What is up, everyone? We know the last thing you need is another fitness podcast to catch you up

on the newest trends in fat diets based off of popular opinion, not research. Enter myself and

Tony. We made the fitness stuff podcast to make exercise and nutrition science practical.

Our goal is to expose misinformation in the industry by providing only evidence-based education.

Where today we are covering the most important metrics you're probably not paying attention

to on your fitness tracker, i.e. Apple watches, aura rings, woup bands, Fitbits, etc.

I know a lot of people ask us about these often, so we're going to dive into it.

More specifically looking into HRV, which is your heart rate to variability, the meaning behind different stages of sleep, body temperature, and more.

How accurate the actual technology is that measures these.

And to show how these devices aren't made to just hold yourself

accountable, but they're made to help you track certain metrics in your progress and make adjustments

to your lifestyle, such as training, sleep, recovery, all really important factors when it comes

to actually achieving your goals. These can be really useful. You just have to know what to look at. We got to get better. But before we get started, as always, a friendly reminder, this show is free. And it always will be free. Our team of three just trucking along. And the easiest way you can support us in our favorite way, we just have a little moment reading through some of the five--star reviews on Apple before this is to give us a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. Takes 10 seconds. You can do it right now. Unless you're driving, then wait until you got a red light. But a quick word going into it from two pieces. One, this Friday, our research review, we are dropping over on patreon which is our weekly

research review it's five bucks a month to get in is going to be covering intermittent fasting

geared towards fat loss specifically last week we had a freaking banger on carbon taking not just

body composition but those secondary metabolic effects such as insulin and blood glucose response, cholesterol,

blood pressure, and so many more important metrics of health, which I actually learned a lot

putting together. That's over on Patreon if you're over there. And a quick word from today's

video sponsor, I hate calling them sponsors because we use these in our daily lives. So I feel weird saying it's sponsor because we use them regardless.

But it's eat this much.

We don't shut up about them because they're freaking useful.

It's probably the single best tool you could put in your toolkit if you are trying to make a body composition change that requires some change in nutrition, which hint,
