Low HRV - how to increase this
I like to believe I am a very healthy person with very good habits. I have been having trouble sleeping for the last year (even after following all your tips) and my HRV is around 30-40 which is concerning. My body feels like it’s in a constant fight or flight mode which I hear is a symptom of low HRV. How does one get their HRV up? Is my low HRV causing bad sleeps or the other way around
Micronutrients, Supplementation, Routine Labs
I follow a very balanced and healthy diet and fitness routine. Recent blood work for micronutrients showed I was normal or higher on all vitamin levels, excellent cholesterol, A1c, and thyroid are normal. I am a fit and active 47-year-old woman with no medical issues, medications, etc. I do juicing and follow a plant-based diet. Should I still consider supplementation if I get everything I need in my diet, even with my normal micronutrient levels? I also just signed up for InsideTracker based on your recommendation, and I am starting with the InnerAge test with the many biomarkers to get a look at overall well-being. I hope to repeat these tests every 6-12 months. Do you have any recommendations to monitor overall health and well-being on an annual basis?
