Using ChatGPT to Estimate Age Based on Appearance (my results!)

I was playing around with ChatGPT last year and thought to myself: the number of photos with ages attached to them that this AI has probably consumed is likely a massive number and therefore would probably be good at estimating people’s age based on their appearance. So I tested with a few photos of other people first, and also asked it to guess some old photos of mine when I was a lot younger. I noticed it was incredibly accurate for most people, unless they looked unsually young or old. Unfortunately, I don’t have the best quality photos when I …

Supplements for Embedded UTI (backed by research)

If anyone had been following me on social media in 2022, you would know that I suddenly developed a UTI out of nowhere and that it became a chronic or embedded UTI because I was not able to tolerate antibiotics at the time due to nerve pain. I even tried something called Phage Therapy with Eliava Institute, and thankfully, that managed to resolve one bacteria that we cultured 4 times in a row. However, I was still left with bladder and kidney symptoms. It seems I likely had more than one bacteria causing the infection. While I waited for an …

Best Form of Quercetin Supplement For Absorption

There are many forms of quercetin supplements out there to choose from and they are often combined with other ingredients such as vitamin C, bromelain, and resveratrol to enhance its effects in the body. Often people will go for a larger dose because they believe it will be absorbed better. And to some extent they are correct. However, there are other forms of quercetin that are significantly better absorbed by the body. Which form of quercetin is that? It’s called Quercetin Phytosome. One of the major problems with using quercetin is its poor solubility and low oral absorption, but a …

Vegan Supplement Stack For Health and Longevity (2021)

It has been quite some time since I last made an update about my diet or supplements on my blog. One of the main reasons is that not a lot changed for a while and there wasn’t really anything to update on. I feel that any frequent updates about ‘what I eat in a day’ would be more suited to YouTube. So here I will just go through a quick rundown of all the supplements and medications that I am currently taking. I will also explain why I am taking them. Vegan Supplements I Take To Stay Young And Healthy …

Oculus Quest 2 Makes Exercising Fun and Gets You Fit!

Oculus Quest 2 is the virtual reality device that has got me exercising every day! If you know me, you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of virtual reality. I’ve been using my Oculus Rift since I got it in 2016 and I would use it for exercise fairly often, but it was nowhere near as convenient or as frictionless to use as the new Oculus Quest 2. I love my Quest 2 so much, I can’t really shut up about it even after 2 months of owning one. I can use this device anywhere in the house or even …

Does Looking Young For Your Age Mean You Will Live Longer?

If you’re lucky and have the right genes, you may grow up looking younger than your actual age for most of your life. Most people seem to age at a similar rate, but some outliers look a few years younger. Do you need the right genes, or can you slow it down with a healthy diet? It’s not common to look 20 years younger than your age unless you are either genetically lucky or are actively doing something to slow aging, such as being on a CR diet or at least eating very healthy and protecting your skin from sun …

PureChimp Matcha Green Tea Review: Has It Won Me Over?

Green Tea has be one of my favorite beverages since I discovered it over 15 years ago. Like most people, I’d go for the brands you typically find in the supermarket such as Twining’s, Clippers, or Tetley. And there’s nothing particularly bad about them, they taste fine! At least until you try pure matcha green tea from PureChimp. So recently I was browsing around and saw this Matcha Green Tea from PureChimp (interesting name, I thought…) Anyway, I went ahead and bought it as it was fairly cheap relative to other ceremonial grade teas. And so what’s it like? Well, …
