Key Takeaways:
Biohacking is when we take science, technology, nature, and use it to enhance our physicality and our health.
Wearable technology is great for people who love data, but also works well for people who prefer to read the headlines.
If you have a high resting heart rate, you will likely not have healthy rate variability.
You should know your resting heart rate as a measure of your health, because there’s a lot of information you can gather by knowing it.
Data compiled from different types of technology can be used to paint a more detailed picture of your health.
Wearable technology is useful for ensuring you reach adequate levels of recovery and stress.
Wearable tech data helps you back up subjective measures of wellness.
Wearable technology should be used to track lifestyle balance and overall wellness.
Tech-gathered data can be used to help you anticipate a forthcoming issue or illness.
If you get caught up in the data or have anxiety around fluctuating numbers, wearable technology may not be for you.
Action Steps:
If you want to try out some wearable tech, consider these three options:
* Oura Ring - a guide for sleep, activity, and nervous system regulation.
* Apple Watch - heart rate, heart rhythm, and measures of movement.
* Firstbeat Life - for balancing stress and recovery.
