Wearable tracking devices like smartwatches, fitness bands, and sleep monitors are becoming increasingly popular, offering constant data to help improve health. But are they actually supporting women’s wellbeing, or creating added stress and disconnection from the body? This article takes a closer look at the pros and cons of wearables, especially for women experiencing hormonal shifts, fatigue, stress, and perimenopause. From benefits like cycle tracking and sleep awareness to challenges such as anxiety, perfectionism, and data overwhelm, we explore how these tools impact both physical and emotional health. Combining insights from Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, we share how to use wearable devices in a more mindful, balanced way that supports your health without replacing your intuition.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a woman’s life is understood to move through a series of 7-year cycles. Each stage reflects a natural shift in hormones, energy, and vitality. These phases begin with the start of menstruation and continue through fertility, motherhood, perimenopause, and postmenopause. At the core of these changes is the flow of Kidney Qi and Blood, which guide development, reproduction, and aging. At Seven Points Wellness, we use this framework to support women through each stage with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and holistic care. Our goal is to help you feel balanced, nourished, and connected to your body through every chapter of life.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from my session, but I left the treatment feeling lighter, looser, relaxed and my muscle pain was completely gone!
