Alcohol

[edit]
Problem Mechanics Solution During After
Alcohol depletes nutrients, stresses the liver, and increases endotoxin absorption Avoid Reductive Stress Fructose + saturated fat (like OJ + coconut oil): Increases alcohol clearance by supporting liver metabolism. CO2 production: Enhance with thyroid support, red light, and sugar to restore oxidative metabolism.
Chronic use exacerbates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Copper-rich foods (liver, oysters, shrimp): Protects against alcohol-induced iron overload and mitochondrial dysfunction. Liver support: Aspirin: Low-dose may reduce fibrosis and inflammation.
Endotoxin- Tumor necrosis factor alpha Increases endotoxin (LPS), which activates TNF-alpha and IL-6 → inflammation and liver damage[1], impairs gut microbiota balance, creating dysbiosis[2] Niacinamide + Thiamine + Lipoic Acid: Supports NAD+/NADH balance and energy production.
Raised estrogen Beer, wine, and dark whiskey, etc., contain enough estrogen to be harmful. Pure colorless highly distilled alcohol is the safest
Alcohol metabolism Acetaldehyde causes toxicity; acetate used for energy or stored as fat, generates free radicals leading to oxidative damage foods rich in copper, (shellfish), vitamin E against oxidative damage, fructose helps metabolize ethanol faster, aids alcohol metabolism, maintaining effective oxidation of starch and sugar Vitamin E: Protects against lipid peroxidation (especially if PUFA is present). Taurine: Liver-protective, helps with bile flow.
foods rich in copper, (shellfish) increases NADH/NAD+ ratio which impairs energy metabolism. Activated charcoal: May reduce LPS exposure from gut, especially with meals. Glycine/Gelatin: Balances methionine, reduces inflammation, supports detox.
PUFA + alcohol + low thyroid = lipid peroxidation (toxic combo). hypoglycemia with pro-oxidative effect, oxidative reactions between iron and the fats, Avoid PUFA, (reacts with alcohol, toxic)
thyroid -> mitochondrial respiration reduces thyroid hormone levels and suppresses mitochondrial respiration
Liver Support
Find and eliminate the need for alcohol.
“The oxidation of alcohol, like that of sugar, depends on the activity of lipoic acid, thiamine, and riboflavin.”

Cigarettes

[edit]
Problem Mechanics Solution During After
Increases free fatty acids Switches from glucose to fatty acid oxidation by increasing FFAs Niacinamide
Depletes nutrients Vitamin A, vitamin E, Take them Vitamin E: Potent antioxidant, protects against lipid peroxidation from smoke. Red light therapy: Stimulates cytochrome c oxidase to restore mitochondrial function.
Increases oxidative stress and reduces mitochondrial respiration. Oxidative stress & lipid peroxidation: Vitamin C: High doses can counteract oxidative stress and prevent loss of vitamin E. Progesterone: Anti-inflammatory and stabilizes energy metabolism.
Carbon monoxide Displaces oxygen -> Mitochondrial inhibition Thyroid hormone (T3 or NDT): Stimulates mitochondrial function and opposes respiratory inhibition. Ghost exhale- Don’t inhale all the smoke, let some of it out to lower the carbon monoxide load.[3] Avoid PUFA: Smoking + PUFA = highly oxidative combo. Stick to saturated fats (coconut oil, butter).
Nitric oxide inhibits respiration, inhibit cytochrome oxidase (complex IV), slowing ATP production. Niacinamide: Supports NAD+ recycling and opposes inflammatory stress.
Various aldehydes toxic to tissues Magnesium: Calms overactive stress response
Smoking mold[4] mycotoxins like aflatoxin for mold-free or organic sources (though quitting is obviously better). Coffee: Peat often recommended it for stimulating metabolism and aiding heavy metal detox which may reduce some lung cancer risk due to polyphenols.

Psychosis risk, more pronounced with high doses or frequent/repeated use Serotonin-2A receptor agonism produces a psychosis-like syndrome resembling first episodes of schizophrenia; blocked dose-dependently by the 5-HT2A antagonist ketanserin or the atypical antipsychotic risperidone, but increased by the dopamine antagonist haloperidol[5] Avoid high doses and avoid frequent/repeated use; space sessions out

Amphetamines/Uppers (Adderall, Ritalin, Meth, Cocaine)

[edit]

"Excitatory neurotransmitters are always damaging to some degree. The body’s long-term health depends on suppressing these excitotoxic impulses with things like progesterone, CO2, B1, and glucose." "Stimulants that rely on catecholamines are like burning your furniture to stay warm."

Suppresses appetite, sleep, thyroid, and digestion. Restore sleep:

Progesterone + glycine + honey at bedtime. K2 lowers blood pressure, vivid dreams, cypro lowers stress hormones

Overdrives sympathetic nervous system chronic “wired but tired” state. Mind alert, body tired.
Adrenaline spike crash: Leads to anxiety, paranoia, fatigue, and eventually anhedonia. Progesterone, thyroid, pregnenolone, stable blood sugar
Thyroid suppression Long-term use leads to cold hands, fatigue, and low metabolism. T3 (cytomel), liver, eggs, orange juice
Nutrient depletion B-vitamins (especially B1, B3, B6), magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C and A are rapidly used up. Supplement missing nutrients
Uses FFA as fuel If you're full of PUFA and liberate stores with uppers, causes a lot of the brain damage cases.
Adrenal fatigue, serotonin syndrome ↑ Estrogen -> ↑ Serotonin, makes you take more Uppers, since it lowers serotonin temporarly but ends up raised in the long run - cycle.

Short-form video (TikTok/Reels/Shorts)

[edit]

fMRI in 56 young adults found that watching a preferred, liked short-form video to completion deactivated the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the regions responsible for cognitive control and impulse-stopping; disliked or skipped clips did not produce this effect. Resting glutamate levels in the dorsal anterior cingulate predicted how strongly a person's cognitive control shut down, with higher glutamate linked to less suppression.[8] Treat compulsive short-form scrolling as a real self-control drain, not just a time-waster; limiting exposure (app timers, removing apps, batching viewing) reduces the number of times this shutdown gets triggered.

Gear/Steroids/PEDs - supraphysiological amounts

[edit]

View testosterone as metabolic, not purely anabolic: It’s downstream of thyroid and progesterone.

Balance hormones via liver function first: Estrogen is cleared by the liver - burdened livers = estrogen buildup.

Progesterone is pro-libido, anti-estrogen, is protective on tissue, organ and cell level - helps reverse many steroid side effects.

Progesterone, unlike testosterone, doesn’t aromatise and thus doesn't contribute to baldness or aggressive behavior, and it opposes estrogen’s growth-promoting and inflammatory effects.

Problem Mechanics Solution During After
Suppresses endogenous testosterone & DHT Leads to erectile dysfunction, depression, poor wound healing. Post Cycle Therapy - restore hormone production - progesterone, thyroid, lot of aspirin and pregnenolone for AI, Restore hormones

Progesterone: Natural HPTA booster, lowers estrogen, reduces anxiety.

DHEA or pregnenolone: Supports neurosteroids and testosterone production.

Thyroid (T3 or NDT): Enhances DHT/testosterone synthesis.

Estrogen dominance via aromatization Puffiness, mood swings, inflammation, Aromatase inhibition:

Progesterone + DHEA: Natural aromatase inhibitor, anti-estrogenic, balances anabolic signaling.

Pregnenolone: Pro-androgenic, anti-stress.

Thyroid (T3): Supports liver detox and prevents estrogen buildup.

Nitric oxide and vascular permeability vascular leakage, “pump” sensation, and tissue damage, raised inflammation, veiny vehind palms Nitric oxide suppression:

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and niacinamide reduce NO levels.

Methylene blue (low dose): Peat-favored for inhibiting nitric oxide and supporting mitochondria.

Weight Cutting / Dehydration / Making Weight

[edit]
Problem Mechanics Solution During After
Rapid water and weight loss Extreme stress on the body. Electrolyte balance: Prioritize sodium + potassium over just water restriction. Rehydrate with sodium + sugar: Orange juice with salt is ideal.
Elevates cortisol, adrenaline, aldosterone, and serotonin Suppresses thyroid and immune function Niacinamide, progesterone, sugar, gelatin, magnesium Carbohydrates: Avoid ketosis; use juice, milk, honey to fuel liver and preserve muscle. Thyroid (T3): If metabolic markers are low (cold hands, fatigue, low pulse).
Nutrient and CO2 depletion Depletes sodium, potassium, glycogen, reduces CO₂ production Balance of electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium Niacinamide: Prevents excessive lipolysis and cortisol. Progesterone: For men and women - restores GABA, lowers stress, increases DHT and testosterone.
Hormonal suppression Testosterone and thyroid = loss of libido, mood crashes, and inflammation. T3, cholesterol-rich foods, red light, liver Gelatin + sugar: Calms nerves, lowers serotonin, and supports sleep. Red light therapy: Helps repair skin, joints, and mitochondria.

Overtraining & gut permeability

[edit]
Problem Mechanics Solution During After
Splanchnic hypoperfusion Blood is diverted from the gut to working muscle and skin during intense/prolonged training, causing local ischemia in the intestinal mucosa[10] Deload week(s) after a hard block; stop sessions before fatigue Nose-breathing as an intensity gauge
Ischemia-reperfusion oxidative stress Xanthine oxidase generates ROS on reperfusion, damaging tight-junction proteins (claudin-1) and widening the gut barrier[11] 1g ascorbic acid (vitamin C) abolished the exercise-induced endotoxin/nitrite rise[12]
Cytokine-driven tight-junction opening IL-1β/TNF-α activate myosin light-chain kinase, contracting the actin-myosin ring around gut epithelial cells and pulling junctions apart Zinc carnosine and/or bovine colostrum truncate the permeability rise by up to 70%[13] Glutamine used by some, though Peat's own writing is cautious about it since stressed tissue preferentially consumes it as fuel; see Glutamine
Overtraining-driven dysbiosis Moderate exercise favors beneficial SCFA-producing bacteria (Akkermansia); high-volume/high-intensity training shifts toward pro-inflammatory taxa despite higher diversity[14][15] Train 2-3x/week, concentric-dominant; see Roadmap/08
Running-specific permeability A 90-minute run at a demanding pace raises intestinal permeability and serum I-FABP whether or not the runner has GI symptoms[16] Avoid stacking a long fasted run with heat exposure
Heat load compounds gut damage more than session length Exercising above 23°C substantially raises gut damage markers versus a thermoneutral environment[17] Train in the cool part of the day; sodium with fluids

Mechanism detail: Leaky gut.

Naloxone & Naltrexone (low-dose, short-course)

[edit]

I have seen good results from using naloxone for 3 or 4 days; naltrexone has similar effects. Doses of one milligram or less can sometimes be effective... I think it's safe to take 5 or 10 mg of naltrexone daily for a few days, but I don't think it should be used continuously; I have known people who had good results, repeating the short courses two or three times in a year.

— Ray Peat[18]

Peat suspected that excess endorphins are often the underlying problem opioid antagonists address (rather than endorphin deficiency), and noted naloxone/naltrexone also have effects on estrogen and histamine independent of endorphin blockade. He did not consider pramipexole safe, but considered ginkgo fairly safe.[19]
