Yes, I’ve shifted to a mostly anti-inflammatory diet, lots of greens, lean proteins, and omega-3s. I’ve also cut back on gluten and processed foods. It hasn’t cured anything, obviously, but I do notice fewer energy crashes and less overall fatigue. Supplement-wise, I take CoQ10 and alpha-lipoic acid after reading some early research. Always talk to your doc first, though, what helps one person might not help another.
