Fitbit + ChatGPT Data Analysis Walkthrough - Figuring out why I'm so tired all the time!

"I'm always tired" [speaks 522 words per second]

The madman used ChatGPT to reverse engineer the factors Fitbit uses for it's metrics. Wild. This was 10/10. More data!

Here's some things I did to fix my energy: 1 - Delay drinking coffee/caffeine for 60-90 minutes after waking up, no caffeine 8 hours before bed (allow for adenosine to detach from receptors to allow caffeine and prevention of deep sleep) 2 - Get 30 minutes of sun early in the morning (helps reset circadian rhythm) 3 - Fasting until 12-4pm 4 - Cut out all blue/bright lights at least 2 hours before bed (helps with melatonin production) 5 - No large meals near bed (digestion can interfere with deep sleep) 6 - Try to wake up and go to sleep around the same time (training circadian rhythm) I could probably list a 100 things, but look into Andrew Huberman's sleep podcasts, and maybe read Smarter not Harder by Dave Asprey. You've been a big help with my understanding of where AI may be headed! Hope you get it sorted out!!!

Holy crap been waiting for someone to do this. Can't believe it's a channel I follow and love.

Thanks to this video I’m paying more attention to my readiness score and it’s an eye opener! It’s a good indicator of how I’m feeling.

Love this. Would also love to see a follow up to see how it works out for you, whether you do get more of the good days, and any changes you make along the way. Great video!

Hey David! I've been logging my own data like this for years now, for the same purpose (also neurospicy). And AI finally enables me to properly analyze it. My predictors were exactly the same! What you can clearly see in my data is when I have a good day, I tend to overuse my energy (to catch up), which causes me to feel bad later. And so it keeps yo-yoing. To mitigate this, I'm regulating my energy expenditure to be more stable.

Hmm, I did all that manually (pre chatgpt days) and a bit too verbose. I also journal so I actually know my good and bad days sometimes down to the hour. But I couldn't for the life of me find a pattern. I cross-checked both ways - journalled good/bad days VS vitals-wise good/bad days, leading up to and afterwards. No strong correlation. Sure, the vitals themselves do relate to each other, although again, not strongly (like some days I performed better with less readiness (noticed afterwards so essentially a blind test)). But correlation with my journal entries (getting fired, moving into a bigger place, dates, fights) was even less. The conclusion I ended up with is that you can't just use vitals to predict your life.

So fascinating! As a running coach all this data makes sense. You are basically a low responder to cardio training no matter how hard you try. It is proof that genetics is a factor of our physical prowess and limitations. You are built more for weight lifting and gaining muscle very quickly with the right challenge and stimulus Great anaysis.

I had ADHD and anxiety, I ended up getting meds to boost my serotonin level and then changed my diet so I am consuming 65+ grams of protein a day, and added oatmeal and probiotics (90% of your mental health is driven by your gut health, subsequently that is where 90% of the serotonin comes from as well). Now the ADHD symptoms are almost completely in remission, I have lost over 20 lbs, and feel awesome.

Don't you think we have a 'soft' and 'hard' energy level? Soft meaning something along the lines of the indicators you're looking at, and hard being mind state? Know that feeling when you can't wait to wake up and do something, which can sometimes go on for days/weeks? Energy feels limitless, whereas when you're bored, nothing to look forward to and meh mood you can always feel exhausted for the same amount of time, no matter what. I find this sort of analysis super interesting though. Bryan Johnson seems to have the most energy of his life but he does also have a higher purpose and loves what he's doing. I just wonder how it all fits in.

It's so great that you did this video. I hope you will do more of them that have to do with AI and health trackers. I tried doing this too as soon as Gpts came out. I fed my custom GPT my detailed diary entries. Plus my Oura ring data. Unfortunately, the dates in my diary were not written in a conventional manner and so the GPT did not understand them, which kind of spoiled things... But I think this kind of thing could be great, as you have shown!

we got the data!

All the fitness / health monitoring devices need to integrate with LLMs so this is all analysed and presented automatically. We have the technology - just put it all together already!

When I drink lots of water I feel great but only beginning around 18 hours later...It counteracts tiredness a lot.

Amazing...now imagine if it had full blood count data and urine etc...and EKG!!!!

The bast video you made so far

I use Oura ring for sleep quality and don’t need AI for interpretation. For movement data I use Suunto watch and HR sensor. My best advice: balance out training (mental +physical activity)and resting (including meditation and nsdr).

Wow bro! Please give us the guide to recharging adhd batteries most efficiently please! ❤

Hey David, awesome stuff! Sorry if I’m making a dumb question but it’s not clear to me how you are tracking good/bad days.
