Just got an indoor CO2 monitor, I was shocked to find the values fluctuated between 1000 and 2000ppm (peaking overnight in my bedroom, which has quite poor ventilation). Recommended is below 1000ppm, high levels can cause impaired mental performance and sleep quality.

It's too early to really see if this is making a significant difference in my sleep or mental performance, but the indoor levels were definitely above the recommended range and I was experiencing some of the symptoms of CO2 exposure (bad sleep, mild headaches, fatigue).

I'll do a follow-up post after collecting additional data with increased ventilation with manual symptom/mood tracking and wearables. Very curious to see how significant the change will be.

I recently celebrated my 1 year anniversary of self-employment building the @ReflectTracking app. I took this as an opportunity to review what changed in my life during this time. Some highlights:
• 41% decrease in stress
• 43% decrease in inability to concentrate

In the biohacking space, we talk a lot about interventions like supplements, movement, and tech gadgets, but sometimes making a significant change that brings you more in alignment with your passions can have big downstream effects on health.

I ran a 204 day long experiment with a random schedule where I meditated either 15 or 30 minutes per day. I found it improved my sleep, and impacted my mood in ways I didn’t anticipate.

I ran a 160 day long experiment with the @ReflectTracking app where I alternated phases of eating 50g of cheese/day for three days, and abstaining from cheese for three days. Here's what I found:

Heard about rhodiola rosea as an exercise enhancer on a podcast. Tested its benefits against existing research. Link to detailed findings: waragainstentropy.substack.c…
Workout Metrics: Manual tracking showed 54% more sparring time, 12% lower RPE. Whoop data revealed unexpected results: Contradictions to predictions and research. Increased intensity in heart rate zones, calorie expenditure, and workout duration.
