In this episode of the Critical Oxygen Podcast, Robby Wade, founder and CEO of Rhythm Health and I discuss the importance of tracking physiological data for personal health optimization. We explore how tracking blood markers can provide insights into hormonal health, performance, and overall well-being. In the conversation we discuss Rythm Health, an at home blood tracking program that uses a TASO device for painless blood collection. We discuss the significance of home health testing, and the interplay between hormones and physical performance. We also discuss the role of supplements, the importance of understanding personal health data, and the need for a holistic approach to health monitoring.

We also discuss the importance of personalized nutrition and supplementation, particularly for athletes. We emphasize the need to understand individual physiology and the impact of stress on dietary choices. The discussion covers practical recommendations for busy individuals, the relationship between thoughts and hormones, and the nuances of glucose management. The conversation also highlights the significance of mindset in endurance sports and the balance between carbohydrates and fats in training. Ultimately, it underscores the journey from tracking health metrics to developing intuitive understanding of one's body, along with the importance of regular physiological testing.

TAKEAWAYS

- Tracking your physiology is essential for personal health optimization.

- Education through tracking can lead to better health decisions.
