ChatGPT - the future of good health?

ChatGPT is everywhere. Will it soon take over your lifestyle? Tell me what to eat, how to exercise, when, and how much.

ChatGPT is everywhere. Unless you have been trekking in the Amazon, chances are you have been sitting and asking it to do all kinds of things. Will it soon take over your lifestyle? Tell me what to eat, how to exercise, when, and how much.

The short answer is yes. The long answer? A lot more nuanced. My personal transformation towards good health and longevity started in 2015.

Be selective in sharing your newly acquired knowledge, I was told. People will copy or steal, I was told.

But what I was saying has been said over and over again by hundreds of people across the world, I kept wondering to myself. Obviously, I too was simply learning from people who had already acquired the knowledge.

Ravi, the professor who transformed my life, already knew. So, what sense did it make to hide information that so many people already knew? So I shared everything I learned freely through this blog and the hundreds of talks I have given.

Why do I then believe that ChatGPT, while probably more accurate than I could ever be, is unlikely to be anything more than an aid? In one word, emotions.

Everyone I speak to or work with already knows everything I am telling them. They are not seeking more information or even more accurate information. Instead, they are looking for someone to reduce the noise.

To reassure them that it is possible. If I could become Chopin simply by telling my computer to help read or write music, life would be very simple. But we all know it isn't.

So where do AI tools fit in? Think of it like the watch, sleep ring, or even blood pressure monitor that you may have used. It is another way of knowing where you stand. It is information.

Knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom, as my dad taught us, do not come from information but from its application.

So I think AI tools will reduce the clutter and make it harder for people to pretend they know. There are far too many people on instagram telling you that you can intermittent fast in twelve hours. For those sorts, AI will be a barometer of truth.

Sensors - the future

Sensors are devices that detect a change. Light, sound, or smoke, for example. But what might the future of sensors hold for your personal health? Most of us have used simple sensors. Temperature gauge. Blood pressure. But in the not-too-distant future, we might scoff at these simple devices. Let us

Reversal or Remission?

We have come a long way. About a decade ago, when I started my amazing health transformation, most of the people I met were skeptics. The thrust of the argument I would hear would be that there was no way to reverse a disease. In essence, diseases were a one

But then he died

I was recently reading a book on beating cancer. The author outlined the steps he had taken to beat grade III colon cancer successfully. Then I realized he had recently died of cancer. Naturally, my first instinct was to question everything he had said. He had rejected chemotherapy. He had

Preferences - do you have any?

Quick, tell me what your preferences are for food. Ok, at least think of things you like. What if I told you that you do not really have any preferences? What if I told you that your preferences are malleable depending on the circumstances and what you are being told
