In this episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen explains how heart rate variability (HRV) serves as a crucial indicator of stress and recovery. By tracking HRV with Fibion Helix, users can gain real-time insights into their autonomic nervous system, which regulates both stress response and recovery processes. Dr. Tikkanen discusses how high HRV generally indicates good recovery and low stress, while low HRV can point to insufficient recovery or high stress levels.

Dr. Tikkanen highlights how HRV is not only valuable for measuring physical recovery but also provides critical information for managing mental and emotional stress. Using HRV data, individuals can tailor their training plans, avoid overtraining, and better understand the impact of their lifestyle choices on their overall health. This episode also covers how Fibion Helix tracks HRV alongside other recovery metrics, helping users optimize their rest and improve performance. Whether you're an athlete or someone looking to better manage stress, HRV is a powerful tool for monitoring health and recovery.
