Mikään ei yhdistä tätä kansakuntaa yhtä paljon kuin se että meitä vituttaa. Ja kun oikein miettii ja kaivelee niin meitä vituttaa todella paljon, usein ja mitä pienimmätkin jutut. Seuraavan jakson aikana kuitenkin tähän kansansairauteen nimeltä: Vitutus, koitetaan etsiä yhdessä parannuksia ja ainakin muutama asia saadaan jälleen ratkottua studiossa. Saraa vituttaa junaan rynnivät ihmiset, huonot internetit.. Saarinen puolestaan lappaa pöytään Oura-sormuksen ja huonon näön, mutta ei hätää: Ongelmat on tehty ratkottavaksi. Tämän jakson jälkeen olo on kevyempi ja meillä on muutama murhe jälleen vähemmän. Vitun hauskaa viikonlopun jatkoa! Jakso on tuotettu yksinoikeudella Podmelle. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on throwback-jakso podcastin alkuvaiheilta. Nikotellen -podcastin tuoreita jaksoja löydät Podmesta.

Happy Wednesday, it's time for our weekly chat, wahooo.A recent piece in the New York Times asked Is All of This Self-Monitoring Making Us Paranoid? It was all about wearable health technology such as Oura rings. Oura rings are smart devices worn on the finger that contain sensors so you can track over 20 biometrics such as sleep, movement, body temperature, stress, menstrual cycles and something called daily readiness. They're between around £350 and £500, which I don't believe covers a subscription to data and insights, which is an additional monthly or yearly fee, and they promise to “empower you to prioritise your long term health goals and build healthy habits that will last a lifetime.” The New York Times piece is really interesting, and explores how this kind of data isn't always a gateway to good physical health habits, but can for some people, increase their anxiety and unhealthy body monitoring habits. We get into it and hear from you, the listeners, too!We hope you enjoy, and as always please do follow + review the show on your podcast player app as it helps others to find the podcast :)O,R,B xIs All of This Self-Monitoring Making Us Paranoid?

Acer FreeSense Ring, un anillo inteligente que presentó Acer en Computex Taipei 2025. Mide ritmo cardíaco, variabilidad del pulso, saturación de oxígeno y fases de sueño. Fabricado en titanio ultraligero, sin suscripciones.Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Acer FreeSense Ring monitoriza el pulso, oxígeno y sueño sin suscripción con IA en anillo de titanio ultraligero. Computex es la feria tecnológica más grande de Asia, que se celebra cada año en Taipéi. En su edición 2025, Acer presentó el FreeSense Ring, un anillo inteligente de titanio que pesa entre dos y tres gramos. Usa sensores ópticos con luces verdes y rojas para medir el ritmo cardíaco, la variabilidad del pulso, los niveles de oxígeno en sangre y la calidad del sueño. La información se transmite por Bluetooth de baja energía a una aplicación móvil que usa inteligencia artificial para generar gráficos y recomendaciones de actividad y descanso. Cuenta con certificación IP68, lo que permite usarlo en ducha o natación recreativa, y estará disponible en tallas del siete al trece y en acabados negro brillante y oro rosa mate. Sin tarifas mensuales, pero con fecha de lanzamiento y precio pendiente. Imagina llevar un aro de titanio en tu dedo que pesa menos que una moneda y no nota al tacto. Ese aro es el FreeSense Ring de Acer. Dentro, luces verdes y rojas realizan mediciones ópticas de tu pulso y del flujo sanguíneo. El anillo captura datos sobre tu ritmo cardíaco minuto a minuto, calcula la variabilidad del pulso para evaluar recuperación y bienestar, y mide la saturación de oxígeno en sangre. Durante la noche, analiza las fases de sueño ligero, profundo y REM. Toda la información se envía por Bluetooth de bajo consumo a la app de Acer, donde la inteligencia artificial traduce esos datos en gráficos claros y sugerencias simples para normalizar tu rutina de sueño y actividad diaria, sin cargos ni suscripciones adicionales. El mercado de dispositivos para monitoreo personal de salud está cada vez más competido. Marcas consolidadas como Oura y Samsung dominan la categoría de anillos inteligentes. El FreeSense Ring de Acer llega como una alternativa sin tarifa mensual, pero enfrenta desafíos. Primero, no se ha anunciado un precio definitivo ni una fecha exacta de lanzamiento, lo que genera incertidumbre entre compradores interesados. Segundo, las tallas del anillo abarcan del siete al trece, pero elegir la medida adecuada en línea puede complicar la experiencia de compra. Tercero, la duración de la batería se sitúa entre cinco y siete días, una cifra sólida pero inferior a algunos competidores que ofrecen hasta diez días. Finalmente, aunque la certificación IP68 garantiza resistencia al agua y al polvo, los usuarios profesionales de deportes extremos pueden requerir pruebas de durabilidad adicionales. Estas incógnitas pueden impactar en la adopción temprana del FreeSense Ring, pese a sus ventajas tecnológicas. Acer se posiciona con el FreeSense Ring como un jugador novedoso en el campo de los wearables de salud. Su propuesta de valor radica en un diseño ultraligero de aleación de titanio y en la ausencia de una suscripción mensual: todo el análisis de datos y las recomendaciones se despliegan en la aplicación móvil sin coste adicional. La certificación IP68 permite usarlo en la ducha o nadar en la piscina, sin temor a dañarlo. La disponibilidad en tallas del siete al trece y en dos acabados estéticos —negro brillante y oro rosa mate— amplia su atractivo para usuarios de diferentes edades y estilos. La aplicación acompaña cada métrica con gráficos intuitivos y sugerencias de descanso o actividad, apoyadas por inteligencia artificial desarrollada por Acer. Aunque queda pendiente conocer el precio y la fecha de venta, la presentación en Computex sitúa al FreeSense Ring en el radar de consumidores interesados en tecnología de punta para el cuidado personal. Si Acer cumple con un lanzamiento cercano a los 300 dólares, este anillo tiene potencial para convertirse en una opción popular entre quienes buscan un monitoreo discreto y completo de su salud diaria. El FreeSense Ring forma parte de la división Acer Gear, responsable de productos innovadores más allá de computadoras tradicionales. En Computex 2025, Acer Gear también reveló los AI TransBuds, auriculares inalámbricos capaces de realizar traducción de voz en tiempo real en hasta quince idiomas. Estos auriculares y el anillo comparten un estuche de carga magnética con puerto USB-C, que completa una carga en aproximadamente una hora. El anillo, certificado con IP68, soporta polvo y sumersiones de hasta cincuenta metros, apto para natación recreativa. Está construido en titanio grado 5, material empleado en implantes médicos por su excelente relación resistencia-peso de 280 MPa por gramo. Con un peso de solo dos a tres gramos, se siente casi imperceptible. La app de Acer, compatible con Android 11 y versiones superiores, e iOS 15 y posteriores, procesa los datos sin enviar información a servidores externos, garantizando privacidad. FreeSense Ring ofrece monitoreo integral de salud sin suscripciones ni costes ocultos. Con sensores avanzados, diseño ultraligero de titanio e integración Bluetooth en una app con IA, promete transformar tu rutina de descanso y actividad. Pese a precio y lanzamiento pendientes, su debut en Computex Taipei 2025 lo posiciona como una opción atractiva en wearables de salud.
This episode is a full-on catch-up as Chalene answers the most asked questions from her community. From testing four different smart fitness rings at once, to navigating mold-related health drama, unpacking after eight moves, and breaking down the real deal on GLP-1s and micro-dosing — nothing's off limits. She also opens up about stepping back from travel plans, why true rest matters, and spills some behind-the-scenes tea on the book-writing world. It's a packed episode that's honest, unfiltered, and unexpectedly helpful.
Ever wake up after a full 8 hours and still feel like a groggy, overworked version of yourself? Optimizing sleep is something I've worked hard at, and now I've cracked the code to get high-quality rest almost every night.

Some tips you've probably heard before (no tech before bed!) but I also share the lesser known practices that aren't talked about - the nitty gritty microchanges you can make TODAY that have enormous potential impact. If you're done settling for restless nights and tired mornings, this episode will give you the exact practices to reclaim your rest and your freaking life.

Today's episode was inspired by a super juicy question I got on Instagram (shoutout to Julie)! The question I knew I had to dive into here was: “Why do some people burn more calories than others?”Our society definitely has an obsession with calorie burn AND fitness trackers. I don't care if it's your Apple Watch, Fitbit, or even my beloved Oura ring - NONE of them are giving you a perfect read on your calorie burn!Your calorie burn is influenced by a variety of factors personal to YOU - muscle mass, metabolism, and stress & hormone levels are just a few. Continuously chasing calorie can actually work against you - especially if you have a goal of building muscle! So…if you're in your muscle-building era (which I would LOVE to hear if you are), don't sabotage it by trying to burn as many calories as possible. This episode is your permission slip to break free from the calorie-burn trap and chase goals that actually support YOUR body and life - I know you can do it!!In this episode, we cover:Realizing that your tracking device for calorie burn is NOT 100% accurateWhy your calorie burn is personal + influenced by multiple factorsWhy chasing calorie burn isn't an effective strategy for youChoosing workouts you truly enjoy + can stay consistent withWhy working harder doesn't always equal working smarterAvoiding long-term calorie deficitsLinks/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

You could, in many ways, picture India's tech businesses venturing into the global stage in waves. First, there were the services companies. Your Wipros and Infosys and the like. Then, startups such as Zomato, Oyo, and Ola took their shot. The third wave was headlined by SaaS companies like Zoho and Freshworks. What does the fourth wave look like? What does the future hold for companies making the jump? This week's episode of Two by Two was our attempt to answer some of those questions. Our guests for the podcast ended up adding quite a bit more. Mohit Kumar is founder and CEO of Ultrahuman, best known for its smart rings which compete with the likes of Oura and Samsung, but also offering a wide range of other devices and products for health-conscious buyers.Lal Chand Bisu is the co-founder and CEO of Kuku FM, a mobile-first premium audio platform hosting content in multiple Indian languages.Two very different companies, with one bold bet in common: they chose to take their products global.

On this week's episode of the Modern Retail Podcast, the staff is going deep into modern marketing strategies. First up, executive editor Anna Hensel and senior reporter Gabriela Barkho talk about what was top of mind for executives at the Modern Retail Marketing Summit. Tariffs -- and how to respond to them -- were a hot topic of discussion. Marketers batted around ideas like adding a tariff surcharge to orders, pressing pause on some collaborations to save resources and taking a surgical approach to cutting SKUs. In some cases, they are still pushing forward on marketing spend while competitors pull back. Speakers from brands like Oura, Chobani and Bark also talked about their approach to growing their retail businesses, as they use insights from their DTC business to inform their pitch to retailers, and use their wholesale businesses to introduce themselves to new types of customers. Then, in this week's featured segment (19:42), Hanna Andersson's chief customer officer, Lisa Perlmutter, talks about how the premium children's apparel brand built its first-ever loyalty program.
What if you don't need to work harder/try more/give more... but adjust your beliefs to become extra magnetic? Maybe it isn't about MAKING it happen, but letting it happen by matching the frequency and upgrading your self-image. Let's dive in. And on that topic of ease, I also talk about a side note on my health journey - shared with no medical/scientific background, just a pal sharing what worked for her! My stress levels (as documented by my Oura ring) have PLUMMETED and I share what I've tried/added, specifically for liver detox/regulating cortisol. AGAIN, I'M NOT A DOCTOR! :) Join us in the premier Dreamaway Membership for so many resources including 40+ Dreamaway-exclusive Slingshot Sessions (90 minutes of deep-dive subconscious rewiring/EFT tapping), visualizations, 40+ tapping "Money Dates" (abundance programming), daily tapping videos, weekly energy readings, astrological updates, and so much more! https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway @dreamawaymembership on IG Pre-order my upcoming book, You Have the Magic: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/haley-hoffman-smith/you-have-the-magic/9780762489213/?lens=running-press @haleyhoffmansmith on IG/TikTok April in Dreamaway: Ease & Magnetism Month From Forcing to Allowing: The Ease & Magnetism Activation | Saturday, April 26th 12:00-1:30pm ET In this potent 90 minute session, we'll be installing new beliefs: that maybe, just maybe, it can be EASY. You can be a MAGNET to what you want. Just via your energy, your BEING over your DOING, you can easily and naturally walk the magic carpet of life. Imagine…instead of the hustle, the need to MAKE IT HAPPEN, you can simply align your energy to what you want, receive inspired action, and the doors will open. You'll attract everything you need for your success. I'm imagining Tinkerbell just lightly tapping a door with her little magic wand, instead of Hulk coming through to try to destruct the door. THIS IS POSSIBLE FOR US! But our beliefs must align — which is a part 2 of Self Image month. What we believe of ourselves comes true every, single, time. So…yeah! We are POWERFUL MAGNETS! What's Time Got to Do With It? Money Date | Thursday, April 17th 5:00-6:00pm ET In this money date, we'll deconstruct the age-old notion that time & money must somehow correlate. I.e., that we must put in a certain number of hours to yield a certain payout, or put in extra hustle to unlock wealth. Because what if it could be SO MUCH EASIER? This is like the “It's Allowed to be Easy” money date on steroids: all about easily & naturally making more money in sparkly, “oh, wow, look at that!” ways, and releasing the need to work to the bone for it, or believe there must be a trade off. Visualization: Doors Swing Open | Wednesday, April 9th, 8:00-8:30pm ET In this visualization, you'll be guided to imagine your dream manifestation on the other side of a door. But, you don't need to wrestle with this door to get it open. You can simply embody the belief and truth that you are worthy of all you've ever wanted — and the door swings open. Let's deepen into trust, allowing, and our natural magnetism.

Market Proof Marketing · Ep 374: Messaging, Metrics & MomentsJen Barkan joins the podcast this week for a very special episode with Julie Jarnagin and Kevin Oakley. In Story Time, Julie highlights the importance of detailed messaging, referencing a builder survey on buyer preferences, while Kevin stresses having strong systems first, and Jen shares insights from National OSC Day and a creative prospecting strategy. In The News covers Q4 Benchmarks, a Homes By Dickerson award-winning case study, shifts in commission post-NAR settlement, and debates over Super Bowl ad spending. And finally, in Things We Love - Things We Hate, Julie shares her journey in making King cake, Kevin shares exciting news about an upcoming trip to Guatemala, and Jen finds both value and stress in her new Oura smart ring. Story Time (00:37): Julie has been deep-diving into messaging with builders, and emphasizes that in today's market, we need to be really paying attention to those small details. They discussed a builder who surveyed a VIP list, and saw that 70% of those surveyed wanted a house that was 3,000 sq. ft. or lower, and didn't care about pendant lights. They detail the importance of sharing that messaging, and how profound that process was for their company.Kevin "double clicks" on making sure your systems and processes are down first, which allows you to then focus on your messaging. Jen shares our recent celebrations surrounding National OSC Day that took place on February 9th, and a recent prospecting strategy she utilized with an OSC, and how they worked around a tricky on-site scheduling barrier.Did you know there are over seven events listed currently on DYC's website? Kevin shares details about an upcoming speaking appearance, and a special breakfast event happening at the 2025 International Builders' Show. In The News (21:02): Q4 Benchmarks and 2024 Wrap-Up Online Sales remains a constant in a changing market. From Q3 to Q4, appointments from aged leads increased from 19% to 24%.Homes By Dickerson Case Study Julie shares the builders' dedication to their local Parade of Homes, and how the challenge was creating visuals for homes that weren't built yet. Inspired by boutique hotels, each home had a different curated theme. The builder is up for a NAHB Silver Award. Here's what else a $7M, 30-second Super Bowl budget can purchase in 2025They discuss whether a Super Bowl commercial is a good use of spend, and how their perspective has changed after reading the article. Do you remember the commercial that was just a QR code?Kevin is surprised by companies who produce amazing commercials, but never air them again. Commissions Have Risen Slightly For Affordable Homes, Fallen Slightly For Expensive Homes, Since NAR Settlement Took EffectJen shares a peek into the conversations happening on the online sales side, and what they are hearing from agents during calls, as well as buyers asking how having a realtor affects their spending power.Things We Love - Things We Hate (44:10):It's King cake season in Louisiana, and Julie decided to make her own! It took 24 hours, and although it tasted good, she said it wasn't worth all the trouble. Kevin finally got new glasses, and really enjoys being able to see well. But what he hates, is that he got two different kinds of glasses and they didn't pass the kid test. He and his wife are also helping to take 25 high school students to Guatemala, and an app he heard about this weekend called How We Feel, a journal for your wellbeing. Jen got the Oura Smart Ring and loves all of the stats it shows, but her "readiness score" is causing her some stress and to overthink. That said, Julie has been appreciating Jen's advice from the ring! Like and subscribe on your favorite platform!

I get a lot of questions about what I do to maintain my weight and take care of myself. And today I'm spilling my secrets. But first, notice I'm talking about both "taking care of myself" AND "maintaining my weight." Because they go hand-in-hand. The diet industry has taught women that weightloss should feel like punishment. That you can only feel happy once you've hit "goal weight." What a bunch of bullshit. The truth is that when you start taking care of yourself - even in small ways - weightloss becomes easier. So in this episode - My Current MUST-HAVES for Weightloss and Life - I share my favorite tools to look and feel amazing. Like: The ONE device that tracks my stress and sleep Exactly what I put in my morning shake to keep up my energy The nutrient I make sure to get enough of every day Which products I use to take care of my face and hair You don't have to wait until you lose your weight to take care of yourself.
