My most prevalent symptoms still seem to relate to higher estrogen and serotonin.  Clues for me are my eyelids tend to sting and itch when starch is part of the diet.  I…Read more

I wonder about the bitter aspect because it seems Traditional Chinese Medicine views bitter as helpful for the liver?

@Lollipop How true about cholesterol!  Our current dietary guidelines are overlooking the positive role it plays in our metabolism!

Does anyone think things like a soda machine where you purchase CO2 canisters would be useful even though Dr. Peat says in the above video that we “burp” out most of it?

I also use Cari’s suggestions for other dairy products with low lactic acid to help with adequate protein and nutrients.
