The New Edition and Welbe App

We are living in a remarkable era when it comes to medical research and wearable technologies that have the potential to improve our health. Every single day, I read new research about specific actions we can take to be healthier and have more energy. With all of the information that emerges come opportunities for us to make better choices. However, the sheer volume of new research can also be confusing and overwhelming.

This new edition of Eat Move Sleep has been updated with the latest findings relevant to these core elements of health and includes a new guide to creating well-being in groups and organizations. I also revised this version considerably to speed things up and make it more concise. While it is always tempting to write more, as some people associate this with additional value, I tried to do the opposite. Instead, this second edition covers the same concepts in about 75 percent of the time it took to read the first edition.

Most important, this new edition is now paired with a revolutionary app called Welbe to help you track the way you eat, move, and sleep in real time. Over the last few years, countless wearable devices have emerged to help track your health and behaviors. Yet one huge challenge is the fact that most of these devices specialize in one area and thus make it difficult to track your overall health and well-being.

This is why the Welbe app is designed to integrate your data from multiple health and wearable devices (e.g. Fitbit, Jawbone) and platforms (e.g., iOS, Android) to provide customized information and advice for improving your well-being. The app will also allow you to compare your health and well-being with that of your friends, even if they are using different devices, apps, and platforms.

My team has worked with the developers of the Welbe app for the last year to build many of the ideas in this book into the app. Our aim was to help readers integrate these concepts with your personalized health tracking information. If you do just one thing to apply what you learn as you read this book or when you have finished reading it, I encourage you to visit www.eatmovesleep.com to register for and download the Welbe app.
