       Any advice on nutrition or something that help my elderly mom is welcome.  She is is very depressed.  She has almost always experienced some type of depression and been on meds the majority of my life.  She is losing her eyesight (macular degeneration). I know there is likely no foods she could eat to help with that know - she is 90.  I can only do so much with medical stuff and even food due  to family dynamics, but I welcome any thing I can do to help her like a smoothie or juicing or similar if anyone has any thoughts.  She has  thyroid issues...

       Well on in age with medical and family dynamics leaves you with a short list of things you can do.. organic chocolate is a fun treat and beneficial brain mood effects.. yogurt pops or container scooped like ice cream is fun too and helps gut bacteria that also has huge beneficial effects.. when my kiddies were little I'd buy the big containers & blend it 1/2 berry or orange juice & freeze in Popsicle molds so dessert was nutritious too.. Any or all forms of yogurt will help.. B12 are itsy bitsy fruit flavored tabs & most diets are B12 deficient, so much so Mayo declared it epidemic over a decade ago but why panic w population wide health crisis cured for a dime a day.. that also causes depression & vitamin C is a good daily immune staple.. poison free food she likes, fresh air, sunshine & hugs! <3

       not enough data ... i gave up sugar in 2018 for 30 days and it changed my life - so addictive.  then whole food only and keto for several months. more complex carbs now and this is my nutrition plan going forward. mercola has good info about this.

       Not a fan of Mercola who has been top shelf supplement peddler for decades w attitude too big for his research chops.. I have an extra dose of attitude because Health Nut Erin his 2010 girlfriend now wife two adopted Twitter @ unhealthytruth the title & account of Robyn O'Brien who befriended/meddled me from 2007 but wench copy pasted from my research & twisted stories from my life for her book of that title that made GMO allergy impossible to connect with lies woven through it.. can't see them differently from McKiernan citing Rixey w RFK Wuhan book.. dirtbag players playing together are always dirtbags.. lying wench still angers me.. /rant/

       Thank you _ I can at least feel like I am helping somehow - my sister has issues and her doctor prescribed b12 and I was low too, so this is all good.  She ended some vanilla milkshake and strawberries I brought - likes ice cream and such so I I'll make a healthy ones and continue with fruit.  I am livid right now about some issues with care and communications  that I will spare everyone from, but tI will take your positive suggestions to heart.

       i feel i have learned a lot of good nutritional biology from mercola. however i appreciate what you are saying - i pick and choose from what i read/hear. - back in 2018, 2019 i watched a lot of "lo carb down under" on YT. learned about the negatives of statins, too. and learned, yet again, how the medical profession is "confused" by metrics.i am suspect of supplements in general - kind of like walking past the gym and thinking i feel the pump. he was more keto when i started my keto regime. he has backed off and i have too.and his focus on mitochondria - one of my passions for several decades. his reasoning is that because glucose creates 4x the ATP of fats, hi fat diet is bad.  i think it is more nuanced than that.  the ketone energy pathway wouldn't be there if it was not important.  the body can't waste energy - has learned not to waste energy - or the body dies.so i see this very simple weight control mechanism.  1) establish a base level of physical activity. 2) switch from glucose to fat - say for several months. 3) when fat is burned for ATP, since more is needed, it extracts from the adipose tissue and organ fat.one problem to be aware of, is that the adipose sequesters toxins. when the adipose tissue breaks down the toxins are released again into the bioframe. so, several days of blahs and/or flu like symptoms.i test these hypotheses on my bioframe and this is where i am at now. i do take K2 - reference from Ivor Cummins interview - with both MK4 and MK7. the chemical engineer (i prefer the engineers i stumble across on social media) he interviewed brought a CAC score of 900 to zero.  mine is 10 when measured in early 2019.  i am avoiding ionizing radiation these days (also from mercola) so delaying another CT to update the CAC score. (fuck metrics).KoncentratedK is k-vitamins.com.  there are a large bibliography of medical articles explaining the biological mechanism.  i read a lot of articles.  just confirmation bias about how wrong headed the medical profession is in this era.that's too long.  we all need a bull session some time to let it all come out.
