🚨 LOW HRV? Before you let one number decide your day… listen to this.

HRV explained: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is NOT a scorecard, it’s a SIGNAL. In this episode, I break down what low HRV means, why HRV can drop even when you feel fine, and the #1 mistake high performers make when HRV drops: chasing daily scores instead of reading the weekly/monthly trend.

Most leaders don’t burn out because of one big event. They burn out from unseen accumulation and HRV helps you see the invisible so you can adjust your rhythm, recovery, and habits before it costs you.

āœ… In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What HRV actually is (and what it’s NOT)
• What low HRV means (and why it can happen even if you feel fine)
• The #1 mistake: treating HRV like a grade/identity instead of a guide
• Why ā€œrecovery/readiness scoresā€ can create confusion (and what to focus on instead)
• How to measure HRV correctly (and why nocturnal HRV can be most useful)
• Why trends vs single days (weekly/monthly trend lines)
• The most common reasons HRV drops (sleep, alcohol, stress, travel, training load, inflammation)
• What ā€œgoodā€ HRV looks like (benchmarks + YOUR baseline)
• Should you change your whole day based on HRV? (No, use it to guide small adjustments)
