You meet up with an old friend, and she looks terrible. Her skin is sallow, her eyes are bloodshot and a bit yellow, and her hair seems to be falling out. She seems frail, thin, and fragile. Her movements are shaky. She tells you she is tired all the time, and she has stopped having normal menses. She is confused because about a year ago she changed her habits and adopted a "super healthy" lifestyle based on celebrity diets and websites she found online. She explains that she is now vegan and only eats foods that are organic and raw. She even drinks "raw" water. She consumes no meat or animal products including milk, eggs, or dairy. She eats no gluten, processed foods, or cooked foods. Avoids GMOs. Takes high-dose multivitamin. Whats your advice?
