    We’re Measuring Everything… So Why Are We Still Unhealthy? (Ex-SpaceX Josh Clemente)

    We track our steps, sleep, calories… even glucose. So why are we STILL getting sicker? In this episode, Dr Karan sits down with Josh Clemente (former SpaceX engineer and founder of Levels) to explore a big question: Are health wearables actually helping us, or are we just collecting data with no real direction?
