We're devastated to share that Ray Peat passed away on Thanksgiving day. He was one of the most iconoclastic thinkers of his time, and we were incredibly fortunate to be able to meet and film him. We will share more info as it comes. Let's all raise a coffee mug in memory of Ray.

Please do not email Ray’s address or call his phone. This is a request from his family.

Today the world lost a man of staggering intellect, perspicacity, and conviction. We feel fortunate to have spent some quality time filming with him, but this has blindsided us, as he seemed so robust. Thoughts to his family, friends, and students. @drpersinger @LaurentianU

Do you remember the promise of gene therapy, with cures falling down like manna from heaven? 30 years on, we now have a single therapy approved by the FDA, with a litany of life-threatening side effects. And it costs $500k. More on the story here:

We fully support empirical, evidence-based medicine. The issue is that mainstream research is not empirically driven, but profit-driven. Thus the "evidence" is often wrong, and potentially deadly. This article breaks it down masterfully:

Who would have thought that depression could be caused by life events? And that a class of drugs that supposedly raises serotonin, which is supposedly low in depression (both statements may be false), doesn’t really help?

What do good science and good art have in common? According Dr. Gilbert Ling, the living legend (99 y/o) of renegade biology, it's creative authorship.

If science wants to understand life, it can't ignore it's liveliest aspects. In this quote, Dr. Peat expertly cuts through the fog of reductionism.

Is everything we know about depression wrong? Mostly. When grief from life events isn't an accepted cause of depression, and the only accepted cause is a "broken brain" remedied by SSRIs, you have a broken system.
