In this podcast, Dr. Fitness invited Greg Elliott on the show to discuss the concept of heart rate variability (HRV) and its significance for overall health. Listen in as Greg explains that HRV, which measures the variability in the frequency of heartbeats, can be a more critical indicator of an individual's well-being than just the heart rate itself. And stay tuned as Greg talks about a higher HRV indicating a healthier and happier state, how HRV can be a valuable tool, especially for individuals with invisible chronic conditions and how it can predict health issues before they manifest as symptoms.
Greg is on a mission to educate and inspire everyone to take hold of their own health and wellbeing so people can live a long, healthy, happy life. As a healthcare practitioner and long-time thought leading in Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Greg put all his knowledge to practice, leading a busy life as an Osteopath, entrepreneur, husband and father of 2. He understands the frustrations of navigating the mess of health information to find out what really matters.
