Key Takeaways
- HRV is a data point and a proxy to look at the shifts in our autonomic system that indicates our response to stress
- If there are extreme fluctuations in HRV it means there is an extreme impact on the nervous system that is causing stress
- It’s about context and framework, it’s how much fluctuation there is and how much control an individual has over their nervous system
- There are genetic variabilities and components linked to basic demographics such as sex and height
- The single biggest contributor to overall baseline HRV is cardio-respiratory fitness
- As you increase overall cardio-respiratory fitness you increase the strength of your heart
- The right goal is to build better resiliency, recover faster and be more in control of the nervous system
- Experiencing a stressor that derails us is something that is detrimental to both wellbeing and longevity
- Hanu trains you to be more self-aware of stress and how to better self-regulate
- If you can condition a better response and better habits you can make a difference to your response the next time
- Emotional regulation and self-control are intertwined with HRV and longevity
- The more you do something and condition your body along with self-regulation
- The best guide we have is our subjective experience combined with knowing ourselves and what’s good and works for us
