About This Episode

Nutritionist Alessandro Ferretti discusses relationship between HRV and blood glucose. When glucose elevates compared to baseline, generally HRV is lower - connected to inflammatory response not just sympathetic activation. Covers food sensitivity testing via HRV, personal glucose baselines, ketone thresholds for training, and using HRV to assess diet responses.

Key Takeaways

  • Elevated glucose correlates with lower HRV
  • Connection is inflammatory not just sympathetic
