieting Is Stressful, And Probably Makes You Fat

    There is a quote on the front page of the forum from Ray saying that chronic dieting leads to hypothyroidism. One of the mechanisms this happens through is the chronically elevated cortisol levels that dieting causes. Here is a study that discussed the effects of dieting on cortisol in humans...

    Stress gives you 11 extra pounds of body weight (fat) a year

    I think we all know that stress makes you fat, but this is more specific and measured how much stress affects your weight. The study used a high-fat diet, which probably aggravated the wight gain even more, but the overall diet was not hypercaloric. The 11lbs of fat per year is nothing to laugh...

    Stress Effects Are Inherited Up To 3 Generations Later

    The study in this case looked at starvation, which is a very common example of chronic stress in Peat-land. http://newsroom.cumc.columbia.edu/blog/ ... inherited/ "...Evidence from human famines and animal studies suggests that starvation can affect the health of descendants of famished...

    Stress increases weight gain by slowing down metabolism

    Another confirmation of Peat's quote on the front page about stress-metabolism connection. Some other interesting "findings" as well - i.e. saturated fat is..gasp..not bad for us! It is stress that ruins us. http://guardianlv.com/2014/07/stress-in ... -suggests/ "...The women who recorded...

    The Connection Between Stress (adrenalin), Bacteria And Cvd

    Interesting study, explaining the connection between stress (and its agents adrenalin / noradrenalin), bacterial proliferation and heart attacks / strokes. http://esciencenews.com/articles/2014/0 ... rt.attacks "...Scientists believe they have an explanation for the axiom that stress...

    Surgery Stress Causes Memory Loss And Dementia

    This has been known for quite some time, but the official position has been that it only happens in compromised patients (i.e. elderly, neurologically deficient, infected, etc). RP has written about how the body perceives surgery as major stress and how even healthy people have mental fog for...

    The neuro-symphony of stress

    A decent review of the stress response and the involvement of the nervous system. One thing that immediately caught my eye was the monoaminergic aspect of the stress response. Unavoidable stress (aka learned helplessness) does lead to elevated serotonin and the other way around, as RP has said...

    Adrenergic dysfunction may be the cause of all "addictions"

    Obviously, chronic stress is the most likely cause behind chronically elevated adrenalin levels, as is low blood sugar. This boosts the validity "Rat Park Experiment" and the theory behind it, which showed that rats used "addictive" substances only when under stress, and stop using them when...

    Stress-induced glycolysis is mediated by adrenalin

    A nice study that ties together the hypoglycemic state of shock with increased levels of lactate and pyruvate - all caused by adrenalin. Anti-adrenalin agents (beta "receptor" blockers) successfully ameliorated the condition. I wonder if clonidine would do the same given another study I found...

    Vitamin B6 protects the gut from stress-induced damage

    Stress-induced ulcers are a common issue anywhere in the world where the environment is primed for instilling learned helplessness in people. It looks like vitamin B6 (again, the cheap pyridoxine hydrochloride salt) can help. Furthermore, it looks like B6 may have more general anti-stress action...

    Stress

    The message I get when I read Ray Peat is that we should avoid stress as much as possible. Now it's possible, even likely, that I am misinterpreting the message. But when I read threads like this one on intermittent fasting (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2509), and others on exercise and cold showers, it...

    The Non Nutritional Side Of Stress Reduction

    I wanted to start a post regarding the two pronged approach to stress and all of the associated issues. Getting your nutrition right is one prong and the other is psychological. Meditation has been shown scientifically in many different studies to reduce stress response, promote a positive...
