After six years of using the Oura Ring, I’ve seen it improve in some ways but decline in others. In this video, I’ll break down what the Oura Ring does well, where it’s gotten worse, how it compares to WHOOP, and why I’m still using it despite its flaws. If you’re considering buying an Oura Ring or looking for an upgrade, watch this first!

Are “zero-sugar” electrolyte companies really as clean as they claim? In this episode, we dig into the recent controversy surrounding LMNT, a popular zero-sugar electrolyte brand, and the discovery that their product contains maltodextrin (a type of sugar). What does this mean for their transparency and for those of us trying to stay true to a low-carb lifestyle? We’ll explore the implications of this revelation, why it matters, and how to choose products that align with your health goals.
