A look at the review section on Amazon reveals 183 reviews: 127 five-star reviews and 15 one-star reviews, and the readers' opinions vary from "This is a life saver" to "There's no scientific validity, nothing but shameless snakeoil hype." I'm not going to buy any products. I'll just read the book and adjust my diet for now.
Nevertheless, I'm going to give this program an optimistic try. I'll report my own anecdotal results later. As always, don't discontinue any prescribed medicine without first discussing it with your personal physician.
The UltraMind Solution: The Simple Way to Defeat Depression, Overcome Anxiety, and Sharpen Your Mind by Mark Hyman, M. D.
Is your brain broken?
We refer to our broken brains by many names—depression, anxiety, memory loss, brain fog, ADHD, autism, to name a few—and although we can’t see it, this silent epidemic affects more than one billion people worldwide. If you can answer yes to any of the following, you may have a broken brain: Are you depressed, feeling down, and don’t have the drive to do anything? Do you find it next to impossible to focus or concentrate? Do you get anxious, worried, or stressed-out frequently? Does your mind feel foggy, unable to experience the world clearly?
All is not lost. In The UltraMind Solution, New York Times bestselling author Mark Hyman shows that to fix your broken brain, you must heal your body first. Dr. Hyman presents a simple six-week plan based on the emerging field of functional medicine to restore health and gain an UltraMind—one that’s highly focused, able to pay attention at will, has a strong memory, and leaves us feeling calm, confident, in control, and in good spirits.

Amazon reviewer Jared Monroe points out that much of the book's material can be gleaned from a free download: he writes, "The benefits of this book can all be had in their free download "The Ultramind Solution Companion Guide" search for it online.
