Well, these technology companies came out and said, well, we'll just use kind of like everyday sensors.

We'll use like wearables or a chest strap, like an EKG chest strap.

And then we'll just have you like breathe at this with this pacer in and out.

You'll be able to watch your heart rate variability in real time.

And then over time, that will then indeed result in improved autonomic flexibility, better emotional and stress resiliency, and so forth.

So HRV biofeedback is a tool that we use.

It is an intervention tool.

So as opposed to just looking at HRV as a data point, where it's actually using HRV in real time to guide the changes that are occurring in your nervous system.

So biofeedback being biological feedback in real time.

Yeah, so you're saying go do that and then utilize it as an intervention on a regular basis.

Yeah, it's a great question.

The answer to this is that you could 100% do that.

Like you could actually go into a clinician and have them run the full, you know, 12 to 15 minute pole layer protocol, get your resonance frequency rate, tell you kind of like, here's your inhalation, exhalation ratio, the timing, and you could do it by yourself.

Like you could 100% do that.

Because the intervention is in the breathing itself.

It's not in the data.

However, what I think is huge here that goes missing is that it's only as good as if you actually do it.

So you actually have to be practicing it.

And so many people have a hard time with getting into the habit and discipline of doing something like slow paced or resonance breathing without having a high degree of accountability.

Um, it's, it's, so you could, you could do it.
