From “Labs Look Fine” to Real Answers: Using AI, Wearables, and Context to Solve Women’s Health Mysteries with Dr. Diana Kusunoki

Biohacking with Brittany

Dr. Diana Kusunoki, PhD - UX researcher turned women’s-health advocate - created Fulcra Dynamics after her own health unraveled with post-COVID fatigue, hypothyroidism, and sleep apnea.

In this episode, she shows how women can take ownership of their data, connect the dots faster, and walk into appointments prepared - with the context most wearables and patient portals miss.

We cover women-centric tracking (perimenopause, gut reactions, energy), why “10,000 steps” means little without context, and how AI plus human care can shorten the path from “I don’t feel well” to “this is working.”

WE TALK ABOUT:

13:00 - From labs “look fine” to answers: Tracking fatigue, hypothyroid, and sleep apnea

17:40 - The “mystery diarrhea” button: Finding a supplement trigger with timelines

19:10 - Using AI safely to interpret labs and prepare for your doctor

31:30 - How Fulcra’s Context app works: Annotations, reflections, and stochastic polling

35:30 - Why 10,000 steps ≠ health and what to track instead

38:10 - Will AI replace coaches and doctors - or supercharge them?

41:25 - Your life as a database: ending intake-form Groundhog Day

44:20 - Data sharing, HIPAA headaches, and why the patient must own their data
