“Hello Patrick from Melbourne Australia,
Just a quick message to say thank you and to let you know that I enjoyed your show with Dr Ray Peat immensely. He has so much knowledge across a broad spectrum of topics. Thank you so much for bringing him on and for doing what you do!!! I hope to hear more of Dr Peat in your future shows.”

“I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your recent interviews with Dr Ray Peat. I am thrilled waiting for the next one. I have known his work for quite some time, but it is so refreshing to listen to your shows. I hope you will carry on with cooperation. Dr Peat has endless knowledge to share and each time I listen to him I find something new and eye-opening. His knowledge and perspective are absolutely unique. In the world of keto, low carb nonsense, sugar hate and corrupted science, he is the last voice of honesty and sanity.” Best regards Ania from Poland

Ray Peat acquired his PhD from the University of Oregon with a specialization in physiology. He started his work on hormones in 1968 and wrote his dissertation in 1972 in which he outlined his ideas on progesterone and the hormones closely related to it. His main thesis is that energy and structure are interdependent at every level.

Some emails:

Last month Dr. Peat talked about how protein powders, except for gelatin, contain some toxic amino acids and effects. Please ask Dr. Peat whether hydrolyzed collagen powder is as effective as gelatin powder for protein, and whether it has toxic effects. 

Do you think fluoride and chlorine in our water and bromide in our bread are having major effects on our thyroids?
I have been told that when a person has Hashimotos, or other auto immune issues they should not use the natural desiccated thyroid medications such as Armour or Naturethroid because the body will attack these because they are natural? The body supposedly does not attack the synthetic medications like Synthroid. I prefer not to use the synthetic.
What is your view on this?

Which is more effective? Eating a whole orange, drinking its juice, or eating marmalade?
