Today, I want to introduce you to something called heart rate variability (HRV).
HRV is a measurement of the variations between the heartbeats. There are different time distances between your heartbeats.
The more varied the timing is between the heartbeats, the healthier a person is, and the higher the HRV is. The less varied the timing is, the less healthy the person is, and the lower the HRV is.
HRV measures the autonomic nervous system. It has been well-researched and can help a person understand their ability to adapt to and recover from stress.
Many people use this technology to determine whether or not their body can handle the stress of working out on a given day. Maybe they can handle doing high-intensity training one day, but their body would do better with a day off or with low-impact exercise the next.
There are many different lifestyle changes you can make to help improve your overall health. HRV technology can help give you feedback to see if what you’re doing is actually benefiting you. It can even tell you your biological age and rate of aging.
You really can’t take your health to the next level if you can’t measure it. This is a fantastic and easy-to-use tool to help you do that right at home.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain how HRV technology can help you better understand your health. Learn more about HRV technology in the training videos above.
I am up early to catch a flight; the first 2 minutes of your video today helped get me awake! I’ve noticed an adaptation of my heart rate over the past year, lowering stress & more yoga. 👏🏻 🙏🏻
Dear Doctor,Thanks for all your videos that do have helped me .May I send my best wishes to You and Your Family
I think you mentioned around end August about bringing us a very interesting tool/device. I a few days ago I wondered what happened to it. So here it's, and I look forward to getting my hands on one to give me more insights into my insulin resistance challenges. I'm grateful to you Dr Berg 🥰
Dr Berg the intro to HRV is finally here. You’ve been hinting in your videos for a while. Thank you for the free training on your website. 21 videos so that we maximize our use of this device. I haven’t decided yet if I will purchase but I am grateful for all these free training videos so I can watch and learn and make a decision.
You're most welcome! I hope they help.
@@Drberg Purchased this product and was excited to use it...however I found NOTHING on where to download the software to go with this analyzer, VERY frustrating that there wasn't better guidance on this! ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated or I'll have to send the product back for a refund!
@@shawnlewis1918 I agree. This device doesn't measure hrv....just sp02. Dr has gone to the dark side?
Would love to see a video telling do's and don't on taking the vitamins you recommend. I know some are better early others late, some with certain things like fats. Things to not take together or foods and drinks to avoid for a certain amount of time.
@Helenegardeneryes but we just beee one big graph really telling us everything in one graph. All the information is too dispersed and too confusing. We REALLY need a spreadsheet that says what to take when and what not to take together, contraindications and she’s to take things or when to begin taking things and so on.
I took these types of tests when I was in New Jersey. When I was working on my health and diat and doing brain simulating things in my doctors office. I also would take this test sometimes. And each year, I would lower my biological age each year. First time I was 21 and the biological age was 20 , the second time i was 22 and my bio age was 19. And the Third time I took it. I was 23, and my biological age was 17. It was really amazing to see that. To see me get better. It was really cool.
Looks awesome Doc, I will definitely consider this.❤❤
My Garmin watch tracks this for me. Very useful
Here is your requested revised text:
Hello, I would appreciate it if you could create more videos about HRV. I am a 52-year-old woman who walks 2.5 miles per day and does pilates 4 times a week. My HRV is typically in the 50s. I eat healthily and generally sleep well. Despite this, I'm having trouble understanding my HRV readings. Please help! Your content is always informative and helpful to me, and I am grateful for all the assistance you provide in other areas.
Great show 👍
Glad you liked it!
Garmin devices also track HRV. It is amazing to be able to track this biological component in our bodies. Thanks for helping me to understand this better.
And iphone
Thank you for sharing this info.
I have the Garmin solar watch and have been paying attention to this for a few months. It’s incredibly informative and helping me understand myself so much!!!
If you have a suitable Chest Strap for training, such as a Polar or a Garmin which are both ECG based in effect, then those are compatible with the free Elite HRV App, which is pretty good and very well respected. Thus, you may already have what you need to check your HRV as often as you wish. Also worth mentioning that if you have an irregular heart rate, for what ever reason, then Optical Sensors that measure your Pulse at finger tips, tend to have a hard time counting beats, so are often widely inaccurate compared to an ECG based unit that measures your Heart Rate in terms of R to R interval on an ECG Waveform. Also worth mentioning that your Pulse measured at your extremities, and your actual Heart Rate that the heart is beating at, may not be the same. There can be a deficit between the two, depending upon how your heart is functioning.
This was super helpful, I actually have a Garmin strap and just downloaded the app.
Thanks Dr Berg, lots of interesting information.
You're very welcome
Thankful dr Berg, i am grateful your time to lecture this topic it's helping me to understand clearly about heart operation. ❤
You're very welcome! Glad you found it informative.
Heard it before because a lot of fitness trainer focus on increasing hrv and the recovery relationship with it
I have a background in cardiac, so know about sinus-arrhythmia from way back, now referred to as HRV. I got an iWatch almost 4-years ago and started to track HRV. Sure enough as I trained I saw a satisfying up tick in HRV. Then over the past year it increased further, good tight? No. When I looked deeper, HRV was chaotic (inter hour activity) further examination revealed occasional PVCs (missed or premature heart beats) My message is high HRV doesn’t always mean better.
One thing I have found helpful in improving HRV is to focus on pausing between activities and lowering my stress response. Some PEMF mats such as Swiss Bionic have a HRV sensor.
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
You're very welcome!
Very interesting. Thankful to you Sir 🙏
You're most welcome!
My garmin watch does this .....and it's pretty good 👍 after a rough workout etc when I'm stressed I use it to track and manage my recovery....
He seems to be an excellent doctor. I would like to visit him
The reason why "suddenly" everyone is talking about HRV is that it is now possible for everyone to measure and access it without such weird devices as mentioned in the video description. A lot of Garmin watches measure your HRV, Whoop has a dedicated device for this, I am sure other vendors provide similar functionality. They do this during the night, while you sleep. No need to put your finger into this thing for a couple of minutes.
Thank you for sharing.
Sure
Thanks for the useful info on HRV reading device. More detail training on reading demonstration on the device would be great!
@Helenegardener Thank you for the information!
Thank you! Always!
You're very welcome!
$299 is a lot for most people. It’s too pricey (and yes we know people will say “what is your health worth? But if we said for each and every device/supplement we are sold, we would all be broke!)!…. its just not feasible or scalable. This machine needs to be much, much cheaper so it becomes more widely used. The greed once again is getting in the way of broad general population health outcomes.
I’ve been tracking my HRV for several years through my Garmin watch. It’s pretty interesting. It always drops after a hard workout, alcohol consumption, and during sickness.
I love how you can see sickness coming before you can feel it directly
1. Heart Rate Variability - HRV.
2. Less time between the heart beats, the healthier the person is, higher the HRV is and vice versa.
3. Less HRV, Less healthy.
4. Ability to adapt to environment. Ability to adapt to stress, exercise, to recover.
5. Food, exercise, supplements useful for HRV, stress.
6. Software is free to use for graphical representation
7. We can see visual marks, indexes of health.
8. And also measure the biological age and rate of aging
@@PirateVerse hypothetical question. If a person is a gleaming example of good health but had an injury, and so is afflicted with low HRV but is able to fix it manually. Would you consider them in good health? Let's say every measure shows exceptional health, except HRV
What's the name of this HRV Device?
Couldn't find it in the transcript or comments.
So if I have issues with my sympathetic nervous system due to trauma, how can I help raising mine
Thank you doc 😊😊
You're very welcome!
I've used the Garmin Fenix7X which tracks HRV for a year now. I've found it useful in planning my workouts and found myself taking more time off between workouts. Stress levels, sleep and recovery improved.
How does it
Thank you for this insightful video, Dr Berg. Your educational content is always helpful. As a patient suffering from dysautonomy/pots/long covid I appreciate this 🙏🏻
Amazing Dr Berg. Your "cookies" must be tracking my recent searches as I've been searching for more information on HRV lately and how to improve it, as my readings since getting my Apple watch in Feb 2021 have chronically been well below where I understand they should be for my age (62), despite 3 sessions pw of both strength training & HIIT cardio (Vo2 max = 40). Only over the last week or so I've heard that poor breathing (shallow with fast exhale) can signal to the body that we are in "flight or fight" mode", ie, stressed, so I've started practicing controlling my breathing to a 4 second exhale (when I can remember). Some Welltory app (highly focussed on HRV) Stress markers have improved, so I'm waiting to see if I can maintain this whether the HRV will start to improve too. Look forward to further videos from you on this topic. Thank you.
❤🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg.
It's much appreciated.
Please do a video on Dry Eye Disease.
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction & Blepharitis
thank you dr.
No problem. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
Thanks Doc
You're welcome
I use my Fitbit to track all my stats including hrv, mine is 105 and I feel amazing
Wow thats awesome mine is only around 50 😅
How the fuhhhh? Mine is 50-70
Mines around 25-30 ..every thing else reports normal ..should I be worried?
Wow this is really helpfull
No problem. Thanks for watching.
Thank you ❤❤❤
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Sleep is the most important thing I value.
I’ve had the OURA ring for a few months at about $5.99/mo. It covers HRV but then my age and Head Injuries get in the way of understanding. I’m always highly stressed even when I’m at rest. I’m taking 21@minimum supplements. Would be great to have a chart with clarity of time of day to take them. I have a routine of purchase and sort AM and PM containers for 3 months. Some of yours are included. Your Adrenal and sleep aids are above and beyond.
Hi which sleep and adrenal aids do you use?
Interesting …I am 44 super athletic in the gym 5 days a week. Don’t drink or smoke , eat clean no fast food no history of health issues. I use the Apple Watch Ultra 2 which is the best if not one if the best trackers and it shows my HRV score between 25-28. What’s odd is my GF doesn’t work out eats like crap and her HRV shows 75 😮😮😮 I am like ummm somethings not right here.
You canj't read HRV from a finger. It is Pulse Rate Variability. HRV requires a true electrocardiogram on the chest. Like a Polar H10 chest strap or a lab grade multi-lead monitor. Yes, PRV can approximate HRV for healthy and good blood circulation health people, but it can also be a lot off. How do you know? You don't.
Hi Dr Berg, excellent video on this biohacking tool. I have been researching the Whoop and the Oura ring as well to measure my HRV. Have you tried either and any thoughts? Thanks!
Yes, I bought them all. Some are good for sleeping and even bio age of peripheral arteries. The one I am promoting is unique in that it gives you 12 different measurements to use when exercising and just reducing stress
I have an Oura ring which tracks it very well. Since the Virus, my HRV dropped by about half. If I'm unwell it reflects that immediately.
I have POTS/dysautonomia so I my HRV is not good. I have dozens of symptoms and 100’s of things left to learn. Hopefully more medical professionals can educate themselves with a deeper understanding of the ANS.
Garmin Vivosmart can do about the same thing in half the price. Garmin and Suunto watches already 5 years back have had the same functionality. Second hand items like Garmins and Suunto last basically forever, so very little risk in them. Suunto 3 fitness being most propably the cheapest to have "body resources" functionality. Garmin watches have this measurement in 3 minute intervals as Suunto only in 30 minutes, which makes Garmin preferred.
@Dr.BergDC would you do a presentation on WBAN? Wireless Body Area Network & Whole Body Area Network and explain how these work with the HRV device your promoting.
Could you make a video on how to treat sleeping catalepsy , and how to cure this? Thanks
Doc, as a ND, I have to it would be cheaper and way more effectice for people to buy quantum analysis machines. If it's for other than testing, I would like you to review or maybe partner with Pulsetto or its competitors. Neuromodulation of the vagus nerve seems to be the way to go. What are your thoughts on this?
⚠️ Both synthetic opioids/opiates will ruin accurate results. Healthy Keto rocks! 💯
Why would you be on opiates?
Purchased this product and was excited to use it...however I found NOTHING on where to download the software to go with this analyzer, VERY frustrating that there wasn't better guidance on this! ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated or I'll have to send the product back for a refund!
Sir. If u could make video for lypoma. Would be much helpful
I'll add that to my video suggestion list.
Using my Garmin, tracking HRV for the past 3 years, I have substantially improved my HRV which has noticeably increased my health. it is an invaluable tool.
I am very interested in this. I have an old HRV device from the Heart Math institute and would like to learn what’s new out there.
Great. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
Hey Dr. Berg what are your thoughts on Yakult the small probiotic drink?
I was never a big fan of today's health electronics/technology devices after getting some false readings on them from a doctors office. I'd rather just continue to eat as healthy as I can at a minimum, (OMAD) and exercise lightly and try to focus on more things the natural way as much as possible.
Thanks for your comment. Have a nice day!
Thank you Dr. Berg! I have been curious about HRV for a while. I have an ŌURA ring that measures HRV while I sleep. I’m curious about the actual numbers as my HRV is super low, 9-12 on most nights and sometimes it goes down to 8 or raises to 15. What is a “normal” range and how can I increase my HRV? Thanks!
Same here on whoop and fitbit mine is regulary in single digits never over 30

1. Heart Rate Variability - HRV.
2. Less time between the heart beats, the healthier the person is, higher the HRV is and vice versa.

Can you make a video on cellulitis and how to treat it please ? 🙏
I'll add that to my video suggestion list.
@@Drberg thank you 🙏
Hi Dr. Berg i have a very important question, does tretinoin causes any internal side effects? like causing cancer or liver damage? please reply
Today, I'm selling a pulse oximeter for 300 bucks.
I didn’t realize that over working out can cause inflammation
Yep…that’s why we need rest days to allow the body to heal…between workouts.
Do we wear it all the time?
Is the Oura ring good? I wear one every day all day.
❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU !!!
You're most welcome!
Price is steep, I was thinking around 80 bucks would be fair.
It’s $299 which is very expensive for most people. A machine like with the tech we have these days should’ve been no more than $80 I agree.
@@lapislazuli7876 bought a similar devices more than 10 years ago which you could extract data to spreadsheets. Was around 50$CAD.
How does this coincide with sinus arrhythmia, and IRBBB?
My understanding is that chest strap is the only truly accurate measure. Then maybe the Oura ring because it measures arterial blood as opposed to watches and other wearables.
Not true. Our device goes way beyond the mass rings, and watches, etc.
Hi Dr Berg. Could you do a video on whether a nicotine lozenge will break a fast? I am curious and can’t find any good sources
@Helenegardener could you share them if you think they are relevant?
VIDEO ABOUT VARICOCELE PLEASE

I'll think about it....🎉🎉🎉🎉
Off this subject, but, If estrogen causes hyperthyroidism, could that help with hypothyroidism?
Hello Dr. Berg,
I have a thyroid, damaged by Monsanto's 'Roundup' which I was accidentally sprayed with.
This has also given me a goiter.
Do you know of any method/substance that can help repair/rectify this problem please.
I was prescribed Levothyroxine, but am allergic to all three versions, especially the two earliest. The most recent version did no good, as each time I increased the dose, my body was fooled into reducing its own natural production. Eventually I was on 150 micrograms per day, and then got an allergic reaction. I stopped for week, and then started again on 25 micrograms per day, and still got an immediate allergic reaction.
I take kelp powder for additional iodine, and brazils for selenium.
I would be pleased with anything you can suggest.
I've looked at your other videos on thyroid, but my problem is different from average.
Thank you!🌹
Thanks, I found some of them, but I'm sure there are many more.
@Helenegardener
What I want to know, is it ALWAY'S treatable/fixable pertaining to those with sleep issues? I had an accident almost 2.5 decades ago, and can no longer sleep. I haven't been able to sleep 8hrs straight since then. The best I've done is 4hrs with the help of prescription sleep aids, and that is rare. I dont believe I ever hit REM anymore. I'm exhausted all the time. After 2.5 decades of this, I'm waiting on the shoe to drop as its already affecting my over all helath over the entire period. I just have a hard time believing, for me, its still correctable.
I think this might help you identify first where the problem is - is it too much SNS or not enough PNS. Ever since I went through basic training - no matter what I would get up at 4 am. Being rudely awakened at 4 created a dent into my circadian rhythms. REM sleep is more controlled by SNS - so, this tool may provide feedback to try a bunch of different things and see what moves the needle.
@@Drberg - Thanks!
Are the formula's method of calculating these public?
I'm curious how this recommended device compares to my Garmin watch for measuring HRV. I wear my Garmin all day and sleep with it on. Would the data obtained from one be better than the other?
This one was just a giant ad, was expecting to learn more about the HRV itself..
dr berg, or anyone else that knows. I have an issue where sometimes when I cough, in my lower abdomen not too far up from my "junk", I feel what I can only describe as a tearing feeling. It doesn't hurt, but it's definitely uncomfortable. I am very much over weight .. any thoughts on what it could be?
Cardiologist once lent me a device to wear for 24 hours monitoring my heart rate.
Is it the same idea?
That would be a portable ECG (in the USA its EKG), or Holter, but it may advise HRV, depending upon the Software that it is used with. Or, put another way, its Data will also cover HRV, but may not show this on the results if the Software does not analyse that. ECGs are primarily intended to log the electrical activity of the heart from various perspectives. The portable one is to try and capture events that might otherwise be missed from a shorter ECG carried out in Hospital or by a Doctor, which may only be for 30 seconds. So those ECGs can miss events that come and go, which the 24 hour ECG may catch.
no linux support?
The link to that particular product is not working. It goes to books. I am interested in the hrv monitor.
My Fitbit gives me my daily Heart Rate Variablity. 😊
Dr berg what can be causing me to get bad headaches during my period??? It happens every month when im on my cycle.. is there a certain supplement i can take instead of taking tylenol which i know isnt good to do

Weird timing I was just searching for hrv since i saw it on my garmin watch... i see values anywhere from 12ms... to 50ms... and then 32ms while i was sleeping...
Not sure what to make of it... 😂
I tried to sign up for something specific offered, it demanded my phone number on messenger 😳 so creepy...
Basically if heart and body is healthy, your heart rate will adapt.
high heart rate just after a set of exercise or after treadmill, is that the same bad high heart rate which is dangerous for heart?
@Helenegardener you always response thank you so much for that
You never said what a healthy HRV is? I would like to know. My sleep HRV is 16ms with a high of 28ms. Is that good? My daily average is 14ms.
That's quite bad, mine is always sub 50 for the most part as well. Health is generally 100ms+
Sorry to see that a MAC program is n'ot ready.
How well does my Oura ring track my HRV?
accurate, but doesn't give details that are helpful, IMO
Ps Apple watch can also do hrv calculations
Is it change by the age, logically should be.
My HRV is low 20's... high 20's on a big day... according to my Whoop. I also suffer from derealization 24/7. Been stuck dissociated for over 25 years. Now that I know my HRV is low... I''m curious if I could cure my deralization if I got my HRV number up. I'm only 39 & very fit.
I went through that after a Panic attack a few years ago, started doing the Wim Hof Method and when I would think weird ( like you are )I would throw my focus on something I'm doing now. Like ( I'm looking at the screen, I'm washing my hands, etc. ) and I broke out of it.
Take a look into it, All the best to you.
That is low! If it was me I'd first check Medications you might be on or chronic illnesses (if any), diet/nutrition for Heart and Nerves (Take a good quality Mulit like Inessa, also Fish Oil, Magnesium for a start) , do HIIT but don't over-train, get good sleep, make sure you have 1+ litre liquids a day, try some OMAD or ADF, also take daily health powders [Daily = 5g Creatine, 5g Glycine, 2g NAC + 1g Taurine (if over 50)]
@@Iammram What you're describing is called mindfulness. So I can see how that would have helped. Good for you!
@@quickpstuts412 Yea, it was something I came across on another persons CZcams who broke out of the negative thinking by reading some famous psychiatrist lady who taught this ( I forget her name )
