“We really want to pay attention to their micronutrient status, because anyone having issues with addiction is coming, at the ketogenic diet and any nutrition change, at an absolute deficit and deficiency place, because having addiction causes you to burn through those cofactors you need in order to feel healthy and be in a good place.”
