ADVICE

Practical Ways To Raise HRV

  • Improve HRV by prioritizing stress reduction: use breathwork, vagal exercises, PMF/acupressure mats, massage, and social time.
  • Support HRV with circadian hygiene, hydration, sauna/cold toggling, targeted supplements, and appropriate fasting.
INSIGHT

Cycle-Aware Biohacking For Women

  • Women's cyclical hormones change metabolism, mood, and training capacity across the month and lifespan.
  • Track cycle phases and tailor exercise, carb intake, and social/workload to follicular versus luteal needs.
ADVICE

Essential Labs To Request

  • Ask your clinician to test vitamin D plus K1/K2, fasting glucose/insulin, triglycerides, CRP, ferritin, and full lipid panel including ApoB.
  • Include hormones (IGF-1, DHEA, cortisol, sex hormones) and thyroid markers when assessing function.
