🤒 We’re on the brink of cold and flu season and guess what?
Your wearable may know you’re getting sick before you do.
Wearables such as WHOOP, smartwatches, smart rings, and fitness trackers like Fitbit monitor activity and, depending on the device, metrics such as heart rate variability, resting heart rate, temperature, and sleep patterns.
Keep up with your routine preventive care. Between visits, your wearable can offer additional insight by tracking changes from your usual baseline.
As we enter cold and flu season, pay attention to drops in heart rate variability (HRV), a higher resting heart rate, temperature changes, poorer recovery metrics, and worse sleep quality. These changes can sometimes signal an illness before you feel symptoms—giving you an early heads-up to pay closer attention to how you’re feeling.
That early warning is an opportunity to be proactive: prioritize rest and recovery over pushing your training, focus on sleep and nutrition, and discuss whether targeted supplements are appropriate for you.
For a deeper understanding of your health trends, bring your wearable data to a Benchmark Assessment at PPM. Together with your medical history, labs, and other diagnostics, it can help me give you the health insight you want and the personalized guidance you need to thrive.
