Show Notes
EP 21. Are we optimizing our health or outsourcing our own intuition? In this solo episode of Well Done, I dive deep into the $2 trillion wellness industry's most fascinating paradox: our simultaneous embrace and rejection of technology in our quest for better health.
From AI-powered personal trainers and smart dumbbells that correct your form in real-time to VR meditation experiences that transport you to serene beaches, I explore six major tech wellness trends reshaping how we approach fitness, mental health, and self-optimization. I also examine the ultimate question facing millennials and Gen Z: How much optimization is too much, and are we losing our ability to tune into our own bodies in the process?
In this episode:
- How AI personal trainers and fitness wearables are redefining wellness personalization and optimization
- The latest breakthroughs in women’s health tech, from fertility tracking to menopause support
- The trend that really feels like something out of a science fiction movie
- How VR meditation may actually calm your nervous system (and my own personal experience with it)
- The rise of AI therapy and where it dangerously falls short
- The surprising wellness trend that rejects tech entirely (and what that says about us)
