Friends, no, you do not likely need to go harder or whatever in order to see results if you're too tired to workout. Maybe you just need to take a rest day or do  something more chill. Ever thought about that? Give this episode a listen to learn how to determine what to do when you're too tired to workout.

This episode is about a health metric you may not have heard of before: heart rate variability, or HRV. This refers to the small changes in the length of time between each of your heart beats.Scientists have known about and studied HRV for a long time. In recent years, though, new monitors have come to market that can measure HRV accurately whenever you want.Five months ago, I got interested in HRV as a more scientific approach to finding the lifestyle changes that work best for me as an individual. It's at the convergence of some important trends in health right now, such as health tech, precision health and the holistic approach in systems biology, which recognizes how interactions among different parts of the body are key to health. But HRV is just one of many numbers worth paying attention to. For this episode of Making Sense of Science, I spoke with psychologist Dr. Leah Lagos; Dr. Jessilyn Dunn, assistant professor in biomedical engineering at Duke; and Jason Moore, the CEO of Spren and an app called Elite HRV. We talked about what HRV is, research on its benefits, how to measure it, whether it can be used to make improvements in health, and what researchers still need to learn about HRV.*Talk to your doctor before trying anything discussed in this episode related to HRV and lifestyle changes to raise it.Show notesSpren - https://www.spren.com/Elite HRV - https://elitehrv.com/Jason Moore Twitter - https://twitter.com/jasonmooreme?lang=enDr. Jessilyn Dunn on Twitter - https://twitter.com/drjessilyn?lang=enDr. Dunn's study on HRV, flu and common cold - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2784555Dr. Leah Lagos - https://drleahlagos.com/Dr. Lagos on Star Talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC2Q10SonV8Research on HRV and intermittent fasting - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33859841/Research on HRV and Mediterranean diet - https://medicalxpress.com/news/2010-06-twin-mediterranean-style-diet-heart-function.html#:~:text=Using%20data%20from%20the%20Emory,eating%20a%20Western%2Dtype%20dietDevices for HRV biofeedback - https://elitehrv.com/heart-variability-monitors-and-elite-hrv-compatible-monitorsBenefits of HRV biofeedback - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32385728/HRV and cognitive performance - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2021.691988/fullHRV and emotional regulation - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36030986/Fortune article on HRV - https://fortune.com/well/2022/12/26/heart-rate-variability-improving-your-bodys-response-to-stress/Leaps.org is a not-for-profit initiative that publishes award-winning journalism, popularizes scientific progress on social media, and hosts events about bioethics and the future of humanity.

When Jason Moore, an entrepreneur with a background in data, software, and fitness decided to apply his expertise to the body, he quickly discovers a powerful, but ironic truth: The most valuable piece of equipment in the world is his own. He has developed a technology platform called Spren which uses device agnostic and camera sensing technology to deliver science-backed insights about the body. He states, "You have this high dollar, incredibly expensive equipment where if it fails, it can literally kill people or waste millions or billions of dollars. Imagine how much effort gets put into preventive and predictive care of that equipment! Eventually, I came to realize the most valuable piece of equipment in the whole world is my own body. So why am I not spending the same level of preventive and predictive care on myself?" Spren provides guidance and feedback on things like nutrition, inflammation, stress, exercise and recovery. They have been able to collect over 4 billion data points from 700,000 users, and is currently working with an audience of 30 million. The platform can also be private labeled and they are already working with other partners in the HALO space. Jason's ongoing goal is to continue to try to help people understand their body and aid them in making the right changes to improve their health and fitness. In this episode, Jason and Pete discuss: 1. How Jason's background in oil & gas maintenance and prevention intersects with his current work in biometrics and health. 2. How Spren makes it easier for businesses to deliver science-backed insights about the body and has even helped some Olympic athletes win a gold medal! 3. How the platform provides personalized guidance to individuals without requiring them to use a specific device.

In this episode, Dr. Navaz Habib shares the importance of the Vagus Nerve in connection with autoimmunity and inflammation, and how we can improve our vagal tone to improve our health.Dr. Habib is the author of Activate Your Vagus Nerve and host of "The Health Upgrade Podcast."  He is the founder of Health Upgraded, an online Functional Medicine and health optimization clinic.  He teaches how we can optimize productivity, focus and energy levels, and ultimately our health by upgrading the Vagus Nerve.At the time he graduated from chiropractic school, Dr. Habib was very unhealthy.  He was overweight, had high blood sugar and blood pressure, and felt like an imposter teaching others about wellness.  He and his (now) wife, wanted something different for their children."Being healthy is different than simply being without diagnosable conditions."What is the Vagus Nerve?The Vagus Nerve is the 10th cranial nerve.  (We have 12.)It is the only cranial nerve that leaves the head and it connects to every organ system in the body.It is "The Wandering Nerve"It travels down either side of the neck in the carotid sheath and reconnects as one in the thoracic region, goes through the diaphragm, and on to connect with all of the other organ systems.It sends information from the organs to the brain.  This is how it directly relates to inflammation.  When inflammation is sensed in the body, the Vagus nerve signals the brain.The Vagus Nerve IS the Gut-Brain axis!The Vagus Nerve can hit the brakes on inflammation, which is why vagal tone is so important.  If you don't have good vagal tone, the gas stays stuck on and the inflammation continues unchecked.How do you know if you have good Vagal Tone?If you have a resting heart rate between 50-70, you are likely in the parasympathetic state and it would indicate good vagal tone.A resting heart rate over 70, indicates that you are likely in a sympathetic state - fright or flight - stress state...gas pedal stuck on.Wearable trackers are useful in assessing and observing both heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV).HRV is the time (milliseconds) between heart beats.  Ideally, that time is varied, which shows as a higher HRV and indicates resilience.Tracking with a device such as Oura ring, Whoop strap, or Elite HRV can allow you to observe trends and work on improving health by strengthening vagal tone.Take Action for Free!Chant, hum, gag, gargle!Dr. Habib recommends gargling twice a day, when you brush your teeth.Aggressive gargling!  Gargle until tears come out of your eyes.  That is how you know you have activated your brain stem.Practice and work your way up... you will get there!The one thing you can start today...BREATHEDeep, diaphragmatic, belly breathing.Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.Breathe so that your belly is moving, and not your chest.Three diaphragmatic breaths will get you into the parasympathetic state...which is essential for healing and optimized health.Do this several times a day!

If you're like me, you may have a case of email apnea, where you stop taking restful breaths when you open a work email. Or maybe you're in the habit of shining blue light into your eyes long after sunset through your phone. Many of us are doing all kinds of things throughout the day that put us in a constant state of fight or flight arousal, with long-term impacts on health, productivity and happiness.My guest for today's episode is Sara Mednick, author of The Power of the Downstate, a book about the art and science of rest and relaxation – why it's so important, the best ways to go about getting more of it, and the time of day when our bodies are biologically suited to get the most benefits from it. As a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of California, Irvine, Mednick has a great scientific background on this topic. Read her bio here.

EPISODIO Nº27, VARIABILIDAD DE LA FRECUENCIA CARDÍACA. Con Beatriz Anegas y Rafael Bucciero. Aunque nos pueda resultar increíble y sobre todo imperceptible, el tiempo que pasa entre un latido y otro, no siempre es el mismo. Podemos tener de media 60 pulsaciones por minuto en reposo, pero entre cada una de estas pulsaciones hay un espacio de tiempo variable, milésimas de segundos; esto es lo que llamamos variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca. ¿Por qué nos puede interesar conocer la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca? Pues su aplicación al entrenamiento es muy interesante ya que nos aporta información del nivel de estrés o cansancio que tenemos cada día. A continuación os explicamos de qué manera interpretarla La variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca (VFC) está regulada por el sistema nervioso autónomo, en concreto por el nervio vago, se trata de la modulación del sistema nervioso al aparato cardiovascular. La mayor parte del tiempo no somos conscientes del incremento o reducción del esfuerzo que hace nuestro corazón, la VFC es una forma de ver la capacidad de adaptación del cuerpo. Tener valores altos es una buena señal, pues cuanta más diferencia hay entre los espacios de cada latido, mayor es la capacidad de adaptación de nuestro cuerpo y más sano se encuentra, por el contrario, cuando el corazón late al mismo ritmo, quiere decir que pierde la capacidad de adaptación. ¿Cómo podemos utilizar la VFC para nuestros entrenamientos diarios? La VFC nos da información del nivel de estrés o cansancio que tenemos cada día, se interpreta que mayor variabilidad de FC significa un mayor y mejor estado de descanso, ésta sería la condición óptima para hacer un entrenamiento intenso, sin embargo, cuando tenemos una variabilidad de frecuencia cardíaca escasa o nula, eso quiere decir que nos encontramos en un alto nivel de estrés o cansancio, por lo tanto ese día lo mejor es optar por un descanso o un entrenamiento más suave o regenerativo. Conocer el estado de nuestro cuerpo es primordial para encarar un entrenamiento y poder entender por qué hemos tenido unas sensaciones u otras o por qué nos ha salido un buen entrenamiento o no. Es tan sencillo como medirse previamente la VFC. ¿De qué manera? Se puede medir mediante un electrocardiograma, pero si buscamos algo más práctico, ahora hay relojes GPS que con una banda de frecuencia cardíaca nos pueden dar la misma información y también existen aplicaciones móviles que miden con precisión la VFC. Las aplicaciones que recomendamos se llaman; Ithlete y Elite HRV. En resumen, la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca nos aporta información sobre nuestro estado de recuperación y de adaptación a los entrenamientos ¡No esperéis más a utilizar la VFC, para controlar nuestro cuerpo lo primero es conocerlo y saber cómo se encuentra!

Five years ago, Tyron Groenewald was overweight, stressed out, and sick. After his cardiologist diagnosed him with left ventricular hypertrophy — a condition where the ventricles have to work harder to pump blood, resulting in an enlarged heart muscle — Groenewald decided to make some major lifestyle changes to prioritize his health. His hard work has paid off. Just half a decade later, 35-year-old Groenewald is down 114 pounds, he runs every day, and his left ventricle now measures within a normal range. Along with implementing a healthier diet and more physical activity, Groenewald says measuring his heart rate variability daily — he's currently on a 1100+ day streak of using his Elite HRV monitor — has been a key part of his health journey. ## **In This Episode** Tyron tells us all about his weight loss journey as well as the tools he used to achieve and maintain it. Hear how Tyron uses the data he gets everyday from using the Elite HRV app to understand how his body is responding to various inputs - be it food, exercise, cold therapy, etc. ## **Show Notes** 01:30 - Introduction to Tyron 05:00 - Tyron's 115 lb weight loss journey 15:30 - How the Elite HRV app has helped Tyron become and stay healthy 17:30 - How Tyron's diet has evolved throughout his journey 24:30 - Tyron's strategy of using time-restricted feeding to optimize his HRV 30:00 - Tyron's motivation for maintaining his weight loss 34:30 - How Tyron interprets his HRV data 41:30 - Cold exposure and how Tyron has used it to train his autonomic nervous system 47:00 - How Tyron's used running and weight lifting to help achieve and maintain weight loss 51:30 - Using Elite HRV to monitor super-compensation 57:00 - The importance of informing yourself in order to make progress

Covered questions At 00:34 Jeremy Ross: Hi Labcoatfitness team! I’m new here, so please forgive me if you have covered this topic in previous podcasts or articles, etc. Without further ado; What are your thoughts on measuring HRV every morning and whether this information is an accurate indicator of ANS readiness for training? Context. I use the a Polar H10 Heart rate monitor and the Elite HRV app (no affiliation) I like the data, but sometimes question the accuracy. For example, there have been times I trained so hard the next morning I was sore; however, my HRV score showed I was rested and ready to train hard today. Other times I had low HRV score, albeit I was well-rested and ready to train. Finally, I noticed I could “hack” my HRV score by using certain breathing patterns to improve my test on the 2nd try. Thus, what is your opinion on HRV testing? Thank you for your response! JR At 22:40 Simon Hernandez: What are your thoughts on resensitization mesocycles ? Useful between extended hypertrophy blocks? Are deload weeks enough? At 31:30 Ji Eun Lee Hey guys, I’ve just joined and am starting your routine immediately. I do rock climbing and have a gymnastics class (mainly tumbling) once a week. I think I’m strong enough to handle the routine and those activities for a little while, but I’m sure I have to cut some volume eventually. Could you give me some advice or guidelines on how I should reduce the volume on the routine? If this question is too quick to answer, maybe Josh could go on and give some general guidelines on how to cut volume in general? At 36:28 Anonymous: I have quite some extra ROM in my elbow extension bilateraly. Should I be cautious in regards to planche work? And should I work to only reach neutral elbow extension on the end of my e.g. push ups or go all the way to hyperextension? Thanks guys! At 42:40 Florian Nagel: Hey guys. I would like to hear Josh talking about pre-requisites for tumbling. Do you think that there are standards (and which?) someone should fulfill, before attempting tumbling (things like hip/leg strength standards, knee prehab), to handle the forces safely? At 51:18 Haz M: Good to hear you guys are feeling a bit better! Could you go into how you keep yourselves relatively active while injured (if at all). Also any tips and specifics you did/do to proactively help with your rehab, and what you’ll do/advise others from now on to mitigate that from happening again? At 58:40 Dan Hughes: Hi hope your both doing well! Love going through these programs it’s amazing. This is a question of modification. I live in a rural town where not a lot of clubs activities etc happen A mma club has opened and it’s something I always wanted to really try even before I got into gst but there was no options too. To boil it down could you take the meat and potatoes of the mass and strength cycles and run the side by side the mma club training ? Or would that be counter productive ? Thanks guys Dan At 01:07:02 Chuck Pinkert: When it comes a mass/hypertrophy cycle for calisthenics, how important are lower body exercises like the squat and deadlift? I’ve been taught before that lower body exercises will accelerate the upper body gains, is there truth to that?

As the country heads into yet another phase of this pandemic, I am becoming even more concerned about everyone’s health and especially their immune system. These two factors are always of great importance in our lives, and this is only being magnified during these uncertain times. Because I care about you all so much, today I’m drawing upon my extensive research and background in public health to review those aspects of your life which most impact health and immunity, and offer some steps you can take to improve them.   Beginning with a look at some research regarding COVID-19 and pre-existing health conditions, we’ll also examine those areas in your life that impact your health and immunity, and look at such notions as changing routines, COVID fatigue, Hormesis, and the work of Wim Hof. I will also share information about a couple of products that I have found beneficial, and, of course, I will share some strategies you can employ to help boost your level of health and your immune system. Remember, I’m not a doctor, and I’m not here to judge or shame anyone, so please accept the information shared here today simply as facts about how all our bodies work, that you still have to do the work at your end, and that there is no judgment here – only a desire to help you become the healthiest you can be during these difficult times and beyond.   Remember, too, that my new community is now up and running on ‘Slack’!

We have an admission that's difficult to make: Rob has an addiction to gadgets. Specifically, he has an addiction to gadgets that help him track and optimize his HRV, or Heart Rate Variability. This has become the go-to metric for many people who want to track or hack their health, and for good reason — it's one of the greatest indicators of future health that we have. But we're trying to live a Blue Zone life, we're trying to live past the age of 100 so that we can watch our families grow up, and there's more to that than just being physically healthy. If you go visit the Blue Zones around the world — Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), Nicoya (Costa Rica), Icaria (Greece) — you don't see a bunch of people with tight butts and rock-hard abs constantly looking at their smart watch to see how the numbers have changed. The lifestyle and pace of things is just so different in these cultures, so today, Kim is going to try to bring a little bit of that Blue Zone Vibe into the Work Hard Play Hard podcast (and Murgatroyd household) — without entirely squashing this healthy habit. In This Conversation We Cover:  [05:10] What is HRV? [06:50] What HRV can tell us about our nervous systems [08:20] The “fake health” lifestyle [12:05] One of the things that Rob is doing to measure and improve his HRV [12:55] “Soft targets” of the Blue Zone lifestyle improve your health, but HRV lets you quantify the improvement [14:30] The Blue Zone “Power 9” [31:35] The best ways to track your HRV The Blue Zones Power 9 We talk about these in the episode, and we challenge you to rate yourself in each of these areas.

What is Heart Rate Variability, what it means and how to use it to improve performance and reduce stress. Applying this concept to your life will require a heart rate monitor and the use of an app. I recommend the Elite HRV app, available free here: https://elitehrv.com/ The heart rate monitor I used and recommend is the Polar H10 (https://amzn.to/2x5EtQW). This monitors are also compatible with the app, and a little less expensive: Polar H7 (https://amzn.to/2ywUn7n) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/slapthebasil/support

Episode 22: Elite HRV Today we invited Vivek Menon, CCO of Elite HRV onto our show to talk in depth about how tracking Heart Rate Variability can help you become more in tune with your recovery capability. Vivek graduated Magna Cum Laude from Dartmouth College, with a BA in Biology (Pre-Med) and a BA in economics. Vivek's goals are to drive habit change amongst consumers, providers and businesses, with the adoption of powerful tools that enable health, fitness and performance transformations – like HRV.

In this episode, Jason and I will dive in deeper into things like what gadgets you should be using to measure your heart rate variability, how to evaluate these gadgets, and why some of the more popular ones may not be the best source for getting the most accurate HRV data. We will also talk about something that has surfaced recently and is called resonant breathing frequency and why I am obsessed with this ever since I heard about it. And finally, Jason explains the most beneficial aspects and features of the Elite HRV app and how accessible they are to you.​Who is Jason Moore?Jason Moore is the Director and Instructor of National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) accredited coursework on Heart Rate Variability (HRV).

I love to walk barefoot on the grass, but a lot of my neighbors use pesticides for their lawns. I was wondering if I should be concerned about these pesticides getting into my skin or other negative effects on my health.

Oftentimes, one of the apps will say that I should take a recovery day, while the other app will say that everything is fine and I can workout as normal. Either way, they're not at all synced with their results. Is there something I should be doing, like new baselines with both of the apps? Any insight would be appreciated. In my response, I recommend: The Best Sirtuin Activators Jay asks: I have a bit of a misunderstanding I was hoping you could clear up for me. In your , you discussed sirtuin-activating compounds. In the same podcast, you also mentioned the Plant Paradox diet and mentioned that sometimes you will put clients on this depending on what they have going on. It was my understanding that sirtuin-activating compounds actually come from natural plant mechanisms that you might be avoiding in the Plant Paradox diet. I was wondering what you might think about this conflict of ideas or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding something?

While mainstream medicine is effective at treating disease and disorder, too often it’s focused on caring for the immediate, day-to-day symptoms rather than developing a larger picture of the patient’s health and what’s truly affecting them. Today’s guest looks past mere symptoms and works with her patients holistically to determine what’s really causing them pain and discomfort. Jenn Malecha is the (W)holistic Health Boss, a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner based out of the San Diego area. Halfway between being a health coach and a naturopathic doctor, she helps her clients find missing pieces of their “health puzzles” and insists on treating the person as a whole, rather than just attending to their lab results. To do this she uses comprehensive test results and the patient’s health history to reveal the underlying causes of what ails them. In this eye-opening discussion, Jenn traces her own health journey over the years and explains how you can investigate your own health symptoms. In addition, Kelly is opening up applications for her Ascend Mastermind, where she’ll help you bust through your fears, prioritize your health and get after your business goals. If you’re interested and have any questions, drop Kelly a line on social media or sign up for the Ascend mailing list at http://www.kellytravis.net/ascendlist. The Finer Details of This Episode: - Jenn breaks down what she does in her line of work and what distinguishes her from naturopathic doctors. - What personal experiences prompted Jenn to reevaluate her health situation and pursue a diagnostic nutrition practitioner career? - Why we need to avoid running our lives on “autopilot” regardless of how we feel in the moment. - The ways Jenn has noticed her clients have become more empowered in the aftermath of taking ahold of their health. - How Jenn helped one client figure out what was holding them back from taking charge of their health and holding back their quality of life. - Why “grit and determination” are not the keys to achieving your health goals, and how dogged persistence can actually backfire. - Techniques for keeping yourself from falling into a “death spiral” and taking up bad habits you previously shed. - The moment in Jenn’s journey that her self-worth truly began to improve. - A few tools Jenn uses to stay alert to how her body is changing and adapting. - Everyday, seemingly innocuous symptoms that are actually big red flags about your health. - Jenn explains how the testing she uses in her line of work is more comprehensive than the average doctor-prescribed blood test. Quotes: “We shouldn’t be settling for anything less than what we deserve when it comes to our health and well-being.” “Our body will do anything that we ask it to do but that doesn’t mean that we should either.” “Whatever’s going on with you right now is an accumulation of what has happened over your lifetime.” “Test, don’t guess, otherwise you’re just taking a shot in the dark.” “If you don’t feel right in your own body, that is enough alone to explore what is going on with you.” Guest Links: (W)holistic Health Boss - https://wholistichealthboss.com/ (W)holistic Health Boss on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wholistichealthboss/ (W)holistic Health Boss on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/FunctionalDiagnosticNutrition/ Show Links: Oura Ring - https://ouraring.com/ Elite HRV - https://elitehrv.com/ Kelly’s homepage - http://www.kellytravis.net Ascend Mastermind - http://www.kellytravis.net/ascend

Today we have a fascinating show in the company of Kieran Blay Kieran is a co Director of a company called Adeki (www.adeki.me) He specialises in the application of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in performance settings. Kieran is a qualified cycling and fitness coach, with certificates in HRV training from Heart Math, First Beat and Elite HRV and has trained in the use of HEG technology for addressing attention disorders. Prior to Adeki, Kieran enjoyed a long career in Formula One and motorsport while also competing up to a national level as a racing cyclist. He still cycles for the top domestic racing team, TAAP Cervelo   How does stress affect your performance?   Do you know your own personal stress responses?   How is your performance being held back by the stressors in your life?   From poor sleep habits, diet and a poor training regime. How your game may be affected by stress for three to four hours prior to performance and surprisingly for three to four hours after a performance is over.   With Kieran we get the chance to look at how heart rate variability can now be measured. As he says in the show unless you can measure something you cannot improve it. We discuss his own experiences in cycling and he shares some great ideas on how to improve your performance.   How breathing is such a potent force in the battle to be in the right state to perform. What is the best breathing protocol for you as an individual? How you can use visualisation as a powerful tool before and after competition.   How coaching teams with a ‘cookie cutter’ approach can be very limited. How and why it is so important to look at where each individual actually is to put together an effective training regime.   A really interesting episode of the Brain Booster that will really get you thinking about your approach to excellence.   To find out more about Kieran Blay go to www.adeki.me   Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?

Have you ever heard of the exercise and movement pattern called animal flow? Learn about it from personal training coach and educator Richard Scrivener as he talks about not only animal flow but also how you can optimise your fitness. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: What is copeira? What is fitness, and is it purely a physical thing? How can you cycle your training and build in recovery? How can you tune in to your body and monitor where your body is at? What does it mean to train intelligently? What are some of the common mistakes that people make when it comes to working out and how can we counter them? What is animal flow? Key Takeaways: Capoeira is a blend of martial arts, dance, and gymnastics. It has been described as a conversation with movement, meaning that somebody asks you a question with a movement and then you respond with your movement and it goes back and forth.” When you play copeira, there is not one position or one movement that your body will not be asked to go into, so you learn all the base movements and then you play with an opponent. Whatever it is you’re trying to train to do as a movement or an exercise, your body first has to be able to access the shape required for it. Whatever our fitness challenges may be, it starts with the need and the ability to be able to control our body and have ownership over our vessel so that we can get it to move in the way we want to. Research shows that if you push your body to fatigue in a workout session, the next session is negatively affected such that you’re not going to get the results that you would if you had just backed off a little bit in the previous workout. The best way to monitor where your body is at is how you feel in terms of your energy and motivation to want to go to the gym. Animal flow is about reconnecting to your body but through the ground. As the name suggests, it is about using animal-based movements or primal movements. Action Steps: If you’re interested in health and fitness, you’ve got to get a coach -- somebody that can help you navigate your way through the type of fitness that you want to start doing and achieve your goals. Stand back and look at the context of your life, and understand that your body is under an overall stress load. Appraise your stress load and make sure that you’ve got the right amount of stimulus and volume load through the intensity of your workout and the amount of work that you’re doing and the ability to back off. Train intelligently. Listen to what your body is telling you when you’re working out. Don’t push through injuries or sore joints. Learn from how your body first responds when you walk into the gym and how energized and how ready-to-go you feel. Have a good solid warm-up before you work out. Give animal flow a go. Richard said: “It’s commendable that people want to try new challenges or, if they haven’t been active for a while, get back into the gym. But if you push yourself too hard and you’re not moving correctly... for the most part, that can end up being a negative experience...” “Fitness is about having a toolbox and your ability to go into a situation where there’s a physical challenge or a physical demand, open your toolbox and be able to access what you need.” Thanks for listening!

HRV - With the chronic stress and multitude of health conditions in our modern world, it can be extremely beneficial to understand how Heart Rate Variability can optimize our wellness and bring the autonomic nervous system into better balance. JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the change in time between successive heart beats, and these small variations occur in response to internal and external events. These fluctuations are directly linked to our autonomic nervous system which helps to control our bodies unconscious processes. By tracking these variations, we can better understand our nervous systems, cardiovascular systems, and respiratory systems, and how our bodies are able to respond to many of life’s stressors that have a massive impact on our wellness. By tracking these unique variations over time, we can better understand the signals we receive from our body. In just 30-60 days using HRV, this can lead an increase in our ability to recognize and better manage life’s stressors. If we want to use this HRV data to truly improve our physical and emotional intelligence, we get to ask ourselves an important question: How can a prime biomarker like HRV practically improve how we manage our emotions, stress, burnout, and decrease our risk for many of today's common ailments? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and much more with Jason Moore, CEO of Elite HRV. During this interview, Jason discusses the importance of monitoring our HRV, and his non-evasive tracking tool that will help us gain insight into this important biomarker and how we can use it to fuel our health journey. 10% Discount: Foundations of Heart Rate Variability Course Save 10% and get the essential information you need to understand the science, mechanisms, and real-world applications of HRV in this comprehensive yet easy to follow Foundations of Heart Rate Variability course. Click Here To Enroll Listen To Episode 126 As Jason Uncovers: Open Enrollment: HRV - How HRV relates to optimal wellness His transition from the oil industry to the health technology space Why he feels HRV is such an important piece of data to track How we can better understand if we are moving in the direction towards better health How to avoid long periods of troubleshooting and assist in developing our intuition with wearable technology The ancestral origins of the "Greek Physician's Pulse Watch" How we can better maintain our energy, digestion, mental clarity, and stress response Why our health plans need to be individualized How monitoring HRV helps us gain insight into the functionality of our autonomic nervous system Why some people may be more inclined to build aerobic fitness Using HRV for increasing our emotional intelligence Why we receive the most accurate measurement of HRV shortly after waking up How we can use HRV to receive indications of possible health issues The physical and mental impact on children that live in stressful home environments How tech can provide us with the data and proof we may need to adjust our behavior Reasons we should use tech instead of relying solely on our intuition How this technology can show warning signs of underlying stress Micronutrients and supplements that influence HRV How our micronutrient intake affects our HRV Learning to better regulate our levels of stress His future goals and plans for Elite HRV How stimulation from media is affecting our health Top 3 Takeaways From Jason Moore We can sometimes spend years trying to develop our wellness intuition. We can speed up this process if we learn the proper ways to track and analyze our biological data through different forms of wellness tech. Extreme exercise might make us "better" at certain activities, but this may be at the expense of other parts of our wellness.  Technology can help us know when to slow down so we don't jeopardize important areas of our health. HRV can give us incredible insight into other areas of our wellness and how our body functions.  We don't need massive amounts of tracking with HRV, 5 minutes a day for a couple weeks can give us great insight into how we can adjust our lifestyle to improve our wellness. Power Quotes From Jason   "There is nothing more priceless than your own body and mind." - Jason Moore "HRV is like our individual fingerprint for stress tolerance, adaptability, and resiliency." - Jason Moore "We can get pretty good at most things if we have the right kind of individualized plan."- Jason Moore "Tracking HRV can amplify our self-awareness." - Jason Moore "No matter where we are on the scale of intuition, we can use technology to hone our senses." - Jason Moore "The body is quite resilient if we give it the tools that it needs to manage stress." - Jason Moore "HRV has been shown to correlate with our biological age." - Jason Moore "Inundating people with more data than they need is a source of stress in and of itself." - Jason Moore "HRV is the most accurate non-evasive measure of your autonomic nervous system." - Jason Moore The Elite HRV Podcast Description: Uncommon methods for maximizing health and performance with an emphasis on real-world implementation of Heart Rate Variability and other biomarkers.

The monotone of an EKG machine detecting flatline. It doesn’t get any worse than that. For realtor Douglas Hilbert, the list of low points doesn’t end there. Doug filed bankruptcy at the age of 28, had his home foreclosed on, had two vehicles repossessed, lost multiple businesses, lost 130 “investment” properties and ended up in drug rehabilitation numerous times. Each day was a rollercoaster ride of caffeine and nicotine highs followed by alcohol induced lows. Back then, depression and anxiety were the norm. Now aged 37, Doug feels better than at any time in his life. So what did Doug do? Doug describes exactly what he did in his new book Letters to My Son: Choosing Yourself First, and I am honoured to get more than one mention. It starts with food. Doug had good results eating a low-carb paleo diet but has found a high-fat, low-carb, moderate protein ketogenic diet to be even better. If there’s one lesson to be learned, it’s just eat real food. Prioritising sleep. Our modern environments are seldom conducive to quality sleep, and Doug has been able to improve his sleep by hacking his environment. Avoiding light at night, especially from the screens of electronic devices, has helped tremendously. A dark and cool bedroom has also enabled Doug to get the sleep he so desperately needed. Expressing gratitude and guided meditation. It’s so easy to get caught up in the trivial and the negative. Doug has found that by focusing on the positive things, people, events or anything that are actually present in his real life taps into the positive energy in himself and gets his brain to attach to something with a lasting effect. How do you tap into the positivity? You write down a list of all the things you’re grateful for. Sometimes it's brutally difficult to come up with anything, and things such as air make the list. It’s not about getting the perfect list, it is about the practice. Doug practices Vipassana, which is "insight" meditation. He has practiced with Buddhist monks, nuns and lay persons at temples and other centers, as well as on extended retreats. From day one Doug was taught to focus on the breath and just observe the thoughts, feelings, emotions and sensations that arise. Six years later he’s doing the same thing. There’s no goal; he just observes what goes on, and every once in awhile, he picks up something insightful into the nature of the mind and existence. Eliminating the guesswork and getting himself tested. Like me, when Doug started to feel so much better, he developed a burning desire to know what was going on inside his body. After all, biochemistry drives behaviour. Doug tested saliva, urine and stool and corrected the problems he found using nutritional supplements. He then went on to become a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner and now runs a health coaching business of his own.
