Podcasts about oura ring

In this episode of Visible Voices, host Dr. Resa E. Lewiss sits down with sleep medicine physician and circadian rhythm expert Dr. Katie Sharkey — inaugural director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Rhythms at Wake Forest University School of Medicine — to break down the science of sleep health, insomnia treatment, and women's sleep across the lifespan. They cover why alcohol disrupts sleep quality and worsens sleep apnea, how circadian rhythms regulate mood and mental health, the truth about naps and melatonin, perimenopause and sleep disturbances, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and digital CBT-I apps, wearables like the Oura Ring and the risk of orthosomnia, the glymphatic system's role in brain detox during sleep, AI-powered sleep scoring, and the perinatal sleep crisis driving maternal morbidity. Dr. Sharkey closes with three actionable microskills: keeping a sleep diary, maximizing daytime light exposure, and practicing self-compassion around sleep variability. Wish to help the show? Click

In this episode of the Don't Waste the Chaos Podcast, Kerri M. Roberts, senior HR strategist, fractional CHRO, and podcast host - dives into the leadership topic most executives think they're strong in but often struggle to sustain: boundaries. Kerri reframes boundaries as responsible leadership, not harshness - because in real organizations, unclear boundaries don't create warmth. They create confusion, favoritism risk, inconsistent authority, and a culture where pressure becomes a strategy.Drawing on thought leaders like Dr. Henry Cloud and Brené Brown, Kerri explains how leaders unintentionally “collapse” boundaries when they over-accommodate emotional reactions, undermine policies in person, or trade consistency for the identity of being perceived as a “good leader.” The result isn't kindness - it's instability. And in high-performing teams, stability is built through reliability, integrity, role clarity, and decision velocity - all outcomes of leadership infrastructure done right.Kerri also connects this to faith-informed stewardship: authority paired with limits, discerned availability, and integrity that keeps “yes” and “no” clean. Whether you're leading an executive team or parenting a teenager, this episode is a direct call to stop managing emotional fallout and start leading with clarity that protects people, performance, and long-term trust.Key takeawaysMost “HR problems” senior leaders name are actually clarity problems—boundaries, expectations, decision rights, and follow-through.Boundary collapse trains the organization that pressure works and teaches managers that escalation beats accountability.Vulnerability isn't boundarylessness—leaders destabilize teams when they confuse transparency with over-accommodation.Boundaries aren't control; they're containment—and containment is what creates safety, reliability, and sustainable growth.If you constantly circumvent policy, you're not being compassionate—you're creating an authority vacuum (and increasing favoritism and trust risk).ResourcesLeadership under pressure requires physical resilience, not just mental strength.

In this episode, Dr. Geo is joined by Dr. Steven Freeland to discuss the powerful intersection of urologic oncology and metabolic health. Dr. Freeland shares groundbreaking research on how dietary interventions—specifically low-carbohydrate protocols—can slow prostate cancer progression and counteract the metabolic damage caused by standard treatments like Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT).In This Episode, You'll Learn:The Metabolic Growth Signal: Why insulin and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) are considered "fuel" for prostate cancer cells and how reducing sugar can starve that signal.The 20-Gram Protocol: Insights from Dr. Freeland's study on ultra-low-carb diets, where participants saw a 20-pound weight loss and a significant slowing of PSA doubling time.Combatting ADT Side Effects: How a metabolic approach can improve insulin resistance by 30% and surprisingly help preserve bone density during hormone therapy.The "Slim-Fat" Reality: Why your BMI might be normal, but your visceral fat (adiposity) could still be driving inflammation and cancer growth.Clinical Markers to Watch: Why patients should ask about HOMA-IR (Insulin Resistance) and Hemoglobin A1C rather than just focusing on PSA alone.Key Quotes from the Episode:"Lifestyle intervention isn't alternative medicine; it is metabolic medicine." — Dr. Steven Freeland"Cancers need the same nutrients the body needs to grow. If we're reducing pro-growth stimuli to the whole body through weight loss and low carbs, it makes sense we're reducing it to the cancer." — Dr. Steven FreelandResources & Links Mentioned:Dr. Steven Freeland: Cedars-Sinai Faculty ProfileResearch Paper: Ultra-low carbohydrate diet and prostate cancer progression (referenced as the "20-gram study").Recommended Diet Protocol: Induction Phase Atkins (as used in the clinical trials).Clinical Markers: * HOMA-IR: (Fasting Insulin $times$ Fasting Glucose) / 405 (or 22.5 in SI units).Hemoglobin A1C: A 90-day average of blood sugar levels.Wearables: Fitbit, Oura Ring, and Whoop (discussed in the context of tracking "active steps" and sleep quality).Episode Breakdown by Timestamp:[07:35] Breaking down the 20-gram carbohydrate trial and patient adherence.[13:45] The impact of...

In this episode of the How to Hyperbaric Podcast, Dr. Masha talks with Dr. Mike Nelson about Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and how to use it to track stress, recovery, and nervous system balance at home. You'll learn what HRV means, how to measure HRV with wearables (Oura Ring, WHOOP, Garmin, Apple Watch), what “normal HRV” really depends on, and why higher HRV isn't always better. We also cover how HRV can help personalize Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), red light therapy, and PEMF protocols, how to spot overtraining or too much stress, and what trends matter more than one daily number.

Intéressons nous à la manière dont l'intelligence artificielle peut redonner du souffle à vos données de santé personnelles, avec un focus sur une initiative communautaire qui bouscule l'usage de l'Oura Ring.Transformer le flux illisible de l'application Oura en un rapport structuréLe constat de départ est simple. Posséder une bague ou une montre connectée, c'est bien. Mais se retrouver face à une avalanche de graphiques colorés sans savoir quoi en faire, c'est plus frustrant qu'autre chose.C'est là qu'intervient le Simple Wearable Report, un outil gratuit né sur Reddit via la communauté Oura Ring.Sa force n'est pas de collecter de nouvelles données, mais de transformer le flux illisible de l'application Oura en un rapport structuré, calqué sur le modèle des comptes-rendus de laboratoires d'analyses.L'objectif est double. Il s'agit d'offrir une lecture instantanée pour l'utilisateur et, surtout, fournir un document propre que votre médecin traitant peut réellement exploiter lors d'une consultation, sans avoir à défiler sur l'écran d'un smartphone.Compatibilité avec les LLMAu-delà de la mise en page, l'intérêt majeur de ce rapport réside dans sa compatibilité avec les grands modèles de langage comme ChatGPT, Claude ou Gemini.En injectant ces données structurées dans une IA, l'utilisateur change radicalement de perspective. Là où l'assistant officiel d'Oura se montre souvent diplomate, voire un peu flou, une IA généraliste comme Gemini adopte une approche sans filtre.Elle est par exemple capable de pointer du doigt une sédentarité excessive avec une franchise brutale.On passe ainsi d'un coach bienveillant qui suggère une petite marche à un analyste qui vous ordonne de fixer un plancher de pas quotidien pour éviter l'atrophie métabolique.Les questions de la confidentialité et de la pertinence médicaleC'est cette capacité de l'IA à "parler franchement" qui permet une interprétation bien plus concrète des cycles de sommeil ou de la variabilité cardiaque.Cependant, cette hyper-analyse soulève une question cruciale pour les professionnels et les particuliers, celle de la confidentialité et de la pertinence médicale.Si l'IA excelle pour déceler des corrélations invisibles à l'œil nu, comme l'impact réel d'une dette de sommeil sur votre fréquence cardiaque au repos, elle ne remplace en aucun cas un diagnostic.L'utilisation de chatbots non chiffrés pour traiter des données de santé reste un terrain glissant.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

You finally slow down… but your body doesn't.In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Vanessa De Jesus Guzman explores what happens when chronic stress becomes so familiar that it no longer feels like stress at all. For high-achieving moms, leaders, and caregivers, operating in survival mode can quietly become the baseline... making rest feel uncomfortable, quiet feel unsettling, and calm feel out of reach.Through personal reflection and real-life examples, this conversation helps name what many are experiencing but haven't fully articulated: the difference between looking calm on the outside and feeling regulated on the inside. This episode offers language, awareness, and gentle reframes for listeners who are carrying a lot, especially in times that feel heavy beneath the surface.TUNE IN TO LEARNHow to recognize stress when you're used to functioning through itWhy slowing down can trigger guilt or restlessness instead of reliefA simple reflective practice to name what you're feeling and whyHow nervous system awareness supports better leadership and parentingUPCOMING SUPPORT & RESET OPPORTUNITIESIf this episode resonated and you're craving intentional space to pause and recalibrate, here are two upcoming opportunities to continue the work:Virtual Leadership Coaching Container – February 5, 2026 (1 PM EST)A facilitated space for leaders, founders, and professionals who are holding significant responsibility while navigating internal stress and external demands.

Every marketer wants to create a campaign that cuts through, but most B2B brands try to do it with more spend, more channels, and more polish. The real lever is simpler: say something people actually feel.That's the lesson of Oura Ring's ‘Give Us a Finger,' a campaign that nailed cultural timing, sharp copy, and product-specific boldness without losing its soul. In this episode, we explore its B2B marketing takeaways with the help of our special guest Sylvia LePoidevin, CMO & Creator of The Zero to One Marketer.Together, we break down what B2B marketers can learn from making your copy the multiplier, leading with tension, and turning cultural insight into measurable demand.About our guest, Sylvia LePoidevinSylvia LePoidevin is a B2B SaaS marketing leader who has gone from the first marketing hire to CMO at two companies now valued over $2 billion combined. Most recently, Sylvia was the CMO at Kandji. She joined as employee #4 and helped scale the company from pre-seed to an $850M valuation with global offices across the US, London, Sydney, and Tokyo. A former early hire at DataFox (acquired by Oracle's AI group) and FloQast (now valued at $1.6B), Sylvia has spent her career building go-to-market engines from zero, often without playbooks, resources, or precedent. Her passion is helping founders and scaling teams build with the buyer first, using messaging, content, and community as multipliers for growth. Raised in remote Africa before moving to the US alone at 17, Sylvia credits her resilience and outsider perspective as her greatest assets in navigating zero-to-one challenges in both life and business.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Oura Ring's ‘Give Us the Finger' Campaign:Make your copy the multiplier, not the footnote. Sylvia's first lesson from ‘Give Us a Finger; is that the words are the performance channel. She says, “You think so much about the budget and the metrics, but if you put half as much of that effort into just like what the freaking copy is saying, that can change the unit economics of your whole campaign more than anything.” Oura didn't win because they spent more, they won because the headline is sticky, visual, and instantly understandable. In B2B, it should be the same. Before you tune targeting or add spend, pressure-test the message. One sharp line that people repeat will outperform five “optimized” versions nobody remembers.Lead with tension. What makes this campaign work, in Sylvia's eyes, is that it taps a real, shared feeling in the market. She grounds it in one clear idea: “The whole concept of ‘Give Us the Finger' is sort of an act of defiance against aging.” That's why it resonates beyond the cult fans. It's selling an attitude, not a tracker. For B2B marketers, the move is to find the tension your buyers already live in and build the campaign around that. When the audience feels seen first, the product lands as the natural weapon.Keep the wrinkles in your writing. Sylvia loves this campaign because it doesn't feel sanded down into safe brand mush. Her takeaway is blunt: “ AI takes the wrinkles out of your writing… People are now looking for the wrinkles because it shows that it's real.” Oura's creative has an edge, personality, and a little defiance, which is exactly why it sticks. In B2B, where everything tends to sound committee-approved, the fastest way to disappear is to over-smooth. Let your voice have texture. Keep the sharp edges that make your brand human. That's what people notice, trust, and remember.Quote“ 95% of your buyer is not in market at any moment, only 5% is.

ChatGPT diagnosed what five doctors missed. Blood work proved the AI right. Here's how to stop guessing about your health.EPISODE SUMMARY:You're grinding through burnout with expensive wearables telling conflicting stories while doctors have four minutes to shrug and say "sleep more." Your body's sending signals you can't decode — panic attacks that might be blood sugar crashes, exhaustion that contradicts your readiness score, symptoms that don't match any diagnosis.Garrett Wood fed his unexplained low testosterone and head injury history into ChatGPT. The AI suggested secondary hypogonadism from pituitary damage. Blood work confirmed it. Three weeks on tamoxifen, his testosterone jumped from 300 to 650.In this episode, Garrett breaks down why your Oura Ring might be lying, how a "panic attack" patient discovered her real problem was a glucose crash (not anxiety), and the old-school performance test that tells you if you're actually ready to train — no device required.Learn how to prompt ChatGPT with your blood work, cross-reference biometric patterns doctors miss, and walk into appointments with informed questions that turn four-minute consultations into actual solutions.✅ KEY TAKEAWAYS:How to use ChatGPT to interpret blood work and generate doctor questionsThe "monotasking test" that beats your wearable's readiness scoreWhy panic attacks might actually be glucose crashesHow to tighten feedback loops with wearables + CGM + AIRecording doctor visits and translating medical jargon with AINOTE: This episode was originally published on August 12th, 2025.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — When Your Wearable Says You're Fine But You're Not02:17 — ChatGPT Diagnosed Secondary Hypogonadism05:42 — The Balance Test That Beats Your Readiness Score09:45 — Why "Anxiety" Might Be Blood Sugar15:00 — How to Prompt AI with Blood Work23:37 — Recording Doctor Visits + AI Translation30:48 — Disease Management vs Well-Being OptimizationGuest WebsiteGnosis Therapy (Garrett Wood's practice) Garrett on LinkedIn

We're walking through my favorite purchases from 2025 - both items and experiences - and reflecting on what they reveal about my consumption habits, priorities, and values. We talk through everything from wardrobe upgrades and wellness investments to the things that didn't stand out as much as I expected (and why that matters). I also share how I'm approaching a January no-buy, the spending rules I'm carrying into 2026, and how I'm shifting from constant curation toward intentional refinement.

I break down when fitness trackers can be genuinely helpful, when they quietly increase stress, and how to use them as a supportive tool without letting them run your life.We also rethink exercise through the lens of longevity. I explain why the type of movement you choose matters far more than intensity, duration, or the number of hours you spend in the gym.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/do-fitness-trackers-work-for-longevityThank you to our sponsors!

Your real cardiovascular age isn't found in your cholesterol numbers…It's hiding in the health of your blood vessels.Prioritizing your *heart health* is about more than just preventing *cardiovascular disease*; it's about enhancing overall well-being. Nourishing all tissues and focusing on the *glycocalyx* are essential for true *healthy aging*. Incorporating a *healthy lifestyle* can make a significant difference.In this video, I break down the two cutting-edge ways we measure how old (or young) your cardiovascular system really is:

I've been wearing an Oura Ring for a few months now, and after countless questions about it I am finally sharing my full, honest review. In this episode of Don't Depend On Daddy, I break down why I switched from traditional fitness trackers to the Oura Ring, how it's impacted my sleep, stress, anxiety, routines, and overall wellness, and who I truly think this device is (and is not) for. This is not a sponsored review - just my real experience using Oura as someone who values intentional living, routine, and long-term health. We talk sleep hygiene, readiness scores, stress and HRV, cycle tracking, behavior change, and how understanding your body can completely change how you show up in your life. If you've been considering the Oura Ring and want a wellness-focused perspective rather than a fitness-obsessed one, this episode is for you.Subscribe to Beyond Your Budget:https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/BREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:

Understanding your HRV (heart rate variable) and your PWV (Pulse Wave Velocity) can help you understand your cardiovascular health so you can be pro-active in your health. Don't wait until it's too late to address your heart health. Many doctors practice reactive medicine, waiting for problems like cardiovascular disease to arise before addressing them. This contrasts with a proactive medicine approach that focuses on cardiovascular disease prevention. Prioritizing health with healthy heart supplements and lifestyle changes can make a big difference.Supplements or other recommendations Dr Jake makes.

Can science really help us live longer - and feel better while we age? In this episode, longevity expert Kayla Barnes-Lentz joins Jonathan and Dr Federica Amati to explore how daily behaviours, emerging science, and personalised data may shape our health span. Many people believe longevity requires extreme routines or expensive treatments, but new evidence suggests simple habits may have a powerful impact. This conversation asks one central question: how can we age well while still enjoying life? Together, Kayla, Jonathan and Federica explore what longevity science currently understands… and what it still doesn't. Kayla shares her personal journey from chronic fatigue and brain fog to measurable improvements after changing her diet, sleep routine and lifestyle. The discussion covers nutrition, sleep, oral health, fasting, environmental toxins, supplements, wearable tracking, personalised lab testing, and why women may need different guidance based on physiology and life stage. For listeners wanting practical steps, this episode includes guidance on five foundational habits such as consistent sleep timing, reducing late-evening eating, flossing and dental check-ins, supporting your gut and oral microbiome, and increasing plant diversity in meals.  As science continues to uncover how and why we age, what small behaviour could you change today that your future self may thank you for? And if you could meaningfully extend your healthy years, how differently might you live now? Unwrap the truth about your food

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the real reason aging accelerates after 40 and the free 10-minute ritual that reverses visible aging from the inside out. Instead of creams, injections, or prescriptions, Ben explains how activating your body's natural nitric oxide (NO) production can restore youthful energy, boost fat-burning, improve collagen, sharpen the brain, and recharge your mitochondria. Ben breaks down what nitric oxide is, why production drops up to 60 percent by your 40s, and how this decline leads to wrinkles, fatigue, stubborn belly fat, and poor sleep. He shares his personal 10-minute Nitric Oxide Activation Protocol:• A 4-minute nitric oxide dump workout• A 3-minute sunlight + nasal breathing reset• A 3-minute grounding + “Vitamin G” gratitude practice He also shows how this routine dramatically improved his HRV, sleep, and readiness scores using his Oura Ring. Guest expert Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world's leading nitric oxide researchers, explains exactly how NO controls blood flow, cellular energy, mitochondrial function, longevity, and disease prevention. Ben then expands the protocol with two powerful add-ons:• 20-second sprints to boost human growth hormone by up to 450 percent• Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) to increase ATP, collagen, and nitric oxide signaling He closes with a rapid-fire Q&A about blood pressure, age 60+, sauna vs. cold plunge, combining stacks, and timing. This episode gives you everything you need to restore youthful biology — naturally, quickly, and without spending anything. FREE GUIDE: Better Than Ozempic - https://bit.ly/3LV3yEh

Ashe in America and Jackie Espada return after a GART break with a powerful, wide-ranging episode that dives straight into the stories shaping America's future. From Noah Harari's chilling statements on surveillance, data ownership, and the manipulation of human behavior, to the explosive rise of wearables like the Oura Ring and what biometric tracking really means for personal sovereignty, the hosts unpack how global elites use narratives to engineer compliance. Ashe and Jackie also explore the unfolding debate around H1B visas, Trump's controversial comments, and the long-term consequences of globalization hollowing out American talent. They analyze Alaska's massive LNG developments, the rescinding of restrictive energy regulations, and how U.S. dominance in energy is quietly being restored while the media obsesses over Epstein and H1B outrage cycles. With sharp cultural insight, deep policy breakdowns, and their signature blend of humor and straight talk, Ashe and Jackie illuminate why America's momentum is accelerating, and why the establishment can't keep up.

XX The Primary Oral Insulin Trial (POInT) is the first large-scale clinical trial to test whether giving at-risk children daily oral insulin could prevent or delay type 1 diabetes (T1D). Conducted by researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich across five European countries, the study enrolled more than 1,000 children with a genetic risk for T1D. Results published in The Lancet show that while oral insulin did not prevent the development of islet autoantibodies—an early sign of diabetes—it was safe and well tolerated. Importantly, researchers found that some children who received oral insulin developed diabetes more slowly than those given a placebo, suggesting potential protective effects in certain genetic subgroups.   Further analysis revealed that the response to treatment depended on the child's insulin gene variant. Children with genetic versions that raise diabetes risk appeared to benefit, showing delayed onset of the disease, while those without the risk variant did not. These findings point toward a future of personalized prevention, where genetic screening could help identify which children might benefit most from oral insulin. Researchers will continue following the participants until age 12 to assess long-term effects. The study marks a major milestone in decades of diabetes prevention research, highlighting both the promise and complexity of developing tailored, early interventions against type 1 diabetes. XX Joint US-Chinese research looking at generating new beta cells from stomach cells. Upon turning on the "genetic switch," the human stomach cells were converted to insulin-secreting cells within the mice and resembled pancreatic beta cells with respect to gene and protein expression. Encouragingly, when those experiments were done with diabetic mice, insulin secreted from the transformed human cells helped control blood sugar levels and ameliorated diabetes. The scientists hope that a similar approach can be taken to convert cells from a patient's own stomach into insulin-secreting cells directly within the body. Importantly, additional studies are needed to address if this approach is safe and effective to be used in patients. https://www.technologynetworks.com/cell-science/news/human-stomach-cells-tweaked-to-make-insulin-406694 XX A new study in Nature Metabolism may help explain why children born to mothers with type 1 diabetes are less likely to develop the disease early in life compared to those whose fathers or siblings have it. Researchers looked at nearly 2,000 mothers and their children and found that  kids whose moms have type 1 diabetes show changes in their DNA that may actually help protect them. These aren't genetic mutations, but epigenetic changes — chemical tags that turn certain genes on or off. The study found these changes in genes tied to the immune system and type 1 diabetes risk, suggesting that a mother's condition during pregnancy can shape her child's immune response in a protective way. Scientists identified more than 500 areas of DNA where these changes occurred, many in regions that control how the body's immune system works. Most of the changes appeared to calm down the kind of overactive immune response that leads to type 1 diabetes. Researchers even created a "methylation score" to help measure this protective effect. They say the next step is to confirm these results in more diverse groups and figure out exactly how these DNA changes help prevent early diabetes. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251110/Maternal-type-1-diabetes-may-protect-children-from-developing-the-disease.aspx XX A new study from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University reveals that sons born to mothers with type 1 diabetes may develop early vascular dysfunction—independently of metabolic health. The finding may help shape future strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease early in life.     Children of women with type 1 diabetes are known to be at increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This new study, published in Cell Reports Medicine, is the first to show that the risk is linked to early dysfunction in blood vessel cells in sons, even before any metabolic issues arise. The team is now investigating the long-term effects of maternal diabetes, with a particular focus on why sons seem to be affected earlier than daughters. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-11-sons-mothers-diabetes-early-vascular.html XX A new study presented at Kidney Week 2025 has shown that the drug finn-uh-near-own  a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonist, significantly reduced albuminuria—a key marker of kidney damage—in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is the first major breakthrough for this population in more than 30 years. Researchers found that patients taking finerenone saw a 25% average reduction in albuminuria compared to placebo, an improvement that suggests a lower long-term risk for dialysis or kidney transplant. The phase 3 FINE-ONE trial involved 242 adults with T1D and CKD, and results showed benefits as early as three months. The drug was generally well tolerated, with side effects similar to those seen in patients with type 2 diabetes, though mild hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) was slightly more common. Experts say the findings could change the way doctors treat kidney complications in type 1 diabetes, an area that hasn't seen new therapies since the early 1990s. Currently, treatment options rely on blood pressure and blood sugar management, along with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. Finerenone, which is already approved for type 2 diabetes-related CKD, targets overactivation of a receptor that drives kidney damage. Based on these results, Bayer plans to seek FDA approval in 2026 for use in people with T1D and CKD. Researchers and clinicians alike are calling the study "groundbreaking," noting that it opens the door to future research on how finerenone might not just slow kidney decline—but possibly prevent it altogether. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/finerenone-offers-hope-kidney-disease-type-1-diabetes-2025a1000uzi?form=login   XX This week, Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) announced a major milestone for its Mobi miniature durable insulin pump system. San Diego-based Tandem revealed that it received FDA approval for the Android version of its Mobi mobile app. Clearance brings Mobi — which the company describes as the world's smallest, durable automated insulin delivery system — to more users. The pump, which pairs with Tandem's Control-IQ+ algorithm, previously worked with iOS software.   Tandem — one of the largest diabetes tech companies in the world — expects to begin a limited rollout next month, followed by full commercial availability in early 2026. This marks the latest milestone for the company, which continues to expand its offerings and widen its reach within the diabetes patient population.   We had a great interview with Tandem on our previous episode, but as I said at the time, it was coming before their earnings call. So here's an update: The company plans to submit the tubeless mobi to the fda before the end of this year.. possible approval and shipping date is hoped for by middle of 2026. Trials for their fully closed loop next-generation algorithm which we tlkaed abou ton the show should be launched in 2026 The Sigi patch pump will be developed and launched as a next-generation version of the Mobi Great job by Dr. David ? Ahn – he posted on IG after getting a message from tandem CEO John Sheridan? 1. First, the Tandem X3 *is* still absolutely in development, contrary to my speculation In yesterday's video. As many of you appropriately pointed out, there is definitely a market for a 300 unit pump, a pump with a screen, and a pump that does not require smartphone control. So from our brief chat, the sense I got that is that the X3 would be more of a refresh of the X2 with newer components, such as a USB-C connector and better memory, rather than a total redesign from the ground up. In terms of timing, all I could get was that it was "not too far distant in the future," which could mean anything I guess, but at least it's still on the way! 2. Next up, he also reassured me that they are working closely with Dexcom to support the G7 15 Day sensor within the next few months. I suspected as much, but it's always good to hear confirmation. 3. Lastly, he did confirm that Tandem is far along in developing a Caregiver/Follow app to allow the remote viewing of glucose and insulin data from a Tandem pump. He explained that it will be based on Sugarmate, the popular diabetes data dashboard app that Tandem acquired back in Jun 2020. While I don't know if every feature will make it into the Tandem caregiver app, Sugarmate is well-liked for its highly customizable dashboard and highly configurable alerts. Sugarmate even has the option to send a text message or phone call for urgent lows. Regardless, a true follow/Caregiver app will be welcomed with open arms by all caregivers and Tandem users who use Libre 3 Plus. https://time.com/7318020/worlds-top-healthtech-companies-2025/ XX Senseonics submits Eversense 365 – their year long implantable CGM for a CE mark, European Approval and expect to launch there soon. Eversense will be integrated with the sequel twist pump – again I'm hearing soon but no timeline. Intersting to note that one year inseration was approved in the US just about a year ago, so the first patients will be having their CGMs changed out – for the first time – pretty soon. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-q2-2025-sales-beat-ce-mark/ XX A confusing study out of Rutgers - these researcher say  metformin reduces some of the key benefits normally gained from regular physical activity. These include improvements in blood vessel health, physical fitness, and the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. Since 2006, doctors have typically encouraged patients with elevated blood sugar levels to combine metformin with exercise, expecting that the two proven treatments would produce stronger results together. However, the new research suggests this may not be the case. In this study, Exercise alone improved vascular insulin sensitivity, meaning blood vessels responded better to insulin and allowed more blood flow to muscles. This matters because insulin's ability to open blood vessels helps shuttle glucose out of the bloodstream and into tissues, lowering blood sugar after meals. But when metformin was added, the improvements shrank. The drug also diminished gains in aerobic fitness and reduced the positive effects on inflammation and fasting glucose. The findings don't mean people should stop taking metformin or exercising, Malin said. Instead, it raises urgent questions for doctors about how the two treatments can be combined and the need for close monitoring. Malin hopes future research will uncover strategies that preserve the benefits of both. https://scitechdaily.com/popular-diabetes-drug-metformin-may-cancel-out-exercise-benefits-study-warns/ XX XX https://www.medtechdive.com/news/Revvity-Sanofi-diabetes-test-Kihealth-seed-round/802133/   XX Dexcom recalled an Android app for its G6 glucose sensor due to a software problem that could cause the app to terminate unexpectedly. The issue could cause users to miss alarms, alerts or notifications related to estimated glucose values, according to a Food and Drug Administration database entry posted Oct. 30. The glucose sensor and the app are still available, but Dexcom required users to update the app to a new version. Dexcom began the recall on Aug. 28. The FDA designated the event as a Class 1 recall, the most serious kind. Dexcom sent a notification to customers in September about the software bug, which applies to version 1.15 of the G6 Android app. To use the app, customers must update it to a new version, according to the entry. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-recall-g6-cgm-app/804630/ XX https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/automated-insulin-delivery-boosts-glycemic-control-youth-2025a1000ub3 XX Tidepool partners with smart ring maker OURA.. press release says: to support a groundbreaking dataset intended to be broadly available for diabetes research, with participation limited to individuals who opt in through Tidepool.         Tidepool will pair biometric data from Oura Ring – sleep, activity, heart rate, temperature trends, and menstrual cycles – with diabetes device data, including continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps. The result will provide researchers with an unprecedented dataset to accelerate the development of new clinical guidelines, next-generation diabetes technology, and personalized care models.   Recruitment is expected to launch in early 2026 through an IRB-approved study. By opting in to this study, participants consent to sharing their data with Tidepool's Big Data Donation Project, where data is de-identified and, with participant consent, shared with academics, researchers, and industry innovators to accelerate diabetes research. https://aijourn.com/tidepool-collaborates-with-oura-to-advance-inclusive-diabetes-research-through-wearables/ XX Eli Lilly launches two new clinical trials for baricitinib. These phase 3 trials will investigate whether the drug can delay T1D onset or progression and will open for recruitment soon. Baricitinib has the potential to extend the "honeymoon period" of T1D, meaning that it could preserve remaining insulin-producing beta cells earlier in disease progression. More beta cells mean better blood sugar management—and potentially reduced long-term complications. JAK inhibitors, including baricitinib, are already FDA-approved for other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, alopecia, and more. JAK signaling pathways are associated with overactive immune responses, so blocking this pathway may turn down the immune response. The phase 2 Breakthrough T1D-funded BANDIT study was key in showing that this drug is safe and effective in T1D. Importantly, baricitinib is a once-daily oral pill—meaning its use is simple and easy.   https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/two-new-trials-baricitinib-to-delay-t1d/ XX   Insulet is taking diabetes awareness into the workplace.

Lots going on for Diabetes Awareness month.. some notables.. Insulet's "The Day Diabetes Showed up to Work" campaign. based on a survey of almost 10,000 people 79% of people with diabetes have faced bias or misunderstanding at work,.   Almost 90% of people with diabetes surveyed reported experiencing barriers at work due to their condition, and more than 40% of people with diabetes and caregivers said they have workplace-related anxiety tied to the metabolic disease. Around one-quarter of respondents reported fears that diabetes could limit opportunities or lead to workplace discrimination and judgment, and a similar proportion of people said they conceal their condition. https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/widespread-workplace-challenges-people-diabetes-spark-insulet-campaign XX New directive issued by the Trump administration could mean people seeking visas to live in the U.S. might be rejected if they have certain medical conditions, including diabetes or obesity.   The guidance, issued in a cable the State Department sent to embassy and consular officials and examined by KFF Health News, directs visa officers to deem applicants ineligible to enter the U.S. for several new reasons, including age or the likelihood they might rely on public benefits.   The guidance says that such people could become a "public charge" — a potential drain on U.S. resources — because of their health issues or age.   The cable's language appears at odds with the Foreign Affairs Manual, the State Department's own handbook, which says that visa officers cannot reject an application based on "what if" scenarios, Wheeler said.   The guidance directs visa officers to develop "their own thoughts about what could lead to some sort of medical emergency or sort of medical costs in the future," he said. "That's troubling because they're not medically trained, they have no experience in this area, and they shouldn't be making projections based on their own personal knowledge or bias."   Immigrants already undergo a medical exam by a physician who's been approved by a U.S. embassy. https://www.npr.org/2025/11/12/nx-s1-5606348/immigrants-visas-health-conditions-trump-guidance XX SAN DIEGO---Nov. 14, 2025—DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), the global leader in glucose biosensing, today unveiled 16 new diabetes advocates to represent people living with diabetes globally as part of Dexcom's World Diabetes Day campaign. The advocates – ranging from ages six to 68, spanning various types of diabetes, and hailing from four continents and five countries – were selected from 1,000 open call submissions based on their experiences advocating for people with diabetes in their communities. While each person's experience with diabetes is unique, they share a common passion for advocacy – and use of Dexcom's glucose biosensing technology. "Through advocacy, I strive to show others, especially children and newly diagnosed patients, that diabetes is not a limitation but an opportunity to grow stronger, inspire resilience and pursue ambitious goals," said Maria Alejandra Jove Valerio, one of Dexcom's new advocates. "What began as a diagnosis at age seven has grown into a lifelong mission to uplift others." This effort represents the first time Dexcom has sourced voices from the broader diabetes community specifically for its World Diabetes Day campaign, reinforcing Dexcom's history of and commitment to giving real people with diabetes a platform to share their story on a global stage. Through engaging, editorial-style portraits and deeply personal stories, the campaign highlights each advocate's personal experience with diabetes, what misconceptions about diabetes they'd like to dispel and how they want to inspire others with diabetes to discover what they're made of. To prepare for the spotlight, the group of advocates met in Los Angeles for a World Diabetes Day photoshoot which included a surprise visit from Grammy-nominated artist, actor, producer and Dexcom Warrior Lance Bass and author, producer, actress and Stelo*Ambassador Retta. This visit offered the advocates an opportunity to exchange stories and personal perspectives on the meaning of diabetes advocacy and how they live it each day. Behind the lens at the shoot was another member of the diabetes community—photographer Tommy Lundberg who lives with Type 1 diabetes. "Directing this photoshoot was nothing short of inspiring. Each of these advocates has a unique an XX On what would have been the 100th birthday of its visionary founder Alfred E. Mann, MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq: MNKD), in partnership with Alfred E.

In this episode, neuroscientist and U.S. Army sleep expert Dr. Allison Brager joins Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis Mash to explore the real science behind sleep, recovery, and wearable technology. They discuss which devices actually deliver useful data, such as the Oura Ring for sleep tracking and Garmin for cardiovascular measurements, and why being consistent with one tool is more important than chasing perfect accuracy. Dr. Brager explains how wearables are now being used in place of sleep labs in both clinical and military settings to help athletes and operators make better recovery decisions. The conversation dives into practical ways to improve sleep and recovery for anyone pushing performance limits. Dr. Brager describes how sleep apnea can affect even lean, muscular athletes, with studies showing that more than half of Division I football players meet criteria for sleep apnea or insomnia. Just three nights of only five hours of sleep can cut testosterone levels in half. The group also discusses how vagus nerve stimulation, infrared light therapy, and temperature-controlled mattresses such as Eight Sleep can help the body relax, lower stress, and improve sleep quality, especially when used before bed or after long travel. They close by breaking down real-world strategies for recovery and training. Short 20- to 30-minute naps during the afternoon improve alertness, and caffeine can be used strategically during travel to reduce fatigue. Training is most effective when aligned with the body's circadian rhythm, with evening workouts often producing better strength results, while morning training can work after a few months of adjustment. Whether you are a soldier, athlete, or business leader, this episode is about using data, structure, and recovery habits to perform better and stay healthy over the long term. Outside of the laboratory, Allison was a two-time CrossFit Games (team) athlete, a two-time CrossFit Regionals (individual) athlete, and a four-year varsity NCAA Division I athlete in track and field.
