Examine.com is the closest analogue to what this site is trying to do, and as far as I know, it works. It takes a while, but if people develop trust in a product or website they value that deeply, and are even willing to throw money at it. I don't even consider trying to google a supplement; I'll just go to examine and look at the body of evidence, recommended dosages, etc. I've paid for Examine and I would pay for this.
Here's my point of feedback / wishlist item / thing I think is missing from the world. Examine is focused on supplements, which I don't actually care that much about. If my question is "How do I lower my fasting blood glucose", I don't want a list of what supplements help with that, I want a list of everything that helps with that. If daily cardio is 100X as effective as green tea catechins then IDGAF about green tea. Examine broadened a bit, but it's still very supplement focused, which can give the false impression that some supplement is the best way to approach some condition.
Going by the long covid example, it sounds like this glacierMD takes the broader focus of "here's all the things", which I absolutely love. And there could be a lot of value in that alone. But what I really feel is missing from the world is a comprehensive, salutogenic look at health. Yes I want to know what the best treatments are for long covid. But what I also really want to know is what is the rank ordered list of things I can do to develop and maintain a strong immune system. Or how do I lower my resting heart rate. What even is the optimal fasting blood glucose for that matter? Any searching you do will just tell you "above 100 mg/dL is prediabetic, 99 and below you're perfectly healthy".
Anyway, I love the demo. The author is correct that it is missing from the world. And I 100% think people would pay for it once it grows enough. I do just hope that it isn't purely build around a pathogenic way of thinking, like just about everything else in the medical world seems to be.
Hey that's awesome to hear! I saw the redesign but haven't really poked around much yet. If that's the direction examine is pivoting though I am very, very excited for it. Will definitely be checking it out.
