Food-first notes
Nutritional yeast
B1, B3, and B5 are often discussed for keto-adaptation, nerves, and stress load. Yeast is the tasty way there.
Marine omega-3
Cools joints, supports brain and skin, balances the omega-6 load of modern food.
Magnesium glycinate
Sleep, cramps, and vitamin D activation. Oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed for many.
Cook
BreakfastSardine & cucumber plate
The two-minute omega-3 breakfast people skip because it is not Instagram. It works.
BreakfastSage & avocado omelette
Three yolks, a ripe avocado, and wilted spinach — choline and potassium before noon.
MainsHerb-butter salmon & asparagus
Omega-3 on a sheet pan. A simple fish-and-greens dinner.
Neuropathy has many causes. Numbness with diabetes or after chemo belongs in a clinic, not a blog stack. Educational only — not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
