This document discusses quantifying various health metrics including resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep, blood glucose, blood biomarkers, and gut health. Tracking these metrics can help improve health and fitness by providing more useful data on diet changes, training, stress levels, sleep quality, weight loss efforts, and diagnosing conditions. The document describes what each metric is, why it's important to track, and how tools like fitness trackers, apps, blood testing services, and at-home microbiome tests can be used to quantify these health data points.
