Your doc might have a point regarding the gut. The causal mechanism might have more to do with metabolism. I really like Dr. Chris Palmer (Harvard Psychiatrist) as an extremely interesting voice on this issue.
I also found the Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast to be interesting, as heāll often interview normal people who have seen improvement on carnivore/ketogenic diets.
In my own case, I saw massive improvements in mood and mental health after changing my diet.
Have you read Bessel van der Kolkās āThe Body Keeps the Score?ā
Fascinating and well researched explanation about how traumatic experiences can become locked into our central nervous system and musculature. It would be right up your alley.
Iām also curious to what extent diet plays a role in chronic pain. A lot of people have healed chronic inflammation through radical elimination diets. The gut-mind connection is very real.
Life is good. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Official announcement when that finally happens:

An AI bot replied to one of my posts recently. It was annoying because the interaction was unprompted and didnāt add anything of value.
It does make you wonder though. If this tech is available to the masses now, how many years ago did we all start interacting with social media bots controlled by intelligence agencies and governments?
Bitcoin at $30K. Pump it up.

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter today!
@gpt3ā Create a 10 song music playlist for me. Select lesser known songs from the 1940s across a variety of genres. The songs should have a positive vibe that compliments sitting by the pool on a sunny day.

If you like that idea you might also be interested in the speculation that Len Sassaman was Satoshi. He also died around the same time.
