In general, he had extensive research to back up everything he was talking about. Depression: The Way Out has more details on the research and I think Proof Positive may as well.

Did he have any recommendations for additional tryptophan other than that in flax seed oil?
Top sources of tryptophan: Tofu, flax seeds (ground), roasted pumpkin seeds, gluten flour, sesame seeds, almonds, black walnuts, and blackeyed cowpeas.

The sublingual B-12 makes sense if the body is not absorbing it by other methods. Does he have a recommended blood level of B-12 or folate/ Or does he even do blood work for B-12, folate, D3, etc?.
Yes, we had extensive blood work done and got personalized nutrition counseling (and of course prescriptions as needed) based on it. He has recommended levels, but they are not gathered in one place for easy access. You have to kind of hunt and gather through Depression: The Way Out to find the info.

I suggested that they publish a one-page reference sheet that I could give to my doctor for follow-up testing, so hopefully they will come out with something like that in the future.

Did you spend time at his facility in Weimar?
Yes, we were at Weimar. It was a beautiful facility and a really wonderful experience.
