We have recently developed an algorithm that calculates the user’s HRV age from to their health metrics, making it easier for users to see how good their health really is. If your HRV age is lower than your chronological age, you’re in good health. It also provides the benefit that users can see the age… Continue reading HRV Age

Ageing, exercise, and HRV
Proven to protect against a wide array of diseases, exercise may be the most powerful anti-aging intervention known to science[1]Researchers shed light on how exercise preserves physical fitness during aging[2]Exercise preserves physical fitness during aging through AMPK and mitochondrial dynamics. As we age, our fitness drops off faster, and recovery takes longer. Our training needs to adapt… Continue reading Ageing, exercise, and HRV
People with high HRV live longer
HRV declines with age[1]RMSSD by age and gender. When looking at the statistics it appears that the rate of declines slows as we get older, and then reverses after 80[2]Relation of high heart rate variability to healthy longevity. The reason for this pattern lies in the way that averages work. People with lower HRV die… Continue reading People with high HRV live longer
Reversing ageing with HRV
As we get older our health deteriorates. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures health, and that decline in health appears as lower HRV. At the age of 65, my HRV score should be 51. As the graph above confirms, even at its worst my score is always above 65 – the score for a 25 year… Continue reading Reversing ageing with HRV
The dependency ratio: it is changing governments
It’s impressive to see how the great minds of the 18th century understood today’s more pressing problems. In his opening chapters to the Wealth of Nations,[1]The Wealth of Nations Adam Smith explains in detail how the proportion of economically active people to those who are inactive is an important determinant in the wealth of a… Continue reading The dependency ratio: it is changing governments
HRV and ageing
Age is a disease. That’s Dr David Sinclair’s point. It has all of the symptoms of a disease, and the only reason that it’s not classified as a disease is because everyone suffers it. So, how does it work? Cells are allocated to certain tasks within the body at birth. During life, they die… Continue reading HRV and ageing
