Genetic Testing and Personal Health Data

like last night one of the reasons why i didn't sleep much this i was stayed up too late um because i ran a genetic panel for myself i haven't run one since 2016 i know there's a lot more research into it so i took my 23andme data ran it through uh software and i was going through it and saying okay um i see where some i've got some polymorphisms i might need to take care of because i got i sent you my labs the other day so you could have a look at it my fucking iron is out of control well i've been eating shit tons of red meat, my digestion has not been that great. And it should be for what I eat. I also wanted to confirm why my ADD is so bad. And this report did it. But in the report, I started, I started seeing some key markers of things I might need to work out like some IBS, or IBD potential. I started looking at, you know, some iron snips and my ADD snips to saying, okay, so maybe i need to start adding in a few things here and maybe reduce a couple of things over here and then go get my labs in 12 weeks and see if that affects me but holy shit my add i have i have over i have over 72 snips related to impulse like an inability to control impulse and behavior control and hyperactivity disorder um uh problem with authority like all this shit And I'm like, that made a lot of sense when I was growing up, made a lot of sense. Thank, thank God for modern amphetamines. I take my Vyvanse and I'm good. I'm not a maniac. Oh my God. I, I, I'll want to see that. Cause that's actually fascinating to me, but, but you're right. I think a lot of people, when shit doesn't work, they're very quick to do the latest test or, you know, someone said, do this test or whatever. I remember the day you told me to have whey protein. Like, I think it was two years ago. I was terrified. I came to Luke gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free. Like I was that person. And now I eat all the gluten. I eat bagels. I eat dairy. I have whey protein. And thank God, because it is so much more delicious than vegan protein. But I remember that because you got me eating real food, more of it. And you got me in shape. And I was like, oh my God, I have no gut issues. Like everyone who thinks that they're special delicate snowflake with all these gut issues. Granted, there are a lot of food intolerance issues that people have, but sometimes it can be rectified just by doing what your body needs you to do, which is eating more and actually making more mitochondria. It's like, it was cool. Get your body, get your body working better. Work on getting the stress down prioritizing sleep train but don't train too much train in the ways that you need right now which is why qualified coach can help you out with that um and then a lot of chew your food like a fucking adult a lot of that stuff nail all that stuff first before you start adding in a bunch of fucking tests i know people will go to the naturopath and order five thousand dollars with the test that the naturopath doesn't even know how to read um and then they'll prescribe them $5,000 a month in fucking supplements. Like, yeah, kidding me. And then they come to me when they get, they get real fucked up. They come to me and they send me all the tests. And what does your naturopath say? Well, this is what she said about these two tests, these two tests. She said, she doesn't know how to read them. I'm like, why the fuck did she order them? Those aren't cheap. And so I'm like, okay, what supplements? Okay. Get rid of everything. Keep these three things. And we're going to focus on getting you, getting your metrics and your autonomic nervous system at a good level mitochondria good level um get you fit and six eight weeks later they're like fuck i feel significantly better i'm like yeah wasn't that a lot less expensive than ten thousand dollars you paid that naturopath so i was reading a book before bed but that's too basic it doesn't sell it's not sexy you know i do i do i never do audiobooks except before bed and and the reason is because if I start reading a book, especially if I'm into it, I won't put it down. I won't put it down. So I've gotten to the point where I don't read the books for pleasure before bed. I'll get in bed, turn the lights out and I'll put an audio book on and I'm out in like five minutes. You're not into the serial killers like me and Zoe? Fuck that. Did I ever tell you what happened when she read the Marilyn, or not the Marilyn Manson. That'd be funny. She read the Charles Manson book? No. so I can't remember what the book is it's like the most famous Charles Manson book and it's apparently it's fucking terrifying um she was scared shitless and when we were in our old apartment which our old apartment was it was tiny it was like living in a fucking tackle box and our one single bathroom was right outside of the bedroom door so she wakes up at like I don't know midnight or one o'clock she has to pee she wakes me up because she's scared because she went to bed rigging this book she goes so I was like she just fucking woke me up so I went and hid behind the door when she came in I scared her oh no okay I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever seen my wife cry okay and we've been together over six years now she cried at her wedding I cried at the wedding um I've made her cry for doing dumb shit probably two times and then the time I scared her and I was like I'm never doing that again because she was lost her fucking mind and I felt so bad oh my god oh she and I always exchanged like the best titles like I told her to buy the Jeffrey Dahmer one because that one was talk about what I don't know it's white white women love to read about this shit no I I read I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi So I read a lot of fantasy because what I like about that too is like nerds, nerds have philosophy all figured out. So if you get in some really good fantasy, there's always a bunch of really good lessons that are underlying of how you should act towards other people and also how you should not act. So that's why I really find a lot of inspiration in, in old fantasy stuff. that cool I like the serial killer stuff because I mean I don know I can explain it I just I can explain it The more fucked up the more intriguing it is And I don't know. I took criminology classes just for fun because it just was, I don't know. It's intriguing. I think a couple of years ago, I posted on Facebook about, I don't know if this is just a white woman thing, but why do all the white women I know, they get into this, all this serial killer documentaries books all this shit and i probably had three black friends women that were like oh i like that shit too and it was just full of like 150 white ladies like oh yeah fucking frothing like cannibalism and eating people's faces and wearing their faces and i was like what the fuck oh yeah oh yeah domers that's so fucking weird yeah i don't know i can't explain it but it's fascinating well this has been an amazing two hours so i don't know what else to say but other than thank you what are you doing it's pablo hey pablo he's just he's just looking out just zoe zoe left for the gym to go work and he'll just sit here and he'll just hang out on the ledge and wait for her it's really fucking sad so cute i like when he humps daisy that's really fun to watch too yeah that's funny he goes through these spurts where um you know he couldn't care less and he goes through a few days where it's like i don't know if he's got some type of cycle or something is he just he's like i'm like bro she's she's like 10 times your size it's not gonna happen and he tries to stick it in place it doesn't even go he's like humping her in the side of the head, the shoulder, and she just sits there and takes it. She does. She's the best. Hopefully I get to meet them one day in person next year. One day, one day, one of these days.
