This blog is mainly written by me, The Allergician, and chronicles my health journey after discovering I was allergic to my dear cats around 2005. When doctors advised me to separate from my cats, I was devastated.
Instead, I decided to find methods to mitigate allergy. I found that lifestyle changes can do that. One year later I was virtually free from cat allergy symptoms. Also, people report success with other allergies, including pollen. In the process, I lost -8 kg in two months with a full belly and no exercise, and gained numerous other health advantages, and therefore I am much more satisfied with my life today.
Today I consider becoming allergic to cats as one of the best things that happened to me.
In 2017, my life became very stressful. During 2017-2022, for the majority of nights, I awoke at 03:00 am and could not fall asleep for several hours. I decided to find methods to decrease stress, so I could sleep. I made further lifestyle changes and since 2022, I can now sleep 90% of all nights, even in periods of high stress.
In this blog I want to share some of my greatest tips. As a computer scientist, I am mainly interested in methods based on science and published research papers. So, if you have allergy or a stressful life, this blog might help eliminate health problems that limit your potential, and unlock a better life. Allergy or sleeping problems hampers your professional performance, which decrease your economic growth. A good health is important for a better mood, an improved career, higher energy levels, better relationships, etc.
For an overview of all the health problems for humans and pets that will be addressed on the blog, go to Health selection.
As diet is a large part of the key to a better health, not to mention a source of joy in general, you will also find posts from my girlfriend Little Woman here on the blog, as she shares some kick-ass recipes. If you’re lucky, she will provide some travel inspiration too, based on our many trips around the world.
