Q:
I'm curious about your thoughts on irreparable damage being done to health - is there any point after which the human body can't recover from degeneration brought on by chronic stress and poor metabolic health? Chronically high cortisol, estrogen etc.
I'm aware that this depends a lot on how you define 'damage'. I suppose the familiar aging process can be thought of as irreparable degeneration. In this instance, I'm concerned mainly with the metabolic health of a younger person 25-50.
Or, do you believe that a 25-50 year old is always capable of correcting metabolic health with adequate nutrition, lifetstyle changes etc? Do you believe that in certain scenarios supplemental thyroid, cyproheptadine etc are absolutely necessary in shifting the balance back in the other direction?
Peat:
The intestinal flora change along with changes in the metabolism, and have to be taken into account. The changes in the environment have to be greater when the degeneration is more advanced. Antibiotics and antiinflammatories and hormonal supplements become more important when a person is seriously sick. Often, even after the age of 50, just going to a high sunny place and eliminating the worst foods is all it takes to restore good health.
