Welcome to NeuroTalk:

If you tested low in zinc eating all that meat, I'd consider
pyroluria for you. This is a genetic disorder where zinc and B6 get complexed by kryptopyrroles made in excess in the liver.

There is urine testing for it, if you choose. But adding in P5P activated B6 may be helpful for you. Low B6 causes neuropathy.
This is one brand, but there are others. Not commonly found locally but easier to get online:

Also that 4th toe.... that is a prime location for a neuroma.
I'd go to a good podiatrist and have your foot pain evaluated.

And also, when women have babies, the fetus takes alot of Omega-3 fatty acids from the mother to make its brain. So the mother may be low in DHA for a long time. Taking some fish oil or krill oil will provide this to help replenish you. All that exercise also puts a burden on B6 levels which muscles use, and a need for the fatty acids.

People with chronic Candida also do well on thiamine B1 or the newer Benfotiamine. This is because the Candida dumps its metabolic byproducts in your system, which are difficult to get rid of. So 300mg a day of Benfotiamine will show improvements for you if this is your problem, within an month or so. You can do the cheaper thiamine at 100mg 3 times a day, if you choose. Some people don't like the "odor" this can cause but others don't mind it. Regular thiamine is about 1/2 the cost of the Benfotiamine.

Muscles low in B6 will complain. Also magnesium is necessary for normal metabolism, and since most Americans are low in this, and you eat a diet that may not provide enough, taking some SlowMag may help. Try taking baths in epsom salts (6oz to a bathtub with LUKEWARM water), and see it that helps. If it does, then oral SlowMag twice a day is a good way to get the magnesium you need. Beans of all types and nuts are good providers of it.
