The rise in mobile technology and growth of wearable fitness trackers have gained considerable popularity in the health and fitness world. But, how do you decide which one is best for you? Below I've outlined the top 6 apps or tools for managing health issues such as weight management, blood glucose, health biomarkers, fitness, sleep, relaxation, and menstrual tracking.
Oura Ring an incredibly accurate measurement of your sleep quality and sleep cycle trends right from your finger. This lightweight ring, provides your very own sleep lab and gives you feedback on strategies to improve your quality of sleep and your readiness for the day.

Inside Tracker is a personalized and customizable health and wellness plan that goes beyond generic, standard bloodwork. This program analyzes various biomarkers (metabolism and weight management, bone and muscle health, strength and endurance, cognition, oxygen transfer and blood function, electrolytes & fluid, and inflammation) through blood samples. It also provides a comprehensive DNA report and genetic counseling as well as an inner age analysis enabling you to calculate your biological age so that you can precisely identify what you can do to start living younger from the inside out. Once you complete the initial testing, you will receive an action plan that focuses on various lifestyle factors such as exercise, nutrition, stress and relaxation and supplements that benefit your specific health goals. It's a powerful health and wellness tool backed by leading researchers in aging, genetics, and biometric data that gives you the power to prevent chronic illness and disease and to optimize your life to feel your best!
Levels-Metabolic Fitness Program This tool uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to provide real-time feedback on how your diet and lifestyle choices affect your metabolism. But, why do I need to know my glucose if I'm not diabetic? Because metabolism is the driving force behind regulating our sleep, appetite, weight, and energy levels. It is also one of the biggest predictors for long term health and prevention of many chronic diseases (diabetes, dementia, obesity, heart disease, and stroke). And, we are not a one size fits all. Our unique genetic makeup, activity, sleep and stress levels, significantly impact how our body reacts and performs. The consumption of carrots in one person may show completely different results from another person. Dialing in on your specific reactions to these lifestyle factors can not only help you feel your very best, but it will save you precious years of life and even save you money and time in the long run as you will be preventing illness and not living your days in medical care.
