The one thing you’ve learned about your health

[forpeatsake]

What is the main thing you think you have learned about your own health since listening, reading, interacting with others on Ray’s work?

[Lilac]

That I was hypothyroid–various symptoms, such as being cold (cold extremities, always needing a sweater, etc.). And I could fix it relatively easily–diet, sunlight, maybe a few supplements.

which supplements did you incorperate?

[Lilac]

Progesterone, cascara, aspirin.

The first thing was waking up to the importance of sugar intake.

My answer is the same as yours Gawdawg. I feel so much better and have tons of energy with an abundance of sugar sources. They make me sleep good too, which has it’s own domino effect in the right direction of healing other things. Plain white sugar is a great antihistamine as well.

That so many illnesses like colds, flu, allergies and more are intestinal related…

For me, hard to nail one down…

*sugar being supportive
*realizing I have been hypo most of my life after learning the symptoms
*progesterone benefits
*full blown learning about PUFA
*the rat study where they were allowed to play and create and explore
*starch
*Perceive, Think, Act

How natural stuff  works better because natural food/herbs are more balanced. Beautiful.

One of the things I am learning or realizing is that our body remodels itself according to whatever we give it to do so. I run across old photos of my self over the decades and I am amazed at how different I look through the years. I could look at each decade and remember what I was eating and how it changed me. I have applied myself to eating the strategic ways that Ray Peat has recommended for many years now except with a lot more imagination. I really doubled down though this past six months to do even better and even more. I have really notice changes in my face structure this year that I am liking. I ran across a photo today from March of 2022 and compared it to today’s photo and clearly my face has changed. The first photo is from 2022 and the second with the sharper jawline is from today. The one thing that I can say about that photo from two and a half years ago is that I was really stressed in a bad way and eating a lot of grains, and no fruit or gelatin at all. My one brown eyeshadow and my face powder are the same three things I have worn  for decades, so nothing there has changed…
