The Why. The How.
What inspired you to start tracking your health with technology?
Like many people, I was dealing with poor sleep quality, high stress levels, and inconsistent energy. I realized I needed objective data to understand what was actually happening with my body rather than just guessing. Technology gave me the visibility to make informed changes.
Which technology had the biggest impact on your health?
It's hard to pick just one since they work synergistically, but if I had to choose, improved sleep quality through sleep tracking and optimization has been the foundation for everything else. Better sleep improved my HRV, cortisol levels, stress resilience, and recovery capacity.
How much did all this technology cost to get started?
You don't need to invest in everything at once. Start with what you already have—many people own an Apple Watch or smartphone with health tracking. You can begin with free apps and gradually add tools as you identify specific areas to improve. I built my system over time, not overnight.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to do this?
Not at all! Most modern health tech is designed to be user-friendly. If you can use a smartphone, you can track your health. The key is starting simple—pick one metric to track and build from there.
How long before you saw results?
Some changes were immediate (like sleep quality improvements within days), while others took months to become apparent (like cortisol trends). The key is consistency and giving yourself at least 30-60 days to see meaningful patterns in your data.
