In this episode, Dr. Brett Scott sits down with Justin Roethlingshoefer to discuss stress and heart rate variability! Today's episode also really focuses around what is holistically integrated health, and what is "fake health".

Justin and Brett dive into what holistic, integrated health is and what it looks like. They also focus on stress and chronic illness, how stress leads to chronic illness, and how to prevent this. They talked about what true health really is, how to achieve it, and how it leads to optimized performance. They discussed the eight pillars/foundations of health, and look at how these are related to heart rate variability or HRV. There are many things that we don't understand about stress, and how it truly affects our overall well being. In this episode, they go over how nutrition, exercise, hydration, sleep, self care, immune function, environment, and mindset, all can affect our health, and how we use, or can use, heart rate variability to be an indicator of whether we're doing something that is improving our overall health or not.
