I'm in the same boat, have you tried seeing an integrative doctor? They can usually at least help extend the good periods.

People are so desperate for work nowadays I don't think a negative reputation would deter applicants

I agree with how important this is, but for me, the most significant improvement in my sleep has been pushing my dinner very early, ~6 hrs before bed, and having it be my smallest meal of the day. I usually feel quite hungry about an hour before bed but if I get over that hump my resting heart rate is much lower at night and my appetite the next day is much lower. It was validating to see Bryan Johnson sharing the same findings on x.

I highly recommend the book Breath by James Nestor. The only health/pop sci book I'd recommend. Doing breathwork has increased my HRV by ~10ms and lowered my respiratory rate when I sleep. I no longer snore as a result.

Very excited to live in a timeline where autoimmune diseases could be cured. 40 people are already in remission from Lupus in a trial conducted last year.

I disagree that self-driving won't reduce traffic, at least from the perspective a Virginia resident. Commuting into D.C. is in theory very quick, except for when there are crashes. Crashes double the commute time, and there's _always_ a crash. This is pretty much the only source of traffic in my area. I think the primary benefit of self-driving would be lowering the crash rate, and as a side effect traffic.

I think this replaces the need for something like an $800 annual check up. I've asked my doctor for a comprehensive blood panel and they're only willing to give ~30$ worth of blood tests, maybe 2 pages of results. You don't end up learning enough to solve your actual health needs.

I've regained my respect for Joe Biden. Stepping away from power is rare. No one does it. I think this will leave a positive legacy for him.

Cutting out added sugar and supplementing Vitamin D have both significantly improved the quality of my life. I now have the feeling that all the info we need to live a healthy life is out there and that good health is slowly becoming a choice. I'm optimistic that the internet has dampened the power that some of these corporations have had over our nutrition. I'm looking forward to supplementing omega 3s and seeing if that has any effect.

Not at the rate that we consume it. But having beef, chicken and pork once per week? Definitely something that is healthier for our bodies, the planet and the livelihoods of these animals.
