How to Measure your Vagus Nerve using HRV Monitors.

Показать описание

In this 10-minute video, I will discuss how you can monitor your Heart rate Variability (HRV) via various wearable techs. I am currently trialling an Apple Watch 7 and a Biostrap. Increasing your vagal tone/HRV will dramatically improve your well-being and longevity.

When I am working with someone on a 1-2-1 basis I provide the insights, structures and plan to raise your HRV and Vagal Tone. My baseline HRV is 70, which is equivalent to a very fit 33-year-old, or an ultra-athlete at my age (47). I am neither.

Life will pass you by unless you pay attention. If you don't measure something it is challenging to understand your improvements. Equally, many coaches will not want to have your HRV measured, it might raise questions with respect to their impact.

When I work on raising your vagal tone and HRV, I am focused on your mind, body, and nervous system. It is the treatment of the whole of the being that is important.

Whoop also offer a good system to track your HRV although they only take nighttime readings.

I am neither sponsored by nor connected to any of these brands.

The capacity to pay attention comes through awareness. Awareness of self and where you are in your life right now. The changes you need are available and your decisions and consistency will determine your mindset and wellbeing. Step up and take responsibility.

Living in a prolonged state of Fight-Flight will lead to a dysregulated nervous system. Often known as low vagal tone, this can lead to feeling anxious, stressed, fearful, vulnerable, worrying and in a constant state of uncertainty and questioning yourself and being overly concerned by the opinions of others. It does not have to be like this. You have an incredible chemical factory within your body that can help balance your nervous system and restore harmony to your mind and body.

You are not alone, and millions of people worldwide feel like you. I was a dynamic CEO and founder of multiple investment firms. During a critically important meeting in 2014, I had a panic attack. Although my nervous system was shutting down, I pushed through the session and kept it quiet. Psychological Safety could not have been further from my mind. I turned to psychology, philosophy, neuroscience and Eastern practices. The last six years have been in research and academia.

I have a huge amount of free content on YouTube that I invite you to try out. Including multiple guided practices.
