Not eating inflammatory foods. Severely limit sugar, carbohydrates. Not eating as much. Enough sleep.

That's a misunderstanding of the article, it says that the issue is due to the leaky blood brain barrier. The chemicals for inflammation in the body aren't inherently bad, they're just not designed to be in the brain. Decreasing the source of that inflammation could help but it's not the issue being discussed here.
