My March 2010 Quantified-Self Talk

Here it is. A 12-minute talk about what I’d learned recently from daily tests of mental function. Most of all, the value of butter.

    I bet all this butter can probably make you a better liar:

    Well, I tried challenging my body with 2 tbsp of butter yesterday after being dairy-free for a month. Half an hour after eating the butter (Strauss), I got a splitting headache, though not quite a migraine, that lasted for 9 hours. And I woke up in the middle of the night with a sore throat, stuffy nose, and wheezing. Both of these symptoms (headache/migraine and allergy-like symptoms) had been regular while I was eating cheese, and disappeared when I went dairy-free, but I wanted to do the butter test to see if it was the milk protein or something else. It’s something else, but what??
