Podcasts about Heart rate

EP 676 Heart Rate, VO2 Max, and Hunt Readiness with MTNtough What’s up! This week on the Rich Outdoors Podcast, I’m sitting down with Jason and Nick from MTN Tough Fitness to talk about something we’ve been geeking out on for a while—health metrics, performance tracking, and what “hunt readiness” actually means for backcountry hunters. As we’re building the Bridger Watch (yeah, the smartwatch for hunters), we’ve been having deep conversations with the MTN Tough crew about what metrics actually matter when you’re training for elk season. Because here’s the thing: most fitness wearables are built for runners, cyclists, and gym rats—not for hunters humping 60 pounds on their back through deadfall at 9,000 feet. Nick is a MTN Tough coach and physical therapist who programs their daily workouts, and Jason is one of their athletes who’s joining the Bridger team. These guys know what it takes to train for the mountains, and more importantly, they understand the difference between sustained Zone 2 cardio and getting absolutely crushed by a 42-minute Mountain Tough workout that leaves you laying on the floor. We dive into what a “hunt readiness score” could look like, how to measure work capacity beyond just heart rate, why rucking strain is completely different than cardiovascular strain, and how we can use wearables to help hunters stay in that 80-90% efficiency zone all day long. We also talk about the mental side of fitness—how to make better decisions under fatigue, why discipline in the gym translates to discipline in the mountains, and what happens when you’re on day two of a hunt with frozen boots and a broken water filter. This episode is part fitness science, part backcountry hunting strategy, and part startup talk about building products that actually solve problems hunters face. Whether you’re training for September or just trying to figure out how to not get your butt kicked on your next western hunt, there’s a lot of good stuff in here. Let’s get into it. Tricer Tripods – They make gear that’s fast, light, and simple, from amazing tripods to bino mounts, panhead truck mounts, and now even bipods. Tricer makes gear that’s fast, light, and simple. I love their gear, and if you’re looking for a new system for better glassing, check out Tricer. Head over to the website tricer.com. They make great products and it’s just a great company. Awesome dudes. Been using the heck out of the bipod—killed a lot of critters with it. Use the code TRO and you’ll save yourself 10% at checkout. Stone Glacier – I’ve packed out a lot of animals with my Stone Glacier pack this year. The Sky Archer 6400 has been with me to Alaska, British Columbia, Wyoming, Montana, and I love the thing. Whether it’s a 10-day backpack hunt or you’re day hunting from the side-by-side, that’s what I love about Stone Glacier—it’s minimalist, it’s lightweight. You can use it day hunting or for an alpine backpack hunt. Stone Glacier makes an entire suite of hardcore mountain hunting gear. If you’re in the market, head over to stoneglacier.com.

A wearable that monitors your heart rate and keeps you in an 80-90% efficiency zone (based on your current fitness level) could be the difference between being smoked for three days versus being able to hunt hard every single day. It’s not about going slow—it’s about understanding what pace your body can sustain without bonking. Rucking Strain is Completely Different Than Cardiovascular Strain – Carrying 60-70 pounds on your back for 8 hours isn’t primarily a cardio challenge—it’s muscular, skeletal, and neurological strain. Most fitness wearables only measure cardiovascular load based on sustained heart rate, but they can’t quantify what it feels like to have weight on your frame all day. Building a “hunt readiness score” means figuring out how to measure both the cardio AND the strength components of backcountry hunting, which is why Mountain Tough’s blend of strength and conditioning is so effective. Mental Toughness is Trainable Through Exposure to Hard Situations – The more you put yourself in challenging situations—whether that’s finishing brutal workouts when you want to quit, or waking up to frozen boots and pushing through anyway—the more you build the self-awareness and discipline to make good decisions under fatigue. It’s not about never wanting to quit; it’s about recognizing that thought, acknowledging it’s normal, and then choosing to push through. The fitness side removes one major stressor, so when other factors pop up (weather, wind, gear failure), you’re not also dealing with being physically smoked.

In this episode of The Consummate Athlete Podcast, Peter and Molly answer listener questions about :  Late in the day energy crashes  Timing of fueling and eating before workouts the concept of aerobic decoupling and Heart Rate Drift  Creatine Supplements 

In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS discuss a new research article, "Refining maximal heart rate estimation to enhance exercise recommendations for persons with Parkinson's disease." Parkinson's is a multi-system condition and changes to the function of the autonomic nervous system are common. At times this can present as a person with PD having trouble reaching aerobic heart rate zones calculated based on age while they're performing high intensity exercise. Claire explains the challenges they've faced using standard heart rate formulas and color-zoned monitoring apps when many clients appear stuck in a "gray zone," likely due to this autonomic dysfunction and chronotropic incompetence common in Parkinson's. After exploring but struggling to access cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)—the gold standard for determining true maximal heart rate—Claire finds this new study, which uses CPET data from a cycling trial to derive a more accurate regression-based equation for people with Parkinson's: 166 − (1.15 × age) + (0.60 × resting heart rate). She describes how they are now applying this formula in practice by calculating individualized max heart rates, manually updating values in their OnBeat app, and offering a public calculator via their website so people with Parkinson's and clinicians can easily generate appropriate training zones. This shift should make target zones more realistic, motivating, and safer.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - I'm writing in for my brother. He is a 73-year-old male who has been healthy his entire life. No major illnesses. I noticed a few years ago his head would slightly bob along with his hands. So slight that he doesn't notice. I think he could have a vitamin deficiency. Unfortunately, I can't get him to do any of your labs or detox, but I do have him on your DNS, veggie blend, renewal system, fish oil, eye, magnesium, and Vit d. Do you have any ideas what this might be? If I could get him to test, which test would you recommend? My grandmother did shake    Alicja: Hello Dr.Cabral, I hope you're having a great day. My question is about heart rate. I wear smart ring that detects high heart rate during periods of time when I seat a lot and the only activity would be: getting up occasionally from my desk to walk to kitchen or bathroom. I do 10k steps per day, every day and I exercise every other day for 30-50 min alternating between: hot yoga, pilates, jogging and resistance training. Most of my walking and exercising is done in the first half of the day. During walking or exercising my heart rate is pretty steady, not very high, usually below 120 (except for running) but often the highest heart rate of my day I get in the second half of the day when I don't do any physical activity. It doesn't make sense to me. Why would my heart rate jump to 135 when I don't exercise or do any big activity? I'm 42 and I have low blood pressure. (if that matters)   Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - Do you mind telling me if I'm taking all of your supplements below correctly? Honestly, I would love to work with an IHP but affording all the supplements is all I can do right now. I've been doing this since June of 2025. Upon waking - 2 proteolytic enzymes, 30 minutes later 3 of the sinus and immune support (only during cold season) and daily probiotic. Roughly 2 Hours later right before my morning DNS smoothie (am Metavolve, 2 eye vitamins, 2 cell boost, collagen & D3K2 drops in smoothie). With Lunch 2 hair vitamins and 3 inflamma soothe. Dinner (2 pm Metavolve, 2 fish oil) An hour before bed 2 Full Spectrum Magnesium. I started this protocol to help with lowering inflammation, joint stiffness and pain and it has been a game changer. I exercise daily and eat your Med diet recommendation and literally you gave me my life back so I thank you so very much. My health journey is still a work in progress, but I will get there! I just started Metavolve two months ago. I really like it. I haven't been able to give up all my berries and sweet potatoes but I'm going to try again Jan 1! P.S. I love your new book!   Scott: Hello Stephen, happy holidays!! I'm writing in about my mother. She's 69 years old with coronary artery disease. 2 years ago she had 2 separate procedures to remove considerable blockage. Then, this past September, she had it done again. All together 4 stints, 2 in her widow maker. She hasn't drank alcohol in 10 yrs and quit smoking for over 2 years, although her previous lifestyle was lacking in many areas which I'm sure built up to her CAD. There's heart issues within the extended family, but, I know its not just genetics. She has done EXCELLENT zeroing in on her diet after this last round of surgery and she has felt the inflammation in her body pretty much disappear. She still, once in awhile, gets winded, which I can understand her being weary to go too long on the upright bike. She has researched online and food seems really restricted like salt intake, sugar and even really healthy things like Xtra virgin olive oil, which says only 2 tablespoons a day....that seems odd. She's on a certain type blood thinner but her heart doctor gave the okay for omega 3's and was really happy when she read the ingredients on the DNS bottle. I have her on EquiLife supplements since the first surgery; Omega 3's, Vitamin C., Vitamin D3, DNS, B-Complex, Cal-Mag, Balanced Zinc, the new Pea Protein, and collagen from another company (but it's clean) As an IHP level 1 and starting level 2, I'm trying to help her the very best I can. I suggested lime w/ a pinch of sea salt for an electrolyte morning drink but she's too cautious of the salt intake. I'd love for her to try a 21 day detox, she doesn't think she can do all the fasting days except maybe the first 2 days. Even the 14 day detox would be good too, but, would these be too hard on her with her condition, especially when CAD patients are restricted from eating even the healthiest of foods like olive oil? The literature says CAD patients do not have a long time once they have that condition, but, I'm trying to my best to extend her years, she is our family's rock. Thanks for all you do Stephen, you are a mentor sir!!!   Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - it would be incredible to hear YOUR WHY behind formulating Daily Nutritional Support and the Dr. Cabral Detox, and how this came about? From listening to your podcasts these are strong foundations behind your brand and recommendations. Also, what would you list as the "12-supplements in one"? Thanks for all you do.

What if everything you think you know about running easy is actually making you slower and more exhausted?In this episode, I break down why your usual approach to running pace might be sabotaging your progress and how switching to heart rate training can unlock easier, more consistent runs. I explain why the same pace feels easy one day but brutal the next, and share a simple, equipment-free method to find your personal training zones without needing expensive lab tests. You will learn exactly when to rely on your heart rate monitor and—just as importantly—when to ignore it completely to get the most out of your hard workouts.Key TakeawaysRunning the same pace doesn't always mean the same effort. Heart rate shows when your body is working harder because of stress, poor sleep, heat, or fatigue.Most runners think they are running easy when they are not. Using heart rate and the talk test together helps you slow down enough to actually build fitness.Heart rate is a powerful tool for easy and recovery runs, but it breaks down during short, hard efforts. Knowing when to ignore heart rate is just as important as knowing when to use it.Timestamps[00:27] What You'll Learn[01:33] What Heart Rate Training Is + Why It Works[02:59] Why HR Training Works[03:54] Use This To Run Faster[04:49] How to Actually Use It - Step 1: Find Your Easy Heart Rate Range[06:24] Step 2 - Use The Talk Test[07:10] Step 3 - How To Do This[07:37] Step 4 - Ignore Heart Rate On Hard Days[08:38] Gear That You'll Need[10:54] The Mistakes Everyone Makes: Mistake 1[11:15] Mistake 2 - Obsessing Over Hitting The Right Pace[11:57] Mistake 3 - Use HR For Everything[12:07] Mistake 4 – Expecting Instant Results[12:36] Use This To Run and Farther Faster with Little EffortLinks & Learnings

What does a low heart rate really mean in athletes? When is it a normal adaptation to training, and when is it a sign that something is medically wrong? In this interview, Dr. Marianne Miller speaks with Megan Hellner, RD and Katherine Hill, MD, co-founders of AthleatMD, about one of the most misunderstood issues in athlete health. Together, they unpack how low heart rate, underfueling, and performance pressure can intersect in ways that are often minimized or missed entirely in both sports medicine and eating disorder care. Content Caution This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS), medical instability, low heart rate, weight loss, body image pressure, and athletic injury. Listener discretion is encouraged. What Is Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS)? Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport occurs when an athlete's energy intake does not meet the demands of training, daily functioning, and, for young athletes, growth and development. Dr. Hill explains that REDS can occur with or without an eating disorder and that many athletes develop REDS unintentionally due to intense schedules, high training loads, or lack of accurate nutrition guidance. Although REDS is a relatively new diagnostic framework, its medical consequences are not new. Energy deficiency affects nearly every system in the body, including the heart, bones, hormones, digestion, immune function, and mental health. Importantly, many athletes with REDS do not appear thin, which contributes to how frequently the condition is overlooked. Low Heart Rate in Athletes: Fitness or Medical Red Flag? A low resting heart rate is often praised as evidence of elite fitness, yet this episode challenges that assumption. Dr. Hill and Dr. Hellner explain the difference between mild athletic bradycardia and dangerous cardiac suppression related to undernutrition. They discuss why heart rates in the low 40s or 30s should never be automatically dismissed as “normal for athletes,” particularly when fatigue, injury, missed periods, or hormonal suppression are present. The conversation highlights how REDS and malnutrition can compound athletic adaptations, leading to serious medical risk while athletes are reassured that nothing is wrong. Where Eating Disorder Care and Sports Medicine Fall Short Athletes often exist in a gray area where eating disorder treatment programs and sports medicine settings fail to fully meet their needs. Drs. Hellner and Hill describe how eating disorder programs may underestimate the importance of athletic identity, while sports environments frequently minimize eating disorders and REDS altogether. This disconnect can result in rigid activity bans, delayed diagnosis, or false reassurance that prolongs harm. The episode emphasizes the need for individualized, multidisciplinary decision-making that considers medical stability, psychological safety, and the athlete's relationship with sport. Body Image Pressure and the Athletic Aesthetic Myth The conversation also explores how appearance-based expectations shape athlete health. Dr. Hellner introduces the concept of the athletic aesthetic myth, which falsely assumes that performance requires a specific body type. Dr. Marianne and her guests discuss how coaching culture, social media trends, and gendered body ideals increase risk for REDS and disordered eating. They also highlight the growing visibility of elite athletes across a wide range of body sizes, challenging the belief that leanness equals success. How AthleatMD Supports Athletes With REDS and Eating Disorders AthleatMD provides virtual medical and nutrition care for athletes across many states, serving competitive, recreational, and former athletes. Dr. Hellner explains how assessment focuses on weight history, growth patterns, labs, training load, injury history, and relationship with food and sport, without assuming intentional restriction. Treatment centers on nutrition restoration, medical stabilization, and education, with approaches tailored to the athlete's sport, goals, and developmental stage. For many athletes, restoring adequate energy intake improves both health and performance in ways they did not expect. Who This Episode Is For This episode is especially relevant for athletes experiencing fatigue, injury, or declining performance, as well as parents of young athletes, coaches, therapists, dietitians, and medical providers. It is also an important listen for anyone questioning whether “fit” always means healthy in sport. Related Episode Eating Disorders & Athletes: The Pressure to Perform on Apple & Spotify. About Today's Guests Dr. Megan Hellner and Dr. Katherine Hill are the co-founders of AthleatMD (@athleatmd), a virtual, multidisciplinary practice specializing in medical and nutrition care for athletes with eating disorders and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS). Their work focuses on bridging the long-standing gap between sports performance and eating disorder treatment.

This week on the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with dual-sport national team athlete and exercise physiologist Dr. Heather Logan-Sprenger. The two take a deep dive into one of the most underrated and often forgotten about habits for human performance: hydration.Dr. Logan-Sprenger shares how growing up in Northern Ontario, watching her dad water flowers and her cat grow winter fur, quietly planted the seeds for a lifelong fascination with physiology, stress, and adaptation. From competing for Team Canada in both ice hockey and road cycling to suffering from heat stroke mid–PhD on hydration, her experience and education show just how fragile — and adaptable — the human body really is.Dr. Holmes and Dr. Logan-Sprenger identify what mild dehydration does to your metabolism, brain, and overall performance, and how hydration needs shift across the menstrual cycle.

Can science really help us live longer - and feel better while we age? In this episode, longevity expert Kayla Barnes-Lentz joins Jonathan and Dr Federica Amati to explore how daily behaviours, emerging science, and personalised data may shape our health span. Many people believe longevity requires extreme routines or expensive treatments, but new evidence suggests simple habits may have a powerful impact. This conversation asks one central question: how can we age well while still enjoying life? Together, Kayla, Jonathan and Federica explore what longevity science currently understands… and what it still doesn't. Kayla shares her personal journey from chronic fatigue and brain fog to measurable improvements after changing her diet, sleep routine and lifestyle. The discussion covers nutrition, sleep, oral health, fasting, environmental toxins, supplements, wearable tracking, personalised lab testing, and why women may need different guidance based on physiology and life stage. For listeners wanting practical steps, this episode includes guidance on five foundational habits such as consistent sleep timing, reducing late-evening eating, flossing and dental check-ins, supporting your gut and oral microbiome, and increasing plant diversity in meals.  As science continues to uncover how and why we age, what small behaviour could you change today that your future self may thank you for? And if you could meaningfully extend your healthy years, how differently might you live now? Unwrap the truth about your food

We thought deeply about the societal implications of Paw Patrol before this amazing episode! The main science discussion involved a pair of strange, counter-intuitive wrinkles of physiology. The first was the sometimes paradoxical finding of higher hemoglobin A1c in many elite athletes. The second involved a new paper addressing a connection between suppressed thyroid hormones and low energy availability. Both phenomena demonstrate how physiology is a complex system. Also, it's possible that concerning bloodwork means one thing... or the polar opposite. We have fun breaking it all down!And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: Megan's Just Say No To Rhabdo training run, David's first treadmill workout on the comeback trail, a follow-up on bowls and buckets, the winter training plan, findings jobs in running, the pardon of Michelino Sunseri, running form 101, altitude tents, structuring training weeks, prepping for Survivor, fueling winter races, what to do about elevated heart rate, and lots more.This one is full of nuance.

Your doctor or midwife monitors the fetal heart rate of your baby to assess their well-being and how well they are tolerating labor. They primarily use electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), which is the most common obstetric procedure during labor. EFM This allows your doctor or midwife to recognize signs of low oxygen and respond quickly if intervention is needed. While electronic fetal monitoring can identify emergencies, research shows that continuous monitoring does not necessarily improve outcomes and is linked to higher rates of cesarean and assisted births.  Most low-risk pregnancies can be safely monitored intermittently. Hospital policies, provider training, and individual risk factors all influence what type of monitoring is used. By learning about your options and discussing them ahead of time, you and your care provider can create a plan that keeps your baby safe while supporting the birth experience you want.

Today we look at the three dominant metrics in triathlon: Heart Rate, Power, and RPE. Which one is right for you, and does that answer change with different variables? We look at things like time of the day, time of the year, and adjusting based on how you feel. We tackle questions like intensity vs. volume and look at different scenarios depending on if you're racing an Ironman or something shorter. We talk Vo2 max and look at whether or not you should even be thinking about it. And we also get into how a lot of triathletes screw up their races with nutrition. Topics: Wetsuit legal questions Dominant metrics When to use power vs HR vs RPE Does the time of day matter? Different stress from different pools Hot water, cold water, shallow water When are you strongest on the bike? Is HR higher in the morning? Warm ups Lower volume, higher intensity Swim hard, bike aerobic, run hard? Looking at numbers too often How we screw up our races with nutrition Smash test for a 15 hour race?

Hydration Myths & Facts: Why Drinking Ice Water May Not Be Ideal. Nutritionist Leyla Muedin delves into the often-overlooked aspects of hydration, particularly focusing on the potential drawbacks of drinking ice-cold water. She explains the effects of excessively cold water on digestion and overall health, citing insights from experts like Dr. Harry Emrich. Leyla highlights why traditional practices and scientific evidence suggest that cool rather than cold water is more beneficial, especially during warm weather. Additionally, the episode offers practical advice on maintaining hydration through alternative methods, such as consuming water-rich fruits and vegetables, and the potential hazards of certain beverages like hot caffeinated drinks and alcohol during heat waves.

We studied up on some beefs (Strava v. Garmin, Taylor v. Charli, pastrami v. sirloin) before this awesome episode! The main science topic was a new study evaluating low carb and high carb approaches, with and without caffeine. It's another brick in the wall supporting higher carb for adaptation.We also talked about the Strava lawsuit! Last week, we defended Strava like the big fans we are, only for them to file suit against Garmin over decade-old patents a day later. It doesn't seem to make sense from the outside. But as last week shows, what do we know? We talk about the details and speculate on some theories.And this one was full of so many great topics! Other topics: Megan's hungry girl era, uphill treadmill threshold training, our hot (lukewarm) takes on Taylor Swift's new album, Kilian's mind-bending States of Elevation project, the new beta fuel gel with electrolytes, a study evaluating advanced foams in trail shoes, and an AI study on sleep and jet lag recommendations, plus a Q+A on forgetting to eat, carbs in team sports, balancing cycling and running, carbs per hour, training in supershoes, doing adventures while following a training plan, why max heart rate isn't a good metric to track over time (or base HR zones on), calculating hill gradients, and post-exercise ketones.Taylor Swift's song “Wood” says “I don't need to catch a bouquet, to know a hard rock is on the way.” We assume she is talking about the Hardrock 100 mile race and she has a way to get around the lottery.

Is your smartwatch just a fun gadget, or a serious medical device?  In this episode, Jonathan Wolf is joined by Dr. Malcolm Findlay, a leading consultant cardiologist, to explore the powerful health data available on your wrist. They decode the most misunderstood metric, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and reveal how your wearable can provide clinical-grade insights into your heart's health. Dr. Findlay explains the counter-intuitive science behind HRV — why more ‘wobble' in your heartbeat is a sign of good health — and breaks down the two opposing nervous systems that control it. He shares the latest on how these devices can accurately detect serious conditions like atrial fibrillation and why he, as a cardiologist, trusts the ECG function on a consumer smartwatch to make diagnoses. For listeners who track their own data, this episode is a practical guide to what your numbers actually mean. Dr. Findlay explains how to interpret your personal HRV trends, what constitutes a significant change, and when you should use the ECG feature. He also debunks common myths about heart rate zones, revealing the level of exercise intensity that truly benefits your long-term health. The episode concludes with an empowering look at how this technology is shifting control into our own hands. Can a simple alert from your watch really help prevent a catastrophic event like a stroke? Discover which metrics matter most and how to use them to guide your wellness journey.
