So I'm a hypothyroid. My Basal Metabolic Rate (MBR) is very low and now I've been suffering adrenaline and prolactin rush. So my hair falls out like crazy accompanied with headache. Also, my heart pounds fast and hard and sometimes I feel chest pain in heart area. Oh yeah, did I mention anxiety, fight-or-flight sensations and panic attack all day? Seems like cortisol is off the roof, too.
This is all thanks to overdosing preg and DHEA for a week. On one hand, it's a blessing to know my health problem. On the other hand, hair is falling out like crazy it's freaking me out! Must stop prolactin now ! And the anxiety sensation doesn't help, either. The anxiety and fast heartbeat are so overbearing that it's difficult to think positive and to be stress free all-day.
So upon some reading, it seems that I may have also have adrenal fatigue due to high prolactin, adrenaline and cortisol. Since the first priority is to stop hair shed, I have to lower prolactin hence fix adrenal fatigue ASAP
Kineticz recommended me to take thyroid supplement (most likely T3). But after reading tons of threads regarding thyroid supplement alongside its trial and error, I'd prefer if it's possible to fix hypo and adrenal fatigue via food instead. I'd rather eat the food and let the body decides the ratio and how much nutrient it needs rather than micro-managing supplement intake (apparently didn't work so well on DHEA and pregnenolone).
This is my current daily Peat diet. I eat between upper 2000 to mid 3000 calories. Any suggestions for hypo and adrenal fatigue fix? Aka PROLACTIN-ADRENALINE-TERMINATOR
- Orange juice (lots of it)
- Grass fed butter (to cook with)
- Coffee + raw Cacao powder + Milk + Raw Honey
- Matcha tea + Raw Honey
- Carrots + Coconut Oil + distilled white vinegar
- Oysters
- Grass-fed beef liver (1lbs total per week, spread by 2 days per week consumption)
- Free-range, soy-free Duck eggs
- Grass feed beef meat
- Bone broth
- Salt
- Coconut oil
- Raw honey (lots)
- Baking soda
- Egg shell powder
Supplements: vitamin A, B1, B2, Niacinamide, D3, E, K2, Zinc
Anything to add/increase/reduce/delete? I also need to exercise a little more to increase MBR and spread the meal to 5-6 times a day to help reduce cortisol and adrenaline. But any other tips/suggestion is appreciated!
BTW, is it possible to substitute caffeine completely with raw cacao powder? I read around about its controversy in coffee inducing adrenal fatigue, and I wonder if that's true or not. Because whenever I drink coffee + milk + raw honey + cacao, I always get nervous, jittery, and heart beating fast. Especially matcha tea + honey
And there are some claims that liquid-dominant diet (Peaty with lots of OJ) cause adrenal fatigue? Is it true or not?
