Your problems sound rooted in physical and health issues. Try this:

- Cut out carbs. Start with a month of full keto, then dial it in. The goal is a constant energy level, no feeling sleepy or hungry, no brain fog. Intermittent fasting can help, even just skipping breakfast a couple days a week. This is all achievable, and it’s easier than you think. The goal isn’t weight loss, but if you’re overweight, you will slim down.

- Cut out seed oils. The oils themselves are bad, but also they tend to be plentiful in the absolute worst trash foods.

- Get some kind of exercise every day, and not just aerobic. You need some type of upper body strength development.

- Attend to your posture. Get a stand up desk, and stand more than you sit. I’m a fan of Alexander Technique, which teaches good posture and how to avoid poor use of your body. You can find a coach in your area.

- Attend to your breathing. If you’re mouth breathing, train yourself to nose breath. There’s a good book out now called “Breath” by James Nestor.
