Thanks for the link! First time I'm hearing of it.

If you try it let us know how it goes. Like I say am still keen to try if I find time 😊

Good question. I'm not sure. I'm not knowledgeable about these things yet, so I don't even know what's possible. But for starters: sleep, pulse, stress?

Pen and paper

sleep tracking is hit or miss. ultimately it doesn't really do anything except give you info on something you can't really control cuz, you know, you're asleep. Going to bed on time and getting enough rest is key, but a tracker isn't needed to accomplish those goals. pulse, aka heart rate, can be good to track when you do cardio exercises but I think for someone just starting out in fitness it provides quantitative measurement when you don't necessarily need it unless you're training at a higher level. I'm not sure how you'd track stress? Here are the things that I think you should track if you're wanting to pay more attention to your health. Track what you eat, particularly your total calories and macros breakdown (protein, carbohydrates and fats) Apps like MyFitnessPal make it easy to look up the nutritional content of foods and you can log what you eat to track your macros. I'm a huge advocate for strength training. it is the most efficient, bang for your buck in terms of time. Starting Strength is a great program to start out with, so is Stronglifts 5x5. The caveat is that you need access to a gym with barbells. There are apps to track your workouts but I personally just use a little notebook. Better health comes down to eat well, sleep well and build strength. Hope that helps!

I'm a #GrapheneOS type of person, so Apple is not in the cards. I'm sure Apple Health and Google Health is great and works for many people, but it won't work for me I'm afraid. Appreciate the response though 🙏

Fair. But I am a dev, so I like not to trust someone else’s algorithms to analyze my data. I am unaware of a tracker that would give all data without sending that to apple/google. You get some you loose some, unfortunately.

Yeah, that's in part why I never got one. Thank you for the comprehensive response 🙏

This is the way

Just turn Bluetooth of if you don’t sync devices or put it in airplane mode. Tracking is still fully functional.

thats a follow. My-man.gif

How is pen and paper doing any good without something doing actual readings? How are when you think about it readings going to be as accurate as continuous ones? Who says the EMF is doing any harm whatsoever and with what proof?

I see that you are still referring to the FDA & the WHO as if they have any credibility.

In regards to your first couple questions - You don’t always need continuous data to understand your own biology. Pen + paper works because you’re tracking the inputs that actually move the needle—sleep, sunlight, nutrition, movement, mood, stress, etc. Those patterns tell you far more than a device buzzing on your wrist. In regards to the EMF question - When Robert O. Becker went on 60 Minutes in 1977 warning that non-native EMFs might have biological effects, his Navy-funded lab was quietly defunded. The research wasn’t disproven — it was never allowed to continue. So when people say “there’s no evidence EMFs cause harm,” notice how convenient that half-truth is for industries built on nonstop wireless tech. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Billions have flowed into expanding Big Tech and Big Electric — not into studying long-term biological safety. No shocker there. And honestly… we’re all on Nostr for a reason, right?

And what credible source are you referring to.

Interesting! What do you like most about it?

The number 1 thing was realising that alcohol was completely destroying my sleep. Literally if I drank 3h before bed, it would affect my sleep. Essentially a very high heart rate destroy the first portion of the night. I was already rarely drinking. Made me stop drinking after 5pm and even less. It's mindblowing to see your body metrics like that. Also I realised that sleep consistency is very important to slow aging. Weight training too. Heart rate in zone 1-3 for 3h a week. The biomarkers are very intersting. My fasting insulin could be better. I basically realised I was eating too much grapes (high in sugar). Yes you can eat too much of a certain fruit.

100% this was exactly the same for me. alcohol is so much worse than you think and unfortunately it takes a tracker to really show you what it does to your body.

Thank you!

Requires Bluetooth to transfer the data to your phone, but Bluetooth is not needed during the day.

oh you look like a geek, alright. i always spot a fellow oura wearer 😉

How so?

You wear it 24/7, it collects tons of data. The biological age calculations are wild, the sleep stats are super in depth, and it personalizes recommendations based on your data. The fitness data is top notch, but I feel like it shines above other products I’ve tried in terms of sleep and medical insights.

Thank you. 🍀

No you must buy a more expensive one so you have enough financial guilt to justify the energy spent exercising 💪

haha what is that? stack sats while running?

An app I’m working on that time stamps your runs with block height and stores the run data locally instead of uploading to Strava, Nike, Apple, etc.

so accuracy is +/- 10min? 😉

Haha yes sir!

I wore a smart watch for just over a year and began to develop skin irritation. It took over 6 months for that to go away. That's how I know it was from the nnEMF and not the band. I would add the one ingredient food should be from your local farmers. Food is a geomagnetic bar code.
