Do any of you monitor your heart rate variability? How does taking rapamycin effect HRV in the short term?
I recently started using a polar chestband. I was a bit disappointed with how low my HRV was, but then wondered if having taken rapa on Sunday had anything to do with it.
I monitor HRV daily with my Oura ring and haven’t noticed any effect of rapa. Yes, definitely should exercise more (Zone 2 training) and try to get stress levels down and optimize sleep to improve HRV.
I track my HRV too my Oura ring also and I noticed that when I don’t eat anything in the evening hours past 7 PM I have high HRV readings. If I snack on something after 7 PM throughout the evening I Get Low HRV readings.
I monitor HRV and haven’t seen any change with rapamycin. I did have relatively low HRV a while back, so I did the breath course on Elite HRV (which is free). It went up dramatically and stayed there.
