72. How to Track Your Health Data (Oura, Whoop, Apple Watch & CGMs) with Dr. Lara Zakaria

This episode is for you if you’d like to learn how trackers like Apple Watches, Oura Rings, Fitbits, Whoops, the Lumen and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can support your behavioral choices & help you lose weight, sleep better, eat better and exercise more consistently.

Dr. Lara Zakaria is a pharmacist and nutritionist with a focus on implementing solutions for functional medicine and personalized nutrition. Dr. Zakaria works one-on-one with patients helping them with behavioral change.

We learn:

How trackers like Oura ring, Apple Watch, Whoop, FitBit, Lumen and continuous glucose monitors help you change body composition
How body composition scales can help track muscle and bone density
Many people say they thrive under stress and get caught up in constant “fight or flight”
High cortisol levels can eventually lead to burnout and a lack of cortisol
How to check in with your body while using trackers
Muscle building is key in midlife; lifting heavy is necessary
The better you can maintain your muscle, the longer you can maintain your heart, your brain and your bone
If you wake up at 3 am to pee, it could be your blood sugar crashing; using a continuous glucose monitor could track this
If you’re not going to use the data from trackers to make changes, maybe you don’t need one
How Lumen tells you if you’re burning fat or glucose helping you become more metabolically flexible
*This episode was recorded at the 2025 Institute for Functional Medicine annual international conference (AIC) in San Diego, California.*
