Rep. Nancy Mace@RepNancyMace·
The FAKE NEWS loves to make assumptions and just plainly make things up about me, my personal life or my health. I have a lifelong condition called HEMOCHROMATOSIS. It’s a genetic condition where my body absorbs too much iron. Any alcohol consumption accelerates my body’s iron absorption and puts stress on my organs which are already working overtime to manage my body’s excess iron. So, I don’t drink much. Never have. Not because of some scandal. Not because of some secret. Because of actual science and my health. But that’s not a salacious headline. And rather boring. “Congresswoman manages genetic disease responsibly” doesn’t get clicks. So instead of printing the truth, which the NY Mag had, they imply whatever personal grievances and smear my reputation because the news cycle doesn’t control me. Neither does the establishment. This is what media does. They don’t fact check. Don’t use information and witnesses at their disposal. My responsible living doesn’t fit their narrative. They’d rather see me destroyed than see the truth. Roughly 1 in 200 Americans have Hemochromatosis and don’t know it. If you are of Irish or Scottish descent you’re at a much higher risk. The disease is manageable with frequent Phlebotomies or bloodletting. And we mean frequent. But it also means you can’t drink much or be an alcoholic. Or it’ll cause significant disease and cancer. So the next time someone tries to guess my drinking habits, now you know, it’s not a story, it’s a lot of bloodwork.

Honestly have to give @function (Function Health) 1/5 stars. Tried it, spent thousands of dollars, never received results, only option is to have a conversation with a primitive chat bot which never resolves the issue. And no way to cancel on the web site...

Just got my blood drawn. I asked the Quest technician how many clients they get from Function Health. Her answer: “A lot. More than 25% of patients come from Function every day.” There's so much opportunity in the picks and shovels of "prosumer" health.

Here's why I'm investing in consumer health tech: 1. Cultural tailwinds drive awareness. Increasingly health is the topic of conversation. Popular podcasts like Huberman's show strong demand for education. GLP-1s opened the floodgates for peptide adoption (and alternative treatments broadly). The future of health is self-directed as more consumers explore solutions outside of their primary care doctor. 2. Data drives engagement. Today we have tools to measure our health: Wearables (e.g. Oura, Apple Watch), CGMs (e.g. Levels), blood testing (e.g. Function Health), full-body MRIs (e.g. Ezra, Prenuvo), DEXA scans (e.g. BodySpec), and others to provide insight into how treatments or lifestyle changes are helping. Consumers need feedback loops to stick with it, especially if it requires a behavior change. 3. AI. I know. AI has become the blanket answer to "why now" but it will change everything. No doctor is a specialist in every domain yet the body is a complex organism. AI that knows all your data (thanks to #2 above), medical history, and the latest in scientific discoveries will have a far more comprehensive POV than any human to provide the best guidance. And it'll be available 24/7. 4. I'm getting older. And the older I get the more health becomes a priority. Example: I had some knee issues a few years ago. That led me to try BPC-157 and TB-500, introducing me to a world of peptides therapies. Modern health experimentation is fascinating and fun. One of my favorite WhatsApp groups is a collection of friends sharing their health protocols and experiments. 5. The market is huuuuge. No qualification needed here.

@nateliason my understanding is that over donating can have significant negative effects (low ferritin, anemia), but i'm curious about the potential benefits

Given the potential health benefits of donating blood (esp. for men) I'm surprised no techy health company has popped up focused on driving & incentivizing blood donations. You can imagine how it could be gamified, loop in blood testing in one visit...
