Hi,
Very similar journey to a lot of people... minor and major health problems in early 20s leading me from gluten free to grain free to paleo to keto... all with initial improvements before crashing and burning.
Main struggles were depression/anxiety, insomnia, "IBS", Dental decay (which got WORSE when i stopped eating sugar, !!!!!), cartilage degradation... psoriasis etc etc. Been on SSRIs, some new thing called Valdoxan which wasn't too bad, been doped up for six months on Temazepam and Propranolol, done keto, failed, done paleo, failed, tried Jack Kruse stuff, made me depressed and decided I'd have to give up my life and live in a cave... gave up an ignored my health for a while...
And then I went to see an Osteopath (I'd been seeing his colleague for actual injuries) expecting to be prescribed a leptin reset, cold baths and raw beef... only to be told to drink orange juice with gelatin, and eat all da cheeze. Which lead me to question a few things... for which he prescribed the wonderful Danny Roddy podcasts, especially his chats with Georgie...
For a few days I felt guilt every time I drank juice (fructose the devil) and horror at the thought of icecream, with all that unnatural dairy and sugar.... But I'm here two weeks later and with my Stressnon, and a few other calming tools and plenty of raw carrot i am less bloated and more relaxed a long time.
I'm still worried about weight gain, and pimples., and cavities but i understand my poor thyroid has been very sad and my metabolism is that of a hibernating naked mole rat, and I'm hoping to find a more sustainable life and finally not horrify my fiance with my icicle hands and feet every night!
Love to have a chat with some Aussies (or anyone else) who is feeling better or has advice for good cheese or lamb shank recipes! Good health and metabolism to everyone!
