Episode 306: Dive into Heart Rate Variability with ithlete's Simon Wegerif
Manage episode 463385518 series 3261287
Join me, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, as I sit down with Simon Wegerif, the visionary founder of iThlete and a pioneer in heart rate variability (HRV) technology. In this episode, we revisit Simon’s journey from creating the very first HRV app for iOS to his latest work at Lifelight, where they’re breaking new ground in measuring blood pressure and heart rate with cutting-edge technology.
We’ll dive into the practical applications of HRV for training, hear Simon’s inspiring story about a health scare that changed his outlook, and discuss game-changers like sleep hygiene, deep breathing, cold water immersion, and mental health for improving HRV. If you’re as fascinated by HRV, performance optimization, and health tech as I am, you won’t want to miss this episode!
