3 years ago i my chaged diet into paleo and it upset all my body methabolism.

I first experienced better management of complex sugars (pasta, etc.), then more and more depression and, in the following months, slow, exhausted metabolism. Now after three years, these symptoms are at their peak and I think it’s because I no longer metabolize sugars properly. For example, after physical activity of any kind I feel light-headed and dizzy. Obviously my stools are always soft and unformed.

I still have all the symtoms i written before. I'm going to try testo gel, as my end suggested. The worst symptoms are lack of strength and depression. Do you have any suggestions on this?

feel free if you have any quiestions.
