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

We dig into how red and near-infrared light fits into an evolutionary sunlight context, why those wavelengths penetrate tissue differently, and how they can influence mitochondria, recovery, and performance. Ari also breaks down the confusing part most people miss: device choice and dosing aren’t one-size-fits-all,...
Back in SPI today — wind is up, so it's time for another "Send It Sundays." Little tired, but stoked after giving my talk at the Sports Pharmacy Summit down in Fort Lauderdale. Huge shoutout to Sean Casey and the whole crew for putting on an epic event — y'all crushed it. Had a blast nerding out on HRV and Met Flex, and it was great connecting with so many of you there. Here's what went down this week Newsletters: Cold Water Immersion and Your GainZ: Cold plunges might feel hardcore, but...
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.
