I just started my sourdough starter at the end of October. I quickly learned like you when you half the starter it continues to gain more in the container. I started only leaving a 1/4-1/3 and that helped with keeping the starter in the mason jar.
I’m new to sourdough so not certain, but I think the rise you get early in the process is mostly from bacteria, it takes a bit longer for the yeast to get established. You may get to a stage where it seems “dead” Day 4-6) at which point the bacteria has been slowed down and the yeast will then start to properly colonize. By day 7-10 is when I’ve usually got a reliably active starter. BUT again, I’m new to this so I could be completely wrong 😅
My mom took Coq10 years ago when she was having heart trouble. She also took magnesium and potassium. After a few months the doctor couldn't tell there had been a problem. I am not a doctor and not trying to diagnose just sharing what she did and she was much older than you.

Exactly what I began doing!

Look up on RUclips...No discard sourdough starter. Much easier. No waste.
you can half the recipe and it won;t have so much wasted
I would think if its rising up its good for cooking.
I really wasn’t sure! lol I discarded it into my compost so at least it’s getting some use

I appreciate the information! I may have to look into the Coq10 as well! My troubles are far from gone but seem to be getting better
I do hope it all works out for the best.@@LeadaQuietLlife
You confused me even more 😂
I feel dumb for not realizing you can make a second starter from the first’s discard, makes me feel slightly less awful about the waste haha
Why do you need two starters?
