Improve Your Heart Rate Variability

HRV correlates with cognitive function, disease outcomes, mental health, autoimmunity, cardiovascular health, and even survival rates in cancer patients.

This makes HRV much more than just another fitness metric - it's a window into your body's entire regulatory system. The brain regions responsible for autonomic nervous system regulation (prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, and amygdala) are the same regions involved in emotional processing, decision-making, and higher cognitive functions.

Even more critically, this is a modifiable health risk. We have a multitude of practices that improve HRV. This Workbook will take you systematically through the steps you can take to optimize your HRV. It is part of the Simple Science newsletter. You will NOT be automatically added to a mailing list.
