Me

About me, well I feel like a teenager. I feel better at sixty than I did at twenty! I owe my good health to Ray Peat. I am 5’4 and 145 pounds. Now if I were that weight in my twenties I would have been devastated. I was underweight in my twenties living on croissants, toast and an occasional burger. I suffered from insomnia, sleepwalking spells, headaches, fainting episodes, vomiting, sometimes weekly, and I was extremely underweight. I weighed 106 pounds at one point, wearing a size zero. Having two children cured those issues, only to get a new set of issues. I had histamine issues, weight to lose and so many odd maladies, but that all changed when I found Ray Peat’s work.

I have been nothing, but amazed at how resilient the body is if you treat it right. The age spots on my arms have disappeared, my wiry gray hair has turned soft again, and I don’t have weight issues anymore, unless I eat mindlessly. I don’t take medications or supplements, and I don’t go to the gym. I do keep moving though, and I try new things. I sleep great now and have boundless energy. Those who know me from the RPF know I have experienced a lot, and what I have learned from those experiences is what I share. I know how to lose weight, how to cook healthy and delicious food and I grow fruit. I grow a lot of fruit, and I love it! I don’t want to talk about me here, I want to give and take on this website and on it’s forum. I have so much to give as well as learn and am excited to have this place to do it. Thank you to those on the RPF who encouraged me to do this for the past three years, and a thank you to those joining me. My wish is for everyone to achieve their best health and be happy. I am going to do this well, so wish me luck cause here I grow!
