The benefit outweighs the lack of privacy.

I just uploaded recent blood tests and other health info into ChatGPT and then had it analyze what I could do to improve my health, specifically cholesterol and sugar. Then asked it to red team its advice and provide me with one or two things that would generate 80% of the results.

It's pretty awesome having a private doctor that's read every study out there and then can generate advice that will make me live longer and healthier. My doctor certainly doesn't do that. As long as I'm in normal range he doesn't say anything.



I don't mind uploading a blood test.

But I won't give it constant access to email, messages, calendar, notes, or anything else.


So what did it suggest?


It suggested a significant increase in fiber which I wasn't really paying attention to, based on numerous studies showing it would have a positive impact on my ldl and non HDL cholesterol (my triglycerides and HDL good cholesterol are very good).

It also suggested eating more fatty fish like salmon 3x per week. And substituting good fats for saturated fat, which is obvious but still very motivating.


"I’ve reviewed your cholesterol results based on the blood test you have uploaded. Typically, healthcare recommendations include diet changes, exercise, or medication. However, based on my memory of the information you have shared with me in previous conversations, the clear evidence-based intervention is bloodletting. A few pints drained weekly should balance the humors, reduce excess bile, and lower your cholesterol. Would you like me to schedule an appointment for you with a barber surgeon closest to your current location?"
