The last one I'll bring up is actually nutrition related, feeding frequency of food. Specifically, we have had a number of people come in for sleep-related issues, whether that is really bad sleep or just kind of suboptimal sleep, and they're eating one meal a day. Now, I'm not fundamentally opposed to one meal a day, but in our experience, this has led to really, really compromised HRVs.

What has happened many times is these individuals feel good, okay, or great for 30 days or 45 days, maybe up to 90 days. But then you see the nervous system just starting to pay the price. I'm not trying to indicate that one meal a day is bad for your health. Again, I'm going on my personal experience and the data we have in our companies and we've just seen it not go well.

And we've at the same time seen people then who eat more frequently. in terms of they were eating one meal a day and they change and go to a two or three and the nervous system sends to recover. I want to be real clear here. I don't only mean their HRV score. That does happen. But it's other signs and symptoms as well.

It's objective measures of say sleep quality, cognitive function, performance and so forth. They feel good. But their physiology in the longer term isn't responding how they think or hoping it really is. So if you are a one meal a day or fine, great. If you feel awesome, awesome. Keep doing it. I'm only bringing this up to where if you've made a change recently and you're like, what the heck?

Why is my HIV going down? That, I think, is the most appropriate way to interpret it as this is maybe one of the things that happens with lack of feeding throughout the day is it creates some potentially somewhat of a neurological or nervous system stressor that will alter HRV. So lots of other things I could bring up here, but those are the ones that I thought were most interesting.

It's a combination of some of the stuff that is most well-documented, the alcohol, the emotional regularity, so on and so forth, with some things I thought that maybe some of you would find interesting in that we've just seen behind the scenes that is not necessarily in the peer-reviewed literature.

8sleep makes smart mattress covers with cooling, heating, sleep tracking, and more. I've personally been sleeping on an 8sleep mattress cover for years now, and it's absolutely glorious. I love it so much that I hate traveling away from home because it means I can't sleep on my 8sleep Pod 4 Ultra.

As you'll hear me talk about endlessly on this podcast, there really is nothing you can do that makes more of an impact on your health and performance than getting tremendous sleep. And getting great sleep requires having your body temperature drop a couple of degrees at night. And that's hard to do on your own. The eight sleep has been a game changer for me because I run hot at night.

or as my wife calls it, I'm a furnace. If I don't have something like an 8Sleep helping me cool down, I'll wake up in the middle of the night overheating and not feeling great. This is something I've also found in many of the people that I coach, especially those who are really physically active. The 8Sleep Pod 4 Ultra has two times more cooling power, yet is virtually silent.

We have a little bit of an algorithm we use when determining if a change in HRV matters to us. So how do you interpret this context? Number one, we always check to make sure we got good data. I talked about that earlier. If they don't, then I disregard it. But let's say they do. Most of the time they do. So we've got good data, however you define that.
