So I've been sitting here trying to work out if the magnesium I started three weeks ago is actually doing anything or if I just want it to be doing something, and honestly I cannot tell. Which is the whole problem isn't it. How do you lot actually track this stuff? Like properly track it, not just "I think I slept a bit better" which means nothing. I've started writing a few lines in my notes app each morning, just mood and whether I woke up in the night, but I don't know if that's enough or if I'm measuring the wrong things entirely. Also I made myself stop buying anything new until I've actually assessed what I'm already taking. One thing at a time was the plan and then I immediately got distracted by about forty reels telling me I need ashwagandha and lion's mane and something called berberine and I just. No. I closed the app. I've got a GP appointment in six weeks and I want to go in with an actual list of what I'm taking so she's got the full picture. Does anyone know if GPs care about supplements in terms of interactions or do they just sort of nod and move on? I genuinely don't know what's worth disclosing. And before I add anything else I'm trying to sort the basics out first. Eating more protein, not skipping meals, that kind of thing. It's less exciting than a supplement stack but I figured if the foundations are a mess the rest probably doesn't matter much anyway. Any thoughts on the tracking question especially would be really welcome x
