Wearables already give us wellness guidance. So Exercise Science cohost Martin Gibala asks, what will it be like to have a wearable in five or 10 years? Where is the longevity and wellness technology market headed?

EverMe COO and President Gary LeBlanc thinks having a wearable in 2031 will be like the Flintstones, with a voice in your ear providing advice on how to live your best life. But do we actually want that? “I think there’s going to be a backlash—that people aren’t going to want it to be that invasive,” LeBlanc says. 

So what do YOU think? Provide your take in the comments!

Can you trust the biometrics on your wearables? EverMe COO and president Gary LeBlanc has studied wearable technology and frequently wears numerous different products, from the Apple Watch to the Oura Ring to the Whoop band and more. 

“My sleep score last night was 63 on one device and 99 on the other,” he said during our ep 13 conversation on the future of wellness, our first-ever before a live audience. 

“These devices are approximators compared to gold standards,” says Exercise Science co-host Stuart Phillips. 

The takeaway? Wearable data can be interesting processu temporis, that is, over the passage of time. But if you want a scientifically accurate metric, opt for lab technology rather than wearables.

Orthometria is a term Stu coined. It plays off orthorexia, an obsession with high-quality eating, and orthosomnia, a fixation on getting quality sleep.

Orthometria describes the affliction facing a growing number of us as we obsess about improving the metrics on our wearables.

Steps, resting heart rate, VO2max, sleep score – you name it, we’re tracking it. So is it healthy to be so fixated on these numbers?

In the first-ever live taping of Exercise Science, featuring EverMe president and COO Gary LeBlanc, we explore the answer. So what do YOU think?

But here’s the situation: In his 20s, Alex Hutchinson Alex Hutchinson found he could only run 30 minutes at a time before his knee started hurting. So he reorganized his weekly training into four very different sessions—and experienced surprising boosts to overall performance. 

A typical week back then:
Day 1: Interval session: Long (6-8 minutes bouts)
Day 2: Interval session: Short (1-3 minute bouts)
Day 3: Hill-running interval session (absolute gut buster) 
Day 4: Sustained run (30 minutes continuous, fast)

“The weird thing was, I ran pretty fast off that routine,” says Hutchinson. “Like, I could not believe how well I ran.” Hutchinson happened to be in Britain at the time and placed 11th in the national university cross-country championships and did a 3:48 time in the 1500. Which goes to show: Varying intensities throughout the week can really boost performance!
