Three simple recommendations:

1. Take a good Vitamin C supplement. 1,000mg per day is fine. You can't overdose on it.
Vitamin C is important for robust cell wall formation. Your body is constantly making billions of replacement cells and cell wall integrity is important.  Have seen end of day "exhaustion modes" subside with this simple treatment.

2. Take (2) Aspirin per day.  It's actually an herb prevalent in nature and has many upsides (Cardiovascular health, lowers stroke and heart attack risk significantly).  Lowers cancer risks (18 different cancer types docuмented) and stops cancer from spreading.  On a practical level it stops general inflammation and lowers blood viscosity.  Recommend chewing the tablets up or dissolving them in water instead of taking them whole to avoid stomach lining irritation.

3. Get a minimum of 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day. Recent studies suggest less sleep than this leads to poor mental efficiency. In other words, you are struggling all day until you catch-up on your sleep debt.
Whoa.  Stop taking daily aspirin.  It’ll destroy your liver.  It’s not an herb.  It’s a drug.

Ah i see the issue, no carbs = no energy. Not sure why people think carbs is a bad thing, i eat plenty of carbs and have zero issues with my weight.
Keto works great for some people.  For others, they have no energy.  Carbs are not bad.  No one got fat eating veggies and fruits.  The diet described earlier is way too much fat.

Thank you very much for the advice. We do consume a ton of red meat (we purchase 40-45 pounds per month approximately), we are keto and eat lots of eggs, cheese, cultured cream, ghee and fish. Someone saw our car filled with eggs around Easter and thought we were buying a lot for some Easter egg painting project, lol.

To merely maintain his weight, he has to consume 2-3 cups per day of cultured cream along with lots of animal protein. No one can tell us why we both cannot absorb our food properly. I am hoping some probiotics will help us with that. The only supplements our bodies respond decently to are whole food based, but they do not get us to a place of recovery. We get regular bloodwork and no signs of cancer ever show, we have also had CT scans and other tests that showed some inflammation in our colons, but not enough for conventional doctors to be concerned about. I did get appendicitis three times, the third time the doctor ordered a CT scan (I did not have the typical symptoms so had no idea what it was). The doctor said my fasting starved the bad bacteria the first two times, thanks be to God I was doing intermittent fasting.

My mother greatly limited her fats during her pregnancy with me, and to this day I require bile salts to be able to process and absorb fat I consume. I was also poisoned as a child, which did a number on my liver. My husband's mother was probably on birth control for many years before conceiving him, so we both think that these factors and other poor dietary decisions both of our mothers made, may have caused us to have compromised health.
Keto is only for short term.  Paleo is long term.  Your body needs carbs for all kinds of hormones and energy production.  There was no time in history where mankind ate as much protein as modern man.

Thank you to everyone for responding with their own unique advice, it is much appreciated, there were many great suggestions. Again, I will respond to everyone here to ensure organization. Forgive me if I do not address something. 

Our sleep quality is poor, we do not feel like rest is actually rest.

I have learned that most of the health recommendations out there assume one has a certain baseline of health to work with; it is assumed stomach acid is strong enough to breakdown protein and absorb minerals, the gut can handle fibre, bile can be produced, the gut can produce vitamins on its own, the microbiome only needs to be "fed" (prebiotics + probiotics) and not entirely rejuvenated, etc. We do not have this baseline, and are taking supplements to assist with these functions. They do help a little, but it seems they should be doing much more. Our state seems to resemble that of people who are starving.

The liver can and does convert protein and fat to glucose. For many people, whole food carbohydrates, fibre, plant chemicals (oxalates, phytic acid, lectins), even prepared properly are a significant issue. We are some of those people, and junk food and non-organic food gives us new, debilitating symptoms. I would be happy to live on bread and water if I could. 

We are keto because of problems from carbohydrates. Many issues have actually been resolved being keto/carnivore, but others have not. There are some people who can only, in truth, literally survive or do well eating this way. We have received the highest quality and most detailed testing, and it does show many issues that were mentioned by FarmerWife, but the programs recommended by these physicians do not work. Our main problem is our bodies simply do not break down and absorb food or supplements like most people (our testing showed this), and we have yet to be told why. God has to bless the food and remedies for them to work. Various saints had to be resigned to the fact that God willed them to suffer instead of become well.

While health suggestions are valued by each and every one of you, our bodily state is much more complicated and I apologize for not making this clear earlier, I was not expecting the conversation to take this particular turn. My question was originally how, as a wife, can I help my husband to bear his cross better. I know men are different than women, and they need certain words said and actions done differently than a woman needs. Some of you suggested giving more space or spending more time if either are applicable, and that is kind of you and I thank you, I will keep that in mind. The thing it seems he needs the most is for me to say the right thing that brings calm, because he repeatedly "rants" to me and I don't believe what I have said so far has helped as much as it could.

Possible to have him come on cathinfo to talk to some of the men and other fathers himself?
