El episodio 119 llegó con framework, números y oportunidades que no te podés perder.Arrancamos con lo más accionable del episodio: los 7 principios de Y Combinator para construir una empresa en la era AI. No es AI como herramienta, es AI como sistema operativo de toda la organización. Loops cerrados en cada proceso, empresas legibles para los modelos, fábricas de software donde los humanos definen los specs y la AI construye el código, y equipos lo más flat posible donde cada persona tiene una responsabilidad directa y no hay lugar para esconderse. Si estás construyendo algo hoy, este es el episodio.Después el número que más sorprendió de la semana: Uber gastó 500 millones de dólares en tokens en tres meses y su CFO admitió públicamente que no vio ningún resultado. La contracara fascinante es que los propios modelos de AI no saben cuánto les cuesta producir cada token. Están vendiendo algo a un precio que ellos mismos no entienden todavía. Y mientras tanto, la mayoría de las empresas está descubriendo que un modelo open source más chico instalado en sus propios servidores les da el 90% del resultado al 2% del costo.También hablamos de la nueva métrica que define esta era: el EBITDA ya tiene una T nueva. Ya no es solo Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Ahora es Before Tokens también. Si tu empresa no está midiendo cuánto gasta en tokens, no está midiendo bien.En el frente de IPOs, Anthropic hizo su filing privado, OpenAI apunta a septiembre y SpaceX está cada vez más cerca. Tres movimientos que van a redefinir el mercado en los próximos meses.Cerramos con dos temas más personales. Primero, el debate entre Oura, Whoop y Fitbit — cuál sirve, para quién y por qué el nuevo monitor de glucosa Lingo de Abbott a 30 dólares puede ser uno de los dispositivos más importantes para entender tus hábitos. Segundo, cómo filtrar el spam de family offices y brokers de secundarios que llega por LinkedIn todos los días sin perder tiempo.

Lauren's guest is Alessandro Sartori, artistic director of Zegna. They discuss his decades-long career at the company, why he considers himself a tailor first, modular dressing, Oura rings, why he only wears black and white but loves color on other people, dressing up in the stretchy pants era, Milan versus Paris, the magnetism of Los Angeles, the value of a runway show, and plenty more.

Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Welcome back to another episode of Venture Unlocked, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the business of venture capital.In this episode, I'm joined by three deep tech investors and friends of the show, Nate Williams, Sunil Nagaraj, and Guy Perelmuter, for a roundtable on the state of deep tech and the changing venture landscape. We dig into what deep tech really means today, why it's suddenly attracting so much capital, and how economics, government tailwinds, and AI as a “killer app” have pulled these once niche technologies into the mainstream. We also explore the growing concentration of capital in a handful of hyperscale winners, the tension between consensus vs. non-consensus investing, and what all of this means for emerging managers, LPs, and founders operating at the zero-to-one stage.Thanks for listening to another episode of Venture Unlocked. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Nate, Sunil, and Guy.

Sleep trackers have become one of the fastest-growing trends in modern health culture. Rings, watches, apps, and mattress sensors now promise to measure everything about your sleep, but are these devices actually helping us sleep better…or simply giving us one more thing to worry about? In this episode, we will: Discuss whether sleep trackers improve sleep health or simply increase sleep-related anxietyExplore whether sleep trackers are evolving from wellness gadgets into legitimate healthcare toolsDiscuss the recent news surrounding Oura's confidential IPO filing and what it says about the future of sleep technologyExplore the concept of “orthosomnia” and why the pursuit of perfect sleep scores may backfireReview studies examining the accuracy of modern sleep trackers for total sleep time, REM sleep, and deep sleepTalk about who may genuinely benefit from sleep tracking and who may actually be harmed by it.Examine research suggesting that health data alone often fails to change behavior unless paired with education, coaching, or medical guidanceTo find out more about this week's podcast sponsor NOCTEM Health, please use the following link: https://noctemhealth.com/Original intro music Vigilanteology by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026) Original outro music Vigilanteology (reprise) by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026)Produced by: Maeve WinterMusic by: Dr. Abhinav Singh (@sleep_vigilante), all rights reservedMoreTwitter: @drchriswinterIG: @drchriwinterThreads: @drchriswinterBluesky: @drchriswinterThe Sleep Solution and The Rested ChildThanks for listening and sleep well!

Kenny Wood is the newly appointed CEO of Sleepagotchi, the Solana-based platform building what it calls the intelligence layer for the wellness economy. A two-decade veteran of the games industry, Wood cut his teeth as an artist on Mattel's Barbie titles before working on chart-topping franchises including Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX, Transformers, Formula 1 and World Rally Championship, later moving into ship-simulation work at VSTEP in the Netherlands and serving as CTO of AI world-generation startup Moonlander prior to its acquisition by Alpha 3D. Why you should listen Sleep is the foundation almost every other health metric rests on, and that is precisely why Wood argues it is the right wedge into a much larger market. Fix sleep and mood, energy and recovery tend to follow; neglect it and the deficit cascades through everything else. Sleepagotchi began life as a gamified sleep-to-earn app, but under Wood the thesis has sharpened: the real prize is not the streak mechanic but the data exhaust it generates. The company reports that roughly three-quarters of users open the app within ten minutes of waking, and its Telegram-based Lite version has touched two million all-time users, the kind of daily habit loop most wellness startups never achieve. The question Wood keeps returning to is who should capture the value of all that biometric signal. The product architecture he describes is ambitious. Rather than a single sleep score, Sleepagotchi runs four cooperating AI agents: a sleep coach that explains causally why a night went the way it did, a wellness agent that checks in on mood, diet, caffeine and alcohol through the day, a meal planner that turns those insights into recipes, and a shopping agent that sources the ingredients or supplements and can have them delivered. If you are tired despite doing everything right, the system might infer low iron and nudge you toward leafy greens, then route that recommendation downstream into an actual basket. A built-in marketplace lets vendors offer supplements, courses and the like, knitting recommendation and commerce into one loop. It is a bold attempt to make wellness advice actionable rather than merely informational, and it leans on integrations with Whoop, Oura and Apple Watch to pull in the raw signal. The thornier and more interesting argument is about ownership. Wearable terms of service generally bar reselling raw device data, a constraint Wood acknowledges candidly, but he draws a line between that raw feed and the processed, AI-derived record of a person's life built on top of it, which he believes the user should own and, eventually, permission or monetize on their own terms via the platform's $SLEEP token. Wood inherits the company from founding CEO Anton Kraminkin, now a strategic advisor, and a cap table that includes Sfermion, 6th Man Ventures, Inception and others. In a relaxed closing stretch, he talks up the strength of the underlying game IP, its outsized following across Japan, the Philippines and Korea, and the new levels arriving in the months ahead, while staying refreshingly honest about the work still to do. The result is a conversation that doubles as a preview of where the AI agent economy and personal health data may be heading.

A inteligência artificial já está mudando a forma como as pessoas planejam viagens — e talvez você nem tenha percebido isso ainda. Em vez de abrir dezenas de abas, comparar hotéis e pesquisar destinos em diferentes sites, muita gente já começou simplesmente a conversar com uma IA para organizar férias, encontrar passagens e até decidir para onde viajar. No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, Fernanda Santos conversa com Adriana Gallego, diretora de Atendimento ao Cliente da Decolar, sobre como a inteligência artificial está transformando o turismo, o atendimento e a relação dos viajantes com tecnologia. Durante o papo, Adriana explica como funciona a SOFIA, IA da Decolar, conta bastidores do desenvolvimento da ferramenta e fala sobre um tema cada vez mais importante: até onde as pessoas realmente confiam na inteligência artificial para tomar decisões importantes durante uma viagem. O episódio também aborda os limites da automação, o papel do atendimento humano em momentos de stress e como a IA já começa a agir como uma espécie de agente de viagens digital. Você também vai conferir: novo anel inteligente da Oura quer virar um mini laboratório de saúde no seu dedo, ChatGPT vai acompanhar a apuração das eleições de 2026 em tempo real e Xiaomi quer desafiar a JBL com uma caixa de som que dura até 14 horas.Este podcast foi roteirizado e apresentado por Fernada Santos e contou com reportagens de Nathan Vieira, Marcelo Fischer e João Melo.

Have you ever noticed how your Apple Watch pushes you to “close your rings” no matter what kind of day you’re having? It’s always about hitting the goal, finishing the task, and sometimes leaving no room for hard days, stress, or life’s natural fluctuations. Now, compare that to the Oura Ring, which considers your context—how much sleep you got, your stress levels, and even suggests you prioritize rest on tougher days. Heather Creekmore unpacks how we often treat ourselves like the Apple Watch: driven by rigid self-imposed goals, little room for compassion, and a tendency toward self-condemnation. But what if we learned to treat ourselves more like the Oura Ring suggests—meeting ourselves with curiosity, grace, and wisdom, adjusting our expectations based on the real demands and needs of our current season? (Never heard of an Oura ring? Learn more about this wearable tech here.) Key Takeaways Apple Watch Mindset: Rigid, goal-oriented, and often uncompassionate to your context. "Did you do enough? Did you close the ring? No nuance, no compassion." Oura Ring Mindset: Flexible, understanding, and grace-filled, adjusting expectations based on your needs. "Prioritize rest today. Choose recovery. No pressure to hit goals when your body needs rest." God’s Model of Grace: God knows your challenges, your grief, your exhaustion. He offers relationship, not a scoreboard. "God doesn’t demand summer fruit in the middle of winter." Stewardship over Shame: True body stewardship is about wisdom and listening, not punishment or fear. Application Questions: Are your habits more about accusation or invitation? Is your wellness rooted in fear, or joyful stewardship? Reflect and Apply If you struggle with self-condemnation, perfectionism, or feeling like you have to constantly “close the rings” of your life, consider: Adopting a mindset of grace over rigid self-judgment—and being more like an Oura Ring to yourself Listening to your body and spirit, honoring seasons of rest as much as seasons of work Asking, “What does loving stewardship look like for me today—given THIS body, THIS energy, and THIS season?” Remember: Your worth is not determined by a closed ring or a perfect scoreboard, but by the loving Creator who knows every detail of your life.

Peter Murrell's mafia-style SNP & could the Reform-Restore feud hand Burnham Makerfield?This week: the Peter Murrell scandal and the collapse of the SNP's moral authority. After Nicola Sturgeon's estranged husband and the party's former chief executive pleaded guilty to embezzling more than £400,000 from SNP funds, Michael and Madeline ask what this reveals about the party that dominated Scottish politics for more than a decade. Was this simply one man's disgrace – or a symptom of a political machine that had grown too powerful, too closed and too complacent?Also on the podcast: the growing split on the right. As Rupert Lowe's Restore threatens to divide the Reform vote in the Makerfield by-election, could Andy Burnham be saved by a battle between Nigel Farage and his former allies?And finally: the rise of the well-worriers. From Zoe and Oura rings to sleep scores, glucose monitors and heart-rate variability, the middle classes are no longer just trying to be healthy – they are trying to measure every flicker of human existence. Is all this self-tracking making us fitter, or just more neurotic? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most careers don't follow a straight line. But few require starting over in full view of the public.This week, Halle sits down with Lance Armstrong to discuss how he rebuilt his life and career after multiple turning points, including surviving advanced cancer, and how those experiences shaped his perspective on health, performance, and reinvention. Now, through his venture firm Next Ventures, he backs companies focused on what they call “whole person health” — spanning prevention, wellness, diagnostics, longevity, and healthcare outside the traditional system.We cover:Why he chose to become a VC, and what he likes (and dislikes) about the jobHow his experience as a patient shapes how he evaluates companiesWhy preventive care is growing outside the traditional healthcare systemWhat he looks for in founders building across the care continuumWhat it takes to rebuild trust and start overAbout our guest:Lance Armstrong is a former professional cyclist, entrepreneur, and investor. After surviving advanced testicular cancer, he founded Livestrong, helping raise more than $500 million to support cancer patients and survivors worldwide. In 2019, he co-founded Next Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on health, wellness, and consumer brands, with investments including Oura, Cofertility, Pair Team, and SteadyMD. Prior to Next Ventures, he was an active angel investor in companies such as Uber, DocuSign, and Athletic Brewing.—

The Finnish company behind the brand Oura, the maker of the health and wellness tracking ring has now filed to become a public company in the U.S. The company is valued at about $11 billion. And Pope Leo has raised his strong concerns on the development of Artificial Intelligence.

This is not a morning routine episode. This is a therapeutic system built from years of trial, error, and paying very close attention to a body with autoimmune disease.Brandi takes you through her full day, from 6:30 AM to lights out at 11, and Dr. Desiree breaks down the biology behind every single piece of it. Not because it looks good on paper, but because the research backs it and the Oura ring data confirms it.If you are living with an autoimmune condition, or you know something is off and you cannot name it yet, this episode is the one to send to every woman in your life who needs to hear it.What You'll Learn:Why the first five minutes after you wake up are the most neuroplastic window of your entire day and how to use that on purposeWhat Brandi puts in her morning mason jar and the specific reason each ingredient is in there (lemon, apple cider vinegar, mushroom extract and why order and timing matter)The three-legged stool model of autoimmunity and how every element of Brandi's day maps directly to one of those three legsWhy meditation is not a wellness extra for someone managing autoimmune disease, and what the epigenetics research actually says about itThe difference between morning coffee and matcha for your cortisol levels, your gut lining, and your immune regulationWhat "back pocket thoughts" are and how a 10-15 minute journaling practice is physically building new neural pathways in your prefrontal cortexWhy morning light in your eyes (without sunglasses, without a window) sets your circadian rhythm for the entire day and directly affects sleep quality 14-16 hours laterThe one thing that is independently associated with increased inflammation regardless of what else you are doing (and it is not your diet)Why Brandi takes Reishi and magnesium bisglycinate every single night and what her Oura ring data shows about sleep quality when she doesHow a hot shower before bed is triggering the same nervous system wind-down signal as your evening supplementsWhat the glymphatic system does while you sleep and why no supplement or practice can replace the repair work that only happens in those hoursThe single strongest predictor of microbiome diversity, and how to hit 30 plant foods a week without overhauling your entire kitchenResources Mentioned:Eversio Wellness 5 Mushroom Blend (Metabolic / Hormone Balancing): https://www.eversiowellness.com/Eversio Wellness Lion's Mane: https://www.eversiowellness.com/Eversio Wellness Reishi: https://www.eversiowellness.com/Soar Organics Matcha (Vancouver-based, USDA and Canada Organic certified): https://www.soarorganics.com/EWG Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen (annual pesticide guide for produce): https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/Oura Ring: https://ouraring.com/The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk (referenced in context of trauma and autoimmune disease)Brandi's Book: https://www.eversiowellness.com/products/healing-your-body-mind-and-soulTake the Eversio Wellness Quiz: https://www.eversiowellness.com/pages/take-our-quizYour Next Steps:Take the Wellness Quiz to find the right mushroom for you: https://www.eversiowellness.com/pages/take-our-quizShop Eversio Wellness and save 15% with code PODCAST15: https://www.eversiowellness.com/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eversiowellness/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCSZdEq_Qk0SYCKCeAwuuiwListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cNGNkTVcgpS2an1IFy1HJ?si=673791bd190e4c33

What if your new patient visit didn't start with a 200-page ER record dump, scattered portal logins, and a patient saying "I think mom had some kind of cancer"? In this episode of My DPC Story, Dr. Maryal Concepcion sits down with Anna Smith, RN, MPH, CEO of Vivid Vault Health Solutions, to talk about a patient-owned, multi-generational health navigation platform built to strengthen the physician-patient relationship, not replace it.Anna shares her realization that healthcare collects massive amounts of data but rarely puts it in patients' hands in a way they can actually use. That moment became Vivid Vault, a bootstrapped, non-VC, non-PE-funded platform designed to help families consolidate records across generations so DPC physicians can finally practice with the comprehensive, portable patient story we've always needed. Big Trees MD is an early adopter, and Dr. Concepcion walks through exactly why.If you want to give your patients a comprehensive, portable, patient-owned record system without adding another six-figure EMR to your stack, book a leadership call at vividvaulthealth.org or email together@vividvaulthealth.org. Download the Vivid Vault app in the Apple Store starting April 22. If this episode moved you, leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.What You'll LearnWhy fragmented records cost DPC physicians time, accuracy, and patient retention. How Vivid Vault works as a health navigator, not a new EMR or added workflow. Why multi-generational, family-linked records matter, and how permissions, proxies, and minors are handled. How PROMIS assessments give physicians insight between visits. How wearable data (Apple Health, Oura, WHOOP, Garmin, Dexcom soon) is timestamped and clinically usable. Why patient-owned data is non-negotiable and what happens if a patient leaves your practice or the platform. How LLM-assisted review surfaces what matters in a 200-page ER packet without replacing clinical judgment. Why B2C with a DPC practice discount keeps the financial burden off clinics.About Our GuestAnna Smith, RN, MPH, is the CEO and founder of Vivid Vault Health Solutions, a Colorado-based, bootstrapped health navigation platform. Her background spans bedside nursing, public health, medical records administration in cardiology, and patient advocacy. She is a mother of three and builds alongside a leadership team whose lived experience, including parenting a heart transplant recipient, shapes every design decision.ResourcesFind the Vivid Vault app in the Apple App store today!Website: vividvaulthealth.org (scroll to bottom right and click "Schedule with Leadership") Email: together@vividvaulthealth.org Connect with My DPC StoryStart Here page for every stage of your DPC journey: mydpcstory.comSupport the showGET your FREE MONTHLY BUSINESS TOOL DOWNLOADBecome A My DPC Story PATREON MEMBER!

The Truth About Fitness Trackers: How Accurate Are They Really? Episode Summary: Are your fitness tracker numbers actually telling you the truth… or just stressing you out? In this episode, we break down what your Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Oura, or other tracker is really measuring, how accurate that data is, and how to use it without becoming obsessed. You'll learn why fitness trackers are powerful *guides* but not perfect measurement tools, and how to focus on trends and habits instead of chasing “perfect” numbers. --- What You'll Learn In This Episode In this episode, we cover: - What fitness trackers are actually measuring (steps, heart rate, calories, sleep, “readiness” scores) - Where fitness trackers tend to be fairly accurate vs where they're often off - Why calorie burn and sleep stages should be treated as **estimates**, not exact data - The mindset shift from “my tracker is the boss” to “my tracker is a guide” - How to look at **trends over time** instead of obsessing over single-day numbers - Simple, flexible targets for steps, sleep, and workouts that work in real life - How to pair your tracker data with how your body actually feels - A simple 3-step framework to use your fitness tracker without letting it control you Key Takeaways - Fitness trackers are **not medical devices**. They're consumer tools that estimate your activity, sleep, and calories using sensors and algorithms. - Steps and general activity trends are usually more reliable than exact calorie counts or sleep stages. - Treat tracker data as a **guide and pattern finder**, not the final word on your health or your “worth” that day. - Focus on weekly and monthly patterns, not whether today's numbers are “perfect.” - Your body is the main source of truth. If your tracker and your body disagree, trust how you feel. - You are still “doing fitness” even if your tracker isn't on or you don't close every ring. How To Use Your Fitness Tracker In A Healthier Way Use this simple framework from the episode: 1. **Notice** - Let your tracker show you patterns in movement, sleep, and consistency. 2. **Adjust** - Make small, realistic changes based on trends, not one “good” or “bad” day. 3. **Let Go** - Let go of numbers that stress you out or don't match your lived experience. The goal is a sustainable healthy life, not a perfect score. If this episode helped you relax about your fitness tracker and see it as a tool instead of a judge: - Share it with a friend who checks their numbers a little too often - Follow/subscribe to Sisters-in-Service or the Why Not Wellness? podcasts so you don't miss future episodes

Professor Mark Kendall, Founder and CEO of WearOptimo, is a pioneer in micro-wearable technology and highlights the limitations of current wearables that capture only basic signals.  The WearOptimo platform uses a skin patch with painless microelectrodes to measure a range of biomarkers in the interstitial fluid just beneath the skin surface.  The company's first product is a continuous hydration monitor designed to address the widespread and under-recognized health problems caused by dehydration due to lifestyle, disease, and working conditions. Mark explains, "We are all familiar with wearables. They're everywhere these days. And when we think about wearables, we're thinking about really basic signals, like an Apple Watch, an Oura ring, or a Whoop. And they're useful for really basic things. But the challenge is that there are all manner of really important health signals out there that today's wearables, like those, are just unable to reach. So, what we're looking to tackle with our technology, our powerful platform, the micro-wearable platform, is gaining access to those key signals that today's wearables are unable to reach and really opening up genuine healthcare."   "It feels just like a sticker, as I said, but the important piece is something that's microscopic. It's microelectrodes. It's an embodiment of a field called microneedles, and I'm a founder of that field. And those microelectrodes just pierce this tough outer dead layer of skin, called the stratum corneum, and reach this location just below the skin's surface. And in that location is a rich reservoir of signals. And we measure those with bio-impedance sweeps. We pull out electrical signals from the body, and use our bespoke, novel AI model to read those signals and give us distinct health outcomes." #WearOptimo #MicroWearable #WearableTech #HealthMonitoring #HydrationHealth # #MedTech #MicroneedleTechnology #PrecisionHealth #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #Wearables #Microneedles #HydrationMonitoring #Biomarkers #PatientSafety #PerioperativeCare #OccupationalHealth #MilitaryMedicine #AIinHealthcare #EdgeComputing #PreventiveCare wearoptimo.com Download the transcript here

This week on Truth Works, my co-host Jeff Markowitz and I sit down with Judy Gilbert, the Chief People Officer of Oura, the company behind the Oura Ring.Judy is not a typical HR leader.She started her career at McKinsey, moved into executive search at Egon Zehnder, and then spent 12 years inside Google's People Operations team, helping scale the company from roughly 3,000 employees to 70,000.Along the way she ran learning and development, ran performance management, and served as head of HR for both YouTube and Google's moonshot factory, Google X.After Google, she became Chief People Officer at the biomanufacturing company Zymergen, where she helped build the team, took the company public, and then navigated its sale and wind-down.She tried to retire. It didn't last. The pull of being on a team trying to do hard things brought her to Oura.In this episode, we get into the difference between HR as an order-taker and HR as a genuine strategic partner, and why so many chief people officers get "organ rejected" within a year of joining.We talk about the danger of arriving with a fixed playbook, the chemistry that has to exist between a founder and their people leader, and why the job is really about being the one person willing to tell the emperor he has no clothes.Judy also shares the exact questions she asks before taking any role, how she pressure-tested Oura's CEO Tom Hale by sparring with him over compensation philosophy, and why a company's soul has to already exist before anyone can help it grow.In this conversation, we discuss:- The "I don't want to know" fear that stops people tracking their health- Whoop vs Oura, and how much data is actually useful- Why strategic HR is a competitive advantage most companies waste- The three questions Judy asks before joining any company- Why chief people officer turnover is so brutally high- The "toolkit" mistake that gets HR leaders fired- Being the person who has to tell the CEO he has no clothes- Glass balls vs rubber balls, and what to drop when you're building- How to protect a company's soul while running a hard business- Why clear cultures keep people and confused ones lose them- Why every CHRO is now the company's AI strategistThis is a candid look at the work behind the work, from someone who has built the people function at three very different companies and seen what separates the ones that scale from the ones that stall.If this conversation changed how you think about culture, leadership, or the people who quietly hold a company together, share it with someone who needs to hear it.Full episode of Truth Works with Judy Gilbert out now.

Ever checked your Oura Ring score first thing in the morning… and instantly decided how your entire day was going to feel? US TOOOOO!In this episode, we dive into the world of health tracking devices — from Oura Rings and Apple Watches to TempDrop, MyFitnessPal, Garmin, Whoop bands and beyond — and share our honest thoughts on whether these tools are genuinely helping us… or quietly making us more anxious, obsessive, and disconnected from our bodies.We unpack the pros, the pitfalls, and the surprisingly emotional side of tracking your sleep, stress, HRV, food, fertility, steps, recovery and more. Because while data can absolutely help you make smarter health decisions… sometimes it can also turn your nervous system into a full-time project manager (and nobody wants THAT).FIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOWebsite - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathJoin the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  PS: yes we are practitioners, but we're not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Google's latest wave of announcements for Android and Gemini, the newly announced Fitbit Air, and Apple Watch Series 12 rumors.The centerpiece of Google's announcements this week was Gemini Intelligence, Google's new umbrella platform for AI across phones, watches, cars, and laptops. Its headline capability is cross-app automation: users can photograph an event flyer and ask Gemini to find tickets on Expedia, or pull up a grocery list and have it build a cart in a shopping app. A companion feature called Create My Widget lets users describe a home screen widget in natural language and have Gemini generate it, drawing from Gmail and Calendar to build a personalized dashboard.Google also unveiled the Googlebook, a new laptop category designed from the ground up around Gemini with partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo arriving this fall. Gemini in Chrome for Android gained an agentic browsing layer rolling out end of June, and Android Auto received AI-generated contextual replies and DoorDash voice ordering. A Meta partnership brings Ultra HDR, native stabilization, and night mode to Instagram on Android flagship devices.In January, Apple and Google announced a partnership under which Gemini would power the next generation of Apple Foundation Models, including a more personalized Siri expected this year. Apple's equivalent cross-app ‌Siri‌ actions were announced at WWDC 2024 but have not yet shipped; Gemini Intelligence is rolling out this summer using the same underlying technology.Google also unveiled the Fitbit Air this week, a screenless fitness tracker priced at $99 that ships on May 26. The device weighs just 12 grams with the band and tracks heart rate, AFib, HRV, SpO2, and sleep stages in a pill-shaped pebble with no display, no buttons, and no notifications. Battery life lasts for seven days, with a five-minute fast charge delivering a full day of use. A Stephen Curry Special Edition is priced at $129, with core tracking free and Google Health Premium adding an AI Coach for $9.99 per month after a three-month trial.The launch accompanies a broader rebrand. The Fitbit app becomes Google Health on May 19, with Google Fit folded in, Apple Health data supported on iOS, and APIs for Garmin, Whoop, and Oura. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported earlier this year that Apple has scaled back a comparable Health+ coaching service, with the feature now unlikely to launch. The Apple Watch SE starts at $249 and requires daily charging, and the Fitbit Air's $99 price with no mandatory subscription addresses a segment Apple does not cover.We also discuss the Apple Watch Series 12, which is shaping up to be an incremental upgrade. Bloomberg's Mark Gurmansaid in March that he does not expect any major design changes, and a significant redesign is now not expected until 2028.The leaker known as Instant Digital said this week that Touch ID, which appeared in leaked Apple code last year, has been deprioritized in favor of battery life improvements. DigiTimes previously reported an eight-sensor array on the back of at least one 2026 model, though blood pressure monitoring is said to be further out. A new chip is expected, with leaked code indicating a meaningful upgrade from the S10 used across the last three series, and watchOS 27 will be previewed at WWDC on June 8. Start your business with Shopify and get everything you need to sell online and in person.

This episode is a special one. Sara Jensen, co-founder and Co-CEO of Hugh & Grace  invited me to join her for a live conversation in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week and the interview was so good, I knew I had to share it with all of you here on the Egg Whisperer Show. Sara has walked the deeply personal road of unexplained infertility for 14 years, ultimately building her family through the incredible gift of surrogacy. And, she and her husband Ben and channeled that journey (and what they learned) into a company dedicated to hormone-supportive, toxin-free wellness products.  Together, Sara and I unpack some of the fertility trends we both are seeing in 2026.  From understanding your fertility before you're trying to conceive, to the emotional marathon of IVF, to the role environmental toxins play in hormone health, and the topic of sperm maxing and egg maxing - we tackle many of the trending topics. And, we share what it really takes to prepare your body, protect your partnership, and make empowered choices on the path to parenthood. In this episode, we cover these fertility trends from 2026: Trimester Zero: what it means to truly prepare for pregnancy, why it matters for both partners, and how men can improve sperm quality through behavioral changes The TUSHY Method: my method for getting the foundational fertility workup done (tubes, uterus, sperm, hormones, and genetics) before surprises arise Egg maxing & sperm maxing: the supplements I actually recommend (CoQ10, NAD+), what to skip, and why "more is not better" when it comes to your supplement stack At-home fertility testing tools: how to use LH tests, the Proof Complete kit, and ovulation apps like Oura accurately, and the timing mistakes that cause couples to miss their window The emotional toll of fertility treatments: how to build your fertility support team early, manage IVF-related stress, and protect your relationship throughout the process Environmental toxins and hormone health: how everyday skincare and household products can impact your hormones, and what Sara learned firsthand after 6 rounds of IVF The fertility trends no one is talking about: why biology hasn't changed even as more women over 40 are having babies, and what declining birth rates mean for all of us Resources: Hugh & Grace (hormone-supportive, toxin-free wellness products) The Egg Whisperer Show (Dr. Aimee's podcast) on Spotify Yo Sperm Test (at-home semen analysis) Fellow sperm testing kit Legacy male fertility testing  Proof Complete fertility hormone test The Hermosa Study (research on chemical exposure and teens): https://cerch.berkeley.edu/research-programs/hermosa-study Oura Ring (fertility & cycle tracking): ouraring.com

You wake up feeling rested, check your Oura Ring, and suddenly you're tired. In this episode, Jeff Krasno examines whether sleep trackers like Oura, Whoop, and Apple Watch are genuinely improving our health or actually creating a new kind of sleep anxiety. He explores: What sleep trackers actually measure versus what they only model Orthosomnia and the rise of tracker-induced sleep anxiety Where Oura, Whoop, and Apple Watch are reliable, and where they aren't HIPAA gaps, FDA clearance, and what your data is worth Who benefits from wearing one, and who probably shouldn't This episode is for anyone wearing a sleep tracker, considering one, or wondering whether the score on their wrist is making them healthier or just more anxious.
