I'm only in my early 20s, what could be the cause?
I eat mostly: milk, OJ, coke, gelatin, coffee, occasionally: eggs, pizza with no PUFA, burgers with no PUFA, Italian/Indian food made with primarily cheese/saturated fat, infrequently: beans, veggies, shrimp. I usually get at least 80+ grams of animal protein each day and my PUFA intake is pretty low.
I probably should eat more liver and shellfish for the vitamins and trace minerals but I don't do well with copper-rich foods (beef liver), chicken liver is exceedingly high in iron, and plus I'm worried about heavy metal contamination in oysters.
Thankfully my hair has reached the point that it can sustain itself without supplements (I know, it's vain... but I have to be honest, that's why I came to Peat in the first place), so I don't really take supplements regularly anymore except Vitamin D & K, methylene blue and thyroid. I take the occasional B complex when I need a mental boost, occasional vitamin E if I've eaten out, occasional Progest-E if I need to relax. I realize I said I don't really take supplements anymore but nevermind, that was a pretty long list of supplements...
My temps are pretty steady in the low-mid 98s (I know 98.6 is better, but my digestion isn't great enough to handle so much food yet), my heart rate is probably a bit higher than it should be because of excess adrenaline, but overall I don't think my metabolism is in bad shape...
Don't know if this is relevant but I am single and drink very little alcohol.
Are there any vitamin deficiencies or anything I should focus on to fix this steadily growing knee pain?
Apparently knee pain is related to poor kidneys, which is related to low dopamine, which ties back to my poor focus...
It probably ties back into excess estrogen/too little progesterone, but not really sure what else I can do to lower estrogen...
