Same with other ppl thankfullness here!! ( just nor able to expres my emotions properly due to language barrier🤷🏻‍♀️).

And the resources are “bless you or curse you”!!! - my must listen/read list growing with each essay:)

One question Tara -can you recommend the reliaable resource on high fat impact to cardiovascular system? Every time when I talk to somebody about how I fell good on low carb and how carbs were bad as inducing anger, anxiety, people as “doesnt fat clogs arteries”? Some more advanced poiting to Ray Peat statement about fat as a fuel being big streess and inflamation to the body... Palmers theory about brain energy and mitochondria sounds very relaable, still he is talking about critically ill ppl, which choose keto vs debilitating symptoms...

Ha! I know what you mean.

As far as Chris Palmer talking about critically ill people, he's not. That's the beauty of this information, it's relevant to every single one of us, just to different degrees depending on the damage done, and to the degree, to our mitochondria. So, while someone may present as bipolar or schizophrenic, another may be depressed and inflamed or lethargic with low energy. It's still a dysfunction of the mitochondria.

As far as fat clogging arteries, I don't even think most mainstream doctors say that much anymore. At least not any that have read a science journal in the last few years. As a little anecdotal tidbit, we've been eating this way for a few decades this way - high fat, no grains, high protein. Our cholesterol levels are "stellar". Ray Peat's statements on burning fat as fuel as being a stress and inflammatory are quire paradoxical given the inflammation that is caused from relying on glucose for energy. Still, if people want to do it, that's up to them. For me, I am free of inflammation only when I am free of sugar.

Here's a few resources on cholesterol:
