Over the last five years, the 'Ray Peat Diet' has exploded in popularity.
Having experimented with various diets — I found none as transformative as adopting the "Peaty" way of eating.
Here's a list of the top benefits I experienced (some of which will astonish you):
• Panic attacks gone
• Insulin resistance reversed
• Clinical anxiety vanished
• Hypothyroidism fixed
• Blood sugar levels stabilised
• Polycythemia reversed
• Bradycardia reversed
• Debilitating insomnia abolished
• Chronic constipation cured
• Heart palpitations have gone
• Rarely get up in the night to pee
• Testosterone levels shot up from 421 to 871
• Afternoon energy slumps are now non existent
• Total cholesterol and LDL levels have more than halved
• Resilience to extreme temperatures has improved immensely — I no longer get cold hands or feet
• Sex drive has gone from a dreary 4/10 to a healthy 9/10
• Gained over 30 lbs of lean muscle (with no fat gain)
• Volatile erectile issues — especially waking up soft and staying hard during sex are now a thing of the past
• Tolerance to stress has improved drastically — I no longer get triggered or react emotionally
• My gaunt, pale look has vanished; my face now looks chiseled and sharp, with a transformed jaw structure
• Life feels effortless for the first time since I was 20, it feels worth living for the first time in a long, long time
While these benefits are significant, it’s crucial to approach them with a grain of salt.
This has been my journey following Ray Peat's principles, and results can vary.
If there's one thing to take away, it’s this:
I honestly believe nearly every health issue can be addressed via the right nutritional intervention.
While I consider most of Ray's teachings to be superior to many others in the health space...
I encourage you to do your own research and verify these findings for yourself.
Remember, I am not your guru; I am merely a guide.

It's the same protocol Tony Robbins used to help remove toxic levels of mercury.
