The more I read and hear about health, the more I understand how everything is deeply interconnected, to the point where you can't keep track of all interactions unless you are Georgi Dinkov or Peat himself.
It is just inhumanely complex.
For example:
Antibiotics alter bile composition. Not directly, but some bacteria are responsible for producing enzymes that will turn primarily bile acids into secondary bile acids.
If we follow Peat's recommendation to keep a relatively sterile gut in order to limit the harm of endotoxins, how are we supposed to have our bile system work efficiently. We have to supplement bile?
Same goes for stomach acid: it isn't properly produced without the right bacteria and enough bile signaling.
Same goes for androgens: their production by the Leydig cells is dependent on other bacteria:
The Gut Microbiota and Developmental Programming of the Testis in Mice
Sounds to me like once you pull the trigger on a few supplements or medication, you are doomed to replace everything else as the natural cycle is broken.
Help I guess?
