As you, my fearless and loyal reader, darn well know by now—I am a card-carrying fanatic when it comes to HRV.
​
Yes, the black magic of stress assessment, the voodoo of recovery. It’s like peering into the soul of your nervous system with the cruel eye of science.

And the number one question that hammers into my inbox like a bat out of hell, time and time again, is this:

"How do I increase my HRV?"

Now, here’s the rub, kids: a higher HRV generally means you’re less fried, cooked, and frazzled—more in the glorious parasympathetic state where recovery reigns and all is right with the world (or as close as can get).

To give you the straight dope, I just slapped together a quick and dirty wipe-board session.
​
Yes it is my furious pen on the screen to create scribbles that appears like a meth-outed chicken with a pen in its feet ran around.

Now, even if you’re one of those rogue agents who doesn’t measure HRV—tsk tsk, shame on you—the tips in this video still hit home.
​
Why? Because they’re about pumping up your recovery capacity so you can train harder, faster, and smarter.

Strap in, my friend, and enjoy the ride.

Much love,
Dr. Mike
