Dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

I mention the TSH because everything kicked off with my thyroid issues.
So, the way people talk about it makes zero sense to me—at least in my experience—🤷because I was eating the exact same foods during both of those summers.
So what about this idea that Americans eat poorly and their bodies just suddenly gave out from all the junk food?
For us, it was a realization process. It didn't click immediately that neither cereals nor sandwiches are actually good for breakfast, or that cow's milk and anything dairy-based isn't inherently healthy.
It’s interesting—my little one only asks for raw cucumbers for breakfast now. I find myself craving tons of raw onions and green salad, and instinctively reaching for raw fruit and vegetables. (They were taught to eat broccoli and cauliflower cooked since I didn't know we had an issue back then, so I just cooked everything out of habit, and now I have no idea how to switch them over to raw).
Which of you uses almonds or walnuts, and how do you feel after eating those?
