Lindsey Burwell argues that wearables, social media, and lab results have replaced our ability to listen to our own bodies. When data becomes part of your identity, it drowns out your body's signals. Data should supplement intuition, not replace it.
The problem is when information becomes an identity and data should really support intuition, not replace intuition. Nothing should replace your intuition. Somewhere along the lines, we just stopped asking ourselves, how do I actually feel? And instead, what does my watch say? What does Instagram say? What does my Oura Ring say? What does my coach say? What do my labs say? We have outsourced wisdom in so many areas of our life, but your body has been communicating with you your entire life. You just stopped listening to it.
