Five Health Experiments You Can Run on Yourself Starting Monday (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your fitness tracker, your continuous glucose monitor, and your home blood pressure cuff are all giving you real numbers. The problem is that most of those numbers are noise, and reacting to them can quietly make your health worse. In this episode I walk you through a hundred-year-old method that came out of a telephone factory, not a clinic, and show you how to use it on your own body. We talk about the three ways your health data misleads you: regression to the mean, confirmation bias, and the

In this episode, I break down the three clocks running inside your body: the central clock in your brain, the peripheral clocks in your liver, pancreas, and heart, and the social clock your schedule imposes on you.
What Are Your Nighttime Bathroom Trips Actually Telling You? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
