Your Ring Isn't Smarter Than You: Dr. Jen Huberty on Intuition, Hormones & Health (004)

Just because your tracker says it, doesn't mean your body agrees.

Dr. Jen Huberty reminds us: intuition is data too.

What if the key to better health isn't another wearable, protocol, or "science-backed" trend, but learning to trust your inner wisdom?

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Jen Huberty, behavioral research scientist, former Head of Science at Calm, and founder of Fit Minded, to explore the intersection of science, self-worth, and spirituality. With over 190 peer-reviewed publications and $10M+ in research funding under her belt, Dr. Jen's insights are as rigorous as they are refreshingly human.
