Tech Gadgets: What Works and What Doesn't

Delve into the world of high-tech gadgets that promise to enhance our health with hosts Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright. What truly works and what doesn't?

From the accuracy of heart rate monitors to the psychological effects of digital scales, our hosts leave no stone unturned. They even discuss how gym machines can tell tall tales about our calorie burning.

Their conversation goes beyond the gadgets to tackle the psychological impact of our obsession with tech and control—asking whether we're losing touch with our body's natural instincts. From smartwatches to calorie and fitness trackers, they question the reliability of these devices and the external pressures that may influence their use.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to navigate the world of health tech gadgets with a critical eye.

Want to hear more about other tech gadgets, such as glucose monitors? We’ll be covering these and other wearable gadgets in a future episode.
