E236: Breathe better & stress less: understanding heart rate variability with Dr. Jay Wiles

We are thrilled to introduce our guest, Dr Jay Wiles, who is an international speaker, scientist, clinician, influencer, and subject-matter expert and authority on the interconnection between the human stress response and health performance/optimization. Dr. Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist with board certification in heart rate variability biofeedback and peripheral biofeedback, and works as a leading consultant in psychophysiology for health influencers, professional athletes and teams, executives, and high performers. 

He has pioneered new and innovative means of using heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory training as both diagnostic indicators of the dynamic nature of the human stress response, alongside therapeutic tools for regulating and conditioning this response for peak human performance.    

In this conversation we dive into the topic of HRV and discuss: 

  • What is HRV and how does it reflect your body's stress response?

  • How your HRV at night impacts the quality of your sleep.

  • Why HRV is the single greatest metric to better understand your adaptability to stress, both physical and psychological stress. 

  • The myths of HRV - including how you can’t compare your HRV to others.

  • What is resonance breathing and how it can be effective to regulate your nervous system and become more resilient to stress. 

  • Jay's new business venture through Ohm health and how this new technology can help you get into the parasympathetic nervous system.
