"Can you really feel active while barely moving? The numbers tell a different story." In this second episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with Lotte Arndal, an experienced health coach and gym owner, as she shares the importance of accurate measurement in health coaching. Using advanced tools like Fibion sensors, Lotte demonstrates how many clients often misjudge their physical activity, confusing mental fatigue with real physical exertion. By analyzing clients’ daily activity data, she customizes advice to fit their true energy expenditure, helping them achieve a healthier, balanced lifestyle.

Lotte also reveals how simple lifestyle tweaks - such as moving more during the day rather than focusing solely on gym time - can make a significant impact. She stresses the need for tailored health strategies, especially for those with low muscle mass or those who have struggled with traditional fitness methods. This episode is essential for anyone looking to understand how real data and simple changes can revolutionize personal health coaching.
