#309 - What AI Sees That Doctors Can’t | Dr. Ziad Obermeyer & Mike Haney (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Medical AI is already getting good at doing things doctors do. Dr. Ziad Obermeyer thinks the bigger opportunity is using AI to discover things medicine doesn’t yet know. His work shows both sides of that future: algorithms can amplify bad assumptions when trained on the wrong targets, but they can also uncover signals in medical data that humans miss. Obermeyer argues that as more health data is collected outside the hospital, AI could turn it into a continuous picture of health rather than a se
#308 - Why Some Foods Are So Hard to Stop Eating | Dr. Dana Small & Mike Haney (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do we crave some foods the more often we eat them? Are we addicted? Dr. Dana Small’s research suggests that food craving reaches far beyond taste or willpower, and that “addiction” isn’t a helpful descriptor. Every time we eat, unconscious signals from the body teach the brain which foods deliver useful nutrients, and train us to want more of those. In other words, we don’t eat crave foods because they taste good; foods taste good because our body craves them. Understanding that means we can
#307 - It Took Months to Interpret His Genome. Claude Did It in 30 Minutes. | Dr. Euan Ashley + Mike Haney (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years ago, sequencing the human genome seemed poised to usher in an era of personalized medicine. Dr. Euan Ashley helped turn that promise into an actual clinical experiment, leading one of the first efforts to interpret an entire human genome in the context of a real patient’s health. The challenge quickly became apparent: medicine could suddenly generate billions of data points about one person, but making sense of them was painfully slow. That history feels newly relevant. Ashley
#306 - Does Intermittent Fasting Actually Work? | Dr. Courtney Peterson & Mike Haney (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is intermittent fasting biohacker wellness hype or legit health intervention? Some studies show real benefits, others find nothing, and the occasional headline calls it bad for your heart. Dr. Courtney Peterson has spent nearly two decades running some of the field's most tightly controlled feeding trials, and her data points to a clear pattern: there is a real effect to a restricted eating window, but when you eat may matter as much as how long you fast. Her studies found that eating in a short
#305 - What You Can Learn from Measuring Everything | Dr. Michael Snyder & Mike Haney (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if we could measure the human body the way engineers monitor a jet engine? For nearly two decades, Stanford geneticist Dr. Michael Snyder has been trying exactly that. By continuously tracking everything he could possibly track in his body—genome sequencing, metabolites, wearable data, whole-body imaging—he has turned himself (and ~100 study subjects) into one of the world's largest experiments in continuous health measurement. The point wasn’t mindless biohacking. It was to answer a questi
