But a lot of my health needs have changed in the last six months or so.

And so coming back to it, the fact that I can upload all of my medical records on there, the fact that I can talk to it about my medications and how they are affecting me and how they are affecting my training plan.

And it's actually been incredibly informative in terms of like things that I need to do and how I need to think about my nutrition, my protein goals, my hydration and a lot of the side effects that I've been having.

And I am always going to caution people.

And there's a lot of like disclaimers within the Google Health app that this is not medical advice.

I can make mistakes.

That AI health is best used as a tool in between doctor visits that you absolutely do have to fact check everything, which one thing I do like is that whenever I have been asking these deeper queries about medical conditions that I have, there are source links that I can then tap into.

And I was like, oh, my God, if I had this.

10 years ago, I think I would have had a much easier time advocating for myself at various doctor's appointments and having much more fruitful and productive conversations with my doctors.

I would feel more collaborative in my health care.

So I have had a, by and large, positive experience with the revamped Google Health app.

There are many things that I think

Need to evolve over time because I do stress test these things and I did run up against certain things where it's like, ha ha, I can't handle that.

One of the updates now is that you can upload lab results.

And the sad fact of the U.S.

healthcare system is that not every doctor works in a system that has agreed to share these lab results.

So this has clear the same thing as your airport for identification security where you can kind of upload your records.

So I uploaded records starting from 2016 into Google Health.

But I switched doctors because I have had dissatisfactory experiences with various doctors.

And my most recent doctor, who I am having a much more positive experience with, her clinic has not learned to share these lab results with these systems.
