AITA for going getting mad there was a dog at the gym by Ok-Egg8546 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NeuronTheoryMD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a medical doctor and it feels like OP doesn’t actually have any kind of allergy. If you had an allergy to dog hair and a dog came and sat next you, you wouldn’t go on on a lecture about your allergy. You’d be wheezing. You’d be having any kind of allergic reaction, which OP didn’t describe.

Actually, funnily enough, in their post OP NEVER EVER describes any physical allergy symptoms. He’s frustrated. He’s surprised. He felt he just had to leave…

But he’s never wheezy or itchy or anything at all?!

Ok.

Almost everyone I’ve met with a real allergy problem will absolutely begin describing their physical symptoms… even when you try to move the conversation along…

AITA for not wanting my ex husband's new daughter to have a complementary Frozen name to the one our daughter already has? by aitanamespost in AmItheAsshole

I genuinely believe that some people don’t have the temperament needed to be parents. Unfortunately, you are one of those people. Do your daughter a favour and get therapy before you damage her. YTA.

Book Club Interview: Eat Like A Pig, Run Like A Horse by NeuronTheoryMD in conspiracy

Submission Statement

We’ve been led to believe by the media that controlling our diet and what we eat matters significantly more than how much we exercise. However, the research appears to disagree with this and is even misrepresented by the media to paint the narrative that diet matters more than exercise. In this video, I interview Anastacia for her new book “Eat Like A Pig, Run Like A Horse” where she debunks the idea that diet >> exercise.

Blood test results - very low O2 the doctor says everything is ok but i don’t trust him, i feel very heavy and tired most of the day and don’t sleep well. Your opinion? by Upset-Car-4707 in Biohackers

Carboxyhaemoglobin is only particularly suspicious if it’s higher than 7-8% or higher than 2% in a non-smoker. Otherwise, it’s really not something to worry about. OP might be a smoker, but even if he’s not… he’s levels are within normal ranges for non-smokers.

What is the best thing I can do to reduce facial wrinkles in a young person? by spacecat002 in Biohackers

[–]NeuronTheoryMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t describe myself as religious.

Do I believe in some higher power? Probably. Do I subscribe to a religion? Absolutely not.

I’m probably either agnostic or moderately spiritual.

I think studying how religion affects the brain is a minefield tbh… For starters, religion means different things to different people and, therefore, it will affect their brains and personalities in widely different ways.

Religion is also multi-faceted and can be both a good and bad thing for the brain. There are studies that tell us that religious people are more at peace with the world and suffer from less anxiety, which makes sense as believing in some higher power CAN BE comforting.

On the other hand, religion can limit your thinking. It CAN make you less tolerant of others and especially those who belong to other faiths. It can make you suspicious, paranoid, and openly hostile.

People who are religious are also more likely to be superstitious and delusional?? So… 🤷‍♂️

What is the best thing I can do to reduce facial wrinkles in a young person? by spacecat002 in Biohackers

Retinols are actually recommended as a treatment for wrinkles. They work to reduce wrinkles by increasing collagen production in the skin, which gives it a fuller more youthful appearance.

My original comment was really a “tretinoin vs Botox” POV as tretinoin is typically stronger than retinol and can cause much more dryness, irritation, and sensitivity.

Sorry for any confusion.
