Sounds like you have bacterial overgrowth, from all your symptoms and rules. Maybe incorporate some anti-bacterials, most effective one being iodineTo achieve that state, in my personal experience, I have to be very careful with my diet and to eat enormous quantities of sugar with low fat, which is not the most appetizing meal. Due to high stress in my childhood, I developed a body who can´t oxidize properly glucose, so now I have to put more effort to it.
Now if I get over 60g of fat, I get a bit tired and my baseline level of dopamine decreases. What helps are B vitamins, but you know, I can't take them all my life.
Another very important thing is to avoid dairy, wheat and all kind of grains, even starch. These foods make me sluggish and aphathethic all the time.
Before descovering these things, I knew that I had a cortisol issue so I started taking progesterone which helped me a lot. My sleep quality didn't improve, even if my cortisol was low, that's mostly because my blood sugar was all time low during the night and I didn't know that I need at least 150g of carbs before going to sleep. Good thing about progesterone is that made my life easier, my brain function was faster, concentration improved dramatically and dissociation dissapeared.
To get that high dopamine, energy, motivation and low inflamation I have to follow these rules, which are not easy:
1. My source of carbs are from Jam, Honey and Sucrose. I can't starch. The thing is that I can´t mix them with milk, so I have to eat them without nothing, that´s why it´s important to get high quality gem.
2. Eat every 1-2 hours. I always have to keep a cherry jar with me.
3. Limit amount of fat to 50g. My carb intake is above 350g, for optimal results I usually go around 450g. Protein at least 100g.
4. 2 tablespoons of sugar in my coffee are not enough, I still get stress reaction. Usually half jar of gem is enough with a coffee. If I don't follow this rule, I get insomnia.
5. To get the required amount of calcium I have to drink 2 liters of carbonated water, which contain 700 mg and some suplimentation.
