Why HEART RATE VARIABILITY (HRV) Matters For Weight Loss

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one of the most powerful (yet often overlooked) indicators of your body’s stress, recovery, and overall health. 

If you’ve been struggling with weight loss, poor sleep, or constant fatigue, your HRV might be telling you why!

In this video, I’ll break down how understanding and tracking HRV can give you key insights into your metabolism, nervous system, and ability to lose fat effectively.

In this video, I’ll cover:

✅ What HRV is and why it matters for stress, performance, and recovery
✅ How low HRV is linked to high cortisol and weight gain (especially belly fat)
✅ The connection between HRV and hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin, making it harder — or easier — to control cravings
✅ The best ways to track and improve your HRV for better health and fat loss

💡 I’ll also take you behind the scenes of my personal HRV data to show you how I use it to optimize my body, handle stress, and see results.
