I have been taking a gradually increasing batch of supplements for more than 50 years. I was taking calcium and magnesium for muscle cramps and height shrinkage. Around age 55 I read that boron helps utilization of cal/mag and bond building. I added 3 mg. a day and back pain and the occasional cramps went away. Around age 75 I started having back pain again and occasional knee tenderness. I added another 3 mg. boron with my night supplements. I am now 86 and the back and knee issues have been gpme all this time.
Good that you lost 30 lbs, but bad that you got gall stones. If you seriously reduced your fat consumption to lose that weight, that could have influenced the gall stones. Fat in the diet causes the gall bladder to dump gall and thus prevent stone formation. I wonder if the amount of Omega 3 fatty acid was sufficient to help the gall bladder dump its load, especially when you reduced the dose by half? Glad everything seems to be working well now for you.
Right now great diagnostics are available. Those diagnostics/tests are what will enable people to fine tune their medications/diet/exercise etc. As well, the ability to plug your bloodwork and such into an AI is already available. That helps. But it’s all first-generation stuff.
In a couple years the test numbers coupled with the AI at a reasonable price point will make for pretty radical shift in the medicine is done. Everything will be individually targeted rather than the one size fits all strategy.
