Experimenting with GCMs is by far the most useful and fun biohacks I've tried. I was part of the early beta for Levels Health.
Even if you don't suspect underlying health issues, the data provided for health optimization and gamification is worth it.
I used the GCM for 4 weeks and mostly tested how my body responds to various types of foods and meal timing. I also used an Oura ring to track sleep.
Main lessons learned: fat loading in the morning with a bulletproof (ghee) coffee didn't spike glucose and provided sustainable energy. Carbs for dinner helped with sleep but only if the meal was several hours before bed, allowing enough time for the double glucose spikes to return to baseline.
And Japanese sweet potatoes massively spike my glucose unless they're slightly undercooked. Cooking methods significantly changed how my body responded to the food.
