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 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

A massive part of this survival mechanism is homeostasis, your body's insane, around-the-clock commitment to holding its internal environment constant no matter what you...
Somewhere between the bottom of my triple espresso and the third set of 30-second Wingates, my lungs started doing their best Bill Lumbergh impression. "I'm gonna need you to go ahead and breathe less terribly on Saturday." That's when it hit me that I've been watching something deeply strange happen in fitness coaching for the last two decades…. The programming knowledge, the research literacy, the content quality, the nutritional sophistication — genuinely excellent compared to what existed...
Another sunny, semi-windy day here in South Padre, where your favorite nerd was back out playing in the wind again. The best part? Even after getting my lifting and rowing done, I still had plenty of energy left to go kiteboarding. Wahoo. A big piece of that is just doing the basics with violent consistency, as you know.
