Got 10 Minutes?
Danna was lying in bed trying to fall asleep—but her brain had other plans. It was busy counting how many wearables Megan has talked about and which one does what. So she turned it into an episode.
Here's the deal: before you buy anything, ask yourself one question—what do I actually want to track? Sleep? Steps? Hormones? Because you don't need to wear a ring all day if all you care about is sleep, and you definitely don't need a golf swing analyzer.
Megan wears both an Apple Watch and an Oura Ring. The watch handles activity tracking and—surprisingly—her ADHD. The timer function keeps her from spiraling into rabbit holes. But the ring? That one's personal. After a hysterectomy at 39, she lost all visibility on her menstrual cycle. The Oura Ring tracks skin temperature, which shifts with hormonal fluctuations—so now she can see exactly where she is in her cycle and will know when she's moved through menopause, even without a period to tell her.
They also touch on CGMs—continuous glucose monitors—which both of them have tested. Megan just wrapped up a Swiss glucose study where she wore two rings, two watches, and a CGM for a month. Basically a cyborg.
Oh, and if you're wearing a wearable but never looking at the data? That's just Dumbo's feather. An expensive one.
That's your 10 minutes.
