I'm not trying to be for or against alcohol consumption. This drug is just super interesting. I've intentionally focused my AI inquiries around the metabolism and epigenetics of use. However, addiction is such a hot topic - it bleeds in a little bit, so far, regardless of how I edit the prompt!

This is a thing with AI, right? It guesses what you mean by your prompt, then attempts a reasonable response.

There is some really interesting stuff near the end about how social pressure causes people to ignore straight-up illness to still consume.

Are you a night owl living in an early bird world? Or perhaps a morning lark working 3rd? How your circadian rhythm works, how sleep, melatonin and caffeine hack that cycle.

Includes a great rabbit trail about how sleep evolved, and why we need it.

In this one, my AI characters really dig into research, and use more scientific terms in their conversation. They've also given themselves jobs. I am a certified genomic nutritionist. My AI does not have clients, an office or research lab. No actual genetic counselors or research scientists were brought in during the recording of this podcast. However, I get much better answers to my queries when they "speak as" such people.

An AI overview of research around the intersection of our gut microbiome, personal genetics and nutrition.

I asked AI for peer-reviewed articles about triglycerides.

1. What are they?
2. How does the process work?
3. What do they do in the human body?
4. How might our individual genetics affect that process?
5. If we have an unfortunate genetic allotment, what can we do - so far as lifestyle and exercise tweaks - to kind of mitigate that.

This is what she brought back.

For the record, not all these tests were done on humans. Not all mammals respond to things exactly the same way humans do, but it's generally not way far off. This recording represents a snapshot in the greater scientific conversation. That may change next week, or even tomorrow. It will definitely change as we get farther down the calendar from today.

This is not medical advice; I'm not a doctor. I am certified in genomic nutrition.
