A few weeks ago I spoke with Mikki Williden on heart rate, heart rate variability, stress and lifestyle.
We discussed HRV, what it means, what affects it, how it is measured and the best conditions for doing so. We also talked about the impact diet can have on HRV and sex related differences, whether or not these are clinically meaningful. We discussed also HRV Biofeedback and the impact of simple actions that we can take to improve our stress response and HRV. Finally we talk about wearables and the limitations (and benefits?) of tracking sleep.
