In this episode, I’m excited to welcome Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman back for the third time! Today, we continue our conversation on the overlooked importance of brain development but go on to explore heart rate variability (and how it can easily be misinterpreted), Polyvagal Theory, and her fascinating, physics-based thoughts on how our heart rate variability connects us to the universe!
In this podcast, Dr. Mel and I discuss:
An easy way to visualize brain development: the brainstem is the root that grows up into the trunk of our brain and branches off into the right and left hemispheres
The underlying driver of illness for many people with chronic symptoms and why gut or immune health might continue to suffer if this isn’t addressed
A clear, easy-to-understand explanation of heart rate variability and why this often-misinterpreted marker is crucial for vital health
The 10-second at-home test Dr. Mel recommends to better understand your heart rate variability findings AND the functioning of your vagus nerve!
Her physics-backed belief that our heart rate variability connects us to the “breath” or wave of the universe…and how this connection (or lack of connection!) relates to the vagus nerve, inflammation, nervous system development, and long-term health
2 major predictors of mortality, i.e., how long you will live and the interesting pattern often found in people with autism
The extreme importance of working with the body and tracking test results versus cleverly attempting to biohack or manipulate the body with supplements or drugs
