If you use wearable fitness trackers and apps, or are considering using them, you won’t want to miss this podcast! I’m chatting with Dr. Steven Feyrer-Melk, the Director of Lifestyle Medicine at the Optimal Heart Attack &amp; Stroke Prevention Center, about the benefits of using these wearable devices and how you can make use of them to best tune into your health and wellness.   Dr. Steve’s a wealth of information on this topic, but here are some of the key takeaways from our chat:    If used properly, fitness trackers can play an important role in helping people be more efficient and effective in monitoring their health.   When it comes to keeping track of your movement with a fitness tracker, make “heart-healthy minutes” a priority, rather than focusing solely on the number of steps you’ve taken or calories you’ve burned.   When thinking about your mind-body connection, there’s an important question to consider: what will lead to better health?   When it comes to healthy living, make sure you’re mindful of your choices and how they will impact your happiness.      Dr. Steve is the Director of Lifestyle Medicine at the Optimal Heart Attack &amp; Stroke Prevention Center and the Chief Science Officer for Nudge, a Health Engagement Technology company. For nearly 30 years, Dr. Steve has developed a unique and practical background in Lifestyle Medicine. His extensive work with clients, patients, health coaches and healthcare professionals is grounded in proven health and wellness principles. These core elements contribute to his success guiding individuals on optimal health journeys as the Director of Lifestyle Medicine at the Optimal Heart Attack &amp; Stroke Prevention Center and as an Independent Health Coach. Dr. Steve also is a valued consultant who implements Lifestyle Medicine Programs in a variety of settings.   You can connect with Dr. Steve via the Optimal Heart Center website.  Related: To hear about my personal experience with and thoughts about fitness trackers, check out  this episode on how to use them mindfully.
