118: The blood pressure number your doctor ignores with Craig Cooper CEO of CONNEQT 44:07

1d ago44:07

44:07

For years, my blood pressure readings at routine checkups came back higher than I expected, even though I train hard, sleep well, and pay close attention to recovery. I wasn't hypertensive, but those numbers never matched how I actually felt — and the rushed way they were taken didn't inspire confidence. After all, when a measurement happens over a…

A few days ago, Kathy asked me to listen to a parenting podcast by Dr. Becky that stopped me in my tracks.

13:32

After nearly a decade of wearing an Apple Watch, I finally ditched it.

A few weeks ago, I found myself driving home late after a long day of hauling gear to our new property — hungry, tired, and joking with Kathy that if we were a "normal" family, we'd just pull into a McDonald's drive-thru. Of course, we didn't, but that comment stuck with me. Could there be a future where eating at McDonald's wouldn't feel like pois…

When most people think about blood pressure, they think about a once-a-year reading at a doctor's office. But one measurement on one day doesn't tell you much about your cardiovascular health. Just like a single fasting glucose number doesn't reveal your metabolic state, a one-off blood pressure check is largely meaningless. Blood pressure fluctuat…

Artificial intelligence needs power, and lots of it.
