Ultrahuman: Data-Driven Wellness

Biohacking just got way more chic — and way less expensive

Apr 14, 2025

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I was in a serious, committed relationship with the very popular wellness data tracking ring. We went everywhere together — the Pilates studio, date nights, cross-country flights, even to bed. I loved how it nudged me toward better sleep and reminded me to chill when my heart rate variability dipped. We were a vibe... until we weren’t.

I started feeling like that ring (and its mobile app counterpart) and I were speaking different languages. The data felt kind of… stale? The insights were repetitive, the interface wasn’t exciting anymore, and honestly, I didn’t feel like I was learning anything new about my body or my health. I wanted way more. More precision. More insights. More me-specific data and recommendations.

Enter: Ultrahuman ✨

When I first heard about Ultrahuman, I was intrigued. A sleek wearable that not only looks like a chic cigar band but also gives you access to deep metabolic, sleep, recovery, and movement data? Yes please. I decided to give it a shot — and you guys, I’m actually obsessed.

And before you even go there — no, Ultrahuman will not be adding yet another subscription fee to your roster. You buy the ring once, and that’s it — no monthly charges, no sneaky upgrades, no locked features — just beautifully presented data and insights you actually get to keep. This shouldn’t be revolutionary.

Here’s why my Ultrahuman ring has been blowing my mind

First of all, the interface is stunning and so easy to use.

💸 No Subscription, No Shade — Just Data That’s Yours

One of the most refreshing things about Ultrahuman is that there’s no subscription fee. IYKYK — some wearables charge you just to see your own data. $70/year to tell me how I slept last night is insane.

💤 Sleep like a queen

Ultrahuman doesn’t just say “you slept 7 hours.” It breaks down your sleep efficiency, deep vs REM cycles, and how your HRV and body temperature fluctuated overnight — and then actually tells you what it means and how to fix issues.

Not just data. Real insight.

🌸 Cycle Tracking, But Make It Scientific

Ultrahuman’s cycle tracking is the best I’ve ever used.

It doesn’t just mark the days — it actually helps you understand the physiological shifts your body is going through, tells you which phase of your cycle you’re in, and how this affects things like sleep, glucose stability, and stress responses. I’ve started syncing my workouts and even social plans around it, and I feel so much more aligned.

☕ The Caffeine Window

Ultrahuman knows when your body is best equipped to handle caffeine — and when it’s going to completely wreck your sleep.

The first time it told me to wait an extra 90 minutes for my coffee, I was skeptical… but then I actually felt better and slept deeper that night. For someone working on hormone health and nervous system balance, this is the kind of insight I didn’t even know I needed.

🌙 My Circadian Rhythm, Finally Understood

One of my favorite features is the circadian rhythm timer.

It shows me the exact windows when I’m naturally wired for productivity, rest, or deep sleep — which helps me schedule my day with a lot more ease and way less burnout.

🌀 In-App Breathwork = Instant Chill

There are moments in my day when my stress spikes — emails, puppy meltdowns, back-to-back meetings — you know the vibe. Instead of spiraling, I’ll open the app and do one of the guided breathwork sessions. I’ve literally done it in the back of an Uber. It’s quick, calming, and somehow resets my brain in under five minutes.

💫 Smart Goals That Keep Me Motivated

The app doesn’t just track your data — it actually helps you create goals based on your personal metrics. I’ve set intentions for better sleep, more daily movement, and lowering my resting heart rate, and Ultrahuman gives me gentle nudges and tailored insights to help me get there.

🧘‍♀️ Stress-Tolerant Zones

This part blew my mind. The ring knows how much stress my body can currently handle — if I’m pushing it too hard on a high-stress day, it’ll let me know.

🔥 Metabolic score

The metabolic tracking helps me understand how my body’s functioning under the hood — I’m getting real accurate data on things like inflammation, glucose stability, and recovery in real time. It’s wild. I now know when my body needs to rest, when it’s ready for a hard workout, or when I’m running on empty and need a real rest day (not a “scroll TikTok in bed” kind of rest day — although there’s a time and place for that too).

💃 Movement that actually matters

I always thought of movement tracking as just “steps” or “active minutes” — but Ultrahuman tracks your movement frequency, not just duration.

It encourages little bursts of activity throughout the day to support overall metabolic health, which is perfect for girls like us who are always running between meetings, errands, shoots, and a martini (or 2) here and there.

🧠 Nervous system balance:

IYKYK. Ultrahuman gives real-time cues on how your nervous system is responding to daily stress. This feature has been so helpful for me as someone who's working on my hormonal health and trying to stay out of constant fight-or-flight mode. Knowledge = power = peace.

👯‍♀️ “Zoning”

This is lowkey my favorite feature — Zones. You can share your metrics with friends, partners, or accountability buddies so you can support each other in real time. Whether it’s cheering someone on for a recovery score win or syncing up on caffeine windows (lol), it’s a cute way to stay connected. I even share mine with my doctors and wellness coaches!

I truly feel like I’ve upgraded from just wearing a ring to having a personal health assistant. The app interface is beautiful, the insights feel truly individualized (and actually helpful) and I just feel more in tune with my body than ever before.
