I believe I have a copper overload that's contributing to a lot of issues such as adrenal fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, etc. I noticed that after I ate a lot of lamb's liver that I felt immediately tired, and then a few days later after eating kidneys and heart, I've been more and more fatigued. Could this be because of the high levels of copper in organ meat? Would it be better to avoid organ meats for a while until my copper and zinc levels are more balanced? Or would I be losing out on a lot of the benefits of eating organ meats? I personally find them more palatable and digestible than muscle meats.
I also noticed my lips are getting dry and the skin is starting to peel off again. It used to be much worse a few months ago and improved significantly once I started including a lot of animal fats in my diet. The only thing is that I'm finding it difficult to eat enough fat and protein when I'm eating raw. The chewing time alone makes it difficult to eat any quantity of food when it's coming from raw meat. I felt significantly better for a short time when I first started including lamb in my diet and made a bone broth with some meat and fat, as it made it much easier to ingest the fat and improved my appetite.
But now I'm almost 100% certain that the fatigue is coming from copper toxicity, because I just took some colloidal zinc and can feel my brain fog lifting. Which leads back to my original question of should I avoid organ meats for the time being in order to keep myself from becoming even more copper toxic and tired?
Thank you!
