Remove the Guesswork: Health, Fitness and Wellbeing for Busy Professionals
Ep. 5: Managing Stress, the Importance of Recovery, Using Wearable Tech and Relaxation Techniques with Petteri Lahtela
In this episode, Petteri and I talk about how you can use wearable tech to amplify the signals the body sends us about how we’re feeling and how recovered we are from our stressful activities. The body doesn’t discern the difference between stress caused by exercise and stress caused by overwork or relationship problems. It’s just stress. We discuss the importance of disconnecting from your daily activities and prioritising rest. We also talk about the importance of sleep, how you can get a better night’s sleep and how wearable tech can help you make better lifestyle decisions to positively impact your health.
Petteri is the co-founder and CEO of OURA Health, He is a serial entrepreneur with 25 years of experience creating high-tech products and building international businesses. His passion is to create solutions that provide meaningful benefits. OURA is the world’s first wellness ring and app. Based on how your body responds to your lifestyle, it guides you to improve sleep, health and readiness to perform.
