It's been a rough week...
February has not been the best month for me. I have been feeling super rundown and exhausted. In today's video I talk about what's been going on and how I am dealing with this.

Thank you for being honest and sharing when you are not 100 percent happy, happy. I'm feeling like a failure this week and I'm still on all my mental health meds. Every carnivore success story talks about getting off all of their meds. I got off all diabetes, triglyceride meds. I was exercising and life in general seemed going in the right direction. Then an EKG caught an AFIB episode last summer and gee, snap of the fingers my doc took me off ADHD meds and reduced depression meds, no tapering, 11 years stable ...."let's just change it up", and threw me into four months of instability and I still feel effected.

Hello! Yea, mental health meds take some time to come off of. That's wild your doc didnt taper. I havent been on meds for over a decade, but I know when I was coming off of them it took a few years to feel "normal," if I ever really feel normal LOL. It takes a long time for the body to heal, so dont feel disheartened. And sometimes meds are really helpful and its better to stay on them❤

Yeah living where there’s snow and cold weather and in February takes its toll. Waiting for spring and warm weather. I have been carnivore for over a year going on 2 and yesterday I messed up because of Valentine’s Day. Exercise especially weight training helps. For now home made carnivore chili with real beef broth, pork rinds, grass-fed hamburger and goat cheese and bacon. We all need downtime from time to time. As always your challenge on the carnivore journey is very encouraging and inspiring.

Sounds like your body is telling you to slow down and you're listening. Rest, relax, and recoup. The body goes in cycles and sometimes daily routines can become daunting. It's just like groundhog day and the body says "that's enough." The other day I was so exhausted all day and had trouble keeping my eyes open. It was a weird day. I passed out at 8 pm and woke up at 3 am like a new man. I'm one of those people that looks into things that affect our body and geometric storms can lower your tolerances to physical and mental stress. I small solar flare can disrupt the aura and cause all kinds of side effects. I know, I know...I'll take off my tinfoil hat now. 😅

Kudos to you. We’re on this journey for different reasons, and i value your content. (And try to say so often. We all need the love). AN IDEA re comments etc. i used to use a scraper to pull all comments from my various sites into one bucket. Some sites let me do it with RSS and others needed a human to copy paste. I used a tasking site to get the human to copy paste. So once a week it would all be aggregated and a different tasker would flag things to respond to and insights. Sometimes the negative comments have a good idea buried and it can be challenging to get past the “sounds cranky”. The tasker would just grab the insights. So the top few pages would have insights and the rest of the doc would be the full pull. Some weeks i did not get past the insights. Bold weeks i might. Having all of that in a doc also kinda desensitized the situation. Not completely but enough. ❤❤

Jenny, doing social media for past 6 years and now doing it full time for past 3 years. Bad comments is a sign your audience is growing, and 95% of good people never leave a comment. It a video does good you get the worst people of the internet leaving comments. Just ignore them. Don’t worry, you are doing great 👍 Eventually your skin gets thicker and you don’t care as much. You will be amazed once you start meeting fans on a street and all those people who never left a comment. Just look at the likes, those are the people who really enjoyed the video and never left a comment most of the times. Hope this helps 😊

Have you tried limiting your protein intake to 1gxlb of ideal body weight and keep the protein/fat ration to 1g/2g? People who were doing badly with carbs usually get insulin spikes from high protein diets after they lean out. It might take some time before your body will start to handle high protein correctly.

@@aprilhassell1747 Hi, Yes, so extreme hunger is a symptom you can experience during perimenopause. I'm 52 and just started dealing with perimenopause about a year ago. I started with some hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, mild weight gain, mild insomnia, some heart palpitations, mild hair loss, and my cycles started to shorten, which happens first. I skipped only one period last summer, otherwise, I am still getting monthly periods, but now the cycles are starting to get longer so like 40 days. There's a ton of crazy symptoms that you can experience during this time. I found a natural hormone supplement which seems to be helping quite a bit, so a lot of these symptoms seem to be leveling off now. I'm fortunate though, because most women start suffering in their 40's and I only just started last year at age 51, but that's because I've worked so hard at making health and nutrition a priority for most of my life, and now recently I'm transitioning into carnivore.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been out of it, hopefully you recover soon. If I may just leave you with some suggestions to try out, just to eliminate any unknown factors. Have you tried eating some liver? Liver always bumps me up, and I don't crave it at all, I have to force myself to eat it. But once I do, I feel good again. My second idea, honestly a bit hesitant to say this, but maybe fruit? Just good old natural fruit. I think Saladino might be on to something. And finally, check if your Boron levels are good. That's all I can really think of: 1. Liver 2. Fruit 3. Boron Carnivore is not supposed to make you feel tired or sleepy or hungry (it's all meat, how can you be feeling hunger?). Get plenty of rest as well! Fingers crossed for some good news next time you upload! Take care!

Why not try adding a salad or/and a fruit bowl to your daily meals and see if that helps, if not, then just go back to carnivore. Also magnesium and potassium can play a role in fatigue, so although you're taking electrolyte supplements, the best way to get your potassium for example would be through whole fruits and vegetables. According to UK government guidelines, the recommended daily intake of potassium for women is approximately 3500mg per day. Although the recommendations are going to vary depending where you live I guess🙂

I attempted a 36 hour fast the 3rd going into the 4th, made it 23 hours, and then I had to eat because I had a bit of a meltdown after the steam room and cold plunge at the gym. Havent fasted since then

I just started the Carnivore diet 3 weeks ago and I feel like that now!! Trying to figure out what is out of balance, sleep, there is never enough. My normal, my entire life, I was always up by 6am, now I can sleep until 8-8:30 and still feel sluggish. any advise? I assume it will pass and I will eventually begin to feel better.

Question. On carnivore, should we try to only eat beef. I eat a lot of pork belly and pork shoulder. ? 8:34

Hello! Yes, pork is 100% allowed.
I was also feeling this way and I’m in the Chicagoland area. Checked my vitamin D and it was low normal. 10000 IU daily with a meal and I’m feeling better after two weeks. I also noticed I’m more tired if I eat too much dairy the day before. Just a thought… Also, I got rid of my tmj after 20 years when I quit caffeine. I used to wake up with headaches, crack my teeth, have constant pain, ear fullness and scalp pain. Decaf only now and got off my SSRI too. Took me a year to quit caffeine and 3 months to quit the SSRI. Jaw clenching is a side effect no one remembers to mention to patients. Hope you find a solution! Thanks for putting out great carnivore content Jenny!

Thank you so much! Yea, dairy messes me up too. I've been off of caffeine for years unfortunately. I have heard that botox in the jaw can be really helpful, but it only flares up when I'm really stressed.

@@JennyMitich Oh wow good job on the caffeine. That was hard for me. Botox was the only thing that previously ever worked for me but there’s potential for bone loss so I stopped. Maybe try some gua sha. A little self care time and massaging those muscles might give some relief. Great videos on gua sha on KZread 😉!

Jenny, do you have any trauma in your past? Sometimes when I hit these odd times, I do a bit of inventory to see of something is going on emotionally and as a trauma survivor myself, I have found that left unreleased, trauma can wreak havoc on health (adrenals, immune system, etc).

Jenny- just a suggestion. Are you eating enough to sustain your hormones and metabolism. A slowed metabolism zaps your energy. I am T2D and was doing regular extended fasting, when I had a back injury. I was not able to exercise for 4 months, my blood glucose went sky high, I ate less in an attempt to get the blood sugar down, I lost muscle, I am sure my metabolism dropped. No energy to get back into exercise. It was a vicious circle.

That could be a possibility! My glucose levels have been their normal 80s though, I think I am just burned out from work stuff.
Winter is melatonin time. Sleep, rejuvenation. I don’t know how you do that with young kids! 🤪 So congratulations. Alternatively, there’s a lot of industrial poison in the environment. Plus the geopolitical insanity, the political insanity, the medical insanity - it’s all really heavy.

You need to up your fat intake temporarily. The extra fat will give you more energy and fill you up more.

Have u looked into SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)? I know you said that it has been "sunnier" than usual in your area, AND you live in a northern latitude so the ANGLE of the sunlight could be a factor. And, MOST importantly, be compassionate to wherever you are! (You SURE youre NOT pregnant, right??!!😉) Thanks for your openness & honesty... ❤

I need to take a cheap vacation that you can get down to the sunnier, warmer states or maybe even a cheap flight deal to Mexico, Baja in Nevada or Arizona for three or four days. Get on a train to the warmer climates with sun. That’s what you need. Amtrak always has deals and if you blonde a AAA, they have some great deals. I know that Google travel has some great inexpensive deals to get to the sun of your states or sunny or countries they can go for a few days. Just remember that the day that you travel is considered the first day of your mini day trip. Have some fun!

definitely agree with resting whenever you need it and im not aware of your current diet/routine, but could you be fasting too nuch? or just not eating enough calories? not sure if youre still tracking meals. they always say it's not great for women to fast as much as men 🤔

@@JennyMitich gotcha! yes I know fasting can be great for some women though so it's all hit or miss.

Make sure your Vitamin D is up your in an area where that is likely low.

Jaw clinching? Is it an anxiety on your life or could it be evidence of parasites? Parasites are extremely common especially those who consume certain animal foods that are more prone to carrying parasites. I’m praying for you. God bless no stress. Prayer helps me most times.
