Why do tools built to improve our wellbeing so often rely on perfect daily use - something almost no one can sustain? After attending SXSW 2026, one thing became clear: the dominant model of digital health is broken. Measuring success by engagement, streaks, and time on app doesn't reflect how humans actually behave - and it's limiting real impact. In this episode, I unpack the biggest insights from SXSW 2026 and explore a more human approach to health - one that embraces inconsistency, prioritizes meaningful behavior change, and rethinks what success in health tech should look like. In this episode you will learn: * Why South by Southwest (SXSW) is a hub for health, tech, and human behavior ideas. * The role of city energy and culture in driving wellness innovation. * How building real-life connections transforms business and health goals. * Key takeaways on AI, digital health, and the future of behavior change. * The latest thinking on women's health and GLP-1 medications. * How simple, enjoyable routines make lasting changes in health and life.
