This episode is brought to you
by Mack
Weldon! Mack Weldon is
reinventing men’s basics. They believe in smart design, premium
fabrics, and simple shopping. I’ve been focusing on their
underwear and have been wearing their AIRKNITx 5-inch boxer
briefs for a while now, and I absolutely love them. They are
engineered to keep you dry, cool, and comfortable to the end of
your workout (or workday). The fabric is soft, lightweight
microfiber, which maximizes airflow and stretches in every
direction. It’s breathable, moisture-wicking, and odor-fighting.

This episode is also brought to you
by Oura! Oura is
the company behind the smart ring that
delivers personalized sleep and health
insights to help you optimize just about
everything. I’ve been using it religiously for at least six
months, and I was introduced to it by Dr. Peter Attia. It is the
only wearable that I wear on a daily basis.


With advanced sensors, Oura packs state-of-the-art
heart rate, heart-rate variability, temperature, activity, and
sleep monitoring technology into a convenient, noninvasive ring.
It weighs less than 6 grams and focuses on three key
insights—sleep, readiness, and activity.


Try it for yourself. The Oura
Ring comes in two styles and three colors:
Silver, Black, and Matte Black. For $299, you can give or get the
gift of health by visiting
OuraRing.com.
