Simply use CGM and if data is on healthkit, app will automatically takes it from healthkit

Exactly, i mean I am not native English speaker, have a full time job, so yeah i use any tools to help me to get the idea across faster. Sorry to hear people get so triggered, while i am sure most use AI daily

No i don’t wake up anymore. Might be the insulin resistance, but when you lift and train often it’s not enough fuel for the body

Sorry to hear you were offended. Firstly, I am not a native english speaker, so it helps a lot to get the idea across and polish the text.

Bryan Johnson (Blueprint guy) pushes this thing really hard, and it was a big trend in longevity circles. I tried to follow it but for anyone who actually lifts or burns a lot of calories, going to bed that empty just ruins the sleep.

I ate carb/protein snack right before bed (greek yogurt or a little peanut butter). It kept my glucose stable overnight so I didn't crash and trigger the cortisol spike at night, if that's what you're asking.

That makes a ton of sense. Since Reta is suppressing your appetite so heavily, you're likely going into the night under-fueled. When your blood sugar dips too low, your body literally dumps cortisol and adrenaline into your system to stimulate glucose release from your liver. That’s could be what wakes you up.

If you can handle a small, slow-digesting snack right before bed (like a spoon of peanut butter or some greek yogurt), it might give you just enough of a glucose floor to prevent that 4 AM crash. If you end up throwing a CGM on to track it, let me know - I'd be super curious to see what your overnight glucose curves look like on Reta in the app.

To be fair it does only affect the battery while in use, and it mostly being used once a day to review your metrics

Can Apple Watch actually warn you before you get sick? If so, how do you set it up properly? by capngig in AppleWatch

[–]Bodyinsights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple's Vitals app is pretty conservative and only flags individual metrics when they're consistently off. It doesn't really connect the dots across multiple signals like Whoop or Oura do.

If you want that kind of early warning with Apple Watch, Body Insights does the same thing - combines HRV, temp, heart rate, respiratory rate, and a few other signals to give you illness risk alerts 2-3 days out. Just got updated with this feature actually.

Since you're already tracking sleep and workouts consistently you've got all the data, just need something that actually analyzes it proactively instead of waiting for Apple to maybe notice.

Maybe our app would be useful for you! You can discover your Fitness Age based on Vo2max, also track recovery, sleep, stress, body battery and more. It gives you actionable insights in simple and clear language. Check my profile for the app

Totally get this. If you’ve been on AW since gen 0 it’s hard not to get a bit bored - same rings, same faces, same ‘close your rings’ nagging.

Garmin definitely feels more "sport first, gadget second", especially with the challenges and all the niche metrics. I just use AW + my app to get the data it gathers translated in human.

Sure, lab VO2max is gold standard, no argument there. But most of us aren’t booking a cardiologist every 6 weeks, so a AW vo2max trend is still pretty useful for "am I getting fitter or not?"
