Hey Peat forum members!
I've been lurking around on the forum for about a week now, and finally decided to make an account.
I'm a 25 year old male, located in California. I've been relatively "healthy" my whole life, but over the past few years have started getting some weird symptoms. These symptoms include:
My diet/lifestyle over the past 7 years probably didn't do much to help me. I have definitely been limiting my sugar/carb consumption during these years. I also haven't been eating a lot of salt. I also drank a lot of water. And, unfortunately my PUFA consumption was pretty high. I'm now working on a more Peat-inspired diet to try and improve my symptoms. Focusing on raising my temps/pulse, warming my extremities, and eliminating my other symptoms.
I plan to use this forum to track my progress, and hopefully with the help of you guys reach a new level of health!

- My extremities are pretty much always cold unless I’m working out. (This is probably the first symptom I noticed, starting in 2011.)
- It's really hard for me to sweat. I'm a very active person and love doing active things like yoga, hiking, surfing, etc. But it takes a lot for me to warm up and start sweating.
- My basal body temperature hovers at around 96 degrees. (This I only became aware of very recently, but I’m guessing has been an issue for quite some time.)
- My resting pulse rate hovers at around 60 BPM.
- Less high quality sleep and waking up multiple times in the night. Troubles falling asleep sometimes.
- Slight degradation in the overall quality of my hair and nails. (This is what led me to find Danny Roddy and later Raymond Peat and this forum!)
- Feelings of anxiety and stress, but not having any idea where these feelings are coming from. Like it’s coming from deep within my body, rather than caused by things going on in my life.
- Strange digestion. My bowel movements are regular in time (every day or twice a day), but not regular in consistency. My stools always break apart when flushing/are never fully solid. I think stuff passes through me too quickly and isn't fully digested. (Sorry for the graphic depiction haha.)
