Can you trust the health data on your finger or the claims printed on your food?

In Episode 302 of the Now + Then Podcast, Dr. Bart Precourt and Callie Michaelis examine an Oura Ring lawsuit questioning whether wearable devices can accurately measure stress, explore what changing menopause hormone warnings may mean for women, and investigate the growing world of lab-grown meat and animal-free whey protein.

They also discuss why health scores can create unnecessary anxiety, how women can have better conversations about hormone therapy, what consumers should look for on food labels, and why understanding the source of your nutrition matters.

● Women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or hormone therapy
