Full Talk
Technical level:
Intermediate
Life is about optimizing for happiness? How do we bring science into this? This talk is my journey where I tried to build habbits based data (collected in various ways from DNA analysis, CGM to Apps) optimized for happiness.
Outline
First walk-through the family history of dealing with Parkinson’s disease, Diabetes etc and my efforts to identifying habbits( like fitness, meditation etc and not just health as a factor) for happiness.
How did I go about changing things, building habits based on the data (like DNA Analysis, Continuous Glucose Monitoring, various Apps etc) , reading research papers. We will go through the tests I got done, data I collected and the results of it. Some conclusions from those tests.
Then we will go through the non medical modifications and habits I am trying to build and the effect of them on life and happiness in general.
We will conclude by talking about the future.
