A few!

First, keto. Not for the weightloss (although that happened, 45 lbs down and holding there 4 years in), but for the incredible way it made me feel. All my back and knee pain was gone, brain fog cleared, energy levels shot up, high blood pressure episodes went away. It was amazing

Second, electrolytes. Especially on keto but really so many folks are dehydrated and water alone doesn’t always help. It’s super cheap to make your own electrolyte powder with a 2:1 mix of Natural Calm magnesium and Morton’s lite salt (sodium and potassium). Put a teaspoon in a big glass of water with mio lemonade and it will fix headaches, hunger crankiness, and hangovers.

Third, drinking. I took a break and never went back. It was adding nothing to my life, and I’m so glad to be clear of it.

Fourth, taurine supplements. Im in my early forties and this popped my energy back up - I no longer feel wiped and low energy after a day of work/kids. I have time and vigor for projects or whatever else strikes me. It’s also been studied as a longevity enhancement and increases both healthspan and lifespan in test animals. It’s an amino acid we produce less of as we age, and supplementing it helped me.
