We all want to take control of our health. But how can we protect our well-being and prevent long-term health problems from taking their toll? With a small piece of jewelry, you can learn how your body responds to environmental triggers — which is the first step toward building healthy habits for life.
To help you pick up (and stick to!) those healthy habits, Bellabeat developed the LEAF necklace and bracelet — chic wearables that track your fitness and well-being without compromising your look. LEAF jewelry is a far cry from the clunky, angular (and let's face it — masculine) fitness trackers already on the market. With its fluid, leaf-like shape and impressive data-crunching abilities, the LEAF tracker strikes a balance between aesthetics and intelligence.
Here's how the Bellabeat LEAF tracker works:
Attach it to your bracelet, necklace, clothing, or bra, and do your thing! As you move through your day, your LEAF wearable will record and analyze important health information, like your daily activity, sleep quality, stress and relaxation levels, and menstrual cycle.

The Bellabeat LEAF syncs to a companion app on your iOS or Android device. It stores your personal data for two weeks so you can monitor four crucial health-related categories.
1. Mindfulness
The LEAF app includes a long list of two to 10-minute meditations centered around different topics: energy, deep sleep, confidence, inner peace, menstrual discomfort, and others. While you meditate, the LEAF tracker analyzes your heart rate, breathing rate, and movement to determined how restless or relaxed you are.
2. Daily Activity
LEAF gives you instant access to your important vitals — including steps taken, distance moved, calories burned, and minutes active — to keep you up to speed with your fitness schedule. The app also has an activity alarm to remind you when it's time to move.
3. Sleep
LEAF jewelry tracks your sleep patterns. It records the time you go to bed and wake up, as well as the patterns of your body's micro-movements while you sleep. The LEAF app visualizes this data to tell you the best sleep and wake times for your body.
4. Menstrual Cycle
The LEAF app includes an ovulation calendar, fertility chart, and reminder to take your birth control pills. With help keeping track of your monthly cycles, you'll better understand how your period affects your sleep, mood, energy, and stress levels.
Sasha DiGiulian is professional rock climber sponsored by Bellabeat. She had this to say about the LEAF tracker:
"Our values align on the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle. As we move forward with tech, it is neat to consider how we can use data collection of patterns like sleep for high performance optimization. With the LEAF, fashion meets function."
