Hi. I've finally come to register at this forum which I've read for a year, and also tried learning with resources on the net about bioenergetics. I'm going to explain a little bit about my journey with health issues (with the intention for any advice from yours). Also my experience trying to follow some of the Peat and others advice on the net and type of diet i'm following now. Any help or advice would be thakful and surely will be revised. I ain't an expert but certainly i'm someone that likes to experiment.
I'm a male, 35 now, tall 1.90m, mexican.
At 29 I learned I had polycystic kidney and polycystic liver (my mother died of renal failure and also two of my brothers have the polycystic kidney issue). Doctors would tell me this was something that would be incrementing year by year until death (I had exams year by year and fortunately the cysts weren't growing, almost static). Since then, I've tried some alternatives, some that I think were hurtful and others more benefitial. I think this has helped me learn lots of things of nutrition and foods, and be a more compassionate person with the others. The journey had also made me realized some other stuff I have with me (emotionally and physically, and trying to make changes low step, but still, changes). On the things I've tried are ayurveda (I knew someone in the health community in my city who practice medicine with this option), unfortunately I think some of her recommendations were by far controversial nutritionally (like eating sweet industrial bread) to calm Pitta dosha, but she introduced me to milk and white sugar as benefitial. During my journey with her which lasted month consultations for a year and a half, I developed red gums (which I havent corrected), some insomnia and tiredness. I later tried some other ayurvedic options but still wasn't happy with that (felt more like an authoritarian cult), part benefitial but with nuances. Later, as I found that modern medicine and health nutrition business supossedly had a good intervention with PKD with diet, I learned about plant based keto diet strictly for this condition, I tried but started losing weigh (I've always been on the lower weight) and later pandemic times I lost more weight. I was weighing like 63KG, obviously I was depressed as I was trying a lot of stuff without the sucess of feeling better. I also tried some keto, some carnivore, herbs (a la susun weed), but didn't last those options. Finally, I think at the end of 2021 I learned about Ray Peat, started reading Danny Roddy stuff and watching podcasts from him and others. I made a consultation with a bioenergetic expert from instagram (this helped me lots with gaining weight I actually am on 76KGS) and I've learned lots of from the mineral from fruit. But as I progressed in some things I think I have some issues from that experiment. For now, I still have red gums, I started peeing a lot of times at night for months (for the past two weeks it miracously stopped, I tried Vitamin D and stopped caffeine and I think it's quite helping that issue). I also have strong edema in my eyelids. I think because of hypothirodism severe I'm not that good with Vitamin A (whenever I have liver i don't sleep well), i was having carrot salad daily but i think i have problems with carotene (when I eat sweet potatoes it confuses me a lot). Of the others fruits I ate religoiusly in my life is bananas and now I get like maniac thoughts with banana.
About my lifestyle background I'm a photographer and scene/performer/dance artist. During the recent years I was training excesive lots of time for dancing. I was having like 2-3 hours ballet class and also rehearsals (and my other chores like picking food and walking with kgs of food of distante to home), tried to live with few money (which I still do) and yep, very stressed financially every month (opportunities for artists were less during covid), and with the excess exercise and training I was so tired of trying new things. Now I quit ballet because it was too much, but in the run I lost social life, friends, opportunities for work that I stablished before I was dancing. So yeah, training has its ups and downs, but I think trying to do this while very stressed was a mistake. And the financial stuff was/is a huge problem for developing my life as an artist and as a person. For now I dont have the money to run on hormone tests or special tests, just watching my health with feelings and intuition.
Anyways, I'm going to tell what Im trying for now, maybe it will sum to your recommendations or less. What I eat now is whole milk from cow or goat, butter, apples, papaya, orange, grapes, dates, white potato, coconut oil, eggs, raw honey, white sugar (but Im not sure if it's damaging my teeths or causing me bacteria in the gut), onions, beef heart, ground beef, guava, cheese, and some mushrooms (in summer watermelon, melon also). I do bag breathing and some red light when I remember. Things I supplement sometimes with no regular frequencies are aspirine, methylene blue, cynomel, carbonate (from eggshells), salt from mortons, Vitamin D and some magnesium. Sorry to write a lot I tried to be explained as possible. Thanks for anything.
