James walks through how he built a custom GPT that knows his blood work, health goals, and red lines — and how it recently told him to stop taking glycine.
In this episode, you'll see:
- How to build a custom GPT that acts as your personal supplement advisor
- A prompting technique that compensates for gaps in your own knowledge
- Why stacking similar supplements can work against you (and how AI catches it)
- How to design 8-12 week experimental review protocols with pass/fail criteria
- When to default to your doctor and when AI is the better prep tool
