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.

>> 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 still here and working on other projects too. There's always something going on!
Much love!
Dr. Mike

And all of those things are important and amazing... ...but almost nobody is talking about what these drugs do to your nervous system....
I had a bunch of questions so I compiled them into the top FAQ here. Let's crush the top 7. 1) “What the hell happens if I do this for a year?” You stop BS-ing yourself. After 12 months, you won’t say things like: “I’m still figuring it out” “I just need more data” “I’m almost ready to decide” You’ll know—in your bones—which actions actually move the needle. Not hypothetically.Not in theory.In your life. Small hinges. Big doors.Same boring principle. Ruthlessly applied.Week after week until...
