Big ups to Cliff McCrary and his excellent blog that I blatantly plagiarize. You complete me Cliff.
Onto this weeks post:
"If we learn to see problems in terms of a general disorder of energy metabolism, we can begin to solve them." - Ray Peat, PhD

"You can't understand the other things that I'm working on unless you know where serotonin fits in. To understand unsaturated fatty acids vs. saturated, you have to understand estrogen and serotonin, and to understand thyroid, you have to understand all of those." - Ray Peat, PhD

A quick update for those that are concerned about my lack of weblogging:
1) First and foremost, I have been working extremely hard attempting to wrap-up my new guide, The Peat Whisperer: Increasing The Metabolic Rate Through The Visionary Work of Raymond Peat PhD

Similar to the wildly popular Ray Peat's Brain: Building a Foundation for Better Understanding, I thought it would be useful to create an index of sorts to help aid in understanding Dr. Peat's orientation.

Some things never change, but sometimes they do. In the case of my dietary habits, they do. In the case of adrenal fatigue, they don't.
Back in '06 adrenal fatigue was HOT. Similar to the thoughts of the ladies on Stop The Thyroid Madness, you simply could not fix your health if you had sick-belabored-adrenal-glands.

04/14/12: Dr. Harris and I have since exchanged several cordial emails about whether or not I misrepresented his position in this article. As I don't feel right editing the post, or deleting it, please read our exchanges and go after me in the comments if you feel that I'm full of shit.

This should come as a surprise to absolutely no one reading this weblog, but a few weeks ago in a small study found that those suffering from male pattern baldness (MPB) were experiencing heightened levels of an unsaturated fatty acid breakdown product called prostaglandin D2.

The intestine is a constant source of stress. No matter how many trillions of strands of probiotics you take, no matter how many grams of glutamine you shovel down your gullet, and no matter how many herbal anti-fungals you swallow, a "leaky" or permeable intestine cannot be fully addressed without exploring the roles of endotoxin, serotonin, and estrogen.

I've been receiving some reader mail from those of you taking thyroid and/or aspirin and experiencing negative effects.
One email explained that aspirin "intensified" their hypo symptoms, while another explained that thyroid made their face swell.
