Cutting 1 compound from processed foods could reduce brain fog, anxiety, and chronic pain, scientists say. - Business Insider

Kathleen Holton studies the link between diet and neurological changes, searching for strategies to use food in optimizing brain health. US Navy Chaplain Deb Mariya had been struggling with PTSD and fibromyalgia for decades, unable to find relief despite trying every treatment she could find, from medication to acupuncture. Then a new diet changed her life, she told Business Insider. Maryia said that she had developed escalating symptoms after deploying to Kuwait in 1991's Operation Desert Storm, amid black clouds of burning oil and debris-laden sandstorms.

An autoimmune condition attacked her bones and joints, leaving her in need of hip replacement surgery, but unable to heal properly afterward, causing life-threatening complications. Then in 2024, Maryia enrolled in an experimental clinical trial for veterans.

The syndrome is a collection of neurological issues like joint problems, severe fatigue, and mood disturbances.
