Live high:train low increases muscle buffer capacity and submaximal cycling efficiency - PubMed Showing intermittent time in altitude around 3000m having benefits ,e.g. less oxygen consumption . So even just a few hours every day at high altitude can have a good effect. Metabolic and work...

Abstract Background: Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in December 2019, it has affected over 200 countries, areas, or territories in six continents. At present, whether COVID-19 has an effect on...

If propranolol reduces cortisol, adrenaline and has bone protective effects (opposite to calcification?) Would it be a potential remedy for hair loss?

Self explanatory title. But basically describes relationships between thyroid hormones (T4 and T3), thyroid metabolites, and mast cell function as well as histamine. Thyroid Hormone, Thyroid Hormone Metabolites and Mast Cells: A Less Explored Issue "Interestingly, brain mast cells contain not...

Been applying Peat principals, diet and supplements for around 4 years and very little has made much difference. Last bloodwork showed high androgens but I still experience poor sleep, libido, exercise tolerance and worsening body composition. I'd held off because it seemed like a relatively...

I started 1/4 grain of thyroid-s three days ago as I have every symptom of hypothyroidism. My pulse is around 55 BPM, temps don't go above 36.6c, I have regular adrenaline spikes, extremities are always cold etc. I seem to have had quite a strange reaction. Since initiation, I have felt very...

Just something I noticed, is that when taking a T4/T3 combination like tyromix, I dont seem to notice much in the way of instant effects or its more subtle, even when taking 5 drops (so 30mcg t4/15 mcg t3). But when taking even a small dab of T3 only like tyronnene (say like 2mcgs t3) I notice...

Peat's most recent newsletter was on the topic of cholesterol and its increased esterification as a possible cause of the many pathologies that occur with aging. Nov 2018: Dr. Peat Talks About Cholesterol Esters Causing Aging One of the organs most vulnerable to cholesterol esterification is...

As we all understand, healthy body temperature is a good sign. I think we would agree that when our body temperature and limb temperature is good, we generally feel very good. I also think many of us arrive here because we have body temperature issues, whether some of us are aware of it or not...

It does not get much better than what this study found. More than 2/3 of mildly depressed patients and basically all moderately and severely depressed ones has low T3 levels. TSH was elevated in almost 55% of the patients. As the study says, this widespread prevalence of sub-clinical...

This is probably too basic for most people on the forum. But I made it after talking to friends and family about their thyroid bloodwork, so maybe it'll be helpful to yours. And I might do some more advanced ones with time.

The "good" news for PUFA and endotoxin just keep on coming. I already posted a few studied showing that PUFA inhibits binding of androgens to their receptor and increases binding of estrogens to their receptor. This new study shows that PUFA and endotoxin inhibit the binding of vitamin D to...

A few users ( @aguilaroja ) posted recent case studies showing that biotin in doses as "low" as 10mg daily can interfere with lab test results and produce false positives for a number of conditions. Perhaps the most widely publicized interference is related to thyroid lab tests. Several people...

It is funny how the knowledge about toxicity of a given chemical can be so widespread in certain areas of the world and completely censored in others. Not only that, but India seems to have banned fluoride for causing the same issues that Western medicine claims it prevents! Let's see if other...

This new study is one of the few that puts the spotlight on the role of hormones (and thus metabolism) in weight disorders. Most doctors and dieticians believe that being obese or anorectic is simply an issue of eating too much or too little. However, multiple human studies have shown that it is...

I have posted before studies in regards to the link between metabolism, energy and highly valued human qualities like altruism, and helpfulness. As has been confirmed in humans, egalitarian beliefs, altruism and generally friendly behavior towards complete (genetic) strangers requires good...

Over the last 3 years I posted quite a few studies on Alzheimer disease (AD) and have discussed it at length in the Danny Roddy podcasts. Among the most successful interventions are niacinamide and methylene blue (MB) both of which are in human clinical trials, thyroid and aspirin. Alzheimer...

This topic has been discussed on the forum a few times before but the humbers quotes by recent studies usually hovered around 20% - 30%, which did not cause much alarm among endocrinologists. Now, this larger study shows that the decline in male fertility is much worse than previously thought...

The so-called fetal alcohol syndrome has been on the rise over the last 2 decades and its symptoms largely overlap with the "adult" alcohol syndrome or at least the behavioral parts of it. Broda Barnes once wrote that he never treated an alcoholic who was not also hypothyroid and that he also...
