Yes you can ask any AI what supplements will help your sleep. One type will give you recommendations, dosages, and some considerations. It uses the info from brands, research and media that’s available in the public domain. Another type of AI, type 2, like the Weight Health Nutritionist, which is HIPAA compliant and built solely from my approved content will ask you questions about your sleep, your health, your choices and help you build a true sleep optimization plan that may or may not include supplements. It may even “phone a friend” and suggest we talk to Dave Rabin or other Onix experts to complement my advice (I’m real good but I’m even better for you with other experts who’s areas of expertise can help us build even better sleep solutions).
The question isn’t whether or not to use AI to personalize your nutrition for optimal weight health, it’s what type of AI does it better for you. Try it for free https://creator.onix.life/invite?ref=ashley-koff-landing

Peptide Prescription →Depression Got Worse (cautionary tale): my patient saw her practitioner for stubborn moderate elevation of A1C, concerns about potentially elevated cortisol driving her blood sugar up and belly fat. She was prescribed and sold a peptide, Selank … as the solution. It was initiated before hormone data was back. She has her medications in her medical record.

She tried it for a few weeks. When we met, I learned she was on it because she was experiencing new onset depression. I suggested she discuss with her prescribing practitioner immediately and likely stop.

Why? 1) we now had her lab data that showed her cortisol was not elevated 2) she has been on an SSRI for decades 3) we’ve been working on her nutrition and the elevated A1C correlates with other factors, not mood and stress.

There is not human data on this peptide and persons on an SSRI but both affect serotonin. She stopped on her own and within days felt 180 degree difference in mood.

Yes peptide therapy can be effective. Yes it must be personalized.

Yes people selling personalization are delivering partially personalized- in this case, at minimum, not considering impact of her medications.

Yes the research needed for interactions with medications is insufficient.

Yes you the patient and you the practitioner need to enter into an agreement to assess your symptoms ongoing to identify issues as early as possible.

Parents and caregivers, it’s the most wonderful time of the year 💪🏽😂✅ but the list of priorities and to-do’s can feel so overwhelming. That’s why I wanted to share the most important focus for your child(children) is NOT their nutrition especially lunch, it’s their sleep. Set a bedtime and protect it… even on the weekends, from now through the holidays (90 days yes that’s insane too). And while you are doing that for them, do it for you too. Their recovery time is essential for their body and will improve how it uses the fuel it gets, as well as what they crave. I’m deep in writing my next book “Your Kids Best Shot: How to Raise Weight Healthy Kids in the GLP-1 Era” based on 25 years experience with pediatric patients. This post is inspired by the chapter and research on how to optimize their recovery window and what it means for their weight health today and tomorrow. If you don’t want to wait for the book to help you and your kid(s) head to The Better Nutrition Program | Weight Health & GLP-1 and book a free first session to discuss our resources available now.

My patient asked me about this and in the last few years myself and nutrition practitioners The Better Nutrition Program | Weight Health & GLP-1 have been seeing so many patients who tried these options and didn’t get a 🎯
There’s a lot of people selling personalized plans or recommendations. The question you have to ask before investing is: is it partially or truly personalized? Neither one should guarantee outcomes but only one is going to build your plan off comprehensive assessment and that matters for your ROI.

I’m in the or phase of my life so when friends asked about a kayaking camping trip in the San Juan’s it was an easy one. I had NO IDEA I’d be stopped day one to wait for the orcas to pass or that I would learn so much about the land, its inhabitants (including raccoons that act like wild boar) and myself as we paddled between the islands, stopped to eat, swim, hike and disco ball headset silent rave. My chosen family are the most incredible humans, their friends becoming mine, and the new ones to us all fast become lifelong adventure friends. This one for sure falls under the “great decision, Ash” column. More to come as I trade paddles for poles and head up some trails for more adventures

Some AI is artificial intelligence or augmented intelligence. It’s sourcing info from everywhere and giving you answers. It will give you “right” answers yes but it won’t give you what you need to optimize your weight health because it doesn’t know what to ask you. It only knows how to give you answers. Thats type 1 AI. There’s type 2 AI that gets curious about you and your current health. It focuses on better questions and helping you design experiments and evaluate their insights. It’s what I call Ashley Intelligence… it’s what I’ve harnessed in the Weight Health Nutritionist on the Onix platform and it’s free for you to try. I wrote more about it The Better Nutrition Program | Weight Health & GLP-1 https://thebetternutritionprogram.com/blog/ai-personalized-nutrition-meal-weight-health-plan/

RMR, RER, Vo2 max, grip strength, bone muscle fat lbs vs % there are great numbers we can use to assess your weight health BUT in isolation or even together they tell several stories. The key is to use comprehensive assessment of you (digestion, health, choices and goals) to determine which is your story - that gives us the better interpretation and plan. That’s what I did yesterday Vida Integrated Health before my with Dr. Michelle Marie Leary I got the data I needed to help me put my plan together. I’ve got a 90 day optimization protocol for that I’m making accessible in the coming months and I wanted to show you all how it works. Stay tuned and comment “weight health” if you want to learn more.

Fiber goals should include the following: type, quantity and timing. They should also be personalized to your body today, your digestion, your medications and supplements — not your age and s*x.

“Ashley, is nattokinase something I need I’m seeing it everywhere?” My patient recently asked about thi supplement and in case it’s everywhere in your feed too I wanted to share my thoughts. It’s a great tool in our toolkit and now we can get it from chickpeas as well as soy making it an option for those who avoid soy. But don’t let an ad fool you. It’s not THE solution it’s a tool in the toolkit whether from food or as a supplement. for my article that connects all the dots especially for and
