Reprogramming your Self is an App for daily use in order to step out of the circle of constantly repeating your past and consciously creating a new state of being – thus creating a new future, of course! We keep creating the future constantly and in every single second with our thoughts and feelings as well as with our beliefs and perceptions. With the morning meditation you will get yourself into a coherent state of alpha or theta brainwaves. In those states you will be far more susceptible for suggestions. Your brain will be recalibrated automatically when you do this meditation of open space and you can gear your new Self-consciously towards the new day. During your evening meditation you will get into the present moment and linger in the emptiness of quantum space. As the observer you allow the day to pass by as you become an awareness of possibilties. In that state you will create the next day, your future. Use the meditation for changing your perceptions and beliefs to move into a new state of being. You will do this by marrying a clear intention with a higher emotion. This App will provide you with a range of options in order to get focussed on a specific goal. We are able to influence any condition as well as our outside reality using our mind alone simply by changing our old beliefs and patterns and our perceptions of ourselves and our environment. This App contains: - Morning meditation - Evening meditation - Meditation for changing your convictions and beliefs about yourself - Capacity to write down your goals - Mapping your results daily - Evaluation and statistics - Background information for changing your beliefs and perceptions Note: The Meditations are the same as on the CD or MP3-Download "You are the Placebo #2".We have split the Meditations in the App for a easier daily use into Morning, Evening and Changing Beliefs-Meditation.

Ampulix is the precision tracker for peptide protocols, GLP-1 therapies, and hormone regimens. Cycling schedules, vial inventory with supply runway, syringe-unit math, injection-site rotation, a tamper-proof dose ledger, smart reminders, and AI label scanning. Built for users who take their protocols seriously. KEY FEATURES Protocols & dosing • Create protocols for peptides, GLP-1s, hormones, and more — pick from a built-in catalog of 50+ compounds with FDA/NEJM/PubMed citations, or roll your own. • Smart scheduling with cycling support (on-weeks / off-weeks, custom days, daily, weekly). • Fractional doses (0.05, 0.375 — your call) entered with a keypad or +/- stepper. • Syringe-unit math everywhere: enter a dose in mg/mcg/units and Ampulix shows the syringe reading (e.g. 375 mcg = ~5 units on a U-100 syringe). • Scan a vial label or care plan with AI to auto-create a protocol — recognized compounds resolve to the catalog automatically. Reminders that respect your protocol • Daily reminders via push or email — skipped on days you've already logged. • Cycle progress and adherence streaks built into every reminder (Day 5 of 28, 14-day streak). • Per-reminder method (push, email, or both) and per-protocol time of day. • Low-supply email alerts so you can reorder before a vial runs dry. Vial inventory & supply runway • Runway bar and projected run-out date; set a reorder lead time and Ampulix flags you in time. • The Today screen surfaces protocols approaching empty. History, trends & outcomes • Complete dose ledger with undo (soft-void — your history is preserved). • Injection-site rotation with recency tracking. • Streaks, adherence percentage, and missed-dose counts. • Rate symptoms (mood, energy, sleep, libido, joint pain, focus, appetite) and see how each protocol is correlating with them. • HealthKit sync: weight, body fat, BMI, HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep stages. • Trends "Your Protocols" view shows each protocol's biggest mover — once you've been dosing for a full week. Export & sharing • PDF report with your full dose history, tracked outcomes, sources, and a provider-friendly summary. • Export the same report as an image (PNG) — drop your progress into a text, forum, or community post. Account & security • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. • Encrypted in transit; row-level security in the database — only you can read your protocols. • Dark mode and system theme.
