Think, Perceive, Act
Thank you, Jay, Mike, and Theresa for bringing Ray Peat’s work to the masses and for sharing the insights you each individually have in your own health and energy journeys, as well as things you’ve seen work consistently with clients in particular states and contexts. You have done more to improve my health and energy than all of the specialists and surgeons I’ve ever seen. This is more than just a physiology, nutrition or health podcast. It is not another “system” to try. It is a wholistic fram... more

My favorite wellness podcast!
This podcast is hands down my favorite health and wellness podcast, and that’s saying something, because I listen to a lot of them 😅 Jay, Mike, and Theresa go so in-depth and they’re so knowledgeable. I have learned so much and deepened my understanding of these complex health topics. They also lay things out so simply, it makes it easy to implement these steps in your own life. I also love their objective and professional but non-judgmental approach. Highly recommend!

So informative
I have listened to many episodes (I recommend starting from ep 1 to learn the basics of prometabolic eating). It’s so informative and educational. Do yourself a favour and stop scrolling through all the misinformation out there on MSM, and listen to this instead!

Where has this podcast been all my life?
Incredibly informative podcast that gives a refreshing point of view. Highlights mitochondrial function as the key factor in why the keto craze doesn’t work for everyone. The oxalate series was mind blowing and makes other oxalate conversations laughable. New listener!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BV #36: You Don’t Need to Cut Carbs or Sugar to Lose Fat

Q: How can it be possible to lose weight when a constant supply of quick energy is readily available from glycogen and carbs together with significant dietary fat intake?

The hosts say that having both carbohydrates and fat available does not prevent fat loss. They discuss total energy intake, metabolic function, digestion, food tolerance, sleep, and stress as factors that may affect weight change, and distinguish the listener's plateau from claims about how insulin or carbohydrate use works.

BV #35: What You’ve Been Told About Insulin and Fat Loss Is Wrong

Q: Why should I wait with my coffee intake 90 minutes?

The hosts say there is not a universal need to wait 90 minutes and dispute the proposed adenosine-clearance explanation. They suggest eating breakfast before or with coffee if caffeine on an empty stomach causes stress, jitters or an afternoon crash, and adjusting intake to individual responses.

Blood Sugar Spiks, Carbs Deplete Nutrients, Thiamine Protocols, & Optimal Heart Rate (Q&A)

Q: What is the relationship between high-dose thiamine protocols and carbohydrate metabolism, and how should one marry these approaches?

High-dose thiamine can support metabolism, especially when carbohydrate intake is substantial, since thiamine is necessary for carbohydrate metabolism (pyruvate dehydrogenase). It's not a universal fix, but ensuring adequate B-vitamins and overall nutrient sufficiency can help, particularly for fatigue and digestion. The guidance is to focus on nutrient-dense foods and avoid over-supplementation unless deficiencies or symptoms indicate a benefit.

Blood Sugar Spiks, Carbs Deplete Nutrients, Thiamine Protocols, & Optimal Heart Rate (Q&A)

Q: Could you discuss resting heart rate from the bioenergetic/thyroid viewpoint and how to interpret it in relation to metabolism and fitness?

Resting heart rate reflects more than fitness; it signals sympathetic versus parasympathetic balance and metabolic rate. A lower resting heart rate usually correlates with better fitness, but in hypothyroid or stressed states it can be misleading. The host recommends a general target of 70-85 bpm for many, with adjustments down for higher aerobic fitness, and emphasizes interpreting HR in the context of thyroid health and metabolic state.

Blood Sugar Spiks, Carbs Deplete Nutrients, Thiamine Protocols, & Optimal Heart Rate (Q&A)

Q: Should beans be avoided because of anti-nutrients, and are they ever a healthy carbohydrate source?

Beans are high in anti-nutrients and starch, and while they can lower postprandial glucose due to their composition, they are generally not recommended as a primary carbohydrate source. Sprouting or soaking can reduce anti-nutrients, but the overall stance is to prefer other carbohydrate sources unless beans fit a person's digestion and glucose context, and to focus on nutrient-dense options while monitoring digestion and energy.
