•I am a general practitioner focused on optimizing health through the #carnivore and #ketogenic diet, as well as #quantumbiology. Listen to all my #Nostr exclusive content and more on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/X0FYoyalr3N4i1Pmq9YK #Ancap #Homeschooling #Austrianeconomics

I'm curious on your take on Milei, he's been receiving mixed criticisms amongst libertarians and anarcho capitalists. At first it sounded contradictory to me that, a supposed ancap, would run for president and I naturally distrust politicians, but I guess an ancap could try do it to actually damage the government from the inside. The problem I see with that though, is that power corrupts and politics is a cesspool that eventually gets to you.

¿Algun psicólogo/a que esté llevando a cabo una dieta carnívora o cetogénica? Me interesaría entablar una conversación.

Nope, but Mexico is a very multicultural place so I wouldn't be surprised. Also, I said secular not Jewish, but I agree that it's a bigger deal she's a socialist and a globalist. Unfortunately, Mexico is full of socialist policy supporting people.

Interesting, I had no idea. Giving that Mexico is the country with most Catholics in the world, I'm surprised the opposition didn't try using her secularity against her. Then again, I don't follow politics in my country much.

Hey, no problem, ask away. There aren't any studies that I'm aware of that look into the effects of the carnivore diet long term in relation to sex hormones. But generally, ketogenic diets have shown to reduce the level of estrogens circulating in the blood, most likely due to the loss of adipose tissue (a source of estrogen production), therefore resulting in a lowering of aromatase activity in fat tissue (aromatase is an enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens).

So it seems excess estrogen isn't a problem while on a carnivore diet, for both men and women, it's actually a way of reversing gynecomastia in men. The liver metabolizes estrogens into conjugated estrogens, making them more watersoluble and then eliminating them mainly through the kidneys but also through biliary excretion. Some of the conjugated estrogens in the bile can then be deconjugated by bacterial enzymes in the gut and reabsorbed. Fiber can help reduce some of this reabsorbtion, but that might be "helpful" for people on a SAD diet, where they might actually have excess estrogen. That doesn't seem to be the case on carnivore. Cheers!

TLDR: It doesn't seem excess estrogen is a problem on a ketogenic diet, therefore it would probably be even less of a problem on carnivore. Also, most of estrogens are eliminated through the kidneys and not the bile, so no worries about reabsorption there.

Nutritional science is not a hard science, there are a lot of misconceptions out there that want to convince you that exogenous sugar is "good" and "necessary". Nonsense, the minimum requirement for exogenous carbohydrates is 0 grams. I'm not saying go 100% carnivore, I'm just saying you don't need carbs to function optimally and anyone saying otherwise doesn't understand basic human physiology.

I feel exactly the same way, I would never include my bitcoin or anarcho capitalist views on other social media. I guess I feel more understood and comfortable here.

Not at all, she was in deep ketosis so no worries. The brain actually functions great on ketones, of course there will always be a need for some glucose for proper brain function but we don't need as much glucose as most people think. There have been cases of people having their glucose as low as 20mg/dL while in deep ketosis.

My wife went pretty close to a lion diet and on day 10 we checked her glucose and ketones with the ketomojo, her glucose was 34mg/dl and her ketones were at 5.1mmol/L. She felt great.

The #carnivorediet did wonders for me and my wife, then I saw it doing wonders for my patients. How can I not go down this rabbit hole? I have my wife to thank, she was the final push I needed to start this journey.

Also considering adding peanut butter intentionally back into my diet.

Why the fuck would I do that? Aren't I supposed to be #carnivore?

Well, piss off. I've varied how strictly I've adhered to the cult of carnivore from the beginning. Sure, I go days and weeks without eating any plants, but I still occasionally eat things that are not non-plan.

I actually started carnivore as just low-carb, and would snack on peanuts. I found that was a bad idea, as I could easily "snack" a whole jar of peanuts in a day. So I dropped them.

But I would occasionally get a late night craving for something, and a couple spoons of peanut butter was a better option than many others I tried.

Here's what I know. I'm definitely not allergic to peanuts. PB has been a satisfying late night option. I can get it with no added ingredients, just peanuts, pretty easily. Peanuts have protein and fat. They have a low glycemic index. A couple spoonfuls of PB isn't that much in carbs. Peanuts are not animals, and our ancestors probably didn't eat them. Carnivorous animals do not eat them. Whole peanuts do not completely digest in our stomach/intestines. I don't have kin issues or oxalate issues I'm concerned about triggering. Smooth PB generally has palm oil added, and I'm not cool with that. Peanuts can inhibit iron and zinc absorption, but I don't plan to eat them when eating other things, just late at night.

So I'll probably do it. Then I may stop. Or I won't. PB may actually help when I'm getting stricter in other areas (likely stopping pork, cured meats, dairy (except butter), spiced/sauced/breaded meats when offered to me, quitting nicotine, etc).

But if anyone has any concerns about peanuts or peanut butter they feel I should be aware of, I'm listening.

Hey! I don't know if you've had an oxalate heavy diet in the past but oxalate dumping can occur to those who suddenly adopt a low carb or carnivore diet. The thing is, it can appear relatively soon after starting this diet or many months after, it's still not known why. Peanut butter is an oxalate bomb, so you never know if you can develop oxalate problems later on if you start eating it regularly, but the poison is in the dose. Anyways, I'd just be aware of any symptoms developing over time and if they appear, it would probably be the peanut butter. Cheers.

I'm not a doctor, but I know how to analyze data, so here is my response to the cardiologist who wanted me to go on Statin

I printed out each study, and he didn't bother to look at them.

I do a complete blood panel plus with nine vials of blood drawn and over 36 different tests. Everything was perfect except for LDL.

My oxidatedLDLL was six from 1-20

His only response was, “Then why do Statins work?”

High cholesterol is bad advice based on faulty science from the 1950s; Ancel Keys cherry-picked data with his seven-country study.

Every cell membrane in your body requires cholesterol.

Animal fat is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

Vitamin D is produced when cholesterol in the skin is exposed to UVB radiation from the sun.

Testosterone, DHEA-S, Estradiol, Progesterone, and Prolactin are all steroid hormones synthesized from cholesterol in various tissues in the body. Cholesterol is converted into pregnenolone, which is then used to make these hormones through a series of enzymatic reactions.

This is the way. Many doctors don't bother to question what they are taught, they're bombarded with so much information, exams and making presentations that they leave them not wanting to dig deeper or think critically. Also, you can rarely question the doctor giving the class, undermine his authority and you run the risk of a hard/terrible time. There's this strange ego thing among many of the educators and they seem to pass it onto the students.

You need a doctor/patient relationship, it cannot be a one-sided relationship, a lot of patients even known more about their diseases than a lot of docs, because they have a vested interest.
