Excitotoxins - The Taste That Kills
If your brain feels suspicious today, it probably is.
Somewhere between your morning “healthy” drink and your afternoon “I deserve this” snack,
a molecule committed a crime.
Your mood shifted. Your focus glitched.
Your energy did parkour. Your kid went feral.
Your dog started pacing like it owed someone money.
And you’re sitting there thinking,
“Wow, I’m a mess today.” No, you're not.
You’re a victim of a chemical hit‑and‑run.
But the real question is:
Which suspect did it?
The Flavor Felon?
The Diet Drink Double‑Agent?
The Hyperactivity Cartel?
The Bakery Bandit?
The Gut‑Brain Saboteur?
I'm not giving you the full investigation, or all the suspects, just know this:
Your symptoms are not a personality flaw. They're not a psych diagnosis. They're a chemical crime, and they don't need medications.
If you want the full suspect files, the mechanisms, the patterns, the “why did this happen to me,” and how to stop it from happening again, that’s happening inside my community.
I do the full forensic breakdown there, with humor, physiology, and zero judgment.
