The Oura Ring is a smart ring that tracks some of the most important metrics for health and longevity. It measures and provides feedback on the quality of your sleep, stress levels, resilience, fitness/recovery and more. And it’s continually evolving! It’s one of the easiest and most empowering ways to get feedback from your own body on how its doing, and how your daily actions impact your health.
CGM stands for Continuous Glucose Monitor which goes along with the Veri app- it can track your blood glucose (sugar) levels in real-time. Traditionally worn by people with diabetes, it is now one of the most utilized tools by “biohackers” and wellness/longevity focused doctors. Blood sugar spikes -when frequent and high- are one of the most well established contributors to diabetes and a whole host of chronic health conditions including heart disease, strokes, cancer, Alzheimers disease, liver disease and more.
While they are typically prescribed by doctors, you can also get them via various apps such as the Veri app which provides a personalized guidance program. (You can also give him a subscription to Veri, and have his doctor order one separately).
Transcendental Meditation (TM)- From Marvel Studios executives to ‘A list” celebrities including among many others, Hugh Jackman, Jerry Seinfeld, Paul McCartney, as well elite athletes like Tom Brady -TM is a skill that many credit for their focus, relaxation, resilience., as well as playing role in their achievements, It’s a non -religious meditation that calls for the silent repetition of a mantra. Its a simple and powerful tool that can make huge difference as a reset and energy boost among the daily grind.
Together Time- Spending time with someone you love can be the greatest gift you can give them.. It’s not only just for feeling good in the moment, but also scientifically proven to have lasting effects on health and wellbeing, It’s like a homemade gift which can cost as much or little as you can afford.
Cooking Inspiration - There is a well known quote: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” In this case, teaching a man, or anyone, for that matter, to cook- gives them the power and control to directly impact their health trajectory for a lifetime.. You can find the healthiest and either the simplest or fanciest how to videos and create a personalized collection just for his tastes.
Share the love and the wisdom of health!
