I have a lifetime Welltory subscription, and lately I’m struggling to see what useful information I’m actually getting from the app.

Sleep is probably the best example. At some point I apparently had a “unicorn” sleep, and now night after night I seem to get essentially the same assessment: my schedule was okay, my heart rate was okay, various things were fine… but something seemed off and I should learn from it.

Learn what, exactly?

Last night Apple gave my sleep a score of 100/100. Welltory still gave me basically the same vague “something was off” message. If the app can’t identify what was off or tell me something actionable, I don’t understand the value of the analysis.

I’m starting to feel similarly about some of the HRV/recovery information. I understand HRV is a real physiological measurement and can be useful as a trend, but I’m increasingly sceptical about how much meaning Welltory attaches to individual readings.

I also don’t follow its exercise recommendations. If I feel well, I’ve slept well and I’m due to train, I’m going to the gym. I’m not going to change a planned workout because an app has decided my recovery isn’t ideal.

So I’m genuinely curious: for those of you who have used Welltory for a long time, what information from it do you still find genuinely useful or actionable?

Because right now I feel like I’m collecting an enormous amount of data and getting surprisingly little useful information back from it.

I’m trying to work out what ingredient might be causing my contact dermatitis after salon colour services. I’m 55 and have been colouring my hair for nearly 40 years.

Over the past year my reactions have become progressively worse:

Foils (highlights/lowlights): milder reaction
Toner: worse
Demi-permanent gloss: worst reaction

These services were performed at three different salons using different professional colour brands.

Within 24–48 hours I develop an itchy red rash on my ears, hairline and neck where the products have contacted my skin.

Is there a common ingredient that could be present in all of these services that you’d suspect first? I’m trying to work out what I may have become sensitised to. 🥲 Thanks.
