1-3pm or 3-5pm fatigue?

This sounds similar to what I was experiencing. It was like after eating lunch my body decided it had no energy at all. I read up a bit on Dr Lams website and it suggested that severe fatigue at this time of the day was metabolism related, and that you really need a good, experienced naturopath or holistic doctor guiding you to avoid the crashes.

I had a lot of problems with anxiety too, my panic attacks were increasing the more I went on treating AF, until after a few months I had a severe crash where I couldn’t get out of bed for 3-4 days. But my anxiety disappeared and was replaced with mild depression. I decided the anxiety must be linked to my energy problems.

Anyway, I tired a new naturopath who got me tested for pyroluria and it came back with a positive result. The thing with pyroluria is it blocks the nerve receptors from absorbing zinc and vit B6. This causes problems with energy production that then puts increased load on your adrenals to generate energy, until they burn out.

Anxiety and feelings of not being able to cope are also common as the nervous system is unable to process stress, it heads straight to the only working response left, fight or flight.

A few give aways for this problem are white spots under the finder nails (I’d get one small dot come up once every few weeks) skin rashes and dry sores in the corner of the mouth. I had heaps of others too, like eye infections and mouth ulcers that wouldn’t heal.
