You've probably heard a lot about Heart Rate Variability (HRV) lately. It's become a buzzword in the health and fitness community. Why all the buzz? Because research indicates that by tracking HRV you can optimize your workout routine, get better sleep, and even improve your mental health. And for the first time, the tools for tracking HRV are not limited to scientists, labs, or elite athletes. Thanks to Oura Rings, Whoop Bands, and Apple, Fitbit, Garmin and a host of other devices, HRV tracking is now available to everyone.

But what is HRV? And how can you harness the power of your device and the "NorthStar" Metric of HRV to significantly improve your health and performance? Get ready to learn -- and feel and perform better than ever before!

In Up Your HRV! you'll discover how your body is really a system with inputs and outputs you must balance to perform and feel optimally. You'll learn what foods and supplements improve HRV, and what kinds of exercise has been shown to most improve it. Far beyond that, you'll learn how other "interventions" -- like light therapy, touch and massage, neuro stimulation devices, temperature therapy - and even your thinking and breathing - can affect your HRV too. Most important, you'll learn how to use your HRV numbers to "balance" your body between phases of stimulus and recovery so you can consolidate your improvements -- and keep getting better.

Up Your HRV! is unlike any health or fitness book you've ever read and will demystify the numbers on your fitness device and unlock its power, to give you not simply another “program,” but teach you to be your own coach and performance scientist – for life. You’ve already got the tools, so now get the book. So let’s go!
