you sound like you have extremely high insulin sensitivity if you crash right after a meal. As PEAT says low iron can cause high insulin sensitivity
how is your iron levels?
what color is your poo, any black stools? intestinal bleeding can lead to iron lo
are you fat or thin? belly fat? fat thighs? or muscle and bulk?
do you do CARDIO?
do you breath through your nose or your mouth? breathing through the nose increases Nitrous Oxide.
do you wear glasses (high serotonin leads to myopia)
any allergies? hives?
some of what you have said in all your post points to adrenal issues also since the adrenals make a lot of hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, Testosterone etc.
from what I've read in my journey is that if you have high insulin you could have low or weak adrenals and if your adrenals.
A lot of your post seems spot on. Here are my answers:
I thought maybe my iron levels might be a little low since Peats diet is about minimizing iron and someone commented leg cramps I sometimes had around that time could be due to low iron or low magnesium. I tried an iron supplement one time but I thought it would go against Peat so I stopped.
I am naturally very, very thin but over the years of weight training and increasing my calories I build up a good amount of muscle mass and recently my bodyweight was nearly 200 pound with lots of muscle and still pretty lean.
I don't do cardio.
I don't wear glasses but I have light myopia which was diagnosed and completely hit me by surprise. I remember reading one of Ray's articles that said something about the retina weakening due to PUFAs or something and it was describing me perfectly.
No allergies that I know of.
There is definitely something about adrenal function since I just noticed how my body seems to be in a constant state of hypertension and stress and after meals it gets even worse and my heart rate increases very much.
