I improve my HRV measured in the morning from 30 to 90. I did box breathing 5 minutes prior to 2-minute cold shower 30 seconds of directed cold to the stenocleidomastoid on each side. Sat on my grounding mat in front of my mito red light 10 minutes. Checked my Garmin Health score and HRV measured 90 best ever.
And how do you measure resilience @Andy Galpin?
Thank you for this great series!
What a complicated answer to such a simple question.
The goal is to maintain Samadhi (emotional homeostasis) and live in it.
Life itself will throw highs and lows ie. Good days and bad days. Some days your HRV will be high. Others low.
The goal is to improve your non responsiveness to both the highs and lows - don't react badly to the lows. Don't get drunk on the highs.
Cultivate the ability to come back to a regular HRV.
It's the little things in life that will enable this ie. Appreciating nature, sunsets and sunrises, good company, cultivating good conversation skills.
Same with fitness and recovery. Some days you have good training. Others you have bad training. Don't react to either, stay consistent but don't stay within your comfort zone - push yourself to get more challenged and get better.
Well said. I've never heard of this Samadhi (emotional homeostasis) before. Somedays I feel extremely calm and react to everything that day with a clear mind but I react fast and smart usually it isn't like this though.
@@Zydeco.13 Def worth looking into Samadhi. It's from an 8000 year culture that has many answers. 🥂
@@thecountach3948 Actually, America is a country with less than 500 years of history.
In cultures with 8000 years of history, the data has not only been identified but it is coded and incorporated into cultural practices.
Eg. Meditation, Breath Practices and HRV measurements are simply a measure of Samadhi. And dopamine management is a tool to get there.
The Tibetan Monks used cold and heat for emotional management for thousands of years. And martial arts/yoga are 8000 years old.
The new 500 year society is only getting to know these things and complicated conversations like this one are confusing what should be simple practices.
Anyway kudos to Dr Huberman for his efforts at educating 🙏🏽👐🏾❣️
These cultural practices
That's not what samadhi is though, really. It's a very advanced non-dual state that usually takes years and years of deep meditation to achieve, at least according to the lineage of kriya yoga that I follow..
I thought he gave a pretty uncomplicated answer. Plus, this is what he does for a living... your just some guy or woman.
“Push your resilience”.. Got it!
Haha, I couldn’t follow him until he said this too. Haha, thanks!
@@RegineBrady Thought it was just me lol.
Awesome
Someone can help me interprete what Galvin was saying about pushing the reselience even if we want to mantain some control over HRV? In practice what would you think that would be like?
This was very helpful thank you! My sleep quality has been poor/ I had not been journaling as per normal. Diet is good; but I did some ideas from other things mentioned. Thank you.
Annnnnnnnnd the question really never gets answered...nice.
He gave answers
Cold, heat, improve sleep
Adaptogens, training load adjustment
aaannnnnnnd you need to learn how to listen better
Are bowling allies even a thing anymore? 😅 knew I liked this guy
I was literally just thinking about getting a garmin watch because of the HRV feature it has and then i see this video ❤
How accurate is that?
@@Dontbustthecrusti read it has excellent accuracy. Alternatively to get a accurate hrv id have to go through a specialist where i am, so its good to at least have it on the go
@@Priya_92what’s the benefit of tracking your HRV versus just training to improve it without tracking?
Its good way to track stress levels, it indicates current and future health problems. Theres specific levels that are considered good and bad
its worth it but i have an apple watch which i would recommend more as long as you have an iphone...
Is this why we feel so much older in our 30’s because we stopped partying like we did in our 20’s?!!? Now we’re not pushing our bodies as hard?
Uh nooo.
@@Dontbustthecrust 🤣
In New Zealand we understand this phenomenon. We call it being "Piss fit." Haha
Got to keep putting in the work!
My HRV is shit right now. 35mm literally like a 70 year old. Really gotta change this. Thank you for sharing
My god im pretty fit but i also have a shit hrv
mine is under 20 I win@@federicobonora780
@@federicobonora780 there is no compare between different people, compare only with yourself
Mine is shit too. like it drops inthe 20's. I was 29 last night. and I am 44 and "healthy". this watch is the greatest and scariest thing ever.
@@dliedke yes. Those exposed to mental health and chronic pain disorders MAY benefit from increasing HRV.
done
Love these clips - I recently started the 20 minute 3 times a week sauna protocol and noticed today that my sleep quality was completely down despite not having issues with the amount of time I was asleep. My sleep resting heart rate was above average most of the night and my HRV was very low, almost as low as it goes if I drink alcohol. I am not 100% sure its the sauna yet as I could be getting sick and I dont have enough data to know but I wanted to know if anyone has had these issues before from sauna and it impacting HRV, resting heart rate. I did my session around 6pm after work. Will continue to monitor how I go
Maybe cold shower after the session
Try starting slower- it's recommended to do 10 to 12 minutes when you first start. And rinsing with a cold shower can be helpful.
Are you replenishing with electrolytes?
Got a whoop. Had it a week. HRV started off at 12! Dropped to 7 for two days and the whoop coach said if it stayed low I should go see a Dr! Today it’s at 15. I hope it gets better. 😢Wish I was a lab rat and people could stick me through a load of tests. 😊 My boyfriend hates my Whoop, he thinks it is controlling and bossy. I think it’s going to really help me.
Whoops are great. I have over 1000 nights with it. It really needs like 60 days to get enough data to make adjustments to the algorithm and provide way more accurate data. Stick with it. You’ll see some good info.
Also complete the journal daily. That helps a lot with its data collection.
Woman are different. Low thyroid means lower HRV. Also low progesterone perimenopause hormone changes, etc. a lot of this podcast is just geared towards young men.
@@MGyoutube307 this is an interesting comment I am a fit middle aged male with a sub 30 HRV, I'd never considered that it might be related to my hypothyroidism...this is something for me to consider
These comments show me you all are willing to pay for shit you don’t bother to even understand lol
I've low HRV too, it's stress I think. Hopefully I can help and get it higher.
Hmm i missed 3 months of gym workouts due car crash injuries, now im back and my HRV is every day " unbalanced " high and will continue to be so until it settles with my new ( old ) levels as a base. Nothing wrong with me i train i have incredible power and i feel very good after sleep , but garmin watch still shows end of range high unbalanced HRV and i dont care.
❤❤❤
My HRV is always under 50 and I've no health conditions, except anxiety. Can I ask what should I do? I will listen now and see if there is anything to help.
Do gratitude meditations
Hast du Tipps, wie ich die Tracking Funktion vom Whoop am Sinnvollsten nutze? Mich stresst das ausfüllen auch, aber ich weiß nicht welche dieser vielen Fragen am Wichtigsten sind. Und bei mir ist Koffein das, was den größten positiven Impact auf meine Recovery macht und ich trinke jeden Abend einen Energydrink zum Schlafen.
Days? How about years? (a lot of trama, divorce from Borderline, suicide of child, near bankruptsy, ...)
This snip really piqued my interest. I walk, lift heavy weights and sleep well, but my HRV is only 10 to 15 always as determined by my Fitbit which I believe is overnight. I asked my cardiologist but he said he does not put much stock in it, but I am not satisfied with that. This snip was more specific to transient results. Have you done a greater discussion HRV and increasing it from very low levels.
I also have this issue, although not as extreme as yours. My HRV hovers around 30 even though my resting HR is around 50, my Vo2 max is in the 90% of my age group, and I get about 8hrs of sleep nightly. Apparently some people are just genetically predisposed to having low HRV.
Hello @PrBruce1959 - I read your post with mild selfish relief. It mirrors my situation. I am fit, walk a lot in nature, lift weights, meditate and eat extremely healthily. I also attempt to stimulate my vagus nerve. We differ on the “sleep well” part as I get either 7.25 hours or 4.5 because I wake at 2:30 and can’t get back to sleep whatever I do. My Internist/cardiologist (I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia once or twice a year) said he really doesn’t think HRV is significant to heart or overall health and that I am doing very well. However, my deep sleep is awful and REM not much better. My HRV is 12 - 16 most nights (OURA) with the occasional 22. It seems to go this high during poor and short sleeps. I hope you find a way to improve yours!
@@lighthealerastrid1465 Thank you for sharing. Good sleep is a recent phenomena. From a low point around 2004 struggling to sleep more than a couple of a hours, which is more like a collapse for a few hours, until about 2:30, to what it is today. Lots of things have helped a little and added to a lot. Being determined to claw it back, added each little change until it was a lot. Doubt (thoughts), Torment (circular nagging thoughts)anticipation (dreading the night, the waking and the sunrise) and resignation (depression) were all issues. Overheating, panic attacks, restless legs, bladder issues (sugar) and adrenalin surges were involved. I was a mess as you can imagine. I had been going to bed later and later to push for one half distant sleep. I reversed that and changed my shift from 7am to 8am. Vitamin B1 helped cyclical thinking. A memory foam mattress with a topper helped. Getting and adjustable bed helped. Lots of pillow options helps me. Less caffeine helped. Breathing helped. Visualisation helped (but only a short while for some reason you know the red wall that fills your view, changes to orange and yellow, zooms out to be a flower in a massive green field, floating over it with a pure blue sky fading and darkening to magenta and landing softly on a dreamy beach with a stairwell leading down to a landing, counting 10 steps to a landing, opening a door to a lower level counting down slower and slower …) any way going very low carb helped, magnesium threonate helped with cooling, wrestlessness and cramps, no fluids after 4pm helped, night supplements kava & tryptophan & Ashwagganda & amitriptyline helped, climate control aircon helped, and taking vitamin d3 in the morning helped, listening to low audio podcast or video helps (so long as it is not too interesting). Stop working 3 hours before bed! Dimmable lights. Night screen on device. Reading and scrolling can help preparing for rest. I really feel for sleep suffers. The very thing that is the key to health is so easily disrupted. 🫤
I use Fitbit and my HRV ranges between 40-lower 60s. I CrossFit and do some bodybuilding program 5-6 days a week as well as ocasional climbing. The days I scored high on my sleep usually also renders higher HRV.
@@jinluwang5671 this morning I was excited as I got HRV out of personal range notice … it was high at 20. 😐 but good to know a user getting better results on Fitbit. Whatever you are doing ….
What are people measuring hrv with I hate having electronics on my body.
Electronics 👍🏻
I always got bothered when wearing the Apple Watch, for some reason it made my wrist sore, even though it felt comfortable, so I think it had something to do with its electronic emissions. I use a garmin now and like it much better and can wear it continually without the same annoyance. I’ve also tried the whoop band and can say it also performs well as a minimalist hrv tracking device.
Vagal Nerve Toning is a good way to boost HRV levels.
What’s vagal nerve toning?
Who do you think you are, I am!
This was unclear.
My take away was stress your body more🤷♂️
Stress your body appropriately to the goal, but never let stress be low enough that the body loses resilience.
What is HRV?
heart rate variability - the variance of time between heartbeats when you are asleep. this is the first indicator in how recovered one is . higher = better but everyone has different HRVs so mainly comparing it to your baseline is the best indicator on how your body adapts to stress and recovered it is
@@ethanokwuosa4164 thanks
That was a lot of words to say nothing
Legit every podcast he has lol otherwise it’s exaggerating research or misrepresenting them
He didnt answer the question. Just said more tests blah blah. Temporary bad scores are fine blah blah.
Thanks for saving me time watching it :)
Honestly said nothing. Take a cold plunge but it doesn't really work. Thanks
First, I’m a novice.. what is HRV?
Heart rate variability ^^
@@HannahIm What does it mean ?
the variance in the time between heart beats - high HRV is better than low HRV@@Abdullah.Al-Haj
time between each heartbeat when you’re resting. higher shows more recovered lower means your body has not adapted . numbers vary person to person so comparing it to your baseline is the best indicator on how well ur body is rested and adapted to stress
If you've ever studied statistics, basically it is the standard deviation of your heart beats (heart beats measured ECG of some sort) or put another way, variance of your heart beat. The higher the variance, the higher the variability in your heartbeat ==^HRV. Higher HRV is associated with parasympathetic activity and lower HRV with sympathetic (mind you, sympathetic is a technical term here, nothing remotely close to sympathy)
Please make a video on how to increase HGH hormone naturally.....
Sauna's 3x1hr a week have been shown to increase HGH.
Watch his videos on getting enough sleep and fasting, getting enough sleep is key to your hgh
On one of his podcasts, they talk about going to bed at the same time is crucial for HGH….
36 hour fasting does this. I track mine
I must have missed something - I kept looking for " how to improve HRV " - but never found it - and you got your degree in cardiology from ???????
Put wheels on it
The biggest question: are you a male or female? I found that my hrv is tightly related to my cycle.
Candlepins!
Sorry I can’t understand things being said …
No time stamps, lazy c
Terrible analogy 😢
This is not telling me anything about what HRV is about
Your body responds to stimuli. HRV shows how much your heart rate changes in response to various stimuli so high HRV means your heart rate responds highly to stimuli: good, bad, mental, environmental, emotional, etc.... Now to gain high HRV you must train yourself to NOT respond to stimuli. Hmmm..... I smell a pseudo scientific phenomenon. Maybe HRV is best understood as overall fitness which can be measured in part by how quickly your heart recovers from exercise.
It means your body is able to adapt and then go back to baseline… if you are chronically overstimulated that isn’t good and would result in a poor hrv
Not really actionable insights…
I present to you, exhibit A
A man who speaks so much… But says so little.
This guy really wasn’t great. I didn’t appreciate the lack of accurate scientific evidence he could have provided. So much sounded like pseudoscience when HRV is actually one of the most researched topics for decades.
Typical Huberman
i dont understand why you call yourself a lab.
Because AH actually runs a research lab at Stanford.
Stick around a few more minutes 😂
It's not that hard to understand? Try to use your brain?
