WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.940 Well, welcome to the Get Fit with Jodell podcast, I'm as usual Jodell and I'm eager to welcome 00:00:08.940 --> 00:00:14.240 back on the show Dr. Raymond Pete, a regular here and for good reason, as you will find 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.400 out from his vast knowledge for those of you who are new to the podcast. 00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:23.640 And I think I speak for all of you who aren't new to the podcast when I say he's very much 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.880 appreciated by many of you listeners. 00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:30.440 And I know that because I typically reach out and let you guys know that I'm getting 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:36.740 ready to podcast with him and ask for questions and the emails overwhelm my inbox. 00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:39.100 So it's kind of cool. 00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:44.560 So we will get to as many of your questions today as possible and what we don't get to 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.440 will go into the queue for the next one. 00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:50.860 So thank you so much for your questions and Dr. Peat, thank you so much for coming back 00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:52.720 on the show and answering them. 00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:55.440 Okay, you're welcome. 00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:01.120 As always, you guys out there make sure that you take a moment and purchase Dr. Peat's 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:04.760 newsletter, which is one of my most favorite things I look forward to reading each time 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.120 they come out, you can purchase a hard copy or an email copy of his newsletter by emailing 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.280 Ray Peat's newsletter at gmail.com. 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.760 So I'll have that link in the show notes for you. 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.200 Okay, so Dr. Peat, I'm going to share something with you. 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.540 Finally, I had a client who got it. 00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:27.800 What I mean is after finally cracking down on her EMF exposure, her radiation exposure 00:01:27.800 --> 00:01:35.880 to 5G and Wi Fi and Bluetooth, all her irritating symptoms of numbness, tingling, back pain 00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:38.760 and other inflammation completely disappeared. 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.840 I had been trying to get her to understand this for a while. 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.480 So Dr. Peat, I'm going to start off this podcast asking you about your environment and your 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:52.320 EMF exposure because what I know of you is that you don't come on camera. 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:55.960 You're always on a phone when you dial in for a call. 00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:00.300 And so it seems to me that you really keep your device usage to a minimum and you kind 00:02:00.300 --> 00:02:03.500 of mitigate your exposure to radiation. 00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:05.240 And so I wanted to know that about you. 00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:10.920 I wanted to know like, do you do that on purpose, like to not have that, you know, camera and 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:13.360 computer always on? 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.520 And how do you feel about that? 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.520 What do you think? 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:29.320 Definitely it's all deliberate that my telephone is a landline and they're hinting that they 00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:39.960 might discontinue that service and all of my computer parts are connected by wires and 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:48.520 it's getting hard to like subscribing to the internet. 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:57.040 They automatically want to set up a little broadcast station in your house, but you can 00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:08.960 still manage to get, I forget what they call it, an ethernet table or single disk and then 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:21.200 each part speakers, monitor, computer, everything is separately connected to a wire. 00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:25.160 I agree with you on that and I wish, I live in a camper, so unfortunately I can't have 00:03:25.160 --> 00:03:31.040 a landline, but I do mitigate my phone where when I'm not using my cell phone, it's off, 00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:32.280 it's away from me. 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.720 I don't carry it on me unless it's in airplane mode because I'm concerned, like I've seen 00:03:37.720 --> 00:03:43.600 people really come back from poor health issues after mitigating their exposure and getting 00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:49.960 more nature outside, more sunshine instead of always being around this chronic wifi and 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.680 Bluetooth that we're exposed to. 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.320 So I'm glad to hear you say, and it speaks volumes about you because look how healthy 00:03:56.320 --> 00:04:00.120 you are at what 80, are you 87 or 88? 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.120 No, 85. 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:09.520 Oh, 85, okay, I put you too high, but regardless, that's I think one of the reasons, one of 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.000 the many reasons why you are as healthy as you are at 85, so I appreciate that about 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.000 you. 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:26.360 I hear from lots of people who are just in terrible condition, they actually say they 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:39.720 look at the screen on their wireless telephone, almost all their waking hours and it's no 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:49.280 wonder they're having eye problems and appetite problems, everything goes wrong when you simply 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:55.160 don't live the way an animal is designed to live. 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:56.160 Absolutely. 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.880 I'm so glad you mentioned the weight problems or the appetite problems because it's so true, 00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.120 there's published data on the fact that these devices and the exposure to them actually 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:11.040 elevate our insulin and our blood glucose and blue light after dark being on a device 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.640 after dark can stimulate cravings. 00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:18.040 So I mean, people don't think that this is affecting them until they get away from it 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.360 and then you'll see how different your body feels, that anxiety you feel, the inflammation 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:27.920 you feel, the appetites and cravings you feel, they might all go away just by limiting your 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.080 device usage. 00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:30.080 Would you agree? 00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:31.080 Right. 00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:39.040 I see it happening every few days when I can convince someone to just try it for a while. 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.160 No, I agree 100%. 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:42.680 So I'm glad I got your thoughts on that. 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.480 So we'll jump into questions now. 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.760 We've got a wide variety of questions. 00:05:46.760 --> 00:05:53.720 So the first one is from Spencer Steele and he asks, when do you think it's worthwhile 00:05:53.720 --> 00:06:00.520 to try antibiotics and how would you go about it when suffering things like food intolerances, 00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:03.040 violent reactions and gut issues? 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.640 So do you think there's a place for antibiotics, Dr. Peat? 00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:22.360 Oh, yeah, but the natural antibiotics, food, easily digested food will normalize the flora 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:33.560 in most cases, lots of unirritating fiber, the so-called soluble fibers, sometimes sort 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:50.200 of the most irritating of pectin, for example, can make an animal of both aggressive and depressed 00:06:50.200 --> 00:07:05.080 or a simple fiber, cellulose or oat man can have an anti-depress, anti-depression, anti-aggression 00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:08.080 effect. 00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:21.800 But then if that isn't enough, if you use one of the old antibiotics discovered 50 years 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:38.360 or more ago, then you avoid some of the worst risks, recent antibiotics are able to do things 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:48.440 like cause your tendons to break, very damaging to your connective tissues. 00:07:48.440 --> 00:08:00.120 So the old ones, erythromycin, penicillin, and tetracycline, they're still very effective. 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:15.280 They have modernized variants that are still pretty safe, erythromycin, anthocillin, and 00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:27.480 adoxycycline or minocycline are still very close to the original old antibiotics. 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:37.160 They can produce a beneficial effect in just a few hours, like taking a half a penicillin 00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:46.600 tablet four or five hours apart, sometimes within eight or 10 hours, your symptoms will 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.160 be gone. 00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:50.200 Wow. 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.520 And so you're not opposed to more maybe the old school antibiotics as opposed to some 00:08:54.520 --> 00:08:56.840 of the newer ones out, yeah. 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:04.200 Yeah, it's very important to check the side effects of an antibiotic, who's name you don't 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.200 recognize. 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.200 Okay. 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:12.160 And what about, you mentioned natural antibiotics, are you a fan of things like olive leaf extract 00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:19.360 or garlic or like colloidal silver or anything like that? 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:26.160 Some of those have at least as serious side effects. 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:37.240 I happen to know a woman who took colloidal silver, I think it was around 1950, and she 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:46.520 never appeared in public without gloves and a dark veil, because her skin color had turned 00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:47.520 purple. 00:09:47.520 --> 00:09:48.520 Wow. 00:09:48.520 --> 00:09:49.520 So interesting. 00:09:49.520 --> 00:09:50.520 Okay. 00:09:50.520 --> 00:09:59.200 So next question, this is a follow up to our last podcast on the advice about asthma. 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:05.400 This individual wants to understand the LOX enzyme and leukotrienes that are heavily involved 00:10:05.400 --> 00:10:11.720 with the asthma response, drugs like Singular, which antagonize leukotrienes are effective 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.880 at preventing asthma attacks. 00:10:13.880 --> 00:10:19.200 Could the reason be that a low blood sugar state will increase adrenaline, which would 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.880 then increase the activity of LOX? 00:10:21.880 --> 00:10:22.880 Yeah. 00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:23.880 Okay. 00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:24.880 Go ahead. 00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:25.880 Exactly. 00:10:25.880 --> 00:10:33.640 I think that's what brings on nocturnal asthma attacks, for example, a lot of people die 00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:42.760 during the night, because of the horrible attack of asthma, but normally, the blood 00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:52.280 sugar falls during the night, just so you can not waste your energy while you sleep. 00:10:52.280 --> 00:11:03.000 But the falling of blood glucose causes your histamine and adrenaline to increase. 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:14.320 And that combination causes inflammation and constriction of your respiratory tubes. 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:15.320 Cool. 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:16.320 All right. 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:21.760 So they kind of knew that inherently, they just needed your validation of that, so that's 00:11:21.760 --> 00:11:22.760 good. 00:11:22.760 --> 00:11:29.200 Dylan Knight asks, does Ray think that creatine monohydrate supplementation could be beneficial 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.800 for muscle recovery, brain function, et cetera? 00:11:33.800 --> 00:11:45.880 I would be very, very cautious with it, for sure, not in large quantities. 00:11:45.880 --> 00:11:56.760 Like getting too much protein, too much of that can increase your ammonia production, 00:11:56.760 --> 00:12:11.840 and the excess ammonia that you have to dispose of consumes your carbon dioxide to form urea 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:25.280 and detoxify the ammonia, but the consumption of your CO2 combining with ammonia is exactly 00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:36.440 what can bring on an asthma attack, because CO2 is sedative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-asma. 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:44.600 Yeah, no, I'm glad you mentioned really higher protein diets, too. 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:49.320 In your opinion, what is an adequate protein intake, because there's all schools of thought 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.320 out there about that, too. 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.240 Is it one gram per pound of body weight? 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.200 Is it half your weight in grams? 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.040 What do you say? 00:12:58.040 --> 00:13:01.680 It depends on your age, very largely. 00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:11.360 I rode a barn when he was beyond middle age, somewhat, decided to experiment with the high-protein 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:21.640 diet, and he had been just eating a traditional farm-type diet, and when he increased the 00:13:21.640 --> 00:13:32.000 protein, he found he had to steadily double his daily thyroid intake. 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:45.400 That's been 40-50 years ago that he mentioned that, but there's been very little follow-up 00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:57.600 on quite what that happens, but if you look at the requirement of a high-quality protein 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:09.060 to have optimal growth during youth, that drops off sharply as soon as you stop growing, 00:14:09.060 --> 00:14:28.400 because amino acids like mesionine, arginine, tryptophan, cysteine, and a few other amino 00:14:28.400 --> 00:14:38.320 acids are used primarily for growth and replacement. 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:45.960 So when you aren't growing, you note only the very small amounts to replace your skin 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:52.040 and hair and cells that are being renewed. 00:14:52.040 --> 00:15:05.920 So there's a great drop-off around the age of 30 in how much protein you really need, 00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:19.240 because when you're getting excess, these more recent studies are showing that just restricting 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:29.760 mesionine, for example, to the very small amount you need to renew your tissues in animal 00:15:29.760 --> 00:15:41.840 studies at that borderline mesionine deficiency extends their lifespan 40%, and you get smaller 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:57.120 increases if you restrict just one of the other turnover-supporting proteins like cysteine 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:09.440 in particular, and it happens that individually in excess of cysteine or tryptophan has a 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:21.280 direct inflammatory action, which can damage brain cells, increase the risk of asthma attacks, 00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:23.280 and so on. 00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:36.960 So a real requirement for these essential amino acids after the age of 30 probably fairly 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:49.160 continuously decreases right into old age, and people have noticed for a long time that 00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:59.120 very old people sometimes go along for years eating absolutely none of the essential amino 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:10.440 acids, living just on a jello, basically, which lacks all of the essential growth-promoting 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:24.840 amino acids, and in the last several years an anti-aging, anti-biotic called rapamycin 00:17:24.840 --> 00:17:27.920 is one of its names. 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:37.680 What it does is to inhibit an enzyme that promotes growth. 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:50.440 This growth-promoting enzyme is called an alien target of rapamycin or mTOR, and if 00:17:50.440 --> 00:18:06.180 you inhibit that by not eating these essential amino acids in excess, you turn off the excess 00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:13.680 growth stimulus and greatly reduce both aging and cancer. 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:26.620 And it's established as optimal amino acids intake, for example, in an old MIT study that 00:18:26.620 --> 00:18:41.680 an active younger person probably eats about 80 grams per day, but that goes with the assumption 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.440 that you're eating a regular amount of energy foods. 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:58.200 And so if you're eating 80 grams of good protein per day, that situation is also one in which 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:09.440 you're probably eating 4,000 calories per day just to maintain your good activity level. 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:19.840 If you, in middle age, find that you put on weight when you eat a normal 4,000 calories, 00:19:19.840 --> 00:19:26.240 people tend to cut back on the ratio of carbohydrate to protein. 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:42.680 And instead of having, say, 400, 4,000 calories and 50 grams of protein, they will get a much 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:53.520 higher proportion of their protein, calories from protein rather than carbohydrates. 00:19:53.520 --> 00:20:04.680 So if you look at a healthy person's ratio, they're burning lots of carbohydrate calories 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:19.800 in combination with that 80 grams, for example, but if you cut your calories by half to avoid 00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:29.960 any excess weight, then you have to proportionally cut your protein basically in half. 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:39.960 I've suggested that to people who were having all kinds of anti-cyroid symptoms, couldn't 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:49.600 get their temperature up, their heart rate was always slow, and all of the signs of hypo-cyroid 00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:52.480 were there. 00:20:52.480 --> 00:21:04.120 If they just increased either decreased the protein number of grams or increased the carbohydrate 00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:14.680 number of grams, the latter, they might put on extra fat, but if they keep the ratio of 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:26.000 maybe seven grams of carbohydrate to each gram of protein, so your diet would be something 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:38.960 like 50 grams of protein and maybe 400 grams of carbohydrate. 00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:45.720 That raises your temperature, increases your heart rate, and gets your thyroid going again. 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:46.720 Cool. 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:52.480 Okay, so out of curiosity, how much protein do you think someone like you at 85 eats or 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.920 how much do you eat? 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:04.240 I've been experimenting cutting back my protein, and I find that I don't need as much thyroid 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.880 supplement to keep everything working. 00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:21.800 It's hard to not exceed 50 grams a day of protein, but by cutting fat calories drastically, 00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:32.360 then you can do it, you can eat pretty much all the calories you can hold if it's in the 00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:34.560 form of carbohydrates. 00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:41.680 Okay, so the next question I stuck in here because my seven-year-old loves you, and she 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.240 has another question for you. 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:49.480 She likes to ask questions whenever I do these podcasts, and she told me to tell you hello. 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.320 She asked, "Why is gluten not great for our bodies?" 00:22:53.320 --> 00:23:00.120 She told me that I might have an answer, but she wanted to know what your answer is. 00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:05.680 It's one of the storage proteins. 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:20.120 It's particular for certain grasses like wheat, and it stores the energy and amino acids that 00:23:20.120 --> 00:23:27.800 the plant needs when you moisten the seed to activate the enzymes. 00:23:27.800 --> 00:23:39.320 It provides both energy and amino acids to sustain the growth of the plant proteins. 00:23:39.320 --> 00:23:51.320 It's a very low-quality protein, nutritionally, such that if you soak your seeds and trick 00:23:51.320 --> 00:24:06.100 them into thinking they're going to grow, the nutritional protein value increases as 00:24:06.100 --> 00:24:17.920 the toxic effects of the gluten are decreased. 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:32.760 The nature of this particular protein happens to overlap with some of the molecules in the 00:24:32.760 --> 00:24:48.800 covering of insects, and some microorganisms, and agenically or immunologically, have these 00:24:48.800 --> 00:25:02.040 similarities between gluten and harmful insects covering. 00:25:02.040 --> 00:25:12.240 There's a further overlap that, under the influence of estrogen, our intestinal tissues 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:25.080 also become activated in that, so that women in particular are especially sensitive to 00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:33.280 gluten, including the irritating effects of gluten. 00:25:33.280 --> 00:25:42.600 Basically, it's a storage protein rather than a functional growth-related protein. 00:25:42.600 --> 00:25:43.600 That's so fascinating. 00:25:43.600 --> 00:25:45.480 I didn't even know that women were more sensitive. 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.540 I mean, it makes sense, because the clients I see, it's always the women that seem to 00:25:49.540 --> 00:25:54.200 have the biggest gut issues going on, or the symptoms related to gluten intolerance such 00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:59.000 as anxiety or heart palpitations and things like that, so that's really interesting that 00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:05.680 you've even seen women in general be more sensitive to the effects of gluten. 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:13.880 Next question is, AKS111 asks, "Does vitamin D supplementation lead to magnesium depletion?" 00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:31.960 No, I think it helps to regulate both magnesium and calcium, and theoretically there might 00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:41.360 be a point at which you could have antagonism between magnesium and calcium, but generally 00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:52.120 they are both quieting, steadying, protective minerals with very similar effects to each 00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:54.120 other. 00:26:54.120 --> 00:27:07.440 You can inject them intravenously with a sedating action. 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:20.380 Sulfate, for example, has been used as a general anesthesia, and you get a definite calming 00:27:20.380 --> 00:27:30.520 or quieting effect from the intravenous calcium administration, and both of those are supported 00:27:30.520 --> 00:27:42.120 and normalized by vitamin D. There's a close interaction with thyroid hormone, too. 00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:54.520 In the deficiency of thyroid hormone, your cell can't bind and retain magnesium, and 00:27:54.520 --> 00:28:08.320 the calcium steadying effect is fairly useless if you don't have the ability to retain magnesium 00:28:08.320 --> 00:28:14.480 as one of the stabilizers. 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:20.240 But you would agree that magnesium is necessary for the assimilation of vitamin D, right? 00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:25.080 We need magnesium to help our bodies make vitamin D? 00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:30.540 Yeah, and both of them are closely connected to thyroid level. 00:28:30.540 --> 00:28:39.160 The magnesium is very, very quickly lost if your thyroid is deficient. 00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:46.120 Yeah, I had that issue when I went through the toxic mold, and my thyroid got pretty 00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:51.200 much blasted in the wrong direction, and I couldn't keep magnesium in enough. 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.760 It was like I couldn't get enough magnesium. 00:28:53.760 --> 00:29:03.600 I would still get leg cramps even after 1,200, 1,500 milligrams of magnesium. 00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:13.640 There are some books specifically on that, the important role of thyroid in maintaining 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:20.760 cell magnesium and holding down excitability and allergies and so on. 00:29:20.760 --> 00:29:25.640 Yeah, do you happen to know the names of those books we could look up? 00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:33.360 Cherry Aikawa, I think, is the name of the best author on that subject. 00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:38.920 Okay, I'll see if I can find that and put it in the show notes for people, too. 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:46.000 Next question, Sylvia254 asks, "What about melanoma and hyperpigmentation on the face? 00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.960 What causes it, and how can one reduce it?" 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.440 Not melanoma, melasma, I think, is what she means with the hyperpigmentation. 00:29:53.440 --> 00:30:04.960 Yeah, melasma is pretty much under the influence of estrogen, such as in pregnancy, in general, 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:16.120 as such as big blots of brown pigment around the lips and the house and forehead, cheeks. 00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:31.080 And it's because of the excitatory effects of estrogen, very similar other kinds of excitation 00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:46.680 will cause increased pigment formation, lack of energy induced by anything toxic will defensively 00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:54.280 turn on melanin synthesis. 00:30:54.280 --> 00:31:04.080 And it's sort of the model of basic irritation and toxic condition of the skin, but you can 00:31:04.080 --> 00:31:16.480 inject various things like chopped up sections of DNA and create a region of melasma-like 00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:30.640 pigmentation and a deficiency of niacin amide, you can reverse much of the melanoma effect 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:41.200 by applying a high concentration of niacin amide in water, fire every day to the area 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:52.400 of melanoma, and what we're doing is reducing metabolic, similar energy deficiency pigment 00:31:52.400 --> 00:32:03.560 formation happens with exposure to ultraviolet light or ionizing radiation. 00:32:03.560 --> 00:32:15.280 It's everywhere you look, these harmful excitatory processes, radiation, energy depletion, estrogen 00:32:15.280 --> 00:32:24.320 excess, all of these promote defensive pigment formation. 00:32:24.320 --> 00:32:30.280 And so would progesterone, could you actually apply progesterone topically to the melasma 00:32:30.280 --> 00:32:36.120 or the hyperpigmentation to see a difference in that too? 00:32:36.120 --> 00:32:49.080 Often by improving the vitality of the condition of the cells, it can temporarily darken the 00:32:49.080 --> 00:33:01.840 pigment, so I wouldn't use it alone, hoping to block the estrogen effect, better to work 00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:13.760 from the thyroid side to get your energy up and lower the estrogen before you try to progesterone. 00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:22.720 Okay, next question, Gina P. asks, "What are Dr. Peat's thoughts on ivermectin and does 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:29.320 he feel that humans should deworm themselves regularly like we do horses and dogs?" 00:33:29.320 --> 00:33:42.640 No, people are not so often exposed to worms and parasites, dogs and pastured animals are 00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:56.360 just almost daily exposed to parasites, but people with normal washing habits, household 00:33:56.360 --> 00:34:09.120 hygiene, and so on, are very, very seldom exposed and the effect of, the beneficial 00:34:09.120 --> 00:34:23.480 effects of ivermectin are mostly from anti-inflammatory actions, so in small amounts it's safe, but 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:35.880 it's the larger doses, possibly continued for a long time, as prevention that could 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:47.960 be harmful, because in the millions of doses that have been administered, it was almost 00:34:47.960 --> 00:35:01.440 always in just one or two or three doses to eliminate the parasites, and so it was never 00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:08.920 a prophylactic daily prevention syndrome system. 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:16.520 Yeah, and so, like looking into ivermectin, you're right, there are so many anti-inflammatory 00:35:16.520 --> 00:35:23.720 properties to it, as well as, like you can see research on like anti-tumor and anti-epileptic 00:35:23.720 --> 00:35:29.040 seizure, I mean there's all kinds of things that it affects, but like you're saying it 00:35:29.040 --> 00:35:34.440 really needs to be done cautiously, because long term, I mean are we killing off, when 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.600 you kill off parasites, like within medication like that, are you also killing off good bacteria, 00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:41.560 like would we be harming our gut flora? 00:35:41.560 --> 00:35:51.960 No, I've never heard of that problem with ivermectin, it's so mainly anti-inflammatory 00:35:51.960 --> 00:36:05.280 that's where the problems come in with epilepsy, cancer, and parasites, inflammation is the 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:15.040 whole problem, and so anything that will correct the inflammation takes care of the problem. 00:36:15.040 --> 00:36:22.000 Okay, all right, next is Adam Catches Fish, he asks what is a good protocol for a woman 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:28.560 of menstruating age to supplement with Progest E, how much per day and should that change 00:36:28.560 --> 00:36:32.880 when the time of the month changes in order to help with PMS issues? 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:45.960 Oh yeah, the first thing is to consider your body temperature in relation to the symptoms, 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:56.560 and often thyroid deficiency or nutritional deficiency might be the real cause of your 00:36:56.560 --> 00:37:08.240 PMS. Even though you can take a big dose to totally knock out the PS symptoms, such as 00:37:08.240 --> 00:37:20.080 migraines, if you don't fix the thyroid problem, it's going to bounce right back and need another 00:37:20.080 --> 00:37:31.440 big dose of progesterone. So the more progesterone it takes to alleviate a symptom, the more 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:42.640 likely you are to be hypothyroid. Ordinarily, the cycling woman should only use it from 00:37:42.640 --> 00:37:52.640 about two days after ovulation and can continue it up until the day menstruation begins. 00:37:52.640 --> 00:38:07.040 That natural pattern is promoting thyroid function while inhibiting estrogen effects, 00:38:09.600 --> 00:38:22.000 and that is protected against a long-range risk of cancer from the estrogen exposure. 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:40.160 So if you can give estrogen as long as you're interrupting estrogen with surges of progesterone 00:38:40.160 --> 00:38:50.080 or a good background of thyroid hormone, but you generally don't want to continue taking 00:38:52.000 --> 00:39:00.560 those progesterone every day of the month because it's the surging effect that specifically knocks 00:39:00.560 --> 00:39:13.760 out the estrogen keeping a lot of toxicity. So that just day 16, like for a 28-day cycle, 00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:19.280 you're thinking day 16 to day 28, doing that surge will help get estrogen levels down, 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:24.240 even harking back to that question about hyperpigmentation. That's maybe something 00:39:24.240 --> 00:39:29.840 they could try to do to knock down some of that estrogen that's causing the melasma. 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:38.480 Yeah, but being sure to pay attention to your temperature. The progesterone should 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:48.560 increase your basal temperature about a degree or more during that part of the month. 00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:54.640 If it isn't doing that, then you probably need a thyroid supplement. 00:39:54.640 --> 00:40:00.800 And so someone that was taking progesterone every day and they're cycling, that may put them at 00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:05.920 risk for promoting estrogen. You're not getting that surge. Is that what you're saying? So their 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:16.640 estrogen might stay high? Yeah, it doesn't increase the estrogen, but it fails to knock it out. 00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:22.560 Makes sense. You got to have the different variations that nature intended us to have. 00:40:22.560 --> 00:40:33.040 Okay, Eugenie Breda asks, "Dr. Peat, will you talk about your top 15 good carbs list?" Or maybe if 00:40:33.040 --> 00:40:41.520 you don't have 15, just your good carbs list. Okay, orange juice, all of the citrus juices, 00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:54.800 conquered grape juice, well-cooked root vegetables, turnips, carrots, 00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:07.120 well-cooked cabbage family, broccoli, and Brussels pouts, for example. 00:41:07.120 --> 00:41:25.120 The non-gluten grains are very safe, especially polished white rice, 00:41:27.120 --> 00:41:44.720 nixtamalized corn or lime process, corn, oat bran. I forgot how many that was, but you didn't get. 00:41:44.720 --> 00:41:49.680 Yeah, I kind of wrote them down, so I'll be sure to put it in the show notes. But yeah, 00:41:49.680 --> 00:41:53.200 that was a good amount. I mean, you're making me hungry too. Just talk about it. 00:41:54.800 --> 00:42:02.640 Okay, next one, we've got NCgirl9ify asks, "Dr. Peat, does vitamin D increase 00:42:02.640 --> 00:42:10.640 DHEA levels?" Thank you so much. Vitamin C? Vitamin D is a dog. 00:42:10.640 --> 00:42:23.440 Yeah, I think it does. It's anti-inflammatory, and I think that's favorable 00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:36.320 as to improving your DHEA to cortisol ratio. Okay, perfect. Another listener, they didn't 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:41.920 give their name, but they said, "You mentioned in response to an explanation on the dangers of EFA 00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:47.840 that although it was counterintuitive, it makes much sense to you. I'm struggling to understand 00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:53.200 how it makes sense. Could you please expound on your understanding? As a person is struggling 00:42:53.200 --> 00:43:01.840 with Hashimoto's and having recently recovered from colon cancer, I'm wondering how your form 00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:06.080 of eating compares with the Mediterranean diet, which is supposed to be one of the best. Could 00:43:06.080 --> 00:43:11.840 you please elaborate on EFA?" Oh, it's Gracie's gift. That's who asked that. 00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:16.880 What does that stand for? Essential fatty acids. The dangers of maybe, 00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:24.160 I guess she's maybe thinking of fish oil, like a highly-unsaturated fish oil. No, there are 00:43:24.160 --> 00:43:37.200 some very good books that go into a matter of more than a thousand references 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:47.600 on the question of essential fatty acids and fish oils. The name of one that occurs to me is 00:43:47.600 --> 00:43:53.440 fishy business. Okay, I'll put that in the net. And my website has, 00:43:53.440 --> 00:44:01.280 I think, three or four very basic explanations for 00:44:03.600 --> 00:44:14.000 why the doctrine of such a thing as an essential fatty acid was resurrected. It had been 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:24.880 knocked out, demonstrated to be a fallacy in the 1940s. It just absolutely knocked out. Nothing 00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:38.720 scientific left. But the seed oil industry was losing their customers. They produced a huge 00:44:38.720 --> 00:44:52.720 amount of soy oil and related polyunsaturated oils to make paints and plastics from petroleum 00:44:53.520 --> 00:45:04.640 displaced that around 1950. And they found that the essential fatty acids created economical 00:45:04.640 --> 00:45:18.880 faptein in pigs and other farm animals. So this was promoted, the essential fatty acids, or PUFA, 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:31.600 came to be advertised as edible because they would make pigs get fat cheaply. That led to 00:45:31.600 --> 00:45:41.520 promoting them as human health foods. A very ridiculous set of reasoning incorporated the 00:45:41.520 --> 00:45:55.200 idea that PUFA lowers cholesterol causes heart disease. Therefore, PUFA as an essential nutrient 00:45:55.200 --> 00:46:04.960 should be included in the diet. The more, the better. Every step of the reasoning was 00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:15.040 simply an advertisement to get people to fatten themselves on PUFA the way pigs were being fattened. 00:46:15.040 --> 00:46:28.480 So it's a gigantic industrial food fraud all through the 1950s. Absolutely no science remaining 00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:41.760 but penetrating just about everything in industrial society. Not only sold it to prevent 00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:51.840 heart attacks, but one particular set of experiments in veterans founded 00:46:53.120 --> 00:47:02.080 on the heart-protective diet, more people were dying of heart attacks caused by the essential 00:47:02.080 --> 00:47:10.320 fatty acids. And not only that, but besides heart disease, they were dying from a higher rate of 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:24.000 cancer exactly what the 1940s animal experiments had demonstrated. All of it lowers cholesterol 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:33.280 at the essential fatty acids are the basis for damaging the circulatory system 00:47:34.240 --> 00:47:42.240 and for activating cancer production. Okay, so check out, I'm going to put that fishy business 00:47:42.240 --> 00:47:46.480 link in the show notes so they can check that out. That sounds really interesting. I might have to 00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:56.080 read that myself. Yeah, there are several articles on the website about essential fatty acids. 00:47:58.160 --> 00:48:06.480 I think one contains about 80 references that nothing is huge since more recent books have done. 00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:12.880 Awesome. Okay, I like the next question and I'm going to have a follow-up question after it too, 00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:20.320 because this is a good question. Eli asks, when estrogen falls within the accepted normal range 00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:26.400 in a common blood test, does this mean estrogen levels are indeed normal for optimal health? Now, 00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:33.120 I'll add to that. I want to hear your thoughts on what somebody would actually get tested because 00:48:33.120 --> 00:48:40.400 there's estradiol, there's total estrogen serum. What is a proper blood test to see actually the 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:46.720 tissue levels of estrogen? And then to ask his question, are they indeed normal with this range 00:48:46.720 --> 00:48:57.120 that they give you? My website has the article called "Tissue Bound Estrogen" and that cites 00:48:57.120 --> 00:49:06.560 a few articles in which they actually measured the amount of estrogen in the various tissues 00:49:08.160 --> 00:49:17.600 versus the amount in the bloodstream. And what's in the bloodstream, most of it is circulating 00:49:17.600 --> 00:49:28.000 as a water-soluble form, either the sulfuric acid-bound form or the glucuronic acid-bound form. 00:49:28.720 --> 00:49:41.120 These are inert estrogenically and are leading the body, but if an irritation locally 00:49:41.120 --> 00:49:54.880 intervenes before these water-soluble forms have left in the urine, the inflamed tissue 00:49:55.920 --> 00:50:04.480 will bind to the circulating inactive estrogens and reactivate them. 00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:15.920 Protesterone is a tissue anti-estrogen factor that inactivates, 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:23.680 prevents the inflammation that captures estrogen out of the circulation 00:50:24.560 --> 00:50:41.200 and promotes re-attaching these solubilizing factors in a very systematic way. It lowers 00:50:41.200 --> 00:50:52.720 tissue estrogen content in lowering the tissue estrogen, it's re-establishing the water-soluble 00:50:52.720 --> 00:51:02.320 forms, letting it get the rest of the way out of the body through the kidneys. And so if you have 00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:13.200 adequate progesterone, you're going to have the inactivated forms of estrogen in circulation 00:51:14.080 --> 00:51:26.320 before it leaves in urine. But if you don't have adequate progesterone, all of these processes 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:38.640 are going to be in favor of reactivating estrogen in the tissues so that it manifests when your 00:51:38.640 --> 00:51:50.000 blood estrogen is very low. The crucial tissues such as the breast, the uterus, and several other 00:51:50.000 --> 00:52:01.280 tissues that are subject to developing cancer under the influence of estrogen, these tissues 00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:09.680 increase their estrogen content during menopause when your blood estrogen is lowest. 00:52:09.680 --> 00:52:22.480 That's why tissue bound estrogen concept neutralizes all of the medical reasoning 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:29.120 regarding the nature of menopause and what estrogen and progesterone are doing. 00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:34.720 Yeah, which makes sense why blood work is a snapshot in a week and a month and a day and 00:52:34.720 --> 00:52:39.280 it's really not always definitive, but symptoms don't lie. That's why I always have my clients 00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:44.160 fill out a symptom burden analysis. So really, if somebody's looking at a lot of high estrogen 00:52:44.160 --> 00:52:51.760 symptoms, that's where their answer is, yeah. Yeah, and the low body temperature is what the 00:52:51.760 --> 00:53:02.080 significance is very consistent. Estrogen lowers your body temperature and lower body temperature 00:53:02.080 --> 00:53:11.760 favors the production of estrogen. Okay, next question is from JD. He asks about your current 00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:18.800 thoughts on utilizing urea and if you think it would be safe to use ongoing or just during an 00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:31.040 acute period of noticeable edema. Oh, yeah, it has a well-established history for heart failure, 00:53:31.040 --> 00:53:43.120 for example, or for brain injury. There's one story on the internet of a kid who was 00:53:44.640 --> 00:53:55.120 brain injured losing progress, going backwards to losing reflexes. And they decided to, 00:53:55.120 --> 00:54:05.280 I think it was 90 grams of intravenous urea that they gave him. And that allowed the brain 00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:17.200 to give up its edematous fluid collection. And he was very quickly back at school 00:54:17.200 --> 00:54:24.320 with normal brain function where he had been approaching brain death. 00:54:24.320 --> 00:54:35.360 Okay, next one is Ruth asks, I have a few moles on my face when I apply Progest E. Is it okay to 00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:42.560 sweep over the moles or should I avoid them? I'm trying to reduce wrinkles. I've always avoided 00:54:42.560 --> 00:54:54.640 contact with vitamin E or other oily materials and moles just because vitamin E's viscosity 00:54:56.640 --> 00:55:10.240 can sort of seal up the pores and be irritating. And so, if I have a noticeable mole, I'll put 00:55:10.240 --> 00:55:21.520 either a progesterone or a DHEA or a mixture that may be as close as an inch to the mole, 00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:34.000 but a tissue surrounding. And that generally causes the pigment cells to leave the mole. 00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:45.360 Several times I've seen waves of pigment cells with the shape of the mole 00:55:46.640 --> 00:55:55.280 migrating away from the place where I put the progesterone. For example, on my temple, 00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:08.480 I put some DHEA and progesterone closer to my eyebrow. And behind the mole, the next day, 00:56:09.200 --> 00:56:22.080 I had a ring of pigment, sort of like a bullseye, and three days of applying new vitamin E and 00:56:22.080 --> 00:56:32.880 pore bone on the other side of the mole. I had three concentric rings of pigment leading the 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:41.600 mole. Meanwhile, the mole was fading and shrinking. I'm showing that the cells were absolutely 00:56:41.600 --> 00:56:53.120 fleeing from the abnormal mole, heading back into my scalp where the function was to 00:56:53.120 --> 00:56:56.240 produce pigmented terror. 00:56:56.240 --> 00:57:02.720 I love all your personal experiences. You've had so many different experiences 00:57:02.720 --> 00:57:09.200 with your health, so I love when you share those. Okay, Paula has a nice easy question. 00:57:09.200 --> 00:57:14.400 Is milk high in tryptophan? I'm trying to consume foods lower in tryptophan, but it's hard to get 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:20.080 the adequate amount of protein needed. A huge thank you to you and Dr. Peat. He literally saved my life. 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:33.120 Yeah, milk is high in tryptophan, so you just have to keep that in mind. But its effects, 00:57:33.120 --> 00:57:42.240 the excitatory effects of tryptophan are moderated by the effects of calcium, 00:57:42.240 --> 00:57:53.120 the quality effects, and the same amount of tryptophan in meat is accompanied by a very high ratio 00:57:53.120 --> 00:58:04.640 of phosphate, which is excitatory. And so from meat and fish, for example, the phosphate 00:58:06.640 --> 00:58:19.200 adds to the toxic inflammatory effects of tryptophan and the good high content of calcium makes the 00:58:19.200 --> 00:58:26.000 milk much safer. Okay, very good. Do you have time for a couple more? Are you doing okay on time? 00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:34.400 Okay, great. Tash Lawson asks, I get terrible hay fever despite taking antihistamines, 00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:39.280 working on gut health and lowering estrogen. Any thoughts from Dr. Peat would be hugely 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:48.320 appreciated. Thank you. Always consider your thyroid status, which controls your blood sugar 00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:59.040 and adrenaline and histamine. And as far as like that DAO enzyme that breaks down histamine in the 00:58:59.040 --> 00:59:04.240 gut, is there a certain way you like to promote that? Let's say somebody might be low on DAO. 00:59:05.200 --> 00:59:15.280 No, it's really more important to not make the histamine in the first place. 00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:24.640 Yeah, maybe avoiding those histamine reactive foods too. So okay, Vel plays 2.0. Now, this is 00:59:24.640 --> 00:59:32.400 kind of a controversial question, but I wanted to make sure and ask it. So there's a website that's 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:38.960 called NoFap and they're helping people get away from porn addiction. So he was asking, how about 00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:44.240 help with getting off of porn addiction as well as semen retention? 00:59:44.240 --> 00:59:54.880 How to get rid of semen retention? I think it's how to, I'm not sure, he just put semen retention 00:59:54.880 --> 01:00:05.200 in quotations. So I'm assuming it's maybe he wants to hold on to semen? Oh, that's an old 01:00:05.200 --> 01:00:18.960 Asian medical idea that the yogis who would retain it as long as possible, 01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:30.320 calling it the elixir of life. It was very similar to mandal energy. 01:00:30.320 --> 01:00:45.280 Their actual thinking wasn't too clear, but it definitely isn't good for the health to retain it. 01:00:50.000 --> 01:01:00.720 If a couple has been married a long time and hasn't expelled semen frequently, 01:01:00.720 --> 01:01:08.080 there's greater risk of having chromosomal defective 01:01:08.080 --> 01:01:13.920 sperm cells because of the age of the retained semen. 01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:21.040 And how about help with like porn addiction? Are there any recommendations you would have for that? 01:01:21.040 --> 01:01:28.320 I have no, I think mostly they need a girlfriend. 01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:36.640 Okay, I love your humor. All right, we'll do one more question here. Actually, 01:01:36.640 --> 01:01:41.600 two more because the second one is kind of fun. We'll do these last two and then I didn't get to 01:01:41.600 --> 01:01:46.480 everybody's, but it'll show up in the next time we do this. So if your question wasn't answered, 01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:53.040 just know that it will be. All right, ASK 111 asks, what do you do for low temperature and hair loss 01:01:53.040 --> 01:02:03.680 for someone with thalassemia minor genetic mutation? I think thyroid usually helps, you know, 01:02:03.680 --> 01:02:12.720 just by warming up your long bones, wearing long underwear, for example, or increasing your thyroid 01:02:12.720 --> 01:02:22.800 activity, your bones are warm and they make red blood cells a lot faster. 01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:30.560 Okay, cool. Last one here. And this is, I remember you mentioning these cookies, 01:02:30.560 --> 01:02:35.280 the recipe for the B1 cookies. And so this individual minor is asking, 01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:38.880 can you ask for the recipe for the B1 cookies from Ray? 01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:58.160 Oh, I was using a free term and eggs and sugar as the recipe. But I learned that the 01:02:58.160 --> 01:03:07.520 wheat germ has far too much phosphate. And so the effect for alertness, and 01:03:07.520 --> 01:03:13.600 someone who isn't well nourished, the effect can be tremendous to have a 01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:28.320 vitamin cookie along with a cup of coffee, plenty of sugar in the coffee and cookie. But there are 01:03:28.320 --> 01:03:35.760 much better things than wheat germ is the source of the vitamins. I wonder if you could use, 01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:41.680 like you mentioned, the oat bran because you're a fan of oat bran. Yeah, it makes really good cookies. 01:03:41.680 --> 01:03:46.720 Okay, good. I'll put a little idea for that in the show notes too. Okay, 01:03:46.720 --> 01:03:52.320 we will wrap up with that. And I'll let you get on with your day. But I know I speak for everybody 01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:57.680 when I say we so appreciate you answering these questions. And I hope they're fun for you too. 01:03:57.680 --> 01:04:00.720 Yeah, yes, definitely new ones. 01:04:00.720 --> 01:04:06.960 Yeah, yeah, awesome. Well, thank you so much for your time, Dr. Peat, and we'll do this again. 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:10.400 And you're much appreciated. You guys don't forget to check out his newsletter. I'll have 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:15.040 that link in the show notes for you to reach out and get your copy. So thank you so much. 01:04:15.040 --> 01:04:18.560 Okay, thank you. All right, bye for now. 01:04:18.560 --> 01:04:27.600 Light bulb moment. I have an idea for you. How about getting an anti blue light light bulb? That's 01:04:27.600 --> 01:04:32.720 right. You could put these in your house at night, and they would not allow any blue light after the 01:04:32.720 --> 01:04:37.680 sun goes down. I have these in my lamps, and I really love them because it's like this amber 01:04:37.680 --> 01:04:45.840 glow at night. That's not offensive to my melatonin at all. Now you may know that I'm kind of a blue 01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:54.160 light blocking glass junkie. In fact, when I'm not wearing this pair, I'm wearing this pair. Yes. And 01:04:54.160 --> 01:05:02.880 when I'm not wearing this pair, I might put on this pair. And in case I don't want to wear my 01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:08.000 contacts, I actually have my prescription pair. Check that out. You can kind of see that it's 01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:12.240 different than the other lenses. This one's actually going to have my big thick Coke bottle 01:05:12.240 --> 01:05:19.200 glass prescription in there so that I can wear these and not have to have my contacts in at night. 01:05:19.200 --> 01:05:24.400 So yeah, I'm kind of a blue light blocking junkie, but what I'll say is that my sleep has never been 01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:29.760 better. And it's as simple as putting on a pair of glasses or using a light bulb that blocks out the 01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:34.880 blue light at night. Or perhaps you want a little nightlight for your kids because here's the thing, 01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:41.120 blue light nightlights actually cause myopia in children. That's right. They can become near 01:05:41.120 --> 01:05:46.320 sighted if they're exposed to blue light after dark. So getting one of these anti blue light 01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:49.760 nightlights for the kids or for yourselves, to get in the bathroom, to get in the kitchen 01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:54.480 for those late night munchies, which you shouldn't have if you're blocking blue light. That's right. 01:05:54.480 --> 01:06:00.080 Blue light actually stimulates your cravings after dark. So by wearing these glasses, 01:06:00.080 --> 01:06:04.880 not only will you sleep better, but you may not get those late night munchies that are so prevalent. 01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:14.000 So fit for 10. That'll save you 10% off either your favorite pair of glasses or the really cool 01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:27.360 light bulbs and nightlights. Every cell needs energy to perform.

Get yours today. 01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:42.000 Well, if you've listened to me at all, you'll know that I preach protein. And protein is the 01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:47.120 building blocks of every healthy cell in our body. And you need protein throughout the day 01:07:47.120 --> 01:07:53.200 to sustain really good healthy cell turnover. And I get asked a lot, what about if I don't have time 01:07:53.200 --> 01:07:58.800 for protein? I can't really get in a meat source. It's okay. I love a good whey protein. And my 01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:04.400 favorite recently has been this grass-fed whey from Iconic Protein. I love their ingredients. 01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:09.120 I love that they use a monk fruit.
