128: Mastering HRV & Athletic Recovery
In this episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we chat with Don Moxley about heart rate variability (HRV) as a powerful tool for optimizing performance and driving better recovery. Don shares his journey from the wrestling mats of Ohio State to pioneering real-world applications of HRV for elite athletes, coaches, and everyday high performers. He tells engaging stories from his work in collegiate wrestling, shares insights from his family’s sports legacy, and walks us through how HRV data and recovery strategies made a difference for champions.
The conversation goes beyond athletics, discussing how HRV can guide professionals in high-pressure environments like law, finance, and medicine. The group explores why wearable tech can provide valuable awareness and how elements like sleep, nutrition, targeted supplements such as SPMs, and intentional recovery practices support better HRV and healthier, more resilient living. From practical breathing tips and cold exposure to the importance of purpose and managing daily stress, listeners will find actionable ideas for supporting their own biology.
