- 01100011 6y agoYep. I had insomnia for a while but that seems to be in check now. I started intermittent fasting a few weeks ago. No big changes yet, but I'll see how it goes. I also started 750mg of NMN. I've been going back to my old supplement regimen since it seemed to work better for me(moderate dose of vitamins, ashwagandha, CDP choline, high-DHA fish oil, NAC). I tried eliminating a lot of them for several months but it just seemed to accelerate the decline.
- ohyes 6y agoHow have you been measuring your cognitive decline? I have much shifted priorities from when I was in my 20s and was never that smart to begin with, so I’m note sure how I would even start to measure it.
- 01100011 6y agoI wish I had an objective test. All I can go by is the difficulty I experience solving problems and my progress at work. There are certain classes of problems, boolean logic for instance, which used to be second nature to me but now leave me feeling blank and without even a hint of what the answer is. It even shows up in everyday life. I encounter more and more situations where I can't take the available information and generate a solid decision... I end up 'YOLO'ing it a lot and just taking a guess. I'm trying to come up with coping strategies, like writing things down and using visual tricks, but it doesn't work most of the time. It's frustrating and scary. I don't even know if I could transition from a tech role into management because I am so unfocused and unable to think.
