In This Episode: 
To realize our hopes and dreams we need energy and clarity of purpose.  But, the global pandemic has rocked our physical and mental well-being, leaving many of us stuck in survival mode.  In this episode of the Elite HRV podcast, we speak with Jonathan Moore, founder of Legacy Coaching, where we explore the mindset and tools his clients have used to successfully breakthrough survival mode towards stability and growth.

Episode Guest: Jonathan Moore

Jonathan has a background as a brain-based chiropractor with over 20 years clinical experience. His main focus over that time has been on the impacts that stress has on the brain, and the results that overload has on the health of a person.

Clinical Rehabilitation & HRV - with Greg Elliott

Implementing HRV or other biomarkers with your coach/client?

Mike Nelson breaks down how to be more effective in both online and in-person coaching when it comes to using data and self-quantifying metrics like Heart Rate Variability.

Mike's PhD focused on both HRV and Metabolic Flexibility, and he's known for his successful online coaching of remote clients ranging from elite bodybuilding and powerlifting to general health and weight loss.

TOPICS:
* Coaching online clients with HRV
* Blood testing, omega 3s
* Push device, force/velocity measures during exercise
* Pros/cons of 24/7 wearables & sleep trackers
* How to save time while getting good data
* Identifying different metrics to use with different clients
* Why it takes time for clients to understand the value of HRV
* The affect of self quantification on self awareness
* Certain patterns in HRV that people don’t understand
* Patterns of under training 
* What to do for clients that only work out once or twice a week
* The fallacy of self diagnosis
* The power of accountability
* Why online coaching makes it easier to over train
* How HRV can measure the “cost" of performance

HRV: Injuries, Plasma Volume & Sports Implementation - Andrew Flatt part 2

Data analysis and statistics can be confusing or time consuming - especially HRV, health, or performance data.

Dr. Marco Altini joins us to share some of the nitty gritty of how Data Science plays a role in Heart Rate Variability analysis and other types of quantifiable research and self experimentation.

Marco is the lead data scientist at Bloom which is a pregnancy wearable technology company and he is the founder of HRV4Training - more details on his extensive background in wearable tech in the episode.

The Data Science Behind HRV w/Dr. Marco Altini

Did you know that your brain physically changes based on your every day choices and actions? Certain patterns of stress can break down the brain and nervous system and can reduce cognitive performance.

Jonathan Moore breaks it all down for us, and also covers how, if possible, to prevent and/or reverse maladaptation (bad adaptation) in the brain.

Biofeedback: High & Low Tech with Sarah Jamieson - Part 2

First coverage with the authors of a controversial scientific paper titled: Overfat and Underfat: New Terms and Definitions Long Overdue.

The obesity and "overweight" epidemic has spread across the globe. If we're to truly address the problem, we need to start using the right terminology and not hiding behind propriety (in certain situations). Doctors, researchers and individuals all need to arm themselves to take control of what some are now calling the "world health crisis".
