For all their bullshit the right does pick up on some weirdo cultural trend that I think they are correct about every now and then.

I think the idea of consuming human breast milk later in life is going to be the cure to a lot of the issues that our society is having now. It obviously needs to be tested for pathogens because those can be transferred but what is considered a healthy microbiome largely consists of that which is transplanted during birth and via breast milk.

We know that specific strains which are plentiful in youth such as decline to make up only about 10% of the microbiome in late 20s and nearly die off completely by 30s. We also know that specific strains such as lactobacillus reuteri have declined on the whole since the 90s in US populations both of which are found in breast milk.

We are likely going to find that colonization of the gut requires an entire ecostystem and this is likely why on the whole are not useful for altering the micrbiome long term. Breast milk which includes a diverse ecosystem of microbes as well as Oligosaccharides and Lactoferrin being required by the process. Thus far the long term efficacy of Fecal matter transplants ie being questionable at best is a possible alternative to this.

I’ve been increasingly become one of those personal data nerds.

I underwent genetic testing last year upon recommendation from my doctor and now it’s been kind of interesting to track my personal health data and better understand risk factors.

After a month of less-than-stellar habits, seeing it reflected in my health data really is the kickstart I need to make changes.

Seriously, are there any focused personal and companies? And why does tracking your own require cloud services at all?

@librehealth Would you happen to know of any solutions for ? I can find no data aggregator that isn't proprietary or aimed at medical tech engineers.
