Why you should listen –
Could something as small as a ring capture truly meaningful data about what’s happening deep inside our bodies? According to Petteri Lahtela, the CEO and co-founder of Oura Health, the answer is YES, with the advent of the OURA Ring. OURA, a wearable ring device and app, analyzes sleep quality, activity levels, daily rhythms and the physiological responses of the body. In this fascinating conversation, Petteri joins Dave to discuss how far bio monitoring technology has come, the variety of body responses the ring’s tiny sensors can track, and the value in using this data to optimize wellness. You’ll learn how tapping into your individual biology can help drive self-awareness, and guide you towards a better life balance and readiness to perform. From the importance of tracking heart rate variability, to embracing our chronotypes, to the EMFs all our devices give off, Dave and Petteri dig in deep and debate it all in this amazing, forward-thinking discussion.
