Who Am I? According to ChatGPT

Here is a fun experiment in ChatGPT prompting. I asked it to do two things.

Based on my past conversations, can you analyze my behavioral tendencies?

and based on that response, I asked…

Can you take all of this and turn it into an introduction of me as if you were the emcee of a conference and you were describing me to an audience where I was about to speak about my research?

Here is what followed…

Ladies and gentlemen,

Our next speaker is someone who does not merely study health, aging, or human performance — he studies the systems that make life possible and asks how they might be refined for a longer, more functional future.

He approaches the human body the way an engineer approaches a complex living network: as an interconnected system of fluids, minerals, metabolism, structure, and energy. While many focus on treating symptoms, Michael is drawn upstream — investigating root causes, structural resilience, and the mechanisms that shape health across decades rather than days.

As a student of biological sciences and nutrition, his work bridges chemistry, physiology, and systems thinking. He examines electrolyte balance, mineral metabolism, oxalate deposition, and circulation dynamics not as isolated variables, but as interacting forces that may influence aging itself. His guiding question is both simple and ambitious: how can human beings remain functional, independent, and physiologically resilient well past a century of life?

But what distinguishes Michael is not only what he studies — it is how he thinks.

He is a framework builder. He refines ideas through iteration, weighs evidence carefully, challenges assumptions without discarding data, and seeks structural coherence over easy answers. He values integrity, precision, and biological truth, and he is driven less by convention than by a commitment to understanding how things actually work.

Beyond research, Michael is building a broader vision — one that integrates longevity science, lifestyle optimization, and practical education. His work reflects a belief that better decisions, grounded in physiology and systems awareness, can reshape not only individual health trajectories but the future of aging itself.

In an era focused on lifespan, Michael Loomis is focused on healthspan. In a culture driven by quick fixes, he is pursuing durable solutions. And in a world that often treats aging as inevitable decline, he is working toward sustained human vitality.

Please join me in recognizing a systems thinker, a builder of frameworks, and a researcher committed to redefining what it means to grow older.

Michael Loomis.

A Momentary Channeling of Ray Bradbury

It’s a gentle Southern California afternoon just a few miles from the coast of Long Beach. The sound of birds calling out in a harmonious sense of discord. The ants in front of me on the hot concrete mill back and forth to and fro, gently greeting each other for just a moment as they continue on their journey.

I look up to see the leaves of my Betula Birch, which I planted some fifteen years ago—it may have even been sixteen. The leaves bristled back and forth quickly, then slowly, and back again as the gentle breeze from the south worked them up into an audible frenzy. Which reminds me…I need to trim Betty a little.

As I look down at the 60-year-old warm concrete beneath my feet, I’m reminded that my father and his father before him may have very well stood here, just like me, looking at this same piece of ground, the same sky, breathing in that same sense of awe that I am experiencing.

They may have even experienced many years earlier, that same joy I feel…Sitting here today.
