Your fitness tracker was supposed to help you feel healthier. So why does it sometimes make you feel worse?

In Fitness Trackers, Helpful Tool or Addiction, health coach Sem Vandenberg explores the complicated relationship between wearable technology and the human body, revealing how sleep scores, step goals, calorie data, recovery metrics, and health dashboards can quietly shift from useful feedback into emotional control. Through personal stories, coaching experiences, practical insights, and accessible science, the book examines what happens when people begin trusting the numbers on a screen more than the signals coming from their own bodies.

From midnight walks to close a ring to mornings ruined by a low sleep score, Vandenberg shows how fitness trackers can motivate healthier habits while also increasing anxiety, compulsive checking, perfectionism, and body distrust. The book explores step goals, sleep tracking, HRV, calorie estimates, recovery scores, streaks, and wearable psychology without demonizing the technology itself.

Balanced, honest, and deeply relatable, this is not an anti-tech book. It is a practical guide to using data without becoming controlled by it. Readers will learn how to recognize unhealthy tracking patterns, understand the emotional impact of wearable metrics, and build a healthier relationship with health technology through a simple body-first, data-second approach.

Fitness Trackers, Helpful Tool or Addiction is for anyone who has ever checked a sleep score before asking themselves how they actually felt — and wondered when helpful information started becoming authority.
