Do you have such a problem or is it just me?
Quote from 45:55 timestamp but overall a great show. Ray Peat wouldve supported MU's take I think, considering he spoke out against CIA ops.
America is under a trance, time to wake up.
Hi peaters,
This morning, I had a strange experience while waking up. I saw what looked like a spider about the size of my hand right next to me in bed. It looked so real that, for a moment, I genuinely wondered whether it was actually there.
After looking into it, I came across the term hypnopompic hallucination, which refers to vivid sensory experiences that occur during the transition from sleep to wakefulness. Apparently, these experiences can happen to otherwise healthy people and aren’t necessarily a sign of an underlying condition.
For context, I’ve been taking 100 mg of aspirin daily for about a month.
While researching possible causes, I came across information (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12509942/) about chronic aspirin poisoning (salicylate toxicity), which can cause neurological symptoms, including confusion, delirium, and hallucinations. This generally occurs when excessive amounts of aspirin accumulate in the body over time, so I realize that my daily dose is much lower than the doses typically associated with this kind of toxicity.
Has anyone experienced vivid visions, sleep paralysis, or hallucinations since starting to take aspirin daily? (I’d still like to believe that the spider was just a hallucination.)
Looking for ideas, open to any amount of mechanistic explanation or empirical evidence or anecdotes, I'm just at a loss.
I am extended nursing an older toddler and plan to be nursing very often in the next twenty years (if I have more children). I am quite fat despite eating maybe 2500-3300 calories (which is only a little bit more than I have always eaten including while slim). When I eat less than this I immediately have a whole host of health problems. The 'low fat' idea is similarly out as it is inappropriate given my body is already depleted from pregnancy, birth and multiple years of breastfeeding. I resorted to low-carb at my high weight which helped me lose 10kg very easily, and it felt very healthy and natural, but I don't believe it is healthy/sustainable for a longer period of time so have stopped. Pls don't say I ruined my metabolism with this as Peat himself wouldn't seem to agree and I just don't think I did, my body seems in better shape overall now than it was then.
I am tall and moderately active, my bf% is probably about 38%, I have a good and healthy body shape, but I am just about 15kg fatter than I should be. I feel I am also retaining a great deal of water. Some muscle issues and weaknesses through my core are contributing to poorer digestion and hunger signalling. I wasn't fat growing up and no-one in my family is though they tend towards height and muscularity.
Thyroid? Other supplements? Mold detox? Eating even more? Weight training? Pls share ideas or link to any forums/people who have discussed this.
Edit: I eat well eg potatoes, meat, eggs, organs, yoghurt, fruit and vegetables, rice, sometimes junk but rarely. Lots of saturated fat and gelatine. No gluten, no nicotine, no alcohol, and no coffee - I get insomnia from 1 coffee in the morning, which wasn't always the case, I used to drink it heavily.
I mean starch is an inexpensive and readily available energy source, often already prepared or easy to make yourself. Not being able to consume it feels like a burden - like a handicap in life.
In order to obtain the few individual benefits that starch offers in terms of muscle glycogen and mineral retention, someone has to eat copious amounts of sugar to the point where it's not palatable anymore.
It seems that for these people the only way to break free from glucose dependency is the keto diet, although it's known that this status is absolutely suboptimal - just like the other.
What's the peaty explanation of why im more easily aroused when im more sleep deprived than usual?
I'm a 18 year old male and had my appendix removed via surgery 6 months ago(it was an emergency). I initially thought that my body would recover after 3-4 months rest and so did my doctor but until recently I had been experiencing the following issues:
-fluffy and loose stool.
-low energy and cold hands and feet.
-No proper deep sleep and I'm also frequently seeing dreams.
-hairloss and some degree of balding.
-capped performance in gym.
I read generative energy and have also been reading the articles and have made the following adjustments in order to heal my body:
-Cut seed oils, using coconut oil and olive oil instead.
-Cut dairy for the time being as it was a trigger to the loose stool.
-Minimal processed foods and instead increased intake of fruits, well cooked potatoes, weekly liver, and other peat recommended dietary choices.
-Aligning circadian rhythm and getting adequate sunlight exposure throughout the day.
Apart from these if there are any recommendations for me please share them as I am new to Peating.
