Welcome to episode 1 of Season 10. In this episode we discuss how you can effectively and within reasonable costs, track your health at home. We begin by having a chat about Clea’s pregnancy and NIPT (non- invasive pre-natal testing). This screens the foetus for any genetic abnormalities. This is an interesting discussion as it brings up difficult conversations you might have to have with your partner should the foetus come up with some kind of genetic abnormality. We then get into the main episode where we talk about using a blood pressure monitor, glucometer, and a humble thermometer to get a really good insight into your health. If you are a bodybuilder or even just very into your health and fitness, we highly recommend you incorporate these tools. We talk about the costs of buying a blood pressure monitor- where to get them. How to use it, what readings you should look for and what they mean. We discuss the costs of buying a glucometer and where to get one. How to use it, what results to expect and what they mean. We discuss all these tools in relation to pregnancy too and how they can be very useful at picking up blood pressure problems and gestational diabetes. We briefly touch on a thermometer and what this can tell you about your metabolism (and perhaps an episode later on using one for body literacy). All three of us use these tools to get a clear insight into our health and they allow us to be PROACTIVE; picking up potential health issues before they become big problems. We hope you find this useful!
