I was speaking with my chiropractor, who also happens to be a neurologist, about my wife, who is experiencing some pretty significant symptoms of fatigue. She used to be able to train pretty intensely, but now she struggles to make it through a 45-minute workout. Nothing has really changed other than she delivered my son last September, her diet is a moderately-high protein, moderate carbs and fat diet. She's had it suggested to get her thyroid checked for hyperactivity, as well as chronic fatigue (which runs in her family). My chiro suggested checking her pH, as since she takes in a good amount of protein he thinks it can be making her levels drop toward the acidic end of things. However, we checked mine and it's a 7.0 - right in the middle, and I get between 200-250 grams a day and have for several years. I'm not all that well-versed on the topic, is there any research to back up a correlation between protein consumption and decreased pH levels? Would this explain the potential correlation between high protein diets and decreased kidney function?
