“Good” heart rate control isn’t about achieving a perfectly flat line, we’re human not robots so variation is NORMAL.

This is why paying attention to the scale of your graph matters!

True steady-state mastery is about:

💙 Staying within your target zone consistently
💙 Watching for “Cardiac Drift” - a slow steady climb of HR despite consistent pace
💙 Embracing the noise - those small jitters are proof your body is responding in real-time

A question I commonly get asked: “How do I know if I should modify my exercise or activities?”

Here is a brief graphic to help guide your decision:

-Check in with your symptoms and how you feel first!
-Utilize Wearable information as a secondary guide. Resting Heart Rate (HR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) are good metrics to show how prepped your body is for activity/stress.
-Combine how you’re feeling with what the metrics say to make an informed decision on what is best for your recovery. Note sometimes less is more in the long run!

If your resting HR is elevated your body is working harder at baseline and therefore usual activities might take more capacity than usual.

HRV measures the variability between heart beats in a given minute. High HRV = a more resilient and adaptable nervous system. Low HRV = a more taxed nervous system, less adaptable to stress.

** Note that HRV and resting HR metrics should only be compared to your own prior data, using the same device. Wearables like oura ring and whoop only give an HRV number based off your deepest sleep aka when the number should be the highest. Apple Watch will measure it more frequently both at night and during the day. Therefore Apple Watch and whoop HRV numbers would be like comparing apples to oranges.

Stay tuned for future posts diving more into wearable technology and recovery!

We often view a symptoms flare as a sign of moving backwards. But in the world of dysautonomia or concussion recovery it can be a recalibration warning. As you expose your system to new stimulus and it shifts out of survival patterns, the transition can feel loud, messy and uncomfortable.

Think of it as a software update: the system has to go offline or acts a bit buggy before the new features kick in.

The shift: Instead of asking “What is wrong with me?”, try asking “What is my system integrating right now?”

Riding the Tides of Change 🌊

In recovery, we often wait for the day the “waves stop hitting,” but the real breakthrough is learning to respect the tide.

Whether you are riding a high today or feeling a little stuck in the sand as the water recedes, remember: the ebb is just as vital as the flow. It’s in the quiet, exposed moments that we find the strength to wait for the next rise.

Keep breathing. The water is coming back.

Concussion isn’t “just a head injury.”

Recovery isn’t one-dimensional and neither are symptoms.

The 7 Domains of Concussion shown here, show how systems overlap and influence one another. Headaches, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog… these don’t live in silos. They’re often the result of multiple domains working together (or struggling together).

💫True recovery means zooming out.
💫Treating the whole system.
💫Layering care thoughtfully - not all at once.
💫Honoring pacing and your nervous system along the way.

If you’ve been chasing symptoms without lasting progress, it may be time for a multi-domain approach.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. 💛
