@the.living.room.pod: Self-experimentation gets a bad reputation. But the problem isn't the concept — it's how people are applying it. In this conversation, Dr. Myles Spar breaks down an important distinction: there's a difference between experimenting with unproven, potentially harmful compounds and using what population research already supports to figure out what works for you specifically. When someone well-known stops a protocol because of side effects, it doesn't mean everyone should abandon the idea of personal testing. It means the goal of self-experimentation was never to go rogue. It was to take what the studies show works across many people and use that as your starting point. Population data gives you the map. Your own response tells you where you actually are on it. The research can point you in the right direction. But only you can determine what that looks like in practice.
