There is a lot more nuance in the article that is certainly worth looking at and considering and while I hear your annoyance with the long article I think going to the effort to write a long and informative article like this is commendable in some ways. I'll grant it's not a perfect article in many ways though. Nonetheless I wanted to share a bit more of what I learned from it for others.

More from the article

(Plus my takes after studying a bit of nutrition.)

  • Reduce your sugar intake.

(Personally, I'd clarify that to processessed sugars, as fruit is quite good for you, not juice though, you need that fiber.)

  • The doctor recommended a Multivitamin and an omega 3 pill. They said it's better to get them through diet but supplements can be useful as a backup.

(I'd recommend a vegan omega 3 as otherwise you're likely to get a dose of mercury with your omega 3 every day).

  • The B-vitamins they focused on was b-12, 6 and folate.

Habit recommendations

  • They recommended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy [CBT.]

(I have had some success with the app "Feeling Great" but a therapist is certainly preferred over an app if you can.)

  • Mindful eating - Try no screens, or as slow as you can eat for the first few bites.

  • Eating schedule - setting reminders on your phone for when to eat can help you create a good and consistent eating schedule.

Why use many word when few word do? Know your audience (not you, the author). He's painting a rainbow for the color blind. I'll respect it that much.

But algae based is better. Flax is less good. That's ALA and it's proposed that we ADHD folk have trouble converting ALA.

Uh oh. Hope you're prepared for the consequences of copying and pasting an AI analysis.

They don't take too kindly to that around here.
