this is not a common outcome but a year later I still think getting 30x WGS done was actually useful for seeing what types of things in my body are especially stressed/bottlenecked while sick (metabolic variants and ion channel issues) also knowing HLA is cool

the most useful thing I got out of it by far was pharmacogenetic data though

Very confused by what people expect me to do when they say "hold on a second". Have you ever tried to hold on a second? It's freaking impossible! Seconds keep happening one after the other no matter what you do!

i feel so emotional -- it's like these are made for me -- main pdf reading in pdf reader top-left, google doc and auxiliary google search top-right, codex + obsidian down below, gpt voice running in the background at <$3/hour, sony xm4s blasting music, fully blinkered, no physical-world distractions, aaaaaah. im tweeting to u guys from behind my xreal glasses rn!!! sorry, xreal monitor is like standing desk and monitor all-in-one!!! sooo good for work-life separation also :o it's this general trend of bringing environment optimization inwards, the *afferent impulse*, get more done in-house; blackout curtains -> myhalos sleep mask, monitor+standing desk -> xreal glasses, p100 respirator -> immune-computer interface next?

Relatedly, I tried careful repeat “low megadoses” of every vitamin, mineral, and electrolyte in chronometer and then several more not in chronometer, interleaving different micros in different orders according to taste and intuition. I kept track numerically to stay well below toxic levels. It took a lot of time and money and attention (because the fillers and flow agents in lots, though not all, supplements are bad). I found an extreme metabolic bottleneck on vitamin k1 (not k2), of all things. Plus my “nutrient intuition” became much, much better, and I still irregularly “low megadose” various things during activity/metabolic/environment regime changes for great benefit.

Food intolerance is common. Some estimates suggest it affects around a sixth of the U.S. population. The medical system considers it “of personal but not clinical significance.” In the worst case, you can permanently disabled by it, though... meaningness.substack.com/p/e…
