Educational only. This is a frame for thinking about food, not medical or dietary advice, and it does not replace a clinician or a pharmacist. Where a state names a drug interaction, the mechanism and its citations live in interactions-data.mjs — read those before relying on any of it.

This is a screener, not a diagnosis, and it cannot establish any medically determinable impairment. It produces a list of questions and specific tests to bring to a clinician.
