Tracking & Tech
Wearables, smart scales, body scans, and tracking apps. What we measure, the tools we use, and how we read the numbers.
The protocol is only as honest as the measurement behind it. This category is the hardware and software ecosystem we run — what we measure, what we ignore, and how we read the numbers without letting the numbers run the show.
The measurement stack
- Wearables — sleep staging, HRV, resting heart rate, and recovery trends (Oura ring, Apple Watch).
- Smart scales and body scans — weight is one data point; composition is the story.
- Tracking apps — where the logs live and how they talk to each other.
What we publish here
- Device reviews after real use — months, not unboxings.
- How we set baselines and what counts as signal vs. noise.
- The weekly read: which numbers we check, which we deliberately don’t.
- When the tracker and the body disagree — and which one wins.
Internal data — blood work and hormone panels — is its own category: Biomarker Labs. The devices we use are listed in the Toolkit.
