Your body has been speaking a language this whole time. It's called HRV.
You just heard the conversation on The Dr. Hyman Show. Take the two-minute quiz and start to understand what your own body has been telling you.
"You've been coaching me on my HRV... And for those of you listening who don't know what HRV is, it means heart rate variability... it's a reflection of your nervous system state, and you need to pay attention to it so you can actually improve your overall well-being, health and longevity."
The morning number that runs your day
You wake up feeling okay. Then you check your morning score, and it's in the red. The whole day suddenly feels heavier. That score has been running your mornings.
Your HRV is not a verdict on your character
It's the heart of what I came on the show to share. A morning below your baseline is your body requesting a little more nourishment today. Think of your HRV as a compass, pointing you toward what feels resonant in your body. When you learn to listen, it becomes your teacher.
What's Your Nervous System Saying?
