Mental and Physical health hacks, resources and advice

Millsy Went all Leslie Phillips (RIP) for a moment and thanked my lucky stars it wasn’t Benson flicking through a travel mag instead.

Lol!

Morty-C-137 Bit more than that, its usually a wide spectrum blood test for molecules and genes. So an example would be that they test for Alanine Aminotransferase is an enzyme in your liver, too much of it and your liver is goosed. They can test for all sorts, and as far as I can tell, it can be pretty useful in catching stuff / warning of stuff early on.

But, I confess, I haven’t yet done Hugo esque research into the subject, I’ve only just started reading about it, and thought I would see if anyone has any experience of it.

The drawback being that a private company has some fairly deep info on your health. You can only begin to imagine the bombardment of marketing shite that follows:

Low T? Hursty trab ads.

Really low T? Saga holiday ads.

Really, really low T? Funeral plan ads!

Millsy Finally got the vestigial tail removed. I always thought it was ‘what made you, you’!

Might go all in and get my DNA sequenced too.

What’s the end game here, Amps? Your head in a jar on a robot body?

Millsy Your head in a jar on a robot body?

Correct. AKA, the dream!

Amps Wait a minute.. what device are you wearing that constantly tracks your ALAT, ASAT and GGT? Do yo have AIDS?

Or are you talking about just getting bloodwork done at one of these private businesses instead of via your GP?

Morty-C-137 Yeah it’s a bit like getting tattooed. I start questioning my life choices, but get through it and immediately want to do it again lol.

Amps I’ve looked into this a bit, but not very seriously. To me it’s a lot of time chasing the last 1% of health, when I could be spending my time on diet, exercise, doing shit I enjoy to keep stress down, etc. I think the biggest problem with that “cutting edge” health science is that it’s not well understood enough to gain much practical value, but I’m sure that’ll change in the coming decades.

303abuser spending my time on diet, exercise, doing shit I enjoy to keep stress down,

I’m hoping it might better inform how I spend my time on diet, exercise, doing shit I enjoy to keep stress down.

Had a Ruby for lunch earlier.

Was fandabidozi.

Amps have you ever thought about coming off Twitter to help keep your stress down?

Might be worth considering chief.

Smallman1 That’s what you tory shit cunts would want though, don’t look up, don’t look behind the curtain, distract yourself whilst we dismantle the country and enforce a police state… charlie don’t surf man!

Lol, you’re absolutely crackers!

Amps Yeah that would be the goal I guess. If you haven’t watched/listened before, I think you’d like Peter Attia’s podcast, lots of detailed science around health and longevity.

Smallman1 you’re absolutely crackers!

The Tories continue to sell off the countries assets, disenfranchising us all, and the Police have started to arrest journalists. Crackers maybe, but factually correct.
