I found this short discussion with Gary Brecka to be quite reinforcing in my own efforts to incorporate Dr Peats ideas and and thoughts into my own version of a Peat inspired lifestyle.
Gary Brecka has his own longevity enterprise and has been quoted as saying that any disease can be cured by identifying the persons vitamin and mineral deficiencies. He also advocates things like sunlight, and red light.
But I found the observations on sense of purpose, and meaning, over the type of diets that we incorporate (with the caveat that they are whole food diets) to be most enlightening.I look forward to the forums insights on this. In the first three minutes there is a discussion on oxytocin as well as sex and how this hormone is important, for those that might not want to hear that aspect or find it offensive at the three minute mark they talk on the other aspects that I mentioned above.
The point in your video about isolation causing decline, and the broken heart syndrome, is something to really think about. I have a 100-year old lady that I visit often. The difference in her mood and pain level is often so different from the time I get there to the time I leave. This is especially true when the visit produces a lot of laughter. Bonding is important, even a pet will do.

Having a cenetarian in your life, you might be able to give some context as to how she was able to achieve her longevity. In terms of diet, exercise, or mindset.@J.R.L “Having a cenetarian in your life, you might be able to give some context as to how she was able to achieve her longevity.

I wondered that too until I ran across some studies that suggest that the later the menstrual cycle starts the longer a woman lives and my friend started hers when she was 17-years old…
“Later puberty has been linked to improved health in adulthood and living longer.”
@J.R.L Also my one hundred year old friend came from a poor family and this is what Ray Peat said about that…
“Low thyroid function, relative over-feeding, and the presence of unsaturated oils in the diet are known to accelerate sexual maturity. Early sexual maturity has been associated with premature aging and early death. Fish, octopuses, mice, humans, and plants offer examples in which reproductive maturity initiates the aging process. Although it used to be said that “hot tropical” people had early puberty, and “cold northern” types had late puberty, the best available data contradict that opinion. The oldest averages for the occurrence of puberty occur in tropical regions. (Figure 3) Mere calorie restriction can delay puberty (and this usually means a low fat diet, for poor people in the developed countries) as can be seen in data from Appalachia; late puberty, accompanied by very low birth weight for babies, is the typical pattern of poverty. Given enough fat (especially vegetable oil, including that in beans and corn), harsh conditions can probably cause earlier puberty. but I don’t know of any clear evidence on this subject.” -Ray Peat
These are interesting observations <span class=”atwho-inserted” contenteditable=”false” data-atwho-at-query=”@Ca”>@Cari</span>. I had seen the notion of better longevity with less chronic illness associated with later entry ages into puberty. But the lower income levels of society in our modern world might be different given the advent of ultra processed foods, with refined grains and chemicals applied in every aspect of modern agriculture practices adds a change of epic proportions.
I wonder now if this lower income and later entrance into puberty connection is still a viable connection in todays modern world?
