The Normie Diet

I’m not a diet guru or fitness expert. I’m a PhD candidate studying the relationship between stress and addiction, but I did cut my scientific teeth on literature about nutrition and its (often surprising) influence on the mind. I’ve spent a lot of time applying what I’ve learned in different ways – running the dietary gamut from vegetarian, to vegan, to paleo, to keto. But in the process, it felt like I lost twenty of my precious-few IQ points trying to keep on top of it all. (Or maybe it was just hypoglycemia.) Now, I’m normal.
