WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000 What does cloudy urine indicate? Is it the body wasting calcium or a yeast infection? 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:20.000 Well, if you're drinking lots of milk, for example, or a high meat diet, the phosphate has to get excreted. 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:31.000 And the phosphate shows up in the urine and precipitates in the presence of either magnesium or calcium. 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.000 And it only precipitates if the pH is above a certain point. 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:51.000 And so if you have a very high protein diet, most of the time your urine will be acidic and it will be clear despite having a tremendous amount of phosphate in it. 00:00:51.000 --> 00:01:03.000 But when something raises the pH of your urine, which can be eating a lot of fruit or vegetables, or hyperventilating is another thing. 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:14.000 If you blow out too much carbon dioxide, the pH of your urine goes up to keep your blood at the right pH, slightly alkaline. 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:30.000 And when your urine pH is above, is neutral or higher on the alkaline side, then any phosphate and calcium is going to precipitate and make it cloudy. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:38.000 Here's an email from Brenda. I recently started taking Progest-E and it's helped my cyclical mood symptoms very much. 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:47.000 I've been taking it for days, 14, 28 in my cycle. I hate to stop taking it because I have PMS moodiness the day after I stop. 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:54.000 Would there be any harm in just continuing to take it nonstop for a while, even if it means I miss a period or two? 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:03.000 I've known quite a few women who took it some every day and kept cycling without any problem. 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:17.000 But what they should be aware of is that if you take a little extra just before the expected time of ovulation, it will trigger early ovulation. 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:25.000 And then if you stop taking it or take less, it will bring on an early menstruation. 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.000 So if you're going to take it every day, it has to be every day the same amount. 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:40.000 What about someone perimenopausal that every now and then in the cycle, it just takes so long, the period just doesn't want to come. 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:51.000 You get the bloaty thing, but it just doesn't want to come. Is there any safe herbs or anything you can do to just kind of let her go so you can feel better and let her have your period? 00:02:51.000 --> 00:03:01.000 Well, behind the problem with the balance of progesterone and estrogen, the basic thing is almost always low thyroid. 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:21.000 Some women will use a quick-acting thyroid so as soon as they start getting a symptom of PMS, they take just a little extra quick-acting stuff and they can adjust the hormones on a day-to-day basis that way. 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:33.000 Other people increase just knowing that they don't want to have PMS. They will take a little more of their glandular thyroid starting at ovulation. 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:39.000 And the opposite happens when a person is hypothyroid. 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:47.000 They might not have any ovulation at all or they might have extreme and prolonged menstruation. 00:03:47.000 --> 00:04:00.000 And it's a very reliable treatment for prolonged menstruation to just get the right amount of thyroid. 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:09.000 You can usually turn off a hypothyroid excess menstruation in two days with a supplement. 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.000 But a quick-acting thyroid, that's generally a prescription? 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:20.000 Yeah, usually in the US, T3 such as Cytomel is a prescription. 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.000 Cytomel. How do you spell that? 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.000 C-Y-T-O-M-E-L. 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.000 And that's just a pig or cow or something thyroid, isn't it? 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:38.000 No, it's a purely synthetic but it's exactly the same chemical that we make or would get from an animal. 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:49.000 Oh, I see. Okay. Mark wants to know, "Why is burning sugar for fuel healthier for the human body than burning ketones? 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:57.000 Also, for diabetic ones to use fructose medicinally, how can fructose be used by the cells if the cells need glucose? 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.000 And does the body convert fructose to glucose or something?" 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:14.000 Yeah, the body can exchange the fructose enters the glycolysis process almost the same place glucose does 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.000 and then is oxidized the same way glucose is. 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:26.000 And a lot of doctors are saying that the brain and muscles and heart and such can't use fructose. 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:38.000 But actually, there is evidence that they do have the particular so-called fructose transporter or glucose transporter that works for fructose. 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.000 So the brain and heart can use fructose. 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:49.000 And ketones are good if you get them from fruit or vegetables such as potatoes. 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:58.000 But if you have to produce the ketones, they are only produced under stress in the body. 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:04.000 And so they're good when you can get them, but it's hard to make them yourself. 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.000 Okay. 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:21.000 Why does the Budwig diet against cancer have so much success when it uses omega-3 flaxseed oil when Ray's work has concluded that unsaturated fatty acids are not good for us? 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.000 Ask John. 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:42.000 In 1954, a professor from the University of Guadalajara had an article in Prevention magazine describing his success using purge for his laxative patients to get their intestine clean 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:55.000 because that's something that's been known for probably 3,000 years that laxatives are helpful for cancer patients because of the toxins produced in the intestine. 00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:06.000 And he happened to use a cup of linseed oil or flax oil as the purge. 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.000 It would rush right through and clean out the intestine. 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:26.000 But until that time, Johanna Budwig had published as co-author a couple of articles in a soap and fat journal and wasn't doing anything at all unconventional. 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:39.000 But right after that article came out in Prevention magazine, she started developing her theory of the N-3 fats. 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:52.000 My theory was that she had gone insane during that period when she stopped being a research associate for the soap professor. 00:07:52.000 --> 00:08:09.000 Shortly after that, several little booklets came out published by a Disney subsidiary in Europe describing her theory in very crazy terms. 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:27.000 Anyone who's interested in doing her program should get a look at those books because they were radically changed when they were presented in English to make it sound much saner than they were. 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:51.000 But her diet consisted of mostly cottage cheese or the equivalent, curds, and because of the low iron content of cottage cheese, both milk and cottage cheese are very good protective foods for people with cancer. 00:08:51.000 --> 00:09:02.000 Fruits and milk, because of the low iron content and low PUFA content, are good for cancer patients. 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:11.000 But I think as far as the flax oil can work as a laxative, it's beneficial. 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:19.000 But when it's working as a food, then it has the risk of suppressing your metabolism. 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:26.000 We're talking with Dr. Ray Peat. He's a PhD in biology and it is about 15 after the hour. 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.000 This is Patrick Timpone. Happy New Year to you. Special show pre-recorded. 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.000 We'll be back live, I think, on whatever the 4th, next Monday. 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:42.000 I appreciate you being here. We'll keep Dr. Peat on as long as he doesn't kick us out and try to get rid of through these emails. 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:52.000 We have a lot of them. From John, "Ray's opinions on Hans Nieper's mineral transporters. Why does nobody talk about them anymore?" 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:58.000 For one thing, we don't really need mineral transporters. 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:15.000 People like Gilbert Ling many years ago showed that the doctrine that the cell is enclosed in an impermeable or semi-permeable membrane simply isn't so. 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:29.000 When they got isotopes that they could actually see the type of sodium atom that was being added to a system, 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:38.000 they could demonstrate that the sodium atoms were freely moving in and out of cells, no barrier function at all at the surface. 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:46.000 This applies to all of the dissolved minerals and other substances. 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:51.000 There's just no barrier there to deal with. 00:10:51.000 --> 00:11:00.000 That's the basic thing. We don't have any need for a mineral transporter because minerals move freely in and out. 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:09.000 Jesse writes, "I love the show. I don't know if Ray Peat knows anything about the organic sulfur you've been talking about the last few months. 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.000 I've been taking the sulfur and iodine together, Lugol's." 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:19.000 Well, we don't recommend you take the sulfur with anything, but anyway, "My thyroid hormones have gone down. 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:25.000 I need to know if the sulfur will take iodine out too. Should they be taken opposite ends of the day? 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:31.000 Do you need to take extra Lugol's if you're taking sulfur? I'm taking a couple of tablespoons per day." 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.000 Too much iodine is probably the problem. 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.000 Too much iodine that can actually lower the thyroid? 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.000 Yeah. 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.000 How do you know what's a good amount of iodine? 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:58.000 Well, I've got a list of I think it's 70 articles from around the world looking at the incidence of thyroid cancer and thyroiditis. 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:10.000 They see that above half a milligram of iodine per day chronically increases the incidence of thyroid disease. 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:16.000 Well, that's not good. 0.5 milligrams. Wow. That's not a lot, is it? 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.000 No, but that's over a period of many years where it's chronically high. 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:29.000 Oh, okay. In other words, people taking, you'd have to do it over many years to have an issue. 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.000 Yeah. 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:36.000 I wonder how many drops of Lugol's. Do you have any idea, like you do one drop, how many milligrams that is? 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.000 I think it's a few milligrams. 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.000 Is it? So you wouldn't want to do more than just a couple. I mean, that's it. 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.000 Yeah. 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:57.000 Makes sense. Okay. I'm a follower of Mr. Peat's. I haven't seen him, anything mentioned about uterine fibroids. 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:05.000 What is his suggestion is the best way to get rid of them? Seropeptase and other enzymes have not worked for me. 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:12.000 I think normalizing thyroid is the best thing. 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:22.000 I had an experience with a woman who was, I think she was 40 at the time, and hadn't had any kids and wanted to get pregnant, 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:31.000 and had a fibroid plugging the end of her uterus by the fallopian tubes about the size of a tennis ball. 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:39.000 And I explained the physiology to her and got her confident that she knew what was happening. 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:50.000 And she adjusted, taking enough thyroid that she could keep her estrogen level down with the other hormones up. 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:55.000 And it happens that her pulse averaged about 110 per minute. 00:13:55.000 --> 00:14:01.000 And her doctor told her she would die from keeping her pulse that fast. 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:11.000 But she had an ultrasound every month, and every month that she kept her thyroid at that level, the fibroid shrank. 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:16.000 And I think it was around March or April that she started. 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:21.000 And by August, the fibroid had disappeared and she was pregnant. 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:25.000 Is a slower pulse necessarily better? 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.000 No, generally it's not. 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.000 What could be? 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.000 Well, now we've already been told it is. 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:43.000 Like I've been exercising a lot and my pulse gets pretty low, just my resting pulse, sometimes 50 or so, because I do the rebounder. 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.000 So that could actually be a sign of some kind of weakness? 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.000 Yeah, very often it's hypothyroid, long-distance runners. 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.000 Oh, you mean low thyroid. 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.000 Yeah. 00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:09.000 If you put a person on a treadmill, and in one experiment they had them walk so their pulse stayed about 120 beats per minute. 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:18.000 And in less than an hour, their blood showed almost no T3, the active hormone. 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:28.000 And if a person is healthy, as soon as they catch their breath and rest for a day, their T3 is right back where it should be. 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:38.000 But if there's anything wrong with their diet, just that moderate amount of exercise every day can push your thyroid lower and lower. 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:51.000 And one of the ways that you might see a bad effect of a low pulse is if the distance between the top and the bottom blood pressure is very great. 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.000 It should be no more than 50 points difference. 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.000 And blood pressure difference, okay. 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.000 Yeah, it's called pulse pressure. 00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.000 Okay. 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:04.000 So the systolic minus the diastolic should be 50 or less. 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:09.000 If it's less than 50, a low pulse is... 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:21.000 Well, sometimes it goes with a big surge of pressure, like from a blood pressure diastolic of 60 to 120. 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.000 That's a 60-point spread, which is more than desirable. 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.000 Okay, so that would indicate perhaps a low thyroid. 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.000 Yeah. 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.000 And you'd want to get that checked out and maybe get that thyroid boosted up. 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:43.000 So people that exercise a lot, it's not necessarily that their heart... 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:47.000 But isn't your heart stronger if you're beating less per minute? 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.000 Not necessarily. 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:50.000 No? 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:56.000 You can give a person an antithyroid drug and their heart rate will just go slower and slower. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.000 No kidding. 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:06.000 Antithyroid, in other words, lower the efficiency of the thyroid and your pulse slows down. 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.000 Yeah. 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:18.000 I've known people who had 40 or 50 pulse at rest and who were really very miserable. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:25.000 And when they got their pulse up to 70 or 80 at rest by taking thyroid, they felt much better. 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.000 But that's something you don't want to do on your own necessarily. 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.000 It would be better to get somebody that really knows their stuff. 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:41.000 You can often do that just by diet, avoiding the foods that are blocking your thyroid function. 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.000 Which are? 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:48.000 Mostly in America, it's mostly the polyunsaturated fats. 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:57.000 But some people, I've known people who were eating a pure soy diet or a lot of raw cabbage and broccoli. 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:05.000 And those people just stopping the diet for a week or two popped right back. 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.000 So the poofers in the soy, they're definitely antithyroid. 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:16.000 But what about broccoli, cauliflower, the cruciferous? 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.000 But if you cook them, are they okay? 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:24.000 They're still slightly antithyroid, but people don't have any problem with them. 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:36.000 If a person wants to really test what low thyroid is like, they can juice some cabbage or broccoli raw and drink a glass or two of that per day. 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.000 And you can feel it? 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.000 Yeah. 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:42.000 What are some things that boost the thyroid function? 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:46.000 The milk and orange juice. 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.000 I'll be darned. 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:50.000 You know, I love orange juice and I just kind of stayed away. 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:54.000 I bought into that whole too much sugar idea. 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.000 I don't know where I got that, but man, I'll try some of that and juice some oranges. 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.000 And it actually boosts thyroid function. 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.000 Yeah. 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.000 I'll be darned. 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.000 That's great. 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.000 Boy, so much thyroid stuff, as you know. 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.000 Here's another one, Ann from Michigan. 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:11.000 Can you talk a bit about Hashimoto's? 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:16.000 Is that overactive for our autoimmune thyroid, right? 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:17.000 Hashimoto's? 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.000 It's underactive. 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.000 Oh, underactive, but it's an autoimmune issue? 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.000 Yeah. 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:22.000 Okay. 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.000 Well, so-called. 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:24.000 So-called. 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:32.000 Most of the autoimmune things, the antibodies really are part of a recovery process. 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.000 Okay. 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:42.000 Anytime you injure a tissue, your immune system will try to eat up the junk and it treats 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.000 the tissue as if it had been infected. 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.000 So that's why they started calling it thyroid. 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.000 So it's not the immune system attacking your thyroid. 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.000 It's doing what it's supposed to do. 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.000 Yeah. 00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:01.000 If you block the thyroid function for some reason, then you have to stimulate it more 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.000 strongly with thyroid stimulating hormone. 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:09.000 And just that stimulation creates a type of inflammation. 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:15.000 And if that goes on too long, for example, blocking it with too much iodine or too much 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:23.000 PUFA or estrogen, then your immune system will come in and clean up some of the junk. 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:28.000 So we have people say that you really can't OD on iodine, but you're definitely saying 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:29.000 the opposite here today. 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.000 Yeah. 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.000 Okay. 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:36.000 Ann says, "I'm 44 years old and the day before my period, I start to get a headache. 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.000 I'm assuming the headache is caused by low progesterone. 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.000 Any suggestions on how to balance out the hormones? 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.000 I have been doing paleo diet for over three years now. 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.000 It has helped." 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:51.000 I know that this is a broad question, but any suggestions would be appreciated. 00:20:51.000 --> 00:21:02.000 Well, usually some good tropical fruit and/or orange juice and milk or cheese will get the 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.000 thyroid back to normal functioning. 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:13.000 But in the short run, a thyroid supplement, there have been studies where just giving 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:22.000 even a synthetic thyroid for five or six months will correct the antibody problem in the Hashimoto's. 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:27.000 And then what if somebody has kind of a hard time with casein or lactose? 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.000 Can that be corrected if you'd like to try some cheese and milk? 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:37.000 Yeah, there's no lactose in cheese, so if there's a lactose problem, cheese will take care of it. 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.000 Like a raw cheese maybe, raw grass-fed if you can? 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.000 Yeah, preferably without additives. 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.000 Sure. And then the casein in the milk? 00:21:46.000 --> 00:22:00.000 Oh, it's a good protein. It has many good features, but an even better protein is the juice out of a potato. 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:07.000 In a few extreme cases where a person had no digestion for any kind of ordinary protein, 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:15.000 if they juiced some raw potatoes and then cooked that juice, they could instantly assimilate it. 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.000 I'll be damned. 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.000 Got over their sensitivities, their proteins. 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:28.000 Hasn't that been in the past? Or is some kind of an anti-cancer therapy in Europe where they juice potatoes? 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.000 Did I read that somewhere? 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.000 I haven't heard of it. It's an amazing food. 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.000 That's crazy. Please ask your guest about bioidentical hormone replacement. 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:46.000 If in favor of it, which testing protocol would be best and when we should stop the treatment? 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:52.000 It just depends on what the person needs. 00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:06.000 That term can apply to testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, any of those, but it is also applied to estrogen. 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:16.000 And it happens that the most dangerous of the estrogens, estradiol, is bioidentical. 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:25.000 So it doesn't make it safer, whether it's synthetic or natural estrogen, you still have to be very careful. 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.000 Okay, here's another email. 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:32.000 What does Mr. Peat think about the ketogenic diet? High fat, low carb, low protein. 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:35.000 What does Ray think about Bulletproof coffee? 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:41.000 Will you whip up coconut oil or butter into your coffee similar to Tibetan tea? 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:47.000 And what about refined bleach coconut oil, expeller pressed? 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.000 Ketogenic diet first. 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.000 Okay, well, I already talked about that. 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:57.000 It's a matter of stress. 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.000 Anything that stresses you can turn on your production of ketones. 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:03.000 Okay. 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:09.000 So it's better to have some sugar in your diet so you don't have the stress that makes the ketones. 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:16.000 But if you can get ketones from fruit and potatoes, for example, they're fine. 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:22.000 Okay. Bulletproof coffee, ever hear about that, where you put up coconut oil or butter into your coffee? 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:28.000 A lot of people tell me they're doing that, but cream in the coffee is so good. 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:29.000 Yeah. 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:37.000 And it mixes nicely where the coconut oil and butter just float on the surface. 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.000 Yeah, cream probably does the same thing. 00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:43.000 What about refined bleach coconut oil or expeller pressed? Any issues there? 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:56.000 That's the only thing I've used because I used to occasionally get some homemade coconut oil that was just delicious for making ice cream, 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.000 coconut ice cream with fresh coconut. 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.000 It's just a fantastic taste, but it happens to be allergenic. 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:19.000 If you have any stress problems or digestive problems, it's better to use the refined deodorized coconut oil. 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.000 Brian in Illinois has a question for Dr. Ray Peat. 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.000 I would like to know what to do to overcome radiation therapy. 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.000 I was not foolish enough to receive radiation. 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:31.000 I was foolish enough, excuse me, for prostate. 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:37.000 I did not finish the total number of treatments, but following the treatments, I'm still having radiation issues. 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.000 I no longer have cancer, which I think is probably the result of holistic. 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:47.000 So how can you kind of heal from radiation kind of damage? 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:59.000 There have been studies of people 60 years, I think it was, after Hiroshima and 20 years after Chernobyl, 00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:08.000 in which they could still see inflammatory processes in the blood that could be traced to the radiation exposure. 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:17.000 And so it's really a lingering inflammation that you have to deal with. 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:23.000 With that kind of radiation, nothing is actually placed in the body like with fallout. 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:29.000 The stuff we're getting from Fukushima now is actual isotopes which stick in the body. 00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:32.000 Those are a different kind of problem. 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:40.000 But the lingering effect of external radiation puts you into an inflammatory state. 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:51.000 And all of the things we've been talking about, the good high-energy foods, milk, cheese. 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:52.000 How to heal that. 00:26:52.000 --> 00:27:02.000 Keeping your thyroid function up activates the repair system, which lowers inflammation. 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:08.000 And any time your energy falls, you move towards inflammation. 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:15.000 So don't hyperventilate. Do everything to keep your blood sugar steady. 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:28.000 And the inflammation will gradually subside. The anti-inflammatory hormones are all protective in their situation. 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:32.000 But basically diet and thyroid are. 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:40.000 William is a naturopathic doc, and he wants to know, Dr. Peat, what do you think about Dr. -- 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:45.000 not Dr. -- but Brian Peskin's claims that omega-3s are unnecessary. 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:54.000 The fish oils and these parent essential oils that we mentioned earlier are the best way to go to supplement rather than fish oil. 00:27:54.000 --> 00:28:01.000 Well, he's right about the fish oil. There's no evidence that it's an essential fat. 00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:06.000 But also there is no evidence that I've seen -- 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.000 The PEOs do it either. 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:12.000 It sounds good. Let's see. 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:21.000 What's the best way, writes Catherine, about testing for food allergies regarding the heart rate? 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:25.000 My heart rate's about 85, sitting down, standing up about 110. 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:30.000 I was told I had POTS, postural orthostatic tricardia. 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:36.000 My blood pressure is good, but a bit on the low side, including Celtic sea salt in my diet. 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:44.000 So first off, yeah, best way to -- have you come up with some good ways to test for these food allergies that we may have? 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:49.000 The blood tests are often misinterpreted. 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:56.000 You can see a reaction in the blood, but sometimes it's just showing that the person tolerates -- 00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:01.000 has been exposed to a food, doesn't really correlate with the symptoms of allergy. 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:09.000 So I think testing a food, leaving it out of your diet entirely for at least a week, 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:15.000 if the symptoms go away, then you can guess that you're allergic to it. 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:22.000 But there's no real chemical test for the allergic reaction. 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.000 And then an issue when you're sitting down and standing up, you've got some kind of -- 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:34.000 high estrogen affects the nervous system so that your sympathetic side is weak 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.000 and the parasympathetic is overactive. 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:47.000 And that's why women get varicose veins so much more often than men, especially around pregnancy. 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:52.000 High estrogen weakens the wall of the vein. 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.000 Progesterone tones up the veins. 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:03.000 And when the veins aren't returning the blood to the heart, when the blood falls into your legs, 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.000 then your heart has to beat faster. 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:14.000 So progesterone and thyroid are the things needed to tone up the veins 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:21.000 and return the blood to the heart so that the heart has a good, strong beat. 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:26.000 Dr. Peate, do you have any recommendations for rebuilding or healing the vagus nerve, 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:31.000 encouraging the parasympathetic system and proprioception? 00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:36.000 Parasympathetic, that's when we can rest and sleep, and the vagus nerve, 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.000 I guess some kind can get damaged, huh? 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:48.000 Well, my last few newsletters have been talking about the problems of stress. 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:55.000 For example, learned helplessness, it's called learned despair. 00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:03.000 If an animal is restrained and doesn't have the experience of being able to escape, 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:11.000 they might just, if they fall into a tank of water, might let themselves drown in two or three minutes 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:17.000 where a normal rat with better experience would swim for days. 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:21.000 And that's from too much of the parasympathetic activity. 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:29.000 So I've been working out some of the implications of what happens after middle age 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:33.000 that are equivalent to learned helplessness, 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:40.000 where the body has experienced so many problems that it can't deal with 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:45.000 that it starts shifting too strongly to the parasympathetic. 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:52.000 And when we go to bed at night, normally we don't need to spend a lot of energy, 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.000 so the parasympathetic lowers our blood sugar. 00:31:55.000 --> 00:32:00.000 But after middle age, it can lower the blood sugar so much 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:08.000 that then the other side of the nervous system reacts with surges of adrenaline and cortisol, 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.000 and that's where the degenerative things come in. 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:19.000 But they can be triggered by compulsive overactivity of the parasympathetic and vagus. 00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:30.000 And in liver disease, for example, they found that they can prevent inflammation and fibrosis of the liver 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.000 just by cutting the vagus nerve so it doesn't reach the liver. 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:41.000 So you don't want to overstimulate the parasympathetic. 00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:53.000 And the Gulf War syndrome, a lot of it had to do with exposure to organophosphate nerve gases, 00:32:53.000 --> 00:33:04.000 but people are being exposed to similar chemicals in insecticides or even in the airliners, 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:11.000 which comes from the lubricants in the air pressurizing system, 00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:16.000 puts basically a little bit of nerve gas into the air. 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:24.000 And all of these exposures are creating an overactive vagus syndrome 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:31.000 so that many people in the general population have something like the Gulf War syndrome. 00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:34.000 Just from the chemicals. 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:47.000 And the drugs that the Army used to treat nerve gas poisoning, atropine was the main drug, 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:58.000 and that can be used for an extreme case of some of these stress-related learned helplessness syndromes. 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:03.000 Next email for Dr. Peat. What is the underlying cause of severe allergies, runny nose, sneezing, 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:12.000 that occur after a meal? Is it low thyroid, high estrogen, or both? And how to correct this? 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:18.000 It's usually something in the intestine, not necessarily what you ate in this meal, 00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:25.000 but sometimes what you ate yesterday or the day before will be farther down your intestine, 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:34.000 and eating starts the peristalsis, and it moves an irritant down to a sensitive place in the intestine. 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:42.000 And runny nose and sneezing are the main, most common symptoms, 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:48.000 but that kind of stimulation in the intestine, animal experiments, 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:56.000 and even one doctor's experiments on his medical students showed that just pressure in the rectum 00:34:56.000 --> 00:35:03.000 or intestine can trigger migraine headaches, runny noses, and coughing and sneezing, 00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:10.000 and even epileptic seizures just from stimulating the intestine. 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:19.000 Disturbed blood sugar intensifies the sensitivity of the intestine and makes those reactions worse. 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:27.000 Is there such a thing as thyroid resistance, high reverse T3, that doesn't show up on blood tests? 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:31.000 Yeah, I think it's important to measure reverse T3. 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:38.000 If you're going to measure the thyroid hormones at all, you can't interpret the T3 itself, 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:44.000 which is the active hormone, unless you know how much reverse T3 there is, 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:48.000 because that can interfere with the active hormone. 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:55.000 So you have to look at the ratio of active to reverse T3. 00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:02.000 Here's an email that said that after eating peanuts, his mouth cracked and inflammation, lesions, 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:08.000 and a lab said he had fungus candida. I'm on a homeopathic remedy. 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:14.000 Currently using Benadryl, which may provide short-term relief, but inflammation returns. 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:18.000 Was he just allergic to peanuts? Isn't that as simple as that? 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:26.000 That could be, but when it lingers for a long time, there could be several things. 00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:35.000 A nutritional deficiency might have been co-acting with the allergy, 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:42.000 and a lot of B vitamin deficiencies can make sores around the mouth, 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:51.000 and inflammation in the intestine can activate viruses to break out inside the mouth or on the lips. 00:36:51.000 --> 00:37:00.000 So a food allergy is often responsible for a coated or cracked tongue, 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:03.000 a lot of different mouth symptoms. 00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:09.000 The Benadryl lotions are antiseptic and soothing. 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:18.000 Another ointment that you can get at a drugstore, benzocaine ointments and similar local anesthetics. 00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:24.000 Benzocaine happens to be antiseptic as well as anesthetic, 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:36.000 and will often clear up a little skin problem, whether it's a virus or germ or fungus. 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:39.000 A benzocaine ointment can help. 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:47.000 Lindsay says she's on low thyroid. She has a low thyroid on 120 milligrams of nature, 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:51.000 but still experiencing many symptoms. 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:56.000 I'm not sure where she lives, 917. I think that looks like Southern California. 00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:01.000 I'm wondering if you could have ideas on where she could find some help. 00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:08.000 People can email me through my website, has my contact. 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:16.000 But if a particular brand of thyroid doesn't work, I think it's good to change brands. 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:20.000 Armor thyroid is fairly reliable. 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:30.000 There's a synthetic called Proloid S, which is an old established brand that is available in many countries. 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:38.000 CINO+ is made by companies related to the ones that make Cytomel. 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:45.000 CINO+ is very similar to Nature Throid and Armor, but being synthetic, 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:53.000 it lacks some of the potential allergens that the natural thyroids might have. 00:38:53.000 --> 00:39:05.000 So just trying different brands and otherwise changing the diet to make sure there's more of the metabolic promoters, 00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:13.000 such as calcium and the anti-inflammatory foods. 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.000 Only a few more here, then we're going to let you go, Doc. 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:23.000 Dr. Peat's website has removed his bookstore for his newsletter and books. 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:25.000 Are you going to get that back? 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:31.000 Yeah, when I get the books reprinted, I'm going to put the list back. 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:37.000 Okay. So, but right now, can people cannot sign up for your newsletter or can they? 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:38.000 Oh, yeah, they can. 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:39.000 On the website? 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:41.000 Yeah. 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:46.000 Why? Okay, we've already done that one. 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:50.000 Let's see. 00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:55.000 What is the ideal diet for type 2 diabetes? 00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.000 What food should I avoid? 00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.000 I'm taking a thousand milligrams of L-tryptophan at night for sleep. 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:06.000 Do you recommend I discontinue this amino acid? 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:21.000 Yeah, there are articles on my website about -- related to diabetes and explaining how the unsaturated fats are an essential problem in causing diabetes 00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:26.000 and sugar is not a problem and has been used as a cure. 00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:37.000 So, getting the right diet and making sure the thyroid function is optimized, those are the basic things. 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:49.000 Aspirin is well known to help to regulate blood sugar and lower inflammation problems associated with diabetes. 00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:52.000 Stella says, "I keep getting acne. 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.000 I don't know how to deal with it. 00:40:54.000 --> 00:41:01.000 I sweat and saunas and take chlorella and make green smoothies but still have issues with acne. 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:04.000 What can I do?" 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:15.000 Thyroid and vitamin A are the basic things, but the skin and the intestine are very closely connected 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:26.000 so that you want to make sure you aren't eating any foods that aren't well digested or that irritate your intestine 00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:45.000 because that can contribute to inflammatory and even problems with excretion of fats and sweat and so they can be influenced by irritation in the intestine. 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:52.000 Lisa wants to know about using the far-infrared sauna and niacin together. 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.000 If you have broken capillaries from rosacea, how do you say that? 00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:59.000 R-O-S-A-C-E-A? 00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:01.000 Rosacea? 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:02.000 Yeah, rosacea. 00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:05.000 Using niacin with a far-infrared sauna. 00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:14.000 Well, niacin sometimes refers to nicotinic acid or even its slow release form. 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:26.000 Nicotinic acid happens to increase your histamine, serotonin, and prostaglandins, all of which are inflammatory. 00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:35.000 So I don't think it's good for anyone to take nicotinic acid other than as it occurs in food. 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:46.000 Niacinamide is a form of that same vitamin that is active in cells and doesn't release those inflammatory problem materials. 00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:48.000 So niacinamide is safe? 00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:49.000 Yeah. 00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:50.000 That's a B3, is that B3? 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.000 Yeah. 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:59.000 Brenda writes, "Could you please ask Dr. Peat to speak about natural ways to reverse high prolactin levels in women? 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:08.000 I recently started taking his Progest-E to raise my progesterone levels, hoping this may help to lower my prolactin." 00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:12.000 Sometimes it does, but thyroid is the basic thing. 00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:26.000 The tryptophan and serotonin happen to turn on a trigger that increases prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone. 00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:29.000 They tend to go together. 00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:43.000 If your thyroid doesn't respond adequately to the rising thyroid-stimulating hormone, it isn't able to lower the prolactin. 00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:50.000 They're tied closely together, and so a supplement of thyroid is sometimes needed. 00:43:50.000 --> 00:44:03.000 But without that, sometimes increasing the salt in your diet and using a vitamin B6 supplement, those can sometimes correct the prolactin. 00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:15.000 The B6 is involved in correcting the tryptophan, serotonin metabolism, so it doesn't cause the inflammation and high prolactin. 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:18.000 One more, and then Ray P. gets to go on about his day. 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:22.000 "Thanks for being here. I appreciate all your time. It's really been a long show, which has been great. 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:32.000 Carl in Urbana, it's an interesting one. He's in his 70s. He's observed lower thyroid, testosterone, muscle tone, increase in estrogen. 00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:40.000 Recently, he was thinking that the Eskimos live in a very cold climate, and they said to be eating a diet of 70% fat. 00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:46.000 He did that. He said, "I no longer feel cold all the time, and my energy and sleep are much better. 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:53.000 I've seen to be in an adrenaline state early in the evening and sometimes awake with higher temperature and a higher pulse rate. 00:44:53.000 --> 00:45:00.000 Then I can get back to sleep and progress into colder, lower pulse rate, thus a high cortisol state. 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:09.000 Since my cortisol is the highest in the morning, would it be best for me to avoid any foods that would stimulate insulin production in the morning? 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.000 Could you explain what is going on here?" 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:25.000 It's normal. The whole thing that we've been talking about, the parasympathetic system increasing at night lowers your blood sugar, 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:40.000 and that increases adrenaline, and finally, during the night, it will increase your cortisol so that almost everyone has their highest cortisol of the day at dawn. 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:54.000 That's because basically, darkness is very stressful, and cortisol is protecting us against all of those inflammatory stress processes that develop during the night. 00:45:54.000 --> 00:46:13.000 If you can keep the adrenaline and cortisol lower by what you eat at bedtime or even snack on during the night, and having some fluid in the night helps to keep your blood thin and circulating 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:19.000 so that you are less likely to have a stroke from the high cortisol when you wake up. 00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:34.000 The high cortisol and thickened blood are fairly dangerous in the morning, so it's good to start with orange juice, for example, to get some fluid and minerals into your blood. 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:35.000 In the morning? 00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.000 Yeah, and to get the cortisol down. 00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:41.000 What would you drink in the middle of the night? Just water? 00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:57.000 That's better than nothing, but if you're having a sleep problem, then maybe juice or milk, sugared milk, and even chicken soup, something that appetizes. 00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:58.000 Oh, really? Maybe chicken broth? 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:06.000 Yeah, a good chicken consomme with plenty of salt will lower your adrenaline. 00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.000 It lowers your adrenaline, the salt does. Yeah, it's good for the adrenals. 00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:26.000 Yeah, there have been studies on people, old people with both hypertension and insomnia who are on a low salt diet, and low salt is very often responsible for serious problems such as that. 00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:31.000 And again, foods then that lower adrenaline and cortisol at night would be? 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:43.000 Milk and honey or sugar, fruit, oranges, tropical fruit, gelatinous things such as consomme. 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:48.000 Oh, bone broth, like the Western Price bone broth stuff, that kind of thing? 00:47:48.000 --> 00:48:01.000 Well, you don't want to use marrow bones because of the high iron content, so the joints that have the tendons and cartilage attached. 00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:05.000 Oh, just kind of leg bones and stuff like that? 00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:06.000 Or tail bones. 00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:13.000 Tail bones, but not the joints where they get all the… I thought the cartilage, didn't Dr. Peat, doesn't that have a lot of good… 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:20.000 You do want the cartilage and the tendons, you don't want the hard bone with the marrow in it. 00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:25.000 Oh, okay, you want the more joints, so you don't want the hard marrow bones. 00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.000 Yeah, so the tail is all joints and so that's very good. 00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:37.000 So chicken feet and stuff like that are good, but not shin bones and that that you give the dog, those big hard bones, they have too much iron in the marrow? 00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:38.000 Yeah. 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:44.000 That's interesting. Well, Doc, this has been great fun. Thanks for being here. 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:45.000 Oh, okay. 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:51.000 Yeah, it's been really nice. Thanks for spending so much time with us and a great way to start off the new year. 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:58.000 So your newsletter is available on Raypeat.com, right, so people can sign up. And how often do you send that out? 00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:00.000 Every two months. 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.000 And you do a lot of writing on your website. Do you have books as well? 00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:06.000 Yeah, five books. 00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:10.000 And you're going to get that back in the bookstore. Are they available on Amazon? 00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:18.000 No, I'll probably have some on Amazon when I get them reprinted. It'll be a couple months. 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:24.000 Well, we'll keep an eye on that. So thanks a lot. We dearly appreciate your time. 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:25.000 Thank you. 00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:30.000 Thank you. Dr. Ray Peat, well, that was quite fun. Man, a couple hours there, didn't we? Had a good time? 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:41.000 Nice man. Raypeat.com. Okay, baby, take that to the bank and see what you think. 00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:45.000 Please pass on these links to everyone that you care about. 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:51.000 We just keep digging and digging, seeing if we can figure out how these old bodies work, right? 00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:55.000 How these old bodies work. How these young bodies work. 00:49:55.000 --> 00:50:02.000 Excuse me. Happy New Year. 00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:09.000 Sharon kept me up late, like all till five. Just kidding. 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:13.000 Adam Bergstrom will be here next Monday, and that's when I'll be back live with you. 00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:20.000 Monday, the 6th of January. I love you all very much. 00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.000 2014's going to be a blast, baby. 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:30.000 Broadcasting from the beautiful Hill Country in Texas, this is Juan, Radionetwork.com. 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:33.000 © 2014 Juan Radionetwork.
