i've got a bunch of relatively minor health issues that make it hard to function well (migraine, brain fog, IBS??, rhinitist/sinus issues, anosmia, eczema, mild food allergies, occasional bouts of reflux) that mainstream doctors write off as anxiety symptoms and/or prescribe mainly useless symptom management drugs for

a twitter rando sent me the name of a bay area naturopath (apparently recommended by a couple of rationalists) and i've booked a video appointment for feb. 28th; i live in southern california

UPDATES

Feb. 28, 2024
- appointment 1 complete!
- the naturopath wants a bunch of tests done
- she floated the possibility that i'd need to fly out in future to get a nasal swab for some kind of bacteria/fungus issue
- she thinks the issue is likely a gut one and that all the weird minor allergies are downstream of this
