Listening to My Heart: How HRV Helped Me Optimize My Diet

We often trust that “healthy” meals are good for us – but what if our body disagrees? Through HRV monitoring, I discovered an unexpected connection between my meals and my energy levels.

The Lifefire HRV analysis solution has been a crucial tool in helping me find the right nutrition for my body. With its detailed analytics, it has served as a personal health coach for many individuals, including myself.

I was surprised to discover that a seemingly healthy meal like whole grain vegetable lasagna could leave me feeling drained of energy. Upon checking my HRV measurements, I noticed a
“stress response” for the past 30 minutes.

“I used to feel tired and exhausted, but now during meals, everything is good and I even reach a state of flow after proper recovery – it’s amazing!”

I immediately consulted the in-depth analysis on my computer and found that there was a potential intolerance to the meal I had considered light and healthy, accompanied by mineral water, which cost me 17 euros, quite expensive compared to cafeteria food. This made me question if the meal was the root of the problem.

In the past, I had always considered myself to be completely healthy. However, with the help of HRV monitoring, I noticed that I frequently experienced stress responses during and after meals. This made sense when I was eating in a hurry or having a few glasses of wine. But today’s experience made me determined to get to the bottom of this issue. After consulting with my doctor, I discovered that I had a food intolerance to gluten, which was quite unexpected for me.

Despite this, I am grateful for my doctor’s expertise and have been able to address my food sensitivities effectively. As a result, I now feel fantastic and have more energy from all my meals. My HRV measurements prove it – I used to feel tired and exhausted, but now during meals, everything is good and I even reach a state of flow after proper recovery – it’s amazing!
