There is some good general nutrition advice in here, but the huge takeaway for me was around neurotransmitters and amino-acids.
The quick version: there are many 'brain' issues such as addiction, depression, anxiety, etc. that might be the result of a neurotransmitter being deficient. (There are other factors of course that vary based on biology and circumstance, but this is a possible reason for some people).
Because of the blood-brain barrier, you can't just ingest the missing neurotransmitter, but you can ingest the amino-acids and precursors needed to build that neurotransmitter. If it's needed, the brain will use it and you'll feel the results pretty fast (like, within 15-20 minutes). If it's not needed, then you won't.
This is a really important distinction I want to point out in this book vs others. She basically says "If this was the problem, you'll feel the desired effect within 15 to 20 minutes" Many nutrition books offer up a regimen you have to keep up for a long time, and can always point to a slip-up as a reason for it not 'working'. There are parts of the book that are like this too, but the amino acid stuff... like I said, it'll either work almost instantly and you'll realize that was the problem, or it won't and it turns out that wasn't the problem.
Over the years I've recommended some of the amino acids to friends based on symptoms she describes, and I'd say for at least 2/3 of them, it has a noticeable impact (so it was the problem for them).
There's other nutrition stuff in here of course, but the above was the first (and only) time I've encountered this amino-acid for brain function stuff explained in a biologically sound, verifiable manner.
