Ok... first question... what’s a good dose of dhea to consider and what’s a good brand to use?
On a side note I’ve been trying our prosterone (idealabs) ... (as of now I’m not regularly taking it. I’ve settled on 2 drops at a time once or twice a day or none at all.)
I think I read if I’m using that I wouldn’t need to supp w dhea.
Thanks for the summary @johnwester130. Very useful because starting Peating can be really confusing. It still is sometimes. Learning every day..
I see you had some addendums. Could you post an updated summary?

Hey there!
Quick questions for you, as I started going in-depth to RP Bioenergetic lifestyle:
Why is growth hormone bad?
Why is melatonin bad?
Why are B5,B9,B12, PABA , inositol & choline suggested to be avoided ?
Are there any ways to counter-act the anti-metabolic effects when eating flesh meat?
Those percentages refer to the weight of the carbs/fats/proteins or the amount of calories derived from each of the macros?Ray Peat recommendations resemble a modified Fruit diet(sugar) 65%
Structural saturated fats, minerals, fat soulables from diary,liver, yolks 20%
Additional protein 80-100 grams(320 calories) like 15%
Whuuu? Why is astanxanthin and quercetin bad? Green Tea Extract? These are things I take almost everyday and I have seen no negative references to them, could you please provide links?t3,
cyproheptadine , baking soda, methylene blue.
atp, succinic acid, quinones, inosine,
agmatine, adamantane ,
are also substances that move you into the right direction.
stuff like
spirulina, resveratrol, astaxanthin, quercetin, Green Tea Extract, hyaluronic acid
will move you towards a negative direction and work against the body
