as i'm working through this, what are the results of my dietary shift?

- the number of migraines i've had recently is greatly reduced. in fact, i haven't had one all year, i don't think, and have only had a few since last fall. i've tied this mostly to a b5 deficiency, but i may have also been having some issues with b12 absorption that may have been resolved with the nutritional yeast. that said, i've also taken great steps to keep the smoke out of the space, and the air quality in here has improved rather dramatically.

- i'm not less tired, at least not yet. if anything, i wonder if the more balanced diet is actually making me more tired. that said, as my diet has been in flux, i've been drinking a lot less coffee in an attempt to prevent it from interfering with absorption, to the point that i've started to recently notice something i haven't experienced in many years: coffee buzzes.

as i stated previously on several occasions, i'm at an age where i need to make sure i'm eating well, regardless. even if i end up having to take other approaches to staying awake for longer periods, and even if the lack of tiredness was actually a consequence of malnutrition, this is long overdue and necessary, regardless.
