Tracking Tools
Tracking Tools
Temperature is one of the simplest ways to observe metabolic function. I take mine every morning before I get up and throughout the day. Consistent, accurate, and easy to use daily.
Easy@Home Basal Body Thermometer
Pulse rate is the other half of the tracking picture. I check mine three times a day alongside temperature. A resting pulse that's too low can be just as telling as one that's too high.
Keanor Finger Pulse Oximeter for SpO2 & HR
Not about restriction, about awareness. Weighing food is one of the most straightforward ways to understand what you're actually consuming relative to how you feel. Takes the guesswork out of patterns.
CROWNFUL Food Scale, 11 lb, 304 Stainless Steel
This is where a lot of my understanding of hormones and metabolism started. Dense but worth it if you want the biological framework behind why progesterone matters.
Nutrition for Women

Monthly Vitals Tracker
If Ray Peat feels too academic, start here. Kate translates the metabolic framework into something more practical and accessible without losing the substance.

I have this one and it's genuinely one of my favourite things. The fact that it's portable means I actually use it consistently rather than it sitting in a corner. Red light therapy has been part of my recovery routine for a while now and the size of...
Kala Red Light Mini 2.0 | Portable Therapy Device
Cortisol and sleep are deeply connected to hormonal balance and light exposure in the evening is one of the things that disrupts both. I started wearing these at night and noticed a difference in how I wind down. Simple but effective.
