Public knowledge resources can make a good starting point, e.g. to identify interventions one can try and that are likely to work. This wiki can be a starting point by browsing topics of interest and visiting the links in the articles find basic common knowledge about a given topic from the perspective of health tracking.

Public knowledge resources can make a good starting point, e.g. to identify interventions one can try and that are likely to work. This wiki can be a starting point by browsing topics of interest and visiting the links in the articles find basic common knowledge about a given topic from the perspective of health tracking. The most dependable source of information is from your government.<ref>https://medlineplus.gov/</ref> When searching add 'site:.gov' to the end of your query. Wikipedia is less reliable. Research papers are for more advanced researching. Use advanced search tools like ontologies.<ref>www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68008568</ref>

Additionally, it might be worth looking for more details or the cutting edge of science for interventions. Or maybe not?<ref>https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fFY2HeC9i2Tx8FEnK/my-resentful-story-of-becoming-a-medical-miracle</ref> Depending on the topic in question there might be communities which compile such detailed information, e.g. the communities [[Tools for Cognitive Testing|rNootropics]] and [[Diet tracking tools|rNutrition]] compile great lists of research conducted and advice. Depending on the topic and specific question, it may be bad to rely solely on epidemiological studies without looking at other types of studies.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/nutrition/comments/tby2ye/about_scientific_studies_on_nutrition_from_a/</ref>
