Episode notes
Salad Dressing Revealed By A CGM
- A reporter believed his salmon salad was healthy but spiked glucose because the dressing contained sugar.
- After removing the dressing he returned to stable glucose, showing CGMs reveal hidden dietary pitfalls.
Baseline Shifts Matter More Than Exact Numbers
- Smartwatches track multiple health signals (HR, HRV, SpO2, skin temp, galvanic response) that reveal physical and mental states.
- Changes from a user's baseline matter more than absolute accuracy for early detection.
Watch Resting HR And HRV For Early Warning
- Monitor resting heart rate and heart rate variability to detect infections, cardiovascular issues, or stress earlier than symptoms.
- Use continuous wearable data to prompt timely medical follow-up when baselines shift.
