🪖 How AI Helped Me Take Back My Health (A Veteran’s Story)
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something personal from the last few weeks — something real, something that honestly changed my life.
About a month ago, I ended up having a medical emergency with my prostate. It was inflamed, painful, and honestly pretty scary. What hit me the hardest was realizing that even as a veteran, I couldn’t get immediate medical help. The VA couldn’t see me. The only place available was the emergency room, and even then, there was no long-term care or follow-up ready for me.
So I had to figure it out myself.
While I’m still waiting to get an actual appointment with urology, I decided I wasn’t going to sit around getting worse. I switched my diet, cut out inflammation triggers, started healing through herbs, teas, hydration protocols, and real food.
But the real game-changer?
AI. Specifically ChatGPT.
Every single day, as I go out searching for affordable, healthy food options, I’ve been using AI as a 24/7 health partner. I take pictures of food labels, ingredients, supplements, deals — and it breaks them all down for me.
It tells me:
– what helps my healing
– what slows it down
– what chemicals to avoid
– what foods cause inflammation
– what choices support recovery
– how much progress I’ve made
– how many weeks until full healing
– and it keeps me accountable
It’s like having a full-time nutritionist, herbalist, and health practitioner in my pocket — one that never gets tired, never judges, and always shows up.
If I didn’t have this tool, honestly…
I’d be making 50/50 guesses all day long.
And with my health? That’s not a gamble I can take.
Humans have failed me on the medical side more times than I can count. Appointments aren’t available. Help isn’t accessible. But this AI never leaves me hanging. It’s been a blessing — one I didn’t expect to rely on so heavily but now appreciate every day.
For anyone dealing with health issues, inflammation, chronic stuff, or just wanting to make better choices: explore the use of AI for yourself. Train it. Teach it your scenario. Let it help guide you.
The more it learns you, the more accurate it becomes.
And when you’re fighting for your health, that kind of support makes a world of difference.
Just wanted to share this in case it helps someone else out there. Stay strong, and keep taking your healing into your own hands. 🫶
