She gave the details of the major treatments down to which she has condensed her treatment regime. She said, “And so I’ve just simplified it. So I simplified it to a couple of things. I simplified it to—Dr. Amon has a supplement called Happy Saffron that has, like, 25+ studies already on it of the positive effect. So for just mood and mood generally. So I’ve been taking that.
