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

And when the screen stays blank longer than my Oura deep sleep score after a red-eye…I walk into the gym. The iron tells the truth....always. The dumbbells don’t care about your feelings.The Concept2 rower doesn’t care if your HRV looks like a falling stock graph.The trap bar...
Hola from windy South Padre — where I’m alternating between getting yanked across the water by a kite and hammering out writing sessions thanks to one of my secret weapons: Qualia Mind. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’m not a “throw random brain pills at the wall and pray” kind of bro.Most nootropics are garbage, pixie-dusted, or overdosed with mythical unicorn farts and under dosed with actual science. But Qualia Mind?It’s the one formula I keep coming back to —...
In today’s Flex Diet Podcast episode, I sit down with my good buddy Dr. Tommy Wood to dig into his upcoming book The Stimulated Mind — a ridiculously practical guide to building a better brain. We dive into the fun stuff: how tech is reshaping fitness, why lactate is basically rocket fuel for your neurons, how cardio and resistance training boost cognition, which sports and drills actually improve neuroplasticity, and yes… even a little discussion about psychedelics and brain health. If you...
