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

Your favorite nerd here coming at you from Weatherford TX where I am hanging out with my coach Adam Glass and his wife Ashely.

Here’s what he wrote: “My buddy Mike T. Nelson has this massive library of bite-sized videos on physiology, performance, and metabolism stuff. Each one is like 5-10 minutes. All ridiculously...

Hola my fellow metabolic misfit — Yesterday I sent that email about surviving road-trip nutrition chaos with protein bars instead of gas-station despair… …and immediately someone lobbed this spicy meatball into my inbox: “What are your thoughts on the EPG in it?” Ah yes.
