In this episode of Root Cause Reset, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioners April Blackford and Dani Larsen dig into the world of activity trackers — from Fitbits to Oura Rings — to help you decide if your wearable tech is supporting your health or sabotaging your sanity.

We’re breaking down:
