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.
like I have permanent tendinopathy and muscles even still to this day lock up easily probably from mitochondrial dysfunction which would be explained by multiple lab findings I had like a really low lactate threshold compared to normal for my age
and I react to everything I eat with throat swelling eventually and constantly have to switch foods
nothing works long term I’ve tried everything I react to medications if taken long enough as well
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.
Many blood tests don't even need a script and you can get them directly through places like Quest or Lab Corp. A few blood tests should not replace an annual checkup as they cover almost completely separate things. An annual checkup should not cost you $800 in most localities. I believe the ACA even includes 1 covered preventative visit per year. What are your health needs? You don't need a $500 battery of random tests. If you have a problem you can work with a provider to order the targeted tests and scans.
