Creator description · original textText language: English
HRV, or heart rate variability, is a recovery and resilience biomarker that may provide insight into longevity, stress regulation, and healthy aging. In this video, we explain how HRV reflects the balance of the nervous system and why resilience matters for long-term healthspan.

Heart rate variability is often discussed in longevity science because it relates to autonomic nervous system function, cardiovascular health, metabolism, inflammation, sleep quality, and recovery. While HRV does not predict lifespan on its own, it can be a useful biomarker for understanding how well the body adapts to stress, training, illness, and lifestyle demands. Supporting healthy HRV may be one part of a broader healthy aging strategy that includes exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and regular health tracking.
