Improving Your HRV Score

This podcast episode discusses the topic of improving HRV scores. He explains what HRV (heart rate variability) is and why it's crucial for understanding the body's response to stress. He recommends a supplement called Chill, which he claims can positively impact HRV scores. He also provides five tips for improving HRV scores, with the first tip being to prioritize getting to bed earlier.

1. Improve HRV Score: Prioritize Sleep 

HRV is typically higher at night,^1^ and sleep disorders can disrupt this rhythm.^2^ Ensuring healthy sleep patterns is crucial for improving HRV.

2. Enhance HRV through Music

Music, especially with embedded BBT, can help improve HRV by reducing sympathetic responses and enhancing parasympathetic responses.^1^

3. Sauna & Breathwork for HRV 

Sauna bathing and breathwork can induce a dominant role of parasympathetic activity and decrease sympathetic activity of cardiac autonomic nervous system.^1^, ^3^, ^4^
