#82You should check out FitMe - https://www.fitmelabs.com.
It's a cool device that allows you to track your body visually and easily understand how it progresses over time! Fits within your budget and I've found it to be super effective in tracking my body and getting a sense of how my body is changing.

#83Move to Rio de Janeiro :) I have seen that city change people's life for good both socially and health-wise. Yes, that could be a "startup".

#84I would hire whoever is the personal trainer of top celebrities (at the least the ones who look healthy)

#85I would focus on nutrition and exercise:
- hire a chef or use meal service. I know of a few companies locally which deliver premade chicken, beef, etc in all different styles. This beats takeout!
- hire a personal trainer at a gym. You probably don't need to be too picky, just get started doing something! As you get more experience you can adjust.
Good luck!

#86I would eat oats (for real, try it for a few weeks) every morning, hire a good coach and put $95000 to charity if it works.

#87Maybe eat some broccoli too? I agree sugar is terrible but be wary of extremes.

#88At $300/mo, that's
27 years of carnivore diet with high quality grass-fed meat from small regenerative farms. That's enough to get to a healthy body 20 times over.
The rest is nonsense. If you feel good and you have energy, when your body gets better from metabolic syndrome, everything else gets into place.
You don't need 100k to get better. Maybe spend half of it for a year of a live-in chef that can eliminate any kind of junk food temptation. No one would choose a Big Mac if they had someone to cook them really healthy and freshly cooked meals 2 times a day.

#89Carnivore is FOOLISH. There is no Scientific evidence whatsover that it benefits anything aside from short term weight loss, at the detriment of your health. I would get my whole genome sequenced and get a genetic counselor. Get a personal trainer and an expert on human performance (Get tested from athletic labs you can measure your VO2 max, RMR, Body composition and create a workout routine optimizing for longevity…
Some think that statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure https://cardiacos.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/2015-Statin...
Most think that statins do anything at all.
Most think that cholesterol and LDL is bad and the direct cause of cardiovascular disease.
Most just parrot wrong and frankly dangerous dietary advice. Choosing a dietary plan by throwing a coin is literally better than following the advice of most people, even doctors. Hell, we've gone from recommending low fat to vegan diets for health, while still demonising low carb diets because of misinformation that's 70 years old, and American religious lobbies pushing vegetarianism. Wikipedia still calls low carb diets a "fad", while no such moniker is attached to vegan diets that have only been possible since the 1930s with the discovery of vitamin B12 and its subsequent synthesis.

#90Change to a job that lets me work 30 hours/week for lower pay. Spend the extra 2 hours a day on gym and healthy meal prep, with a personal trainer for some percentage of the time.
That's what I would do, but I don't have any digestive issues, eat healthy already, and love the gym.
Figure out what is causing the chronic digestive issues and inflammation. Honestly, a strict carnivore diet sounds guaranteed to cause digestive issues. (The digestive system needs fiber.) An elimination diet to figure out what is causing the chronic digestive issues, with the help of a nutritionist and a doctor, would be a good place to start.
