KNP335 - The Importance of Tracking Your HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
On today’s show, Michelle and I discussed HRV or better known as heart rate variability. It is the variance in time between the beats of your heart. So, if your heart rate is 60 beats per minute, it’s not actually beating once every second. Within that minute there may be 0.9 seconds between two beats, for example, and 1.15 seconds between two others. The greater this variability is, the more “ready” your body is to execute at a high level. We talked about how to raise your HRV and keep it raised for optimal health, wellbeing and recovery.

KNP328 - Stop Sleepwalking Through Life with Paula Liddiard
On today's show, my friend Paula Liddiard joined me, the owner and operator of FitCutLIfe. Paula has an inspiring story of overcoming a brain tumor and shifting her focus on nutrition. In addition, she discussed how so many people sadly sleepwalk through life and how take control of your own journey. More about Paula: A proper nutrition and fitness regimen is crucial for your overall well-being. There is so much information put out as to what might work to help you reach your goals. We are here to help you cut through all of the confusion and find the right fit for what works for YOU! Taking the leap to allow someone to guide you through this process of learning and change can be both exciting and overwhelming. Coaching you to find your freedom with food and exercise that gives YOU results is a privilege we don't take lightly. We build connections and use our experiences and knowledge to shine a light on what really matters and works for YOU. We don't believe in eliminating foods without good reason. We don't believe in exercising for food but rather fueling our bodies for the activities that we enjoy and help make mind and body stronger. Our overall goal is to provide realistic, science based, fad-free nutrition education and coaching. We truly believe the key to your success is having a plan, breaking down that plan into doable steps each day until habits are formed and analyzing what works best for you using a periodized approach. http://Fitcutlife.com Minstrong Event – https://keynutrition.com/mindstrong-event/ Discount code: keynutrition for 20% off your first Legion order.
