The Scans, Part 3: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Scan

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) testing is a simple and accurate test that uses complex mathematical calculations to analyze the rates and rhythms of the resting heart beat pattern, measuring your overall ability to adapt to your environment. 

It measures that ability by looking at the timing of your pulse and determining the balance and tension within your nervous system. The more variation in the timing between the beats of your heart, the more “reserves” you have to adapt to and handle stress. Stressful lifestyle habits including poor diet, limited exercise and constant emotional aggravation can cause the body to be caught in the fight/flight response. This can lead to exhaustion and draining of a person’s reserves and ability to adapt to stress and continue to heal optimally.
