Dear peatarians,
Little background about me : 25 years French guy working in Iraq (Erbil, Kurdistan region), interested in optimizing health and performance. No biology/nutrition background apart of two years of binge reading on Paleo, autoimmunity etc before I ended up on RP website.
The work of Ray Peat is quite unknown in France to say the least. People there have this strong attachment to food traditions, and apart some Paleo on gymrats and vegetarianism, very vew specific diets gain the visibility they seem to have in the U.S. Is it that bad ? I don't know. The more I dig into nutrition, the more I feel I know too little, and I wonder when I will be able to find a resilient and efficient equilibrium with diet choices. Many mistakes and time lost. Happy the ignorants ?
Looking at the symptoms I am very likely to be hypothyroid because of years of attemps to lose fat + one year on Paleo. Trying to find a way to order thyroid supplement, but no easy to get it shipped to France or Iraq. Advices are welcome.
Looking forward to learn and share.
Thanks for your time and bon appétit !
Gascon
