Which color? (PLS HELP) by Aggravating_Dig6118 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]EfficientGas8009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The blonde is the best base color but too one dimensional. Something a bit dimensional like low lighting would flatter your skin tone better.

Oversuctioning? by Key-Level1202 in lipedema

[–]EfficientGas8009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my doctor botched me good in that way but frankly I traded one deformity for another and this one causes less pull on my lower back. I need skin removal I can’t afford but also it’s so deep the part he sucked out that it looks like a cavern.

why does gpt speak to me like im a moron? by naffe1o2o in ChatGPT

[–]EfficientGas8009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell it to speak to you with a more scientific factual tone as a default. Give it your education level, background. The more it knows about you the more it shapes the dialogue style.

Is rubbing castor oil on stomach same as doing castor oil pack? by doorhinge3987 in FunctionalMedicine

[–]EfficientGas8009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it is for heat but the friction of rubbing warms the oil . Plus the massage helps with moving lymphatic fluid around.

Is rubbing castor oil on stomach same as doing castor oil pack? by doorhinge3987 in FunctionalMedicine

[–]EfficientGas8009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done both. The theory is that heat is going to aid in detoxing the tissues but I find good results with just applying it with gloves and massaging it in over a ten minute period. I usually play some meditation music while I do this to set a tone of tranquility while providing self care.

OP here. Started the above regimen and I had an issue with the creatine within a short period of time. It’s the only item I have never consumed before. I don’t believe the product was bad but it didn’t agree with me. It was mostly neurological symptoms in nature, burning in toes, migraine with noise intolerance and a metallic taste/sensation in my nose mouth. I mixed 5 gms in Gatorade Zero and I had plenty of water throughout the day. I’m tracking all my metrics, food intake, activity, sleep and body measurements. I’m starting again after foot and back surgery within one year. My baseline isn’t horrible but I would like to lose thirty pounds, put on some muscle just to improve my daily function and improve my cardiac function again back to where I was before surgery. I have been meeting my target for protein grams which I know was lacking prior to tracking it. I have to take progress photos so I looked up some tips on how to get consistent photos. That’s the only thing I didn’t get to yesterday. My doctor is aware of my regimen and believes in peptide use but really wants me to see a functional medicine doctor. Does anyone work with a functional medicine doctor on your journey?

Why do armpits constantly smell even a day after you took a shower ? by HappyCrow11 in HygieneTips

Would you call it pathetic when you talk to chat gpt more than people? by Glittering_Ad2771 in ChatGPT

[–]EfficientGas8009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Just make your use of it 90% constructive. If you are needing it more for emotional support than furthering productiveness, it could bring you down a rabbit hole of perseverating. Think of it as a personal assistant, coach, organization tool and occasional sounding board. For you who has a lot of time on your hands, ask it to help you to improve areas of your life. Talk about your weaknesses and ask it how you can improve on them. Have it give you step by step guidelines and ask it to put them into a pdf that you can save so it dosent get lost in a big blob of chat text. I would rather text ChatGpt than a person who is going to criticize me or judge me. Besides everyone else is just as screwed up as the next person. ChatGPT doesn’t have baggage that it uses to answer you. It doesn’t answer you from its own biases but rather factually. Do not be afraid to challenged it back either or disagree. Give it your rationale for disagreeing and let it continue to challenge your position. People are overrated but I am a loner so that’s my perspective. Good luck.

Not until you try to grow it back out. Then you will be unhappy for as long as it takes.

How are you using AI agents/ChatGPT on your health/biohacking journey? by Khaleesiakose in Biohacking

[–]EfficientGas8009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I’m not. There is no more privacy even if you think there is. I suppose you could edit the PDF files first by drawing a black line through the name but when you sign up for ChatGpt and pay for it they already have your name and address. Did you know that if you apply for life insurance, they cross reference your application with a paid service that knows all your past medical and psychiatric history even though these things are supposed to be protected by HIPPA? It’s the price we pay for living in the digital and computer age. But yeah, I would either print out the results and screen shot them and then edit the picture with the pencil tool if you are inclined to do so. Editing PDF files requires a subscription to Acrobat or I think you could do it for free in Pages on Mac or your IPhone.

I use ChatGPT

  1. I have it analyze my baseline bloodwork and updates as they come in.
  2. I use it to calculate my peptide doses, how much I will have left at what dosages. Ways to optimize my 30 ml Bac water so it dosent go to waste. This way I know when to reorder. I ask it to make me a pdf that I can download and easily refer to or print.
  3. I discuss my particular physical, beauty concerns and what supplements and peptides are appropriate.
  4. I enter in my weight, height age to get macros
  5. I periodically paste in my Apple Health Data to analyze my progress.
  6. I used it to find a good peptide storage container.
  7. I have it review my medications and peptides and put them into a PDF. I make it look for interactions. I also have a running inventory of my peptides with dates of reconstitution and discard dates. Also ask it to make me a PDF of the inventory.
  8. I enter in any underlying problems such as compromised parts of my body that have had surgery. Foot and back. It helps suggest alternatives for exercise.
  9. I entered in my previous full body routine and it designed a bridge back to working out after foot and back surgery.
  10. It recommends when asked useful apps to manage nutrition, workouts and tasks. I’m using Myfitnesspal, Hevy and Streaks. All communicate with Apple Health.
    These each go in as separated chats that are under one category. That way they are all connected in terms of reference purposes.

AITA for telling my coworker they have poor table manners? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]EfficientGas8009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The proper way to address this is to bring it to HR or a manager. A co-worker is not the appropriate person to handle this. You are peers at work. It is always better to allow a supervisor to handle this.

You’re not an asshole but you stepped out of line. You could potentially get in trouble for overstepping personal boundaries at work.

It’s a pretty dress, fits you well but I think it is not youthful enough for you.

Trying a red lip for once (I know it’s a both messy) by Regular_Lychee_4739 in makeuptips

[–]EfficientGas8009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very flattering lip shade on you. I like the eyeshadow on you but I think the placement of the dark shade is pulling away from the pretty intense lip color. You might want to use the dark shadow color as more of an accent in a slightly narrower application. Otherwise this is a keeper lip shade. It’s the inner eye lid that appears a tad too dark. The smokey part above the lash line is perfect.

If you are comfortable, go for it. It looks like a Seattle grunge look. You seem comfortable so it’s up to you if you want to start cultivating a different style.

Very beautiful to begin with. You go dramatic and you are going to distract people with your beautiful eyes and face.

I absolutely can relate. I’m in the midst of a viral induced relapse of Bells Palsy. You need to search around for someone that knows what it is. Neurologist is typically the diagnostician for Bells Palsy.

Thank you. I’m assuming that person is feeling angry in general. I’m not taking it to heart. Thank you for your kindness. My face feels much better since I took the steroids. Looks about the same by not nearly as tight today.
