Just like the Oura Ring, Whoop has partnered up with the Natural Cycles app to improve its women's health tracking — and Whoop users can get a year's membership to the app totally free

Whoop, the premium fitness wearable company, has announced a partnership with Natural Cycles, a women's health tracking app. Following in the footsteps of Oura Ring, which previously partnered with the same app, Whoop users can now access a full year's membership to Natural Cycles completely free.

What This Means for Health-Conscious Families

While improved health tracking sounds positive on the surface, health-conscious parents should consider the broader picture. Wearable devices like Whoop are designed to be worn continuously on the body—often 24/7—which means constant proximity to Bluetooth and other wireless signals. Unlike devices you can set down, wearables maintain direct skin contact throughout the day and night, potentially increasing cumulative EMF exposure.

For families already working to reduce electromagnetic field exposure in their homes—whether through EMF shielding paint or choosing low-EMF air purifiers—adding a continuously-transmitting device worn directly on the body may run counter to those efforts. The irony is that while these devices promise to optimize health metrics, they may introduce exposure concerns that weren't previously considered.

Consider the Trade-offs

Parents evaluating wearables for themselves or family members should weigh the benefits of health data against potential exposure concerns. Just as many families now seek out low-EMF hair dryers and other reduced-radiation alternatives for daily-use products, it's worth asking whether continuous wearable use aligns with your family's wellness priorities.

If fertility tracking or women's health monitoring is important to you, there are alternative methods that don't require 24/7 body-worn wireless devices. Traditional basal thermometers, fertility awareness methods, and periodic check-ins with healthcare providers can provide similar insights without the constant wireless signal exposure that comes with smart wearables.
