The System I Use to Filter Health Information
Last week I wrote about how I decide what health information to trust. This week I want to show you the actual system.
It isn’t complicated. Three tools do most of the work.
Apple Health is the hub. Everything feeds into it — my CGM data, my workouts, my sleep. When I read a health claim, I can check it against my own numbers. That’s not available in any article. It’s only available in my own data.
Kagi is my search engine. It doesn’t sell ads. It doesn’t surface results based on who paid the most. I get cleaner results and less noise when I’m researching a topic.
DEVONthink is where I store what I’ve decided is worth keeping. Not bookmarks — actual documents, studies, articles I’ve read and tagged. When a topic comes up again, I have a real library to draw from instead of starting over from scratch.
That’s it. Apple Health tells me what’s true for my body. Kagi helps me find better information. DEVONthink helps me remember what I’ve learned.
Three tools. One farmer. Less noise.
