Not sure if anyone here is familiar with his work, but it's interesting none the less. For reference he does have his Ph.D in biology from University of Oregon.
He has recommended specific diets for people and has interesting perspectives regarding human health and it's relation to inflammation, the thyroid, hormones and stress.
One thing that is interesting is that he doesn't demonize sugar like everyone else does. He does advocate many other things that is common in the RooshV forum like coconut oil, bone broth etc. He also claims we need to eat more than just pure muscle meat so we can get the appropriate amino acids.
Here is a brief break down of the diet structure. Keep in mind he recommends experimenting as well as monitoring your temperature, blood work and other vitals.

He also has a vast article index for further reading here:

Some sample titles
The dark side of stress (learned helplesness)
Physiology texts and the real world
Regeneration and degeneration: Types of inflammation change with aging
An interview with him:
“Making an effort to learn how to use techniques of food, hormones, light, activity, etc., is similar to the effort needed to work with a psychologist, and the effort itself is part of the therapy—the particular orientation of the psychotherapist isn’t what’s therapeutic, it’s the ability to participate in meaningful interactions, that is, the ability to provide a situation in which the person can practice being human. When people start thinking about the things in their life that can be changed, they are exercising aspects of their organism that had been atrophied by being in an authoritarian culture. Authoritarians talk about protocols, but the only valid ‘protocol’ would be something like ‘perceive, think, act.’” —Raymond Peat, PhD
