Looking forward to experimenting

Quantified Self QS newcomers

Hi, I’m Jimmy.

I’ve been to a few QS meet ups in Orange County, California.

I became aware of QS from the paleosphere. I’ve been eating mostly paleo and doing HIIT workouts for about 2 years now. I’ve also experimented lightly with earthing, meditation, supplements, and sleep hacking.

I am interested in doing some further experiments to see what data comes from it.

I plan on doing a 30 day trial of daily meditation, and I’m curious what data would be useful to quantify from it, and how to get such data.

Any advice would be welcome
