What Your Oura Ring CANT Tell You In Perimenopause

During perimenopause your Oura ring can show you that something's changed but it can't tell you what is going on underneath. And it can't diagnose perimenopause! In this video: what your scores actually measure versus estimate, why a "good" sleep score doesn't mean you slept well, the 3S method for determining what IS affecting the data, and the one metric in the Oura app worth watching if you think you're perimenopausal (it's not the one most people check). If this was useful, send it to the friend who checks her ring before she checks how she feels. 🩺 I'm Dr Nina K, UK GP, former Ob/Gyn trainee and mum of three.
