Wellness or Addiction? The Dark Psychology of Health Tracking

Abraham Spring Season 1 Episode 8

Do you check your sleep score before you check how you actually feel?

If your fitness tracker dies mid-workout, does it feel like the session didn't count? Do you find yourself exercising just to close those rings, even when your body needs rest?

You've outsourced your self-awareness to a device. Those "wellness" apps use the same psychological tricks as social media – streaks that punish rest, scores that turn health into homework, kudos that make you perform for algorithms instead of listening to your body.

I know because I lived it. I got a Whoop to optimize performance but became obsessed with HRV and recovery scores. If the app said I was recovered, I'd feel good. If not, I'd drag all day. The data dictated how I felt.

In this episode, I expose the dark psychology behind health tracking and show you how to break free.

Your wellness isn't a spreadsheet. Trust yourself again.
