Frequency therapy is the answer for balance
This includes all organisms. This is most obvious when we work on animals, particularly the horses. Their energy field is so large and so sensitive that the subtle shifts in improvement can’t be denied.

Be careful with your inundation of wireless devices. They are dangerous, they disturb the field and they are an invisible carcinogen.

Carcinogens contribute to disease states including cancer.

One of the most important things you can do for your health is to foster your digestion. With the increased use of antibiotics, our microbiome has changed significantly in the last several generations.

Most need to clean up the gut before they can reseed it.

🥕 Why We Love the Raw Carrot Salad 🥕

Sometimes the simplest foods do the biggest jobs—and the raw carrot salad is a perfect example. This humble daily staple can support gut health, hormone balance, and metabolism in powerful ways.

✨ Benefits of the raw carrot salad:
• Helps bind and es**rt excess bacterial endotoxin out of the gut
• Supports healthy estrogen metabolism (important for PMS, PCOS, endometriosis & menopause support)
• Encourages regular bowel movements without irritation and reduces IBS-C as well as D. (Constipation & Diarrhea)
• Feeds beneficial gut balance while discouraging harmful bacteria
• Supports the liver’s detox pathways
• Can help lower inflammation that contributes to fatigue, brain fog, and sluggish thyroid function

🥕 Carrots contain unique fibers that don’t ferment easily, making them especially helpful for sensitive digestion. When eaten raw, they act almost like a gentle “intestinal broom.”

👉 Simple daily version:
Raw shredded carrot + a pinch of salt + olive oil, a splash of vinegar or lemon juice
(optional: a little coconut oil rather than olive if tolerated. Either works just fine.)

Consistency matters more than perfection—just a small serving daily can make a noticeable difference over time.

Sometimes healing doesn’t come from adding more… it comes from clearing the way 🌿

The liver is the second thyroid. It is the main producer of thyroid hormone (T3), and by conversion, it makes far more thyroid hormone (T3) than the thyroid itself.

Women, in particular, need to pay attention to the liver - especially the estrogen load on the organ.

The Ray Peat Carrot Salad is very effective for some women as it can help absorb estrogen and other things that otherwise stress the liver and decrease conversion.

The recipe:
One large shredded carrot.
A teaspoon of coconut or olive oil.
A teaspoon of vinegar.
The carrot should be shredded lengthwise to maximize the fiber in contact with the gastrointestinal system.

This is great news

Look for a quality vitamin E with mixed tocopherols. 

Vitamin E prevents calcium oxalate/kidney stones.

It lowers lipid peroxidation, which otherwise causes stones to stick and grow at the site of lipid peroxidation injury.

“We are the first to demonstrate direct evidence in vivo that hyperoxaluria-induced peroxidation of renal tubular membrane binds individual calcium oxalate crystals and initiates kidney stone formation...

Vitamin E treatment completely prevented calcium oxalate crystal deposition in the kidney, by preventing hyperoxaluriainduced lipid peroxidation and tissue antioxidant imbalance. From these findings, vitamin E could therefore be considered in the therapy of hyperoxaluria-induced kidney stone formation, and this could benefit individuals with recurrent kidney stone disease.” PMID: 15963133 🐁

Estrogen blocks efficient thyroid activity. Well cooked mushrooms can help as can raw carrots and bamboo shoots. Mushrooms are a powerhouse though for a variety of good reasons including the prevention of hormonally driven cancers

According to a large prospective cohort study titled “Edible mushrooms as a potent therapeutics of subclinical thyroid dysfunction among adults, especially in obese individuals,” researchers followed 6,631 adults with normal thyroid function at baseline to examine whether mushroom intake influenced the development of subclinical thyroid dysfunction. The study, published in Food Science and Human Wellness (2022), defined subclinical hypothyroidism by abnormal TSH levels with normal thyroid hormone levels and tracked new cases using repeated blood measurements over time.

The results showed a clear dose-response relationship. Compared with people who rarely ate mushrooms, those who consumed mushrooms 1–3 times per week had a 47% lower risk, while individuals eating mushrooms four or more times per week had up to a 70% lower risk of developing subclinical hypothyroidism. The protective association was strongest in obese adults, where frequent mushroom consumption was linked to an 86% reduction in risk, even after adjusting for iodine intake, overall diet quality, lifestyle factors, and metabolic conditions.

Diaphragmatic breathing (Aka. deep, belly, or abdominal breathing) is proven in multiple peer-reviewed studies to lower cortisol levels. Suppressing the fight or flight response, which the elevated cortisol levels provoke.
Some of you may wake up in the middle of the night (though this can occur at any time of day) feeling flustered and perhaps a bit of weight in your chest, with an elevated heart rate. While this can also be associated with hot flashes and menopausal symptoms in pre and post-menopausal women, it’s very often associated with elevated cortisol levels. HINT: It isn't low estrogen. ;)
Cortisol, for those who do not know, is a stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. This effect is primarily attributed to its activation of the parasympathetic nervous system "rest and digest" response, which counteracts the sympathetic "fight or flight" system. It helps regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is responsible for cortisol release.
This type of breathing involves getting comfortable, preferably lying down, and placing one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Inhale slowly through your nose, allowing your abdomen to expand outward without moving your chest. When you exhale, do so slowly through your mouth and let your abdomen fall back. Each inhale should push the abdomen out, and each exhale should make it fall. Breathe slowly during both inhalation and exhalation.

Diet has a huge impact on thyroid hormone levels. The wrong signals can downregulate thyroid hormone conversion.

Caloric restriction, fasting, and low-carb diets decrease thyroid hormone conversion. These diets program the body to survive famine, slowing the metabolism by creating reverse T3 instead of thyroid hormone T3.

Eat regularly.
Eat enough.
Eat carbs.

When I do foot reflexology, I often point out the cold feet some clients experience — and this can be a subtle clue that the thyroid may need a little extra nutritional support. While it’s not a diagnosis, cold extremities often appear when metabolism is running slower than normal, and the thyroid is one of the major regulators of that metabolic spark.

Here are some of the top nutrients that help the thyroid function at its best:

1. Iodine
Essential for producing both T4 and T3. Without enough iodine, the thyroid simply can’t manufacture hormones efficiently.

2. Selenium
This is the star nutrient for converting T4 into the active hormone T3. Many people don’t realize that even if the thyroid produces enough T4, a conversion issue can still leave them with low T3, which is the hormone that actually boosts energy, warmth, and metabolism.

3. Zinc
Important for hormone production and also plays a secondary role in the T4-to-T3 conversion process.

4. Iron
Low iron can slow down thyroid hormone creation and reduce the body’s ability to activate those hormones.

5. Vitamin D
Supports overall endocrine function and immune balance — both essential when the thyroid is under stress.

6. B Vitamins
Especially B12 for energy production and nervous system support, which can be affected when thyroid activity is low.

If someone is dealing with fatigue, cold hands or feet, low basal temp/pulse, or sluggish digestion, sometimes the issue isn’t just the thyroid gland itself — it’s whether the body is converting T4 into enough active T3. Supporting that process with the right nutrients, lifestyle habits, and healthcare guidance can make a notable difference.

“There are several ways without having a blood test that you can make a pretty good guess about what your thyroid is doing. If your hands and feet are colder than average, that's because your adrenaline is holding your temperature up for your brain and heart by cutting the circulation to the extremities. So the oral temperature is a good indicator in general, but the cold extremities are the first sign of failing thyroid function.” — Ray Peat

Sing or hum to increase immune system activity!

Your voice holds power far beyond words.

According to a fascinating study, singing for just one hour can increase your body’s production of secretory immunoglobulin A, or SIgA, by up to 240 percent. SIgA is your immune system’s first line of defense. It coats the lining of your mouth, throat, lungs, and digestive system, blocking viruses and bacteria before they invade deeper.

Researchers compared people who sang to those who simply listened to music or sat quietly. The difference was clear. Singing led to a massive spike in immunity, while the other activities offered only minor changes.

The act of singing is not just emotional. It is physical medicine. Breath control strengthens the lungs. Muscle engagement improves circulation. Vocal vibration stimulates healing in the chest, face, and brain.

Even more impressive? Singing activates the vagus nerve. This nerve calms the body, regulates stress, lowers cortisol, and balances your immune system. It is the body’s natural switch between fight mode and healing mode.

This is not about singing well. It is about singing fully. Whether it is gospel in a choir, humming in the kitchen, or belting a pop song in the car, your immune system listens and responds.

Singing also boosts endorphins, creating a natural high that relaxes the mind and energizes the body. In a world overwhelmed by stress, that shift can be the medicine many people never realized they needed.

So sing like your health depends on it. Because science says it just might.

Your voice is more than expression. It is immunity in motion.

This is what oxidative damage looks like. A quick answer would be some vitamin e. Look for D-Alpha Tocopherol not DL-Alpha Tocopherol. Consider the L in the DL as “Loser”

Thyroid antibodies are higher in women with melasma and are even higher in cases of more severe melasma. Estrogen may be involved.

“Anti-TPO level is significantly higher in melasma cases compared to controls (25 vs 20). Within the melasma group, anti-TPO levels show a strong positive correlation with mMASI, and age... Anti-TPO antibodies are elevated in melasma and correlate with disease severity, supporting a potential autoimmune contribution to melasma pathogenesis.”

“The high incidence of autoimmune thyroid disease in women may be related to estrogen and estrogen receptors. Estrogen/ estrogen receptor is involved in the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases by acting on the thyroid gland and reacting to autoimmune diseases.”

“...melasma frequently occurs in non-pregnant women using oral contraceptive pills...Here we show that physiologic estrogen (17β-estradiol) and progesterone reciprocally regulate melanin synthesis. This is intriguing given that we also show that normal primary human MCs lack classical estrogen or progesterone receptors (ER or PR). Utilizing both genetic and pharmacologic approaches, we establish that s*x steroid effects on human pigment synthesis are mediated by the membrane-bound, steroid hormone receptors G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), and progestin and adipoQ receptor 7 (PAQR7). Activity of these receptors was activated or inhibited by synthetic estrogen or progesterone analogs that do not bind to ER or PR. As safe and effective treatment options for skin pigmentation disorders are limited, these specific GPER and PAQR7 ligands may represent a novel class of therapeutics.”

"Stress inhibits the thyroid, and can lower progesterone (and/or testosterone) while raising estrogen. Recent work by Siiteri and his group shows a hormonal involvement in various autoimmune diseases. Females are much more susceptible to these sicknesses than are males." — Ray Peat: Nutrition for Women.
