Key takeaways
 * Synthetic nootropics often trigger short-term reactions & deplete vital nutrients like magnesium over time
 * Magnesium & other minerals play a critical role in brain energy & function, yet most people remain deficient
 * Extreme therapies like saunas or cold plunges drain essential minerals, leading to hidden side effects
 * Each brain cell holds up to 2 million mitochondria, making proper nutrition essential for brain energy
 * Regular blood tests fail to show true magnesium status, since most magnesium resides in cells & bones
 * Too much calcium with too little magnesium makes bones brittle rather than stronger
 * Most fish oil supplements undergo heavy processing, oxidize easily & often cause harm while algae-based omega-3 offers a safer option
 * High doses of vitamin C support collagen, bone & artery strength far beyond the minimal RDA
 * Mega-dosing one nutrient (like iodine or zinc) throws off balance & depletes others your body needs
 * Food-based, methylated B vitamins support mental health & epigenetics better than high-dose synthetics

Key takeaways
 * Ancient practices like Ayurveda prove many modern trends wrong because nature figured out health rhythms long ago
 * Matching diet to the season prevents deficiencies & toxicities, supporting immunity, digestion & overall health
 * Wheat & other whole foods aren’t “bad”. If digestion struggles, the issue is usually your gut, not the food
 * Struggling with foods? Digestion is likely the issue & low stomach acid & poor bile flow are common culprits
 * Syncing daily routine with natural light cycles boosts energy, sleep & metabolic health
 * Walking after meals lowers blood sugar, aids digestion & reduces heart disease risk
 * Calm, present mealtime habits support proper breakdown & use of food because rushed eating harms digestion
 * Eating seasonally & enjoying fresh, local foods supports gut health & microbiome diversity
 * Adjusting lifestyle by dosha & season keeps the body balanced & thriving
