How do I make sure that when I come back, it's still gonna be somewhat habitualised?
Quick one before we continue, and something I've been genuinely nerding out on in my chief of science role at Throne Science is poop and pee.
You see, most of us are completely blind to what's happening in our guts and urinary health day to day.
We often wait until something is wrong, but your body's actually constantly churning out data in your urine, in your bowel habits, in those patterns that most people never track.
I'm proud to say that at Throne Science, we're building technology.
That captures exactly that passive, consistent biomarker monitoring of your gut health, your hydration status, your prostate health markers, without you even having to think about it.
From a clinical standpoint, the shift from reactive to continuous monitoring is really important because that is where the early signal detection happens, and that's when you can change your habits and hopefully outcomes as well.
I've been deeply involved from the science side because I think the research here is serious and with
Rising rates of colon cancer, poop talk is no laughing matter.
So if you're curious about what that data could tell you, the links in the show notes.
Now, when it comes to sort of on the other flip side, breaking bad habits, people, you know, often have a hard time doing that because of how long they've done it for, the exposure time is so long, so it's kind of a reflex at this point.
Something would be that I've struggled with and I know a lot of people have is checking their phone.
You know, you'd be watching T V and you're reflexively checking your phone.
Some people every few seconds, maybe every few minutes, or you know, whether it's boredom or anxiety or the need for you know get getting updates and involved with things.
I think, you know, the average person checks their phone fifty eight times a day or more potentially.
How is the best way to sort of, you know, counter that?
Yeah, I I think fundamentally technology has changed the way, you know, humans form habits but also break habits.
There are many great apps and tools which can help people quit smoking or stop other addictions.
We've got health trackers, we've got wearables, which encourage health promoting behaviors, steps, calorie tracking.
There are so many data points available to us now, so many digital tools.
