Is the amount of heart rate variability we have important?
The simple answer is yes, but IHM Director of Research Dr. Rollin McCraty will explain why it’s such a valuable commodity and how the amount of our HRV is a key indicator of health and resiliency. He will discuss how it is measured and share some simple tests you can conduct on your own.
What You’ll Learn:
- What is HRV and how it is measured?
- New discoveries on the physiological sources of HRV.
- HRV frequency bands and what they mean.
- Common misunderstandings about HRV.
- How your HRV reflects aging, health and resilience.
- What “HRV coherence” is and why it’s important.
