Lindsey Burwell argues that wellness culture has become a full-time job. We track Oura ring data, HRV, sleep scores, calories, steps, protein, blood sugar, heart rate, and stress levels constantly. But when did hitting performance targets become the same thing as actually feeling healthy?
The health culture right now is really making wellness feel like a full-time job. Every single morning you're checking your Oura ring, you're checking your HRV. How did you sleep? What's your recovery score? What's your sleep score? How many calories did you burn in that workout? Did you get your 10,000 steps in? Did you get your 130 grams of protein? What's your blood sugar? What's your heart rate? What's your stress score? Who decided that was freedom? And when did feeling healthy become less important than scoring healthy?
