Help!!!! Any advice appreciated!!! We just lost our strong lead in the HHS TOPx voting and I want to get the word out about what we're trying to do and what a difference it makes to get objective measures! Any tips appreciated (also votes and comments)!!! invisibleillness.crowdicity.…

When the team at @RenegadeRes reached out to us to collaborate on sample analysis, we didn't hesitate. In under 24 hours we had a plan in motion, kits shipped their way, and vendors prepped. The Renegade team worked just as quickly to make it happen.
Patient-led science means we all understand what's at stake with our work and why time matters. Millions of people are losing days to their symptoms. We are working rapidly to understand the biology of complex chronic conditions in an effort to find treatments that could help.
ChronicleBio is generating multi-omic data on samples collected during Renegade Research's Innovation Inn. It was a multi-day event where #MECFS patient-researchers deliberately tracked their own post-exertional malaise (PEM) to help characterize what happens in the body before, during, and after.
Across the event, the team collected 482 plasma, serum, and whole blood samples at multiple timepoints, alongside HRV, lactate, heart rate, blood pressure, and symptom data. We supplied collection kits for every timepoint, and our analyses will complement everything else being measured.
We're proud to be one of several partners contributing to this work, alongside @amaticahealth, Alden Scientific, Arden Bio, Infinity Bio, CDI Labs, Theriome, @imyoohealth, and an MIT team from @ImmunoFever’s MAESTRO project demoing nailfold capillaroscopy, WAVi EEG, and Right Eye tracking.

Great paper! I agree with everything.
I’m not sure if you saw our posts, but 2 weeks ago 5 of our team members purposely induced PEM and collected blood and urine over 4 days. We also did a bunch of other testing, like autonomic, stand tests with blood flow to the brain, lactate, cortisol, etc. and some of those we were able to do more than the 4 days. You can see more about the project with the hashtag #InnovationInn
I do think we will find clues to follow up on with larger studies. We already are starting to. This is the latest autonomic result that @BrainstemMd pulled out.
We will have a meeting for researchers soon where we will talk about what we did and what data we have. We want to get as many eyes on it as possible. We also have some extra serum and plasma samples banked in case anyone comes up with additional testing to run. I’ll send you an invite when we schedule it.

You're alone at home and having a heart attack. You have just 10-15 seconds to save your life. Here's what you must do immediately!

Rick Rubin has low heart rate variability.
So he looked up everything that raises it, picked one technique, and started doing it every day.
It worked.
The technique: coherence breathing. 10 to 20 minutes a day, at least once, sometimes twice.
Now he and @hubermanlab do it together on camera so you can follow along:

Many patients spend years treating #MCAS, #EBV, or chronic #inflammation.
The immune system doesn’t operate alone.
It’s regulated by the brain and autonomic nervous system.
If that's dysregulated, the immune system can become hypersensitive.
Sometimes the question is:
What is the brain doing?

The biggest needle mover for me has been finding 10 mins everyday to move out of sympathetic overdrive into parasympathetic paradise.
Easiest place to start?
4 sec inhale.
6 sec exhale.
10 min a day.
Just you, your breath & the present moment.
Don’t underestimate this.

Ozempic and GLP-1 cause weight loss via the vagus nerve. In people whose vagus nerve was surgically cut (below the diaphragm, not in the neck), GLP-1 did not reduce food intake or accelerate metabolism. These drugs work through the vagus, in ways we still do not fully understand.

At least 70% of patients with #LongCOVID have autonomic dysfunction The study is examining dysautonomia, not organ damage - a different topic entirely. #dysautonomia is a key feature of many disorders that involve fatigue and functional impairment. My paper on dysautonomia explains it all.

We agree with @BreathingByEd - your nervous system isn’t a mystery, it’s a signal.
When you learn to listen and regulate, safety replaces stress, and control replaces chaos.
@ReflexDAO, we turn those signals - heart rhythms, breath patterns, autonomic shifts - into real-time insight and collective knowledge so people can understand and train their own physiology.
From breath to data. From awareness to agency.

Health data doesn’t belong in silos.
It belongs to you.
Today we take another step toward that future -
The Reflex Android app is live.
Real signals.
Private by design.
Built for calm, powered by code.
Download the app → play.google.com/store/apps/d…
Join the data layer of human function.

Daily routine done right ☀️
🩺 Tested my @ReflexDAO R&D wristband again today
💤 Did a short relaxation + breathing session
💰 Earned some $BEAT tokens just by staying calm and breathing mindfully
That’s what I love about Reflex, it rewards you for taking care of yourself.
Your health data becomes something that benefits you and helps improve global health research. ⚕️

🚀 Just received my Reflex wearable, and I’m really happy with it!
It feels great to finally have it in my hands after following the project for so long.
The Reflex R&D Wearable isn’t just another smartwatch, it’s a real health companion that helps you understand your body, improve your habits, and even earn rewards for contributing to global health research.
From setup to daily use, everything feels smooth.
In just a few minutes, I connected it to the Reflex app and started tracking my heart rate, sleep, and daily activity.
The data feels accurate and easy to read, and the app goes beyond numbers, it actually helps you understand what’s happening with your body.
Here’s what I love most 👇
🩺 Assess – Clear picture of your health with real-time data and personalized insights.
💪 Improve – Guided exercises and daily habits that help you get healthier step by step.
🤝 Share – Securely share your health data with doctors or trusted communities, protected by blockchain, your privacy always stays yours.
It’s smart, secure, and surprisingly easy to use.
Plus, it’s part of something bigger, a vision where health and blockchain work together to create real-world impact.
Mike from Reflex mentioned in a live that they might join Get Real Season 3 on @peaq, and honestly, that would be an amazing fit. 👇

ReflexDAO is a health DePIN project that empowers users to earn from their health data while helping advance global health research.
I’m genuinely excited to see where this goes.
It feels like the start of something big, where taking care of your health also means being part of a positive change.

Great to see mainstream wearables closing the accuracy gap.
Next step: make the data privacy-preserving, interoperable, and open for research.
That’s @ReflexDAO’s domain.

Craniocervical instability (CCI) & atlantoaxial instability (AAI) may drive complex chronic conditions yet remain under-researched.
The CODA CCI Initiative will study how head–neck instability impacts whole-body health to unlock better care & hope.

Your HRV, sleep & heart rhythms aren’t just numbers — they’re early warnings.
@ReflexDAO makes them research-grade without giving up privacy.
Data in vaults
AI runs locally
Community owns breakthroughs

DataFi isn’t just about flows-it’s about frameworks for collective intelligence.
@ReflexDAO enables agents (human + machine) to reason, react, and regenerate onchain.
