Beautifully captured Dickon, and thank you for the eBook (it won’t go anywhere).
References for some of my contributions:

Things we didn’t even get to, but expect to at some stage:
– Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (author of Black Swan) >> totally rocked my world, suspect you might enjoy
– Very strong case for plant based diet by Michael Greger MD
– 4 Hour Body by Timothy Ferris >> where I started my body hacking journey (slow carbs, protein, cruciferous, blow out, but also stuff on sex etc.)
– Proteus Digital Health – end to end health monitoring, including blood composition via skin patches (warning: interesting but potential ufero)
– Scanadu – personal medical tricorder
– Ginger.io – behavioural health analytics platform
– Omada Health – evidence-driven, online preventive health programs
– Eatery by Massive Health – recently acquired by Jawbone, but previously doing some interesting things with diet, analytics and amazon’s mechanical turk (warning: interesting but potential ufero)
– Kaggle – data modelling competition platform (I’m mates with its founding chairman)
Rough vision for what I want to get going over the next 5 years (from diary post):
Over the next five years, I want to develop a health-generating, outcome-remunerated, scalable, for-profit enterprise dedicated to the effective (i.e. live outcome data and analytics, a la rapid learning health system), efficient (i.e. probably not involving doctors) optimization of population health through the application of mobile-mediated behavioural economics, epigenetics, ubiquitous sensors, real time, predictive analytics and the social determinants of health.

Notes from our lunch
CBT apps are as effective as face to face with professionals. Mood Gym
Body by science – Doug McGuff – high intensity, simple exercises.
Eatstop eat attached. A quick and easy read. I bought it, so please don’t forward it on to others just in case my name is encoded into the pdf somehow.
Leangains.com – 16-8 protocol. Obviously this guy is genetically gifted, but the fasting technique works for me too. The key is ‘never any guilt’ if you mess up one day, simply forget it and try the next day.
80/20 rule for weight loss 80% being diet, the 20% being exercise.
Vitality – south Africa – interesting model to approach insurance companies.
Your potential opportunity with the data analysis for medical insurance claims/fraud. Possibility for the same sales approach that they used in the stock trading world.
Cauli dabbed with macadamia oil in an 210 degrees fan oven. Crunchy yet still moistish in the centre. Excellent snack food. I suggested adding turmeric (curcumin) for it’s anti inflammatory characteristics. Though not to modify the taste as that is already in order.
Standing desks (we both use them and see the benefits).
Feel free to add what I missed.

Hi Paul,
I’m in Bangkok now.
However, on the 24th, 25th 26th, I’m in Singapore.
Does that overlap with your travel?
