Hello.
I would like to begin implementing diet and health protocols, but am unsure of where to start. The amount of information in relation to this field of study is quite overwhelming sometimes, and it can get confusing trying to figure out best ways to optimize health and psyche. I was thinking of just diving into a ketogenic diet or relatively high fat/low carb diet as the primary focus, but obviously there are so many other unknown factors that play a role in optimum health, like food sensitivities, right kinds of supplementation, inflammation, nutrition factors, gut health, etc., the list goes on. There's a lot going on, and I've never really gave much thought to diet and health, so I have no idea what it is like to follow a strict health protocol.
My primary goal is to have a sharper mind after many years spent in addiction. I have a tough time remembering what I've read and understanding complex ideas, am a slow reader, have problems with attention and concentration, and other problems relating to the psyche. So far, I've completely eliminated sugar, gluten, cut down on the carbs, and trying to eat healthier. I've noticed some improvements in my thinking. I ordered a comprehensive blood panel from my primary care physician a couple months back but haven't showed the results to any functional medicine doctors yet. I'm planning on going full keto for awhile, but was wondering if I should be doing something else before that, like taking a food sensitivity test or talking to a functional medicine doctor, etc. I am on a budget, so can't do too many things simultaneously, so have to to address different issues step by step.
So you can see I am having trouble managing all this information relating to diet and health and could use some assistance.
Thanks for reading.
