Hi everybody! This is my very first post. (Forgive me if I'm not following a protocol correctly)
I have a myriad of questions, but rather than ask them all in one post, I'll separate them topic by topic so they will be easier for others to find in the future.
My first question is about oysters and liver. I see they are two staples in a Ray Peat inspired diet. I have a very hard time eating liver (last time I tried was 2 years ago and I couldn't eat more than one bite) and pretty much an impossible time eating any seafood (I've tried my entire life to eat any kind of seafood but it always triggers a gag reflex in me. I literally cannot swallow it). I have a strong gag reflex and find it almost impossible to swallow things that trigger it, which liver and oysters both do. So...
Is there an alternate way to eat these things without having to chew and swallow them? Or another way to get the nutrients that they have? Thank you
Background about me: I'm a female who is mainly looking for less hair shedding / thicker hair, and more energy (have on-again, off-again symptoms of adrenal fatigue). Other than hair and energy/mood, I am pretty healthy in most other regards.
