Hi,
I came to Peat during the time that turned out to be my metabolic death, or the beginning of the worst health ever - I am ashamed to say, self induced.
This runs like a series of (self induced) unfortunate events that haven't turned out to be as random as they seemed to me. If I knew 6 month ago how rapidly health can deteriorate..... I always took all of it for granted and was so busy working, working, always working and making snappy decisions for my health and nutrition.
2 years ago I gave up cigarettes, a very emotional thing for me. I didn't smoke a lot, but I loved them dearly. I then gained the weight. Fast forward to Summer 2013, 6 month ago, I fasted for 30 days. I had nothing but lemon water with maple syrup with cayenne for 30 days. That was in July, and I don't even care how much weight I lost, it is irrelevant now. By end of September I lost half of my hair and was diagnosed hypo and prescribed 25mcg of levothyroxine. By end of December, a few weeks ago, I was told of a huge ovarian cyst.
I can see it all more clearly now: in Peat terms, I am like some kind of health landslide cliche.
I can vouch Peat being correct when he describes how bad fasting is.
Luckily: the cyst is benign, my hair is growing back, and I have the privilege of integrating Ray Peat's advice into my life. I feel as if for Ray Peat alone, my idiotic mistakes may have been worth it. Thank you for reading.
