Current Athletes and Head Trauma
Can Nootropics like Lions Mane, CBD oil and other supplements help with conditions surrounding CTE and head trauma? I’ve just started taking Lions Mane and feel like it’s helped with brain fog and brings an overall boost in my mood. My question is, would these supplements help for long term brain health? What about mental/physical exercise? I’ve been in the NFL for over 5 years now and hope to play more but I know I’ve sustained hits that will permanently affect my mental health and have long term issues. I would love to know your thoughts. Thank you for your time we all greatly appreciate it.
How concerned should I be with low HRV?
All indications suggest I’m very fit and healthy, I exercise regularly, I have good body composition, and I get 6-8 hours sleep most nights. But my HRV according to my whoop tracker is consistently in the 20s (ms). This is the only thing that causes me anxiety as I am told it’s a lead indicator for premature death. Having done a battery of tests to find any underlying cause and still coming up with nothing, how concerned should I be about HRV?
