- 04Evening magnesium glycinate if your clinician agrees.
- 05Log meals and sleep. Patterns beat superstition.
Eat
- Pumpkin seeds

Skip

- Alcohol
- Skipping meals then bingeing
Food-first notes
Magnesium glycinate
Sleep, cramps, and vitamin D activation. Oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed for many.
Electrolyte powder
The first stack in almost every Healthy Keto protocol. Replaces what the kidneys dump when insulin falls.
Marine omega-3
Cools joints, supports brain and skin, balances the omega-6 load of modern food.
Cook
SidesOlive-oil creamed spinach
The potassium side. Creamed with olive oil and a spoon of mascarpone or coconut cream.
MainsHerb-butter salmon & asparagus
Omega-3 on a sheet pan. A simple fish-and-greens dinner.
SoupsGinger bone broth
The fasting-window mug. Sodium, minerals, and a calm stomach.
BreakfastSage & avocado omelette
Three yolks, a ripe avocado, and wilted spinach — choline and potassium before noon.
A sudden ‘worst headache of my life’, weakness, or vision loss is 911 — not a pumpkin seed. Educational only — not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
