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. 👏🏻 🙏🏻
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.
@@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!
Im 33 and have a pretty active lifestyle. I’ll weight lift, do some hiking, and consistent walking. I also eat a well balanced meal - fish, veggies, fruits and water. However, I do get easily stressed and don’t know what to do to remove it. I just started running 3 weeks ago as I’m training for a 5k. Within 3 weeks, my heart rate variability went from 47 to a 56. My resting heart varied between 64-69. Now it’s between 53-59. The slight change of running a mile to 2 miles 3-4x a week made such a big difference. Last thing, I use the Garmin watch and it stated that I decreased my age to 31. My set target is 29.
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for this amazing information on HRV which I had never heard about before. You are so good at giving us tools to better our lives. People around me - more composed and in control of their emotions now that I think about it - don't sleep well and we just put our hands up in the air as to why? I sleep well. I wonder if it is because I don't hold anything in. I let everything all my emotions out as it comes, VERBALLY and bodily, through playing tennis and pickleball, playing music on the louder side, dancing, singing out loud, journaling and creative projects. The choices are endless, really. Of course I could be wrong about this, but I hope this helps some people.
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.
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 🥰
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.
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.
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!!!
@@daredelois8402I wanted to get the Vivoactive 5 but have learned the Venu 3 has better sensors. I think I’ll get that. It reads hrv at all times while my Fitbit only reads it while sleeping.
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.
We just bought this and received it. First, all you get is the sensor. The software, manual, and training videos are all digital and need to be downloaded and/or printed. I burned a BluRay disc of the training videos and a CD with the downloaded software and manual... I appreciate hard copies... just seems more professional. After getting everything setup and running - we had issues with the sensor disconnecting and giving spurious readings. It worked like 1 time every 10 tests we ran. Dr. Berg support directs you to Binacor - which is what this is - a stripped down Binacor Body Health Analyzer. You can't put in manual BP readings, height, weight, BMI, glucose like with the Binacor version for history tracking. There even apparently was a BP cuff that worked with the software but is now discontinued. The price between the Dr. Berg SRA is the same as the Binacor BHA. At this point I don't see the advantage of going with Dr. Berg's SRA - as if you have problems you'll be dealing with Binacor anyway.
Update. The device was fine - turned out to be an issue with the network card on the laptop apparently. Binacor was very good in sorting it out... and they even turned on manual entry for height, weight, glucose, and blood pressure on my account!
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.
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.
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.
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 🙏🏻
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
$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.

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?
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.
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 am 46 but living a very healthy lifestyle. My average HRV is 73-80. Nothing happened, I started to take new vitamins and since a week my HRV is quite low, between 38-41. I sleep 8-9 hours, have balanced diet, doing sport. I had quickly extendeed blood test, EKG etc but all my redults are great. No clue what is happened with my HRV😢
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.
@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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
but HRV should change if you have it all day, but if you have it 30 mins sitting on a chair I´d say it's normal that it doesn´t change and actually bad that it changes in that 30 mins...
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.
Big fan of Dr. Berg..... but ...... For the cost of this device, you can get an Oura ring which monitors 24 /7 and uses a mobile app. on your phone. They monitor your HRV during your sleep which like Blood pressure monitoring should be done in a resting state. This device appears to be a 30-dollar oximeter with Bluetooth. It appears they analyze the data with similar algorithms that Oura Ring pioneered. To get an accurate holistic picture of what you want to monitor you have to use a device that is worn 24/7 that monitors your sleep. Not a device you put on your finger for a few minutes. The 299. price is outrageous. The Oura ring starts at 299.
I have used the oura ring since it was beta and it does not give this type of information. You get HRV while sleeping and in the past month they added daytime HRV monitoring, but its just that- no helpful feedback. Whoop is slightly better for a few reasons. Lief wearables is the only device that hits closer to what this is doing. I didnt expect so many uninformed people in the comments. nuts
My Oura ring shows my overnight HRV, the graph has a low baseline but high, frequent spikes. Last night the avg was 25, the peak was 61. Which number is more important?
I'm confused, my watch had 51 ms, and over the past week it's slowly gone down to now 33 ms, I'm doing my best everyday, deep breathing exercises, only eat meat, plenty of exercise, why is it going down when I've been doing the same thing everyday?
How is your sleep? That can drastically impact it. Mine went from the 30s to 60s after having two relatively good nights of sleep. I wouldn't focus on a single week because it can vary. Focus on the month average.

Very interesting. Thankful to you Sir 🙏
You're most welcome!
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.
Sleep is the most important thing I value.
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 am 46 but living a very healthy lifestyle. My average HRV is 73-80. Nothing happened, I started to take new vitamins and since a week my HRV is quite low, between 38-41. I sleep 8-9 hours, have balanced diet, doing sport. I had quickly extendeed blood test, EKG etc but all my redults are great. No clue what is happened with my HRV😢
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?
❤🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg.
It's much appreciated.
@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.
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.
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!
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....
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.
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!
Great show 👍
Glad you liked it!
Loving it, my bio age is almost half of my passport age!
Btw don’t see the link for the company for the software??????
Thank you! Always!
You're very welcome!
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 🙏
Since starting carnivore my HRV has gone from 57 to 90. I don't know if it's too high?
Thank you doc 😊😊
You're very welcome!
⚠️ Both synthetic opioids/opiates will ruin accurate results. Healthy Keto rocks! 💯
Why would you be on opiates?
Thanks Doc
You're welcome
Could you make a video on how to treat sleeping catalepsy , and how to cure this? Thanks
This one was just a giant ad, was expecting to learn more about the HRV itself..
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.
thank you dr.
No problem. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
Thank you for sharing.
Sure
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
Wow this is really helpfull
No problem. Thanks for watching.
How would we address LOW heart rate with supplements, etc?
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!
The link to that particular product is not working. It goes to books. I am interested in the hrv monitor.
Sir. If u could make video for lypoma. Would be much helpful
I'll add that to my video suggestion list.
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.
but HRV should change if you have it all day, but if you have it 30 mins sitting on a chair I´d say it's normal that it doesn´t change and actually bad that it changes in that 30 mins...
not seeing the link for the device. I use fitbit watch. does the work just as well?
go to his store and browse, the link doesn’t go straight to the product
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.
Hey Dr. Berg what are your thoughts on Yakult the small probiotic drink?
Fight OR Flight System
It’s kind of funny that the add that comes up is for a Cadbury dairy milk bar when I click on a Dr Berg video.
Big fan of Dr. Berg..... but ...... For the cost of this device, you can get an Oura ring which monitors 24 /7 and uses a mobile app. on your phone. They monitor your HRV during your sleep which like Blood pressure monitoring should be done in a resting state.
This device appears to be a 30-dollar oximeter with Bluetooth. It appears they analyze the data with similar algorithms that Oura Ring pioneered. To get an accurate holistic picture of what you want to monitor you have to use a device that is worn 24/7 that monitors your sleep. Not a device you put on your finger for a few minutes. The 299. price is outrageous.
The Oura ring starts at 299.
Its the software that gives you all the data, we only use the oximeter to extract data off the heart. You're measuring 12 things, not just sleep.
I have used the oura ring since it was beta and it does not give this type of information. You get HRV while sleeping and in the past month they added daytime HRV monitoring, but its just that- no helpful feedback. Whoop is slightly better for a few reasons. Lief wearables is the only device that hits closer to what this is doing. I didnt expect so many uninformed people in the comments. nuts
Do we wear it all the time?
I'll think about it....🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU !!!
You're most welcome!
Are the formula's method of calculating these public?
Hi Dr. Berg i have a very important question, does tretinoin causes any internal side effects? like causing cancer or liver damage? please reply
VIDEO ABOUT VARICOCELE PLEASE
Garmin been doing this for a while
ya not the same
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+
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.
PLEASE ADD THIS SOFTWARE FOR ANDROID PHONES, SO THAT EVERYONE CAN USE IT. THANKS.
and iphone users..
Is the Oura ring good? I wear one every day all day.
My Fitbit gives me my daily Heart Rate Variablity. 😊
My Whoop band tracks it!
Basically if heart and body is healthy, your heart rate will adapt.
Ps Apple watch can also do hrv calculations
Sorry to see that a MAC program is n'ot ready.
All kinds of products, except for the HRV/ANS device☹️
I tried to sign up for something specific offered, it demanded my phone number on messenger 😳 so creepy...
This is not MacOS or iOS compatible. Any alternative?
My Oura ring shows my overnight HRV, the graph has a low baseline but high, frequent spikes. Last night the avg was 25, the peak was 61. Which number is more important?
The overnight average
I'm confused, my watch had 51 ms, and over the past week it's slowly gone down to now 33 ms, I'm doing my best everyday, deep breathing exercises, only eat meat, plenty of exercise, why is it going down when I've been doing the same thing everyday?
How is your sleep? That can drastically impact it. Mine went from the 30s to 60s after having two relatively good nights of sleep. I wouldn't focus on a single week because it can vary. Focus on the month average.
