Pretty sure the entire post is too long to post here, so here's a summary
TL;DR: After 15 years of daily migraines and inconclusive medical tests, I used Home Assistant to build a custom food and symptom tracking dashboard with real-time logging via my phone. By logging everything I ate, drank, and felt, I gathered over 12,000 data points and uncovered strong correlations between my migraines and specific foods — especially gluten, dairy, and celery.
Hacking my Diet resolved my symptoms completely.
This post shows exactly how I built the system in Home Assistant with YAML, dashboards, and scripts, and how others can do the same to explore their own health mysteries.

Would love feedback or suggestions on how to improve this further or make it easier for others to replicate.
