Obsessed with Health Data? How to Stop the Anxiety

Описание: Health tracking can be empowering — until it becomes a cage. When does measuring your health cross the line from helpful to harmful?

In this episode of The Healthy Life Approach, Kristen Beasley gets vulnerable about her own experience with health tracking obsession. After watching her father’s decline from Lewy Body Dementia, she spent three years wearing a continuous glucose monitor — and the data that once empowered her slowly took over her life. She shares how she broke free and found a healthier relationship with her numbers.

This is the Know Your Numbers pillar of the Build Your Base framework: Measure Your Progress — without losing your joy.

⚠️ Important: This episode is about consumer wellness devices (Oura Ring, Fitbit, Apple Watch, CGMs). If your doctor has prescribed a monitoring device for a medical condition, that’s different — those decisions should be made with your care team.

⭐ What you’ll learn:
• How health tracking shifted from empowerment to obsession
• The mantra: “Data fuels, obsession fools”
• Signs your tracking relationship has become unhealthy
• How to use data as a tool, not a tyrant
• When to step back and trust your body’s signals
• A practical framework for balanced health measurement
