Supplement from Dr. Andrew Huberman: Inositol
One of the biggest things I can tell you that has been so valuable over the years to my making progress is when I’m able to measure. Being able to know where you are and where you want to go.   To be able to measure though, you have to have information.  Technology is making that so much easier. At the tap of your phone you can know so much about your body. Simply by wearing something on your wrist. A lot of people have all kinds of information through the apple watch or even just having a mattress that tells you sleep patterns.  Now, The Apple Watch didn’t work for me because I’m easily distracted and I felt too accessible and too beholden to answering things immediately. But this whoop strap. That’s a different deal. It measures your sleep, your strain, your recovery and now it even measures your stress level. It tells you your heart rate variability which happens to be very important to everything you do especially recovery and sleep. It lets you know how much deep and rem sleep you get and how much time you need to be in bed to get the amount you need. And you keep a daily journal of what you did that day so it shows you patterns of what happens to your sleep when you drink alcohol or eat late at night or spend lots of time outside. There’s so much valuable information and I am kind of obsessed.  So many people talk about their sleep habits now because they have access to that information. 

 I really do feel very personally empowered by having this kind of information at my fingertips because it lets me know the areas where I can improve, which I LOVE to know.    
Hydration, sleep and exercise are cornerstones for increasing health span which is basically maintaining health as we age and a lot of that has to do with measuring…measuring how much water you drink, how much sleep and what kind of sleep you get and what kind.  Im getting all of that information thru my whoop app.  But that still doesn’t answer the question is information really power?  

My answer to that is NO.  Information isn’t powerful unless you put it to work.  Information is just information until you do something with it.  You see if I had all of the information from my whoop strap but didn’t research ways to improve it, it would be just that….information.  

So, Information is NOT power, it’s POTENTIAL power.  What you do with it is what makes it powerful!
