What inspired me to write this article is overall reductionism when it comes to mental function. Far too many people want to focus on specific neurotransmitters and blame certain ones for certain conditions (e.g. low dopamine in anhedonia), but health as a whole started to deteriorate first, and anhedonia is just a symptom. One of the first things to go wrong is proper energy production. Once that goes down, neurotransmitter dysregulation starts to occur, and mental conditions are developed. If you just focus on the basics first, then focusing on a specific system might not even be necessary.
I've had many guys tell me that their cognition and mental conditions improved a lot just from eating more carbs. Adding in certain supplements to support proper energy production can enhance cognitive function even more since it "fills up a pothole" so to speak.
Part 1 of this series is about the importance of carb intake, part 2 about thyroid and part 3 about solutions to restore dysfunctional energy production.
Let me know what you guys think.
