SelfHacked

I strictly followed the Lectin Avoidance Diet. I bought an Instant Pot pressure cooker and a juicer to get me lots of high quality protiens and non-inflammatory plant foods with minimal prep time. Some (but not all) of my inflammation and brain fog was caused my lectin sensitivity and food intolerances. It's very hard to "go wrong" and feel worse from something you are eating on this diet.</p>
<p>
I tried to determine if my immune system was Th1 or Th2 dominant, and experimented with a number of supplements recommended in the Th1 tips or Th2 tips articles. Some worked great to take my inflammation down -- some didn't. (click link above for more on Th1 and Th2).</p>
<p>
I strictly keep a circadian rhythm - wake with the sun, wind down & go to bed shortly after dark, block out all kinds of blue light at night. I follow the same sleep schedule 7 days a week - with no non-emergency exceptions. It's challenging to keep this schedule because none of my friends or social events do. But the benefits are worth it.</p>
<p>
I take mitochondial boosting supplements & antioxidants which are listed in the Protocol to Cure Chronic Fatigue. I only take some of these. They helped a lot with energy.</p>
<p>
I get sun twice a day. I'm on a regular, gentle exercise program. I track my workouts with an iPhone app and log my calories / carbs / fat / protein intake daily. The sun gives me real vitamin D and exercise literally builds new mitochondria.</p>
