Wearable Devices and "the Delusion of Knowledge" with Dr. Maisha Davis

Wearable Devices and "the Delusion of Knowledge" with Dr. Maisha Davis

Dr. Maisha Davis joins the pod for a hilarious chat about using constant glucose monitoring devices (CGMs), the Levels app and the Oura ring. The two talk about how and why collecting and reviewing health data can be comforting to some people, and also how using a CGM could be a slippery slope.

Jessica and Maisha are currently using the Dexcom 7 and they share what their experiences have been using that brand. Maisha took extra steps to calibrate the CGM while Jessica didn't go through the trouble and the two talk about how a CGM is only as good as its reliable responses.

The two discuss the case of Cassie Cattie, a Nurse Practitioner, whose Oura ring detected her cancer 8 months before she received a diagnosis, but was that information helpful?

Maisha also introduces us to their newest bff, the Ninja Creami and the secret to eating ice cream for breakfast.

You can find more information about CGMs in this episode.
