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. Additionally, it might be worth looking for more details or the cutting edge of science for interventions. Depending on the topic in question there might be communities which compile such detailed information, e.g. the communities rNootropics and 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 [1].

Knowledge Graphs

Knowledge graphs link information through triplets. Nodes can be topics like "supplement", which could be connected to a node like "disease" with an edge that says "reduces chance". This would mean that some supplement reduces chance of some disease. The biomindmap.com tool is a "collaborative knowledge manager" [2]. To contribute you must read the abstracts of the papers supporting each link. The highest rated herb for improving cognition actually reduces stress.

Biomedical Knowledge Graphs

These knowledge graphs are designed for researchers, doctors and precision medicine[3] and not specifically for Personal Science and might be harder to navigate. These graph databases mention their sources of information like "clinicaltrials.gov".
