For me biggest thing to watch this year is how Farcaster and the NFT resurgence bonding curves go. Have a feeling it'll be awesome but dont want to jinx it.
Permanently turning off blue light on my monitor has actually made a big difference in my sleep and circadian cycle. But really has taken out the fun in watching videos.

On doping, Hewitt and Sinner.
ARod v Kyrgios is an interesting, nascent change of pace for the tennis world. Ex-players going at it.

Intriguing paper making the rounds this morning by Peter Visscher et al. in Nature about the future of Polygenic Gene Editing for reducing disease risk in embryos for complex diseases! Discusses about how a few variants dramatically decrease diseases like diabetes or schizophrenia. It's speculative but fascinating.

Something doesn't sit right with CHAI. Cant figure out yet, but the members plus use of 'responsible AI in health' can never bode well for patients and physicians. EHRs demonstrated that quite well.

Re-read When Breath Becomes Air by Kalanithi again this past week. Its a rare non-fiction book that weaves literary epithets and Kalanithi's grip on descriptive language (from his background in literature) is extraordinary. He's one of the few of whom I have tried to find other writings.
On that note. Any recommendations on books that weave in literature into non-fiction well? /books

I barely know how to code. I do know basic sql. And I've set up a full RAG agent using N8N and supabase for all my docs that dont work with notebookLM.
Now trying it out locally with patient data that patients can communicate with. Patients actually want me to do it and use their data.

Woah.
I’m somewhere in the middle here. Even though not at all super optimizer, I do think Bryan has brought on many more people towards even just starting to think about optimizing their daily lives. But Nassim has a point.

On the surface this seems net bad for an open internet. Wouldn’t Meta, X and others be able to throttle via ISPs?

KRAKEN trial demonstrated that muvalaplin, an oral agent, significantly reduced Lp(a) levels by up to 85.8% over 12 weeks, with a favorable safety profile. Only caveat is the trial was short and didnt study cardiovascular outcocmes.
Also interesting that they developed a novel testing method for the trial as well.

“In 1873, Mark Twain co-wrote the novel “The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today,” which satirized an era that was marked by inequality, greed, and moral decay but was painted in a veneer of abundance and progress. Industrialists made fortunes in oil, steel, and shipping even as millions suffered poverty and exploitation. Today, health care is where the money is. New technologies and treatments sustain the impression that patients have never been healthier, but corporations and conglomerates wield immense power at the expense of the people they’re meant to serve. Welcome to the Gilded Age of medicine.”
Have so many thoughts on this that it could easily be a blog post. It has been worsening, to the extent that one side is no longer aware of the other. We see it in insurance coverage, available Medications and access to basic care.

With Cudis and Pulse coming out as crypto based wearables, would be great to see collaboration with @vitadao projects on personalized medicine and longevity studies. Especially if the incentives can be structured in paying back participants.
Its another reason why for many who are young and healthy and with good income, high deductable HSA plans make more and more sense. Keep more in pocket while getting pretax HSA funds to invest and direct health pay towards what you want. Most wearables, labs, even 8sleep accept HSA/FSA.
Becomes more relevant as consumer tech starts to have more TVL than traditional healthcare.
Not financial advice and everyone must look at it from their individual perspective.

Feels like GLP-1 rush day today as patients try to get their last refill before insurance changes tomorrow.
Many insurance cos are dropping GLP-1 coverage for 2025 or making the requirements stricter

Emirates is the most over-rated airline in the world. Especially the last 2-3 years where they have been acting like US airlines and charging fees for nearly everything, including selecting seats, check-in baggage in...business class. They're not the airline they use to be.
Feedback loops with wearable and patient biomarkers utilizing LLMs is something every physician should be thinking about.
It’s a paradigm shift in how we are trained to treat temporally. Real time medical data, trials, guidelines.
We will have to go beyond evidence based medicine and data-powered medicine.

This is a shameless plug.
My wife recently just started her own practice so wanted to share. She is a double-board certified psychiatrist in Adult and Child psychiatry but more importantly gives 110% energy to her patients. She did her fellowship at Stanford so has a good grasp and experience on the challenges and nuances of the tech space.
I hate self-promoting which is why I never promote my own practice here, but she is 100x better as a person and physician than I am and the Farcaster community is special to me so wanted to share. Will also post in /parenting if it helps out any parents.

Constipation is something that is not spoken of enough in leading to long term consequences both mild (hemorrhoids) and severe (diverticulitis, colectomy)

Advancing statistsics is just as important for the advent of personalized medicine as is drug discovery. More on this soon...
Rereading How Doctors Think by Montogomery this morning and found it relevant to the discourse on the value of physicians in the age of AI. Interpretation of what we see as physicians, be it through an EKG, CXR and eventually the assessment of the LLM is built on and for the patient in front of us. Easy to forget sometimes.
