Angela is Dr Jay Wiles a clinical health psychologist who works with individuals looking at the interconnection between mind and body

They discuss HRV and how the variation in time between heartbeats is the best singular insight into the nervous system.

Modulation of the nervous system is about taking reconditioning and taking control as HRV regulation is about self-awareness and self-regulation.

Dr Jay explains how to optimise and modulate your HRV to be in control of your nervous system in this fascinating and informative episode.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
If you choose to use a wearable then you need to understand how to interpret the data you are collecting.
Know what you are measuring and how to measure it
Your ability to modulate HRV demonstrates control of the nervous system and is more important than a higher or lower HRV.
HRV is the best singular window to view the nervous system function.
HRV provides the opportunity to see whether the sympathetic nervous system is in fight or flight and if the parasympathetic response is being used.
You need to be able to modulate the nervous system
You have to use your physiology to be aware of the stress responses in the body
Your breathing rate can help to modulate your HRV
Breathing very slow and low helps to stimulate and stretch the vagus nerve.
There are many advantages to being able to optimise and modulate your HRV well.
Modulation of HRV is affected by certain types of exercise
HIT training is effective and you can track your HRV to determine how effective the exercise has been.
The sympathetic nervous system can help when you face stressful situations
The key is being able to regulate your HRV at will then you will be in control of your performance.
There are many variables that can affect the baseline of your HRV so tracking and reviewing a two week period provides a good insight into what your baseline is.
If you are tracking be consistent and understand what affects you.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘With REM sleep your heart rate increases, because this is the time when you are dreaming’

‘Having a higher heart rate variability is associated with better performance’
