I know that does not resonate with a lot of Americans , especially those working jobs just to keep health insurance, in medical bankruptcy, without a living wage, or suffering from bias in policing, schooling and corporate companies. My friends who skew more liberal will typically cite poor education, poor healthcare, no social safety net, racism, women’s medical rights, unclear social security, gun policy, poor infrastructure and more to say that our country is breaking down. Those are all true. Still, I think a lot of immigrants and children of immigrants, and those who work with colleagues abroad, appreciate the US a lot more than 2nd and 3rd and +++ generation Americans. </p><div class="image"><img alt="" class="image__image" style="" src="https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/ff0f3078-6c01-4b1c-af0b-2da9aa46e750/IMG_4283_2.JPG"/></div><hr class="content_break"><div class="section" style="background-color:transparent;margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;padding:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Sponsored by…me!</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:0.6rem;">Feel like you know exactly what to do to be “on it” - and feel your best - but need accountability? </span></p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:0.6rem;">That’s where I come in.

Doctors went from ‘fibromyalgia’ to ‘you’re faking it’ to ‘try topical steroids’.</code></pre></div><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Finally, she went to an allergist for a full panel.

A good metric for measuring stress is called Heart Rate Variability (HRV). </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">If your Resting Heart Rate is 60 beats per min, you think ❤️ beats 1x per sec, right? No.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Imagine a period of 5 seconds. Your heart may beat at 1.2, 2.4, 3.0, 4.5, 5.2. This distribution shows a lot of variability. Kind of inconsistent, right? HRV = higher. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">However, when stressed (by a bear, your wife or your boss), your heart will beat and pump blood <span style="text-decoration:underline;">more consistently</span>. </p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">1.2, 2.2, 3.3, 4.3, 5.2, 6.3, etc…HRV = lower.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">So, anything that reduces your stress levels, or allows you to deal better with stress, will increase the variability in your heart rate. We can measure that.</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Meditation, exercise, adaptogens, breathwork…hugs, sex, food we like, safety…</p><p class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">All good examples.
