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

But the other part comes from the four pillars I teach in the Physiologic Flexibility Certification, which opens again this coming Monday: Temperature pH Expanded fuels...
Quick one before I head out to the water — wind is up and the kite is calling my name. Last Thursday I told you about the nootropic I accidentally took too many servings of at once. Ooops. Unlabeled sample bottle, assumed one serving, was emphatically not one serving, had one of the cleanest deep work sessions of my adult life and reported back to Tomer at Switch like a completely unrepentant human guinea pig. Since then, over 75% of the initial batch is already pre-ordered. Tomorrow the...
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy Ari Whitten to talk all about red light therapy (photobiomodulation) and why it’s become so popular lately. 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,...
