I find the whoop age to be incredibly rude.

They said it says I'm five years older than I am.

And I'm like, that sounds fake, rude.

You know, Aura has has these metrics about your cardiovascular age.

And there is a hyper obsession and fixation right now within wearable tech about your longevity, right?

Aura and Whoop both have partnerships with Quest Diagnostics so that you can take regular blood tests and feed it into their platform.

So CGMs are directly tied to that.

Abbott and Withings have a new partnership as of January.

Dexcom and Aura have an investment partnership with each other.

So it's really coming for everyone.

they are kind of positioning this as not just for diabetics.

And, you know...

It's a lot.

It is there's a definite push happening there.

A little bit of all of it, just because my first experience using CGMs on myself was actually in 2023.

I tested something called NutriSense, which used one of the Abbott CGMs for diabetics because in 2023, we did not have over-the-counter devices.

I had a really terrible time training for a half marathon.

I was following all the standards and, you know me, I love to self-quantify and I love to see what I can improve.

And I just did not understand why I whiffed it so hard at the New York City half marathon in 2023 when I was following requirements.

really kind of science-based training regiments, experimentation with fueling.
