    Stress (from Poverty) Leads To Early Puberty And Health Problems In Adulthood

    I recently posted a study on the effects of pregnancy stress (cortisol) on the development and aging of an organism. Chronic Stress During Pregnancy Accelerates Fetal Aging And Harms Its Health Peat also wrote that virtually all features of aging can be produced by administering a large dose of...

    Chronic Stress During Pregnancy Accelerates Fetal Aging And Harms Its Health

    Allopathic medicine still denies that maternal stress during pregnancy affects the child's long term health. If anything, they say that the fetus may experience a slightly increased risk of infection during pregnancy but that risk goes back normal as soon as the baby is born. The main argument...

    CNN: Saturated Fat Does NOT Clog Your Arteries; Stress And Inflammation Do

    I think we will be seeing more and more of these "breaking news" on major news outlets as the house of cards made of PUFA slowly crumbles. The FDA already reversed its official recommendations on cholesterol, but left the policies on saturated fat intact even though the same study on which the...

    Loneliness Increases Alcohol Tolerance, May Explain "addiction"

    I posted several studies in the past about the connection between stress hormones and "addiction", especially alcohol. This new study adds more evidence to that link and now also draws serotonin in the picture. Apparently, social creatures are much more sensitive to inebriation effects of...

    Facial Deformity May Be An Indication Of Early Life Stress

    A few people have asked Peat about bodily facial and torso deformities and he has said it is likely due to high estrogen, especially in early childhood. This recent study seems to add evidence to that hypothesis by showing that crooked bite (a type of facial deformity) is an indication of stress...

    Stress Makes Parents Selfish And Makes Them Neglect Their Children

    I think every stressed parent can testify to the validity of this finding. Even if stress does not make a parent more selfish it certainly makes a parent less attentive because of the diversion of energetic resources to deal with the stressor. So, this study suggests that many (if not all) cases...

    High Cortisol / Testosterone Ratio As A Likely Cause Of PTSD

    As the study below says the role of cortisol (C) in mood disorders has been known for more than 30 years. Cortisol's role in depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, and eating disorders is well known even in mainstream psychiatry and many of the new drugs in pharma pipeline are aimed at suppressing...

    Solid Evidence That Stress Causes Obesity

    The statement in the title should be fairly obvious for most forum members or people following Peat's work. In fact, most endocrinologists are keenly aware of the role of stress and cortisol in causing obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. However, believe it or not, officially the FDA and...

    Insulin Resistance As An Endocrine Disorder

    Physical Stress Or Night-shift Work Decrease Female Fertility

    The Antidepressant Mechanism Of Androsterone

    Stress At Work Increases Risk For Certain Cancers

    Even Minor Stress Substantially Decreases DHEA-S Levels

    Most endocrinologists are at a loss when asked what leads to lower DHEA-S levels. The generic response is "aging" but the DHEA-S have been steadily declining over the last 30 years (just as testosterone) in young people, so that explanation does not add up. While Peat has not directly written...

    Your Confidence In Making Decisions Depends On Your Heart Rate

    Hypothyroidism (Cortisol, Prolactin And Adrenal Hyperactivity) Causes Balding

    I wanted to post this as quite a few people have raised points about androgens causing hair loss. The so-called "male pattern baldness" (MPB) exists in women as well and is in fact quite common in older women (as it is in men) since 50%+ of older women have some stage of baldness as well.

    CFS Is Likely Hypometabolism Triggered By Environmental Stress

    Estrogen Potentiates "addiction" Through The Endocannabinoid (CB1) Receptor
