5 days of intense exercise a week is a lot, plus one or two more sessions suggests to me you could be overdoing it.
Your doctor apparently thinks so. If you truly are "overtrained," which will screw up a body physically, you need to cut back. You might consider following your doc's recommendation and see how it works.
Why are you so determined not to reduce your training?
