How it works

Reduces circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) that directly cause fatigue and cognitive impairment. Mediterranean diet is the best-researched template.

No single protocol — key principles: more oily fish, nuts, vegetables, olive oil; less sugar, seed oils, ultra-processed food. Work with a registered dietitian if making major changes.

Why limited evidence

Indirect evidence from inflammation research and ME/CFS studies. Mediterranean diet reduces inflammatory markers with consistent evidence but few RCTs specifically targeting chronic fatigue.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
