!My approach
|-
|Don't track food
|See food and supplements as 75% of health.
|-
|Don't track minor symptoms
|Respect my body's communications as smarter than technology.
|-
|Use sleep tracking gadgets
|Track sleep and wake times manually, since automatic detection is unreliable.
Don't use automatic estimations of sleep quality, which are unreliable and unactionable.
|-
|Run one experiment at a time
|Recognize that deficiency symptoms can take months to emerge. Respond to one symptom at time, trying several interventions until it resolves, then circle back and retry interventions to narrow down what works.
|-
|Rate symptom of concern on a scale of 1-10
|Track all symptoms, even those that aren't bothersome as free text notes, timestamped to when they start, since they're often related to timing of food or supplement. Timestamps and consistency are far more helpful than regular quantities -- see my presentation [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LgLBUQFzioJMjr_o4B_YkOECGQ4p477XfaV1rLILOLg/edit The Tagged Self].

|Take medication to fix symptoms
|Take medication to fix symptoms
|Assume almost all symptoms are indirectly caused by diet and supplements, via nutritional deficiencies or side effects, and may require months or years of patient experimentation.
