HRV: What It Is and How to Improve It
Heart-rate variability has become the most-watched recovery metric. Here's how to actually move it.
What HRV measures
Variability in time between heartbeats. Higher = better parasympathetic tone and recovery capacity.
What drives it
Sleep, training load, stress, alcohol, nutrition, hormonal status.
How to improve it
Sleep is #1. Then training periodization. Then nutrition and stress management.
Medications that help
TRT and DHEA optimization often improve HRV in patients with deficiencies. GLP-1s can improve HRV by reducing inflammation.
