Well...yeah These people say Take a cold shower But, what is "cold" In L.A. it might be 50 F In Winnipeg it might be 30 F Time to start being a little more specific 5 minutes at 30 F takes a bit more fortitude And BTW; why don't you fuckers start using degrees C like the civilized world?
Love your video! I have EDS and it bleeds into my quality of sleep. In 2019 I worked with an orthopedic spine surgeon 2 hours a time, 3 days a week for over a year. She has taught me a a similar neuromuscular technique that he goes over but I would argue slightly more in depth. I love that he mentioned fully exhaling! It makes a difference! It’s not often that we as individuals fully exhale our entire breath.
Awesome! While I've incorporated a couple of these components, I'm excited to try the others. I must admit, the cold shower is my toughest mountain to conquer!
yeah I know! The best advice I can give is just start by doing 5 seconds! take a hot shower and turn it cold for a short amount of time. your tolerance will build over time!
This is so helpful! Thank you. I will say everyone should also do what’s best for their health for example the not eating a few hours before bed doesn’t work for me. I have hypoglycemia and often times before bed blood sugar plummets to 70 or below and this disrupts sleep. So a light snack with protein and healthy carb helps provide much better sleep quality.
I definitely agree with the light therapy! It has worked like a charm. I am also very supportive of deep breathing exercises. I think cold therapy is great for men, and women also asa long as it is not below 50 degrees, since as females the cold can shock our system into sympathetic (fight or flight) drive. We are NOT the same as men, and our bodies react very differently. I would highly suggest dry sauna or red light therapy also. These have made a huge difference in bringing me back from Long Covid hell a few years ago.
You mentioned numerous changes. Were you able to isolate what change translated to the biggest HRV increase? Sounds like you may have introduced all these changes at the same time. Thanks.
Katie Type A Thats good to know, thanks. I’ve experimented with cold showers recently but didn’t stick with for more than a couple of days as I didn’t see immediate effects on my HRV. I did however feel great afterwards. Maybe I’ll try again but this time give it at least a week or two.
Hi Katie, thank you for taking the time and effort to create this insightful videos. I can personally validate that breath work increases my HRV, however, I do not think I can do cold showers been doing lukewarm showers.
@Katie Type A @Kylegotcamera: wim hof method advice to do cold shower first thing in the morning, why you do before bed? its not supposed to be warm shower to calm the body systems?
Thanks for all the tips and will rest watch video tonight so I can start! I have a problem with waking up to the sun. I wake up several hours before the sun so unless we can change sunrise to 4am I'm hopeless there 😂
if you're not waking up to an alarm for shift work you might want to check your histamine levels. Histamine is highest during these times. For some people they won't get classic allergy symptoms, but will wake up routinely at 3-4am after a few hours of deep sleep.
My HRV average is about 140 but I implement none of these techniques. I’ll give them a try and see how things go! Hope to report back in 2 weeks, it’s in my diary. :)
A cold shower in L.A. is not the same as a cold shower in Winnipeg
big facts!
Well...yeah
These people say
Take a cold shower
But, what is "cold"
In L.A. it might be 50 F
In Winnipeg it might be 30 F
Time to start being a little more specific
5 minutes at 30 F takes a bit more fortitude
And BTW; why don't you fuckers start using degrees C like the civilized world?
@@ABAdams lol, as long as you feel "cool" when you're going to bed you'll be good ;)
@@wellnessdaddy How long before bed though? Doesn't sound too great going to bed with wet hair
you crushed this! so pumped for your results!
Thanks for all your help Kyle!

Thanks for sharing! does she have any online resources I could look into? sounds interesting.

Great video Katie!

Good question! at the end I tried to summarize the ones that had the biggest impact. I think if there was one thing it’s the cold showers
Katie Type A Thats good to know, thanks. I’ve experimented with cold showers recently but didn’t stick with for more than a couple of days as I didn’t see immediate effects on my HRV. I did however feel great afterwards. Maybe I’ll try again but this time give it at least a week or two.
The prehab is intriguing - reminds me of feldenkrais a bit?
Never heard of feldenkrais, but I’ll look into it!

Thanks for the great video!! Any reason you didn’t include your Apollo Neuro?

Cold before bed seems weird
You want to get warm so you cool down not the reverse

Jesus! Lucky you. That’s incredible. Maybe it genetics but if you have any unusual routines let me know!
Can you update us please? Really would love to kniw what happened?
How did u check ur HRV? What do u use?
@@katie_moore Katie, what product is the best and reliable way to track HRV
When you stopped eating 3 hours before bed, did you notice a change in HRV right away or did it take a week or so
Hugs ALS is beyond words. ❤
So why the cold showers before bed? Wouldn't that increase cortisol in your body, making you more awake instead of more tired?
brings core body temp down, keeps you asleep and helps get deeper sleep
@@wellnessdaddy cold showers wake you up. must be done in the morning. hot showers in the evening though.
you're absolutely right. must be done in the morning instead.
Excellent
Score tripled but do you feel like your health got tremendously better along with the score?
Very cool!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
anyone know what she uses to track her hrv? I'm looking for a good hrv monitor.
how long before bed do you have cold showers and how long are they?
How did you make your hypnotic track?
do you still prehab?
do u use Emwave2 from Heartmath? cuz I DO !
Do you know if the course is still up to date?
