I have craved and eaten chocolate two days in a row. I had that chocolate in the house for weeks. Why does the craving strike at a given time? Need for minerals, the saturated fat, the sugar? All of the above? For me, a good dose of chocolate is like stoking the furnace. NOW comes the motivation and the ability to do chores or exercise or read with focus and comprehension. Even after all these years of doing Peat, reading Peat, appetite remains mysterious.
(To add context, I would gladly eat chocolate daily but avoid it because of the calorie bomb.)
@J.R.K. —- I notice that Georgi has not done any new interviews with Mercola or Saladino. I think it is probably the right move.
<span class=””>@J.R.</span>K. —- I am not a scientific thinker, so I don’t have any theories or deep thoughts on how thyroid or aspirin or vitamin D work. Does “Because Ray said so” count? <joke
I do a few things because they were so strongly endorsed by Ray and are now by Georgi, like taking an aspirin once or twice a week. I don’t feel an effect from that.
I take four drops of Georgi’s Tyromax thyroid daily, and the latest bottle I received has been working noticeably better than the last. I can feel my heart beating strongly sometimes when I am sitting. (I haven’t measured my pulse in years.) And some evenings I have been able to stay awake till 10 pm or even 11, like a normal person, instead of crashing at 8:30. I fall asleep easily. I still have the problem of not sleeping long. Five to six hours is my usual. Though I’ve had more seven-hour sleeps lately, which I hope is a good trend.
I am strong on “perceive.” Some days the ATP is being produced in abundance, and then motivation is not a problem. I want to take a walk, clean the house, etc. And when my metabolism is up like that, problems seem smaller, manageable, and I can laugh and joke about what was depressing on a low-energy (low ATP?) day. I really believe in metabolic health being the key to mood or mental health.
For me, coffee, or perhaps I mean caffeine, can pull me out of a dip in energy and get me going on a slow day. An extra cup once in a blue moon is nice to have in my bag of tricks.
