HRV
Go anywhere these days, and the trend is to yammer on about recovery metrics.
Is it a helpful conversation? What are some things to look out for?
I was recently on Barbell Shrugged to chat about HRV, sleep, and using the Oura ring.
Check out the podcast below.
>> Tracking HRV and Sleep with the Oura Ring <<
As stated in the podcast, I'm stoked to work with Dr. Andy Galpin, Dan Garner, Anders, Doug, and the fantastic crew at Rapid Health!
I am helping with the visible stressor evaluations and Oura analysis. I've been working there part-time since November, and it is epic.
I am still here and working on other projects too. There's always something going on!
Much love!
Dr. Mike

Greetings from the Houston airport, Gate C-something, where I am wedged into a chair engineered by a person who has never sat down, surrounded by the ambient perfume of terminal Tex-Mex, and about to fly to Fort Lauderdale to present on HRV and Metabolic Flexibility at the Sports Pharmacy Conference tomorrow morning. The slides are done. The brain needs to cooperate. Which brings me to a story. A glorious, chaotic, extremely on-brand story about what happens when a PhD with no regard for...
Hola from the wind starved and dare I say - moderate temperature Texas coastline where the wind smells like salt, sunscreen, and the slowly evaporating dreams of tourists who underestimated the Gulf. South Padre Island. Again. Yes. Before you say anything — I know. Third email from this sandbar. But hear me out: the kiteboarding here is criminal in the best possible way, and somewhere between a 23-foot air and a bone-rattling kite-slam that rearranged several of my vertebrae in exciting new...
Picture this, you are sitting in a homemade freezer filled with 41F water, cortisol spiking, teeth clattering like a broken jackhammer, and you're proud of yourself. Ok, so that was me before hitting the warm realms of South Padre. Truth be told, I have been subjecting myself to cold water immersion of various degrees when I am home for over 6 years now. Why you ask? Hang on and I will answer that, but first, here is what is actually happening inside your muscles that you just trained if you...
