Ray Peat did once provide a "diet" for losing weight:

Low fat cheese
Skimmed milk
"A little bit of orange juice "
Carrots
"The occasional egg and oyster"

Unfortunately, that diet sounds completely miserable so I've never done it.

🇩🇪🇷🇺 This famous Russian blogger is careful and does not openly admit where the assembly parts come from, but he clearly states that new models are being assembled and this is NOT from old leftover assembly kits.

So Russia is getting them from somewhere? One can only speculate that Chinese factories may produce some secretly and send them to Russia.

An old known scheme is to keep official (BMW) factories working at night, for example, and produce parts that the Germans don’t know about.

PS: But to be clear, I have no idea where they come from; I just speculate.

Hashimoto’s, Nitric Oxide, and Red Light Therapy (Peating Explained)

An aside: I love reading the “Discussion” section of these studies — that’s where the real meat is. If you can understand the (proposed) mechanism, you can figure out ways to tackle the same problem with different methods. This is the basis of “biohacking”

In this case, the researchers theorize that one “cause” of thyroiditis is excess NO binding to the metallic structures within the ETC of mitochondria.

NO is released wherever there is inflammation and hypoxia. It works by promoting vasodilation, which captures more oxygen and increases vascular permeability so WBC, O2, and proteins can reach the site of injury quickly.

But when there’s chronic inflammation, like in the case of radiation or poisoning, the excess NO concentrates in the tissue and slows down mitochondrial respiration to save energy

Basically, nitric oxide has a high affinity for iron and copper, which form part of electron-carrying structures within the ETC. So the excess NO competes with O2 to bind to these sites, which essentially inactivates mitochondrial function and destroys the tissue over time

That’s where NIR light comes to the rescue.

NIR photons are just energetic enough to safely excite the electrons within the ETC. When electrons are excited, the weak bonds they hold together break apart.

So when red light is shone on an inflamed thyroid gland, it breaks the nitric oxide bonds within the ETC and allows O2 to get in there and bind to its rightful complexes, thus restoring mitochondrial respiration!

This is but one reason (another is edema) why Ray says that nitric oxide is anti-metabolic — it literally impairs mitochondrial function.

That’s why Peaters disagree with normie practitioners who recommend nitric oxide precursors to lower BP and increase circulation. You’re a quack, Barbara!

T3 isn’t a cure-all.

The same stressors that prevent T4 conversion can often inhibit T3 from entering peripheral tissues.

Cellular hypothyroidism doesn’t affect the pituitary, so T3 will always lower TSH, but it won’t fix every symptom.

Holistic Peating is always the priority!

ESSENTIAL READING: “Cellular Hypothyroidism” — Why so many coldbrains cannot tolerate T3 supplementation.

There’s a reason why Ray warned against using serum thyroid markers to assess actual thyroid function.

Mitochondrial respiration in peripheral cells is more sensitive to systemic stress than the thyroid gland itself, at least in the short run.

This means that you can have good thyroid markers on paper, but still be functionally hypothyroid and resistant to treatment.

The reason for this is that free thyroid hormones cannot enter “negatively charged” cells (my explanation; article implicates membrane pumps), and therefore both T4 and T3 remain high in the serum instead of saturating the tissues.

Mitochondrial dysfunction may be a result of sleep restriction, emotional stress, circadian disruption, learned helplessness etc. — conditions commonly associated with poor lifestyle choices or poor life circumstances.

“I’m definitely hypothyroid, but I don’t feel good on thyroid.”

Cellular hypothyroidism is a big reason why you see a lot of Peaters who claim to be hypothyroid but cannot actually tolerate thyroid supplements, opting for stimulants, dietary restriction, vitamin therapies etc. instead — There is probably nothing wrong with the thyroid gland and liver; the problem may be deeper, perhaps it’s circumstantial or maybe it’s viral. Could be simple or could be complex.

It’s also why you’ll see that some hypothyroid Peaters require massive, superphysiological doses of T3 to feel normal. They need more thyroid than a healthy gland could realistically produce for it to have any functional effect.

Indeed, the fundamental problem of our time is *cellular hypothyroidism*, and the treatment for it goes well beyond supplementation.

Sunlight, NIR, PUFA depletion, gut cleanses, arsepirin, deep sleep, nutritional sufficiency, amino acid balancing, Ca:P>1 — All of these sensitize your cells to the T3 that’s already circulating in your blood.

Most importantly, at least in my understanding, Ray’s primary recommendation was to change your habits, lifestyle, and environment instead of indefinitely coping with poor circumstances with supplements and medications. Fair advice if your problems are subclinical.
