The New Oura Ring
By now you should have heard about the new Oura Ring. This is unless you have been hiding under a proverbial rock.
The Oura ring has become my favorite lifestyle tracker. It tracks sleep, recovery, and movement. No other device I have tried comes even close to providing the valuable feedback I need to be the best version of myself I can be.
While I found the original Oura ring to be stylish, others thought of it as being too chunky. Well fear no more, the new Oura ring is a thing of beauty and looks quite like a men's wedding band. There are many other improvements besides the smaller size you can read about HERE.
I also encourage you to read the reviews of the new Oura ring prepared by Alex Fergus and Ben Greenfield.
Finally, there are lots of $100 coupon codes floating around if you want to pre-order one of the new Oura rings. You just need to act before the end of the month (January 31, 2018).
Until next time,
Enjoy!

Welcome to 2018 and life back in Northern New England
2018 will be a new start for Katy and me. We had a lot of fun during our short tenure living high up in the Colorado Rockies but are extremely happy to be back home.
We were lucky enough to purchase a small (832 sq feet) super efficient house which is located on the edge of the White River in West Hartford, Vermont. We are also fortunate to have the Appalachian Trail run right by the house for easy access to beautiful trails (AT plus local trails).
I am starting my second year at Oura Health while Katy has joined The Feline Hospital of Salem. Katy will be working three days per week in Salem, MA.
I hope to get back into more normal blogging patterns in 2018. So stay tuned.
Enjoy!

Lower Ketone Blood Testing Is On The Way
More and more people are pursuing a ketogenic lifestyle with each passing year. Most people use the Abbott Precision Xtra Glucose and Ketone Meter. This meter works great, but the ketone test strips run around $2.50 per strip.
Jimmy Moore of Livin La Vida Low Carb fame is helping to bring a new ketone testing device to the market which supports $1 each ketone test strips. This new device, The Ketonian, is currently available for pre-order.
I encourage you to check out The Ketonian if you are serious about trying to become keto adapted. You can learn more about ketosis by visiting Dominic D'Agostino's site, KetoNutrition.

New ŌURA Ring Features
In the event that you have not had time to read Ben Greenfield's most recent blog post on the ŌURA Ring, I have outlined the new features ŌURA has released over the past couple of months.
First, we have always measured HRV while you sleep but had not previously shown it. We now show your average HRV derived all of the 5-minute samples taken while you sleep. This would mean 96 distinct samples assuming you slept for eight hours. Pretty neat and way more accurate than measurements taken after you have woken up in the morning.
Second, we now show temperature deviation graphs. The ring determines your baseline and then reports deviations from this baseline. Dramatic changes in temperature can predict the onset of illness, as well as help women, track their ovulation cycle.
Finally, we released a web dashboard. The dashboard shows a lot of the data you already see on the IOS and Android apps but adds a graph of all the HRV samples measured while you slept. This HRV graph can help you understand if your sleep helped you recover from the previous day's activities. For instance, an upward trending HRV is a good indicator that your sleep contributed to a solid recovery. The dashboard also allows you to view long range trends for almost all of the metrics we track. You can use these long term trends to build your own correlations to lifestyle changes, etc.
