Can your smartphone really rival a $100,000 DEXA scan? What if the same device you use to scroll Instagram could also reveal your body fat percentage, fat distribution, and even your HRV?

I sit down with Jason Moore, founder and CEO of Spren, a company turning your phone into a precision biometric tool. We talk about how Spren compares to gold-standard lab equipment, why body composition tells you more than scale weight ever could, and why tracking trends is often more important than chasing perfect numbers. This conversation will show you how technology can bring lab-grade insights straight to your pocket.

Today, you’ll learn all about:

0:00 – Intro
2:36 – Why body composition matters
6:56 – How a phone measures fat
10:55 – Accuracy versus precision explained
14:38 – Lean mass and muscle changes
20:15 – Why fat distribution is key
29:56 – Apple versus pear body shapes
33:20 – How often should you measure
40:15 – Using your phone for HRV
45:34 – Predicting VO₂ max with data
48:32 – Turning numbers into outcomes
