"Without adequate thyroid, we become sluggish, clumsy, cold, anemic, and subject to infections, heart disease, headaches, cancer, and many other diseases, and seem to be prematurely aged” - Dr Peat
Actually they know exactly what they're talking about. When the gut lining is inflamed from hashimotos, and other diseases fiber can feed bacteria in a way that creates toxic byproducts than the gut can't handle. Those include endotoxin, excess lactic acid, and gas that puts more stress in the gut. A healthy gut clears fiber with no trouble, but an inflamed gut can’t keep up, which is why symptoms often worsen. Reducing fiber for a short window is one of the most common steps in almost every well known gut healing protocol. The GAPS diet does it. The SCD diet does it. Low-FODMAP protocols do it. Even many clinical reflux and SIBO protocols start with lower fiber to calm inflammation before adding anything back in. It has a long track record because it works for a large number of people when the gut is irritated. Reducing fiber helped put my hashimotos in remission and heal my gut.
First, you mention that we should avoid certain foods, and later you list the benefits of consuming them. For example: you say to stop coffee and zinc to reduce estrogen, but in another section you say coffee is good and so is zinc?
Great, great article. I love Ray Peats research. I am currently battling weight gain from Tamoxifen use and I am almost certain it has caused subclinical hypothyroidism. I am on a Tamoxifen break and I am trying to get my thyroid back to normal. My temps upon waking are 95.1-95.7 and HR of 50s daily. My question, what is a good, reputable brand of black seed oil? Also, in your course T3 optimization, do you go into much more detail than this article and dive more into Rays research? Thanks for any reply you can give. Really enjoyed this article, keep up the great work!!!
Okay let me ask you this, what did Jesus eat? Why did God give us all these wonderful gifts to enjoy? I watch all these carnivore videos and never once do they mention God . I guess after thousands of years you guy just now figured it all out , and say carnivore is the way to go. I guarantee in 10 years when all evidence comes out it won’t be good. Everything in moderation. In the meantime I will enjoy my baked potato, slice of watermelon, home grown veggies. Also one last thing. Show some proof the carnivores live longer than people that eat a balanced diet. Mediterranean diet anyone.

Saturated fat is the kind of fat our bodies evolved with. People lived with it for thousands of years without the wave of heart problems and chronic inflammatory conditions we see today. Seed oils are a very new addition to the diet, and their rise lines up with the rise in many modern illnesses.
Omega threes fit into this picture too. They’re often talked about as universally beneficial, but they’re still highly unstable fats and oxidize easily, especially when taken in large supplemental amounts. That instability is part of why they can add to the overall stress load just like other modern polyunsaturated oils. Plus, you get omega 3s from meat, dairy in eggs in stable and normal amounts vs super doses from manufactures you don't see in nature.
anyone telling you to reduce your fiber intake when americans fiber intake is already pitiful, has absolutely no idea what they are talking abt.

Watch out it's the fiber cult coming to your comments section 💀
To bad we cant down vote here
Thank you so very much for sharing such an informative article for free! This is incredibly informative, helpful and very well written. Thank you!!
Thank you for reading!
The essay contradicts a lot with itself.
First, you mention that we should avoid certain foods, and later you list the benefits of consuming them. For example: you say to stop coffee and zinc to reduce estrogen, but in another section you say coffee is good and so is zinc?
The article doesn't say to stop coffee and zinc.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume our bodies can't process algae into omega 3 like fish can.
But im saying can we get that from algae? Cows get good nutrients from grass but we can only get it from the cows themselves, not grass.
