It's not something you compare to other people.

And we've kind of gotten past that point.

But I think the limit of it is when you start to use it and you say, I'm going to say every single day I'm going to wake up and I'm going to look at that number and I'm going to use that number to now drive decision making in regards to what I do that day.

in my behavior.

And the problem that will ultimately arise from that is that, again, you're not taking context into consideration whatsoever.

And so now you're making decisions just kind of based off of that.

And you're not actually bringing in your own subjective experience and subjective feel.

So that's one.

The other limitation, I think, of HRV is that

The way it is being used now is that people are just using a singular metric and they're not actually looking at it in terms of the compilation of metrics that HRV actually is.

And so they misuse it because they say, well, I'm looking at this one number

And I'm either comparing it to something I shouldn't be comparing it as opposed to relative to me.

But I'm not looking at all kind of like the minute, high fidelity, really nuanced picture of what this can provide, which is why, for instance, if I'm working with

A pro athlete of mine, yeah, we're going to take their whoop data or their aura data.

I'm going to examine that and give them some feedback on that.

But I'm also going to have them do like a morning reading.

So they wake up and the first thing they do in the morning is actually do a two to five minute baseline reading.

Not a resonance reading, baseline reading.

Why am I doing that?

Because I'm deriving 12 to 15 metrics that are giving me a much more microscopic view of their nervous system as opposed to that singular one.
