One advice in this pdf is that on designing first before implementing. I think iterative cycles of design / implement / use / design /implement use yield better results.

I would caution with giving advice for taking vitamins and other supplements as a non-MD. Medical advice based on a sample size of N=1 is not a good idea. Apart from clear harmful vitamin deficiencies, studies show mixed results on the benefits of vitamins supplements.
