Many people know how to track their heart rate, but few track a lesser-known signal that might reveal even more about their health: heart rate variability, or HRV. Once associated with alternative health, HRV is gaining mainstream traction as a marker of physical and mental well-being, especially as chronic conditions rise globally.
“Heart rate variability is now recognized as valuable in interventions for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more,” neuropsychologist and HRV researcher J.P. Ginsberg said in an interview with The Epoch Times. “It was once on the fringe, hardly recognized, but now it’s alive and well—applied in larger-scale research and clinical settings.”
