269. My honest experience with wearing an Oura ring
About this Episode
Today's topic is one that has come highly requested: an honest review of my experience wearing an Oura Ring. I have been wearing mine since February, and it’s impacted me much more than I ever imagined!
If you’re curious about what an Oura Ring is, think of it as a high-tech Fitbit but in ring form, tracking everything from your sleep patterns, to your activity, to your heart rate, to your overall health and recovery scores. In this conversation, I share how I've been so surprised with how many changes I've made in my life as a result of the data I've learned from it: from going to bed earlier to balancing intense workouts with gentle movement to my nighttime routine (and more!) the Oura Ring has been a game-changer. If you’re looking for a comprehensive health tracker, this might just be it!
Also in this episode, I also talk about a new website I recently discovered, a book I'm reading, share some listener feedback, talk about a documentary we're watching that really unsettled me, and tell you about our recent ABC date night. (It was the letter I and we ate Indian food and watched The Imitation Game, a film that left us deep in thought and caused us to have some good conversations.)
