If by(beef liver) you mean every time you eat meat it is beef liver, it could contribute to your sleep worsening and many other bad stuffs, most beef liver i have seen(i have seen alot, including 100% grass fed) are toxic, can worsen your sleep and make you more wired and tired at the same time, i suggest fully stop beef liver., and if you crave meat and do want to eat it replace it with well cooked muscle meat from whatever animal you prefer. Milk can also make you more sensitive to emf and light(liver too for light) so i suggest try all i mentionned in first comment about sleeping in total dark and reducing emf by turning off phone, blutooth/wifi from phone, internet modem and electrical devices and turning off your bedroom electricity on your circuit breaker(it is one button, simple), that can have massive impact for most people aspecially if you drink milk.
Liver and milk can both contribute to slowness and weakness either because of toxicity acxumulation or if it drive defiencies, i dont know where you live but i suggest try very good dattes that are still moist"rotab" is a commun word use to label dattes that are the softest and have the highest degree of moisture
If your liver raw, pre cooking, smell bad, taste bad, and look like the picture below, i suggest never eat it that trashbage again:
-
@user1 the liver I eat is alright. There’s no smell.
I alwats switçh off my phone before trying to sleep. -

-
@user1 yes I sleep in total darkness. By 8pm I wear blue light blocking glasses.
-
@LucH would you advice thyroid t3, like you are hypo?

When did all the symptoms you mentionned started? When did you start milk liver and OJ maxing?

No hormone when at your state. Too soon.
Elza log
Hi,
I can assist you if there is no interference. Only one way possible. Free to agree or not of course, when I make suggestions. If not convinced, say it clearly. I’m rather directional (former teacher).
Open a new log, leave a link here.
Call it sth like “Elza’s log – Sleep Help”.
Of course, you’re going tobe iinformed (links) to understand why it’s advised to do sth.
First task:
Go back 6 months ago. How did you feel: energy, mood, sleep, digestion & transit? Is there an evolution. How intense?
Symptoms on 2 last months.
Separate the facts from the impressions (2 parts). Telegraphic style.
Give your menu for 3 usual common days. Only the food elements. How many meals. Supplements taken for the last 2 weeks.
What’s your activity: work outside / inside, householder with children or not. Time for free activities (read, walk, sport, garden, TV, etc.).
Take time to answer. You can use preceding info already posted.
I repeat:
First informative reading. It takes time.
When I give an internet link, copy the link in your search engine, in order to choose the option with translation. So, do not click on the link (French text, translator needed).
Note there’re 3 main states when suffering from exhaustion and poor sleep. Taking the right molecule at a wrong moment, won’t match. We need enzymes to assimilate and take benefit from the supplements. E.g. if you take 5-HTP too soon, it won’t function; only when stress is under control. Idem if you take it for more than 8-12 weeks. The body must re-learn how to produce serotonin. In short, serotonin is a central regulator of mental and physical well-being, connecting the brain, gut, sleep, and emotions.
Metabolism needs time to relearn how to function without stress, therefore without adrenaline and cortisol. Cortisol disrupts the availability of serotonin. Serotonin depends on its precursor: tryptophan, not available if …We distinguish 3 states of maladjustment
- High state of stress and poor sleep (often awoken between 2 or 4 a.m.).
=> Fundamental principle (to keep in mind): You should never supplement a hormone or a neurotransmitter when the system is still in hyper-adaptation. - Medium state of stress: Inflammation, intestinal microbiome, nutrition, sleep and activity (15’ walk) are more or less possible. Progressive intensity with activities with sufficient recovery periods.
- Consolidation. Idem but with less side-effects. Drive / enthusiasm and pleasure are more present (satisfaction).
NB: Please, do not take RP’s advice into account when suffering from a low metabolism. We don’t eat liver when we’re exhausted, nor drink more than 100 ml oj when suffering from glycemia. Only adapted for a high carburation level.
The key indicator of success (often overlooked):
It's not: mood & energy
It's: the return of healthy tiredness in the evening, and a calm awakening in the morning.
This is a sign that: - daytime serotonin levels are sufficient
- nighttime melatonin levels are being maintained
- regulation is returning to normal
Useful info
- Manage stress, fatigue, anxiety and avoid burnout! (In French. Translator required).

Cortisol has knocked out the body's ability to produce serotonin. Disruption of the serotonin-melatonin cycle. Taking a pill to sleep isn’t going to solve the problem on long term. Fine if only in a protocol. Don’t wait too long. - Collation sucrée et tryptophane (Sweet snack and tryptophan)

NB1: Take time to read and assimilate. Good luck.
NB2: If you don’t understand sth or don’t agree, say it. There will be periods of relapse and periods of discouragement, as well. Logic. - I’ve just downloaded this appli on my phone to practice sophrology: 3 x 3 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing. The belly expands.
09.30’ 04.00’ PM and 8.00’ PM (3 alarms on my phone).
=> Free appli respirelax+
NB: Mind excess pub when on the site. Okay when downloading.
- High state of stress and poor sleep (often awoken between 2 or 4 a.m.).

@user1 I am not maxing on anything. I have liver once à week. All of this started after I started on antipsychotics medication Xeplion. I have insomnia along with constipation, I need a laxatif to go to the loo and my periods are late like weeks, last month it was 2 days with very little blood more like dark spots. I am so desperate and tired. I can’t stop and I have to take it. My Doctor is living this month so everything is complicated. I will have to explain to the new one, once they find him or her.
-
@LucH that’s a lot of work and I am so tored right now. As I szid all of this started with the antipsychotic xeplion. Along with sleep I am as well constipated and didn’t have my periods this month. Its very hard right now for me. I have zero motivation, dont feel like doing anything. This is seriously playing on my moral and energy. I feel stuck and not well.

Ok. Why do you have to take xeplion? Have you tryed not taking it for a few days at least and see if it resolved the sleep issue? Xeplion side effects include insomnia and constipation, you very likely should not take something that cause insomnia and constipation long term and find other ways to fix the reason you took it in first place

I understand. Need time and energy to answer.
2 possibilities:- Not quite convinced by the way you should handle the “problem”. No issue, at this time.
- It could do the job. Take time to manage and come back when you feel it. Cut the answer in several paragraphs:
- Physical symptoms
- Feeling (subjective comment)
- Menu (3 usual days)
Pause - First staple (how to manage) with low energy and mood.
What to do / what to change. - Second staple (hormonal approach + enzymes).
- Last staple (consolidation).

@user1 I have no choice. I have to take it. Its an injection not pills form so I can’t decide to take ut or not. I am tryin to negotiate to reduce the dose.
-
@LucH OK, thanks. I will see. As I said the culprit is the xeplion. I would like advice to diminish the sude effects and survive this. Its just awful.

God be with you. I hope you have your family to take care of you and not let docs do whatever they want to do in term of medications and dosage.
-
@user1 thank you. I am unfortunately quite lonely in trying to get better help. My family see Doctors as authority figure you have to obey. I find myself in a terrible predicament.
