  • Diet has a huge impact on the brain and mood.

    There is lots of research coming out on the metabolic brain connection, basically try a well formulated ketogenic diet for a few weeks and see if you feel better, keep a daily mood journal!. Many, many, many people do, especially around anxiety symptoms. See the metabolic mind organization for the current research results.

    One warning if your taking medication: changing your metabolism can make medicine much stronger then anticipated, so work with your doctor to modify prescriptions as needed.

    Money by itself is nothing, it’s an idea. It’s a shared idea that makes it useful. Just like gold, most people don’t have a good use for gold, but because people think it’s rare, enough people will trade for it.

    I recommend reading the book - debt the first 5,000 years. It has lots of good perspective on the concept of money, trade, debt, the manifestation of transactional relationships

    Again, money by itself does not make you happy, it can be traded for food, shelter, security, health, which are often associated with happiness. So the application of money can create an environment for happiness, but that’s not because of money, that’s because of the people at the end of the money transaction

    Consider any of the previous examples of hyperinflation, people have tremendous amounts of money, but it’s not useful to them at all. So money is not everything




  • meet the general scientific consensus?

    sees a lot of conflicting nutrition and medical info

    You can’t have one without the other. Nutritional research is severely lacking in the literature. any of the cited studies that make the vast bulk of the scientific flotilla are just observational epidemiology… Which is very noisy.

    I’ve done a bunch of reading, a massive amount really, and the only thing everyone agrees about is processed foods are bad… Except not all processed foods (the ones that further some other agenda)

    Pick your flavor of opinion and people can suggest good creators in that vertical.

    • whole foods only direct from a farm, no processing at all
    • vegan
    • whole food vegan
    • Paleo
    • minimally processed foods
    • low fat
    • ketogenic

    Personally - After all my reading I’ve settled on keto/carnivore, but to say there isn’t consensus is a understatement. There are many people who make their diet their identify and feel personally attacked if you eat differently than them. The best thing I can say for keto is their evidence is consistent, lines up across domains, and individuals following it see immediate improvements in their health metrics

    I can recommend the low carb down under YouTube channel for medical lectures on the keto, very clear about the quality and limitations of their evidence.
