131. My Experience with the Oura Ring: A Game-Changer for Your Long-Term Health

I've been using my Oura Ring for almost a year now, and I’ve gotten quite a few questions about what I think of it.

Honestly..it’s been a game-changer for my overall health, and it’s a seriously great product! I wanted to take some time and dive into what my experience has been like, and really, why I believe it’s such a phenomenal tool for your long-term health.

First of all, the Oura Ring isn’t just another fitness tracker - it’s actually not a fitness tracker at all. The Oura Ring monitors a variety of health metrics, from your sleep quality and heart rate variability, to your daily activity, resilience, menstrual cycle (a huge reason why I wanted it), and more. It literally breaks everything down and is customizable to YOU; it gets to know you on a deeply personal level.

The Oura Ring has really transformed my health and fitness, and has helped me better understand other important metrics I didn’t think about as much (or really know about). I feel like it’s more of a ‘balanced’ approach to tracking too; it’s given me extremely accurate data without me falling into the trap of obsessive monitoring like I have in the past.

Whether you're curious about tracking your sleep or menstrual cycle, managing stress, or simply wanting a clearer picture of your overall health, I hope this episode gives you the knowledge you want (and need) to know about the Oura Ring!
