You're welcome! :)
Yep, dropping the animal protein and going fruitarian definitely affected my endocrine system. My chronically elevated PTH while strict peating came down to the low end of the range, my depression, high adrenaline and anxiety attacks disappeared, I stopped waking during the night needing to pee and I now have periods. My progesterone level went from non-existent without the use of high doses of Progest-E (a bottle a week) to the highest it has been, far exceeding the 10x that off estrogen ratio that Ray says is optimal.
Your theory is much better than mine. It sounds complicated enough to be convincing so I say we go with it! lol Mine is that sweet fruit is scarce during the winter and what's available is so unripe that tree bark would be less aggravating to my intestines, and my body knows that the coconut, avos and olives are always available and ripe so I can actually get some painless calories and not have to go to bed starving. I'm still not at a point where I can skimp on calories for extended periods without my adrenals freaking out.
Ah so then you are still vegan?
Well sounds like you've made some excellent headway! I've said it before elsewhere but the number one thing that I felt like regulated me for adrenals and stress cycles in general (aside from following my tastebuds) was just letting go alittle bit. I'm a performance head though, so I'm sure some of the severity of my issues was driven by the fact that I'm not very patient with myself lol I have a hard time accepting that I suck at something. This usually drives me to jump the gun and try to fix everything that's going wrong in one day which never works out well.
Anyway, it took me NOT taking that approach and living in the suck and just learning to be ok with a slow mend.
