Tue, 12 Sep 2023 - 1h 20min - 44 - ACT Your Way Out of Anxiety with Dr. Carissa Gustafson
In this week's episode, we have an enlightening chat with psychologist Dr. Carissa Gustafson about using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to get a handle on anxiety. Dr. Gustafson provides valuable insights on how a sense of lacking control can drive anxiety. She explains how ACT helps you accept what you can and can't control, and take action focused on the present moment.
We also dive into powerful ACT concepts like mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and connecting behaviors to your core values. Dr. Gustafson emphasizes embracing all your experiences with compassion as opposed to avoiding difficult emotions. She shares extremely practical techniques to become more flexible and committed to the meaningful life you want. Get ready to learn research-backed tools to develop self-awareness, acceptance, and take value-aligned action when anxiety strikes!
Some amazing highlights from our chat:
2:30 - Dr. Gustafson explains how anxiety arises from wanting control to feel safe. She emphasizes accepting what you can and can't control.
7:55 - How mindfulness helps relate to thoughts and feelings with open awareness rather than avoidance.
13:40 - Dr. Gustafson talks about using cognitive defusion to become unstuck from anxious thoughts. She suggests thanking your mind for trying to protect you.
21:15 - Dr. Jay asks about linking behaviors to values to enhance motivation for change. Dr. Gustafson agrees this is key.
31:20 - Dr. Gustafson stresses embracing all experiences, even difficult emotions, with self-compassion rather than judgment.

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 - 1h 02min - 43 - From Stress to Strength: A Psychologist's Journey Back to Mental Well-being
In this podcast, I challenge the misconception that health professionals are immune to their own struggles. As a psychologist and co-founder of Hanu, I share my experiences with emotional stress and anxiety to show that anyone can face these challenges. It's time to prioritize mental health as a crucial foundation of our wellness plans.
During the podcast, I discuss the power of mindfulness and being present in the moment. Breathing exercises are essential for embracing our emotional experiences. Additionally, I share my fitness routine, which includes Zone 2 and Zone 5 training for cardiorespiratory fitness. Join me on this journey to prioritize our mental health and embrace well-being through mindfulness, exercise, and other important aspects.

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 - 1h 13min - 36 - Ben Greenfield Interviews Dr. Jay About the Hanu Wearable...While Wearing the Hanu Wearable!
Welcome back to another episode of the Hano health podcast. I got another special one for you, and I don't mean to bombard you with all things, Ben Greenfield, but this is two weeks in a row that we wanted to release some content from Ben Greenfield.
Now it's not actually an interview with Ben Greenfield. It's actually me on Ben Greenfield's podcast. So if you're a follower of Ben Greenfield, you might have heard this one, but if not, you'll get the special opportunity to hear me being interviewed by Ben Greenfield on his podcast about all things HRV and Hanu.
Now this was a really special occasion for me as a podcaster, as a friend of Ben's. And the reason it was so special is because obviously we wanted to show Ben and his audience the world of Hanu. But one thing that I loved about this podcast that you will find really interesting is because Ben from the very beginning of the podcast has the Hanu strap on, he's got his app open and we walk through a lot of the features within the application. So he asked me questions on what he's seeing, why his data is doing what it's doing, etc. And I was able to provide an in-depth explanation of what's going with the app and device in real time.
We walk through many of the different features, like the resonance frequency assessment that you get to do making sure that you're tracking things like bolt score, doing all of these beautiful practices.
We talk about this idea of snapshot, which is like a testing feature morning readiness reading feature. All of the goodies are in there. So Ben and I unpack it all in this podcast so that I hope that you really enjoy this one because it was a blast for me to do and to be able to share with Ben's audience.
And I'm very grateful that Ben said to go ahead and share it with the Hanu audience as well. So if you've already listened to the podcast, yes, it's the one that I did withBen recently. But if you haven't listened to it, here's your opportunity to do it and to support Hanu while you do it by listening on our podcast, couple other ways that you can help support the podcast.
Then you can write to us: podcast@hanuhealth.com and we will send you a Hanu Health goody pack full of amazing Hanu and oxygen advantage gear. I hope that you really enjoy this podcast episode that I did with the one and only Ben Greenfield on his podcast. He's wearing this thing, telling you about what he sees and you will be able to experience this yourself soon.

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 - 1h 08min - 35 - What is Heart Rate Variability, And How to Use It to Optimize Your Life (orig. aired on Ben Greenfield Fitness podcast)
This is a podcast that I recorded about two years ago for Ben Greenfield. It's a solosode that I did for him all on HRV.
Now this podcast is so incredibly dense and long. We're talking about a deep dive into all things, HRV. We're going to talk about all the different metrics of HRV. We're going to get into depth in terms of psychophysiology, what produces HRV.
There are a couple caveats before we jump into this podcast. There are some things that I've changed my mind on. I recorded this two years ago, and guess what? The science changes and let me explain the two things. Number one is I provide an entire section on normative ranges. I'm actually going to give you permission to skip it. The reason is because I am coming more and more to the conclusion that those normative range bases that I presented are just there as a novelty. They're just there as something that if you're curious, you've got it. Remember we're supposed to only self compare as opposed to normatively compare, but I spend a really long time talking about these normative comparisons and providing frameworks for those based on age among other things.
You can listen to it, but feel free to skip it. If you already know that it's basically pointless to compare yourself normatively, but if you're interested in where you fall by all means like, go for it.
The second thing is that I utilize the term autonomic balance or HRV balance a lot in this podcast. The science has already has also concluded that terminology probably isn't the best terminology. On one hand, you can say yes, there is a level of autonomic balance that happens. But on the other hand, that's way more of an oversimplification of what actually happens.
What I want you to framework this in, when you hear it on the podcast, is that we should think about our nervous system and HRV in terms of double footed driving. Whereas we don't want just have a foot on the gas pedal, which is the sympathetic nervous system, and then we slam on the brakes. We can actually drive with both feet and modulate those. And the point is not to engage in balance. I always come back to the whole point of HRV biofeedback and training is to train autonomic control.
You can tell your sympathetic nervous system what you want to do with it at any given time, as well as your parasympathetic nervous system that comes from training. That's why we created Hanu. It's why you have this system, hopefully in your hands, or you're using it right now is because it is intended to train autonomic control.
So those are the two key points that I wanted to mention. Again, I'm excited to be able to bring you this really deep dive. And I have another podcast coming from the Ben Greenfield podcast that's all about, Hanu. Not just a deep dive in HRV, but Ben actually asks me all about Hanu, the company and mission. So be on the lookout for that one coming very soon.
Last thing before we jump in, just to remind you, if you have already pre-ordered, it's time for you to complete that order. So look out for that email so you can complete it and we can send it to you in August. And also too, if you want to be a pre-order customer and get your device in August, use coupon code POD40.

"Mr. Gorbachev, unstress this mess." -Ronald Reagan
Of course President Reagan said, "Tear down this wall" in his famous speech around the fall of the Iron Curtain in the late 1980's. But a lifestyle laden with unhealthy stress can be our own personal "wall of oppression" if we don't address it wisely and with intention.
In this episode, host Jay Wiles lays down his own routines and hacks to "destress" his life and how you can too. Enjoy!

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 - 47min - 26 - McKeown Q&A 7: Food and the Nervous System & Breathing Mechanics
Jay is back to answer more great questions from our loyal listeners!
In this episode, Jay discusses...
-The Hanu device allows you to log and track life events so you can analyze how your life events effect your stress...04:10
-Dr. Wiles uses the Hanu device daily and has noticed how eating effects him physiologically...08:15
We have 3 branches of the autonomic nervous system.Eating food is an activator for the enteric branch of the nervous system.We can prime the digestive system with breathwork. Heart rate will go up when you eat.The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems can work antagonistically or complimentarily. It's complicated, but that's physiology!Intermittent fasting: when you break the fast with foods that are highly inflammatory, there are immense changes in biometrics.The effects of inflammatory foods persist much longer than a typical, less inflammatory meal. Dr. Wiles has found from his personal tracking that there is a direct correlation between the amount of time HRV is suppressed and heart rate is increased after the meal, all dependent on the quality of the food, and perhaps even more so, the quantity of the food consumed when breaking the fast. Dr. Wiles has conducted some tests with quantity and quality of food for breaking his intermittent fasts.-You can use your own data to get self-informed about the variables that effect your nervous system from a longevity standpoint and a severity standpoint...25:00
-A new study about mindful awareness to help prime the nervous system for better stress resilience...27:25
-"The Influence of Slow Paced Breathing on Executive Function" study...33:30
-The take-away from these two new articles is that to improve executive functioning and cognitive function, engage in activities that slow your breath respiratory rate down, but do not engage in activities that have you focus on your breath awareness...36:30
Listener Q&A:
Brandon asks: I'm having a hard time understanding if my breathing mechanics are still dysfunctional. It's hard to tell if my ribs are expanding like you have said that they should. Am I doing something wrong? Also, I've heard that when you are exhaling that it can help to gently pull your naval inward. Is that OK?...39:30
In the answer, Jay discusses:
This question focuses on biomechanics.Panic attacks are the most extreme form of anxiety, and you see very short, quick breaths. Rapid, Thoracic chest breathing.LSD breathing: Low, Slow, Diaphragmatic Breathing is recommended.Try not to get hung up on executing the 'perfect mechanics' of a breathThe gentle pull of the naval is not something you actively pull. You just notice it when you are breathing correctly.Jennifer asks: When I am doing breathwork exercises, especially to relieve stress, I have found that instead of sitting upright, I actually like to lean over. Still seated. Is this OK? I just feel better when I do this....50:50
In the answer, Jay discusses:
When we are engaging the core and over-activating muscle contraction, it has a negative impact. Maintaining a non-rigid, relaxed neck posture is good. Biometrics are highly subjective and individualized, so try different postures and check the biometric shifts and changes for yourself.Is it OK? Yes! When you lean over, you are letting gravity help expand the lungs. Trust your body when things feel good and use data to confirm.That's a wrap!

-The Hanu Health blog, the Wave, has tons of great content. Check it outhere.
Listener Q&A:
Mitch asks: I've always had a low HRV and I've heard it can indicate that I'm at risk for a heart attack. What can I do in order to help with this?...10:15
In the answer, Jay discusses:
I want to dispel this notion that someone has a "low HRV," because this is all very relative. HRV for the most part is not a normative, comparative piece of biometric data.Low and high HRV only has meaning in relationship to your own individual base line HRV. Every person's normative range for HRV varies.HRV is just a metric among other metrics to determine heart health.HRV is not a good indicator for risk for heart attack alone. There are many other great metrics to look at for that purpose. To help, be sure you understand what HRV is used for and what it is not used for. HRV is a mechanism for autonomic control, so you can learn to use it well for self-regulation.Normal is better in the field of HRVCindy asks: I have been working on trying to be more active with breathwork and HRV training. I think Hanu will be a huge source of encouragement and accountability for me. (We love to hear that Cindy!) Where is a good place to start in this part of my journey?...20:10
In the answer, Jay discusses:
Where do we start in creating habits? James Clear wrote a book called, "Atomic Habits," and a key concept is to act like who you want to become. Small changes, even changing your language, can make large impacts and really help with habit formation.Research is clear that the greatest benefit of HRV work comes from 25 minutes twice a day. This is difficult to jump into right away.Begin with identity language such as, "I am someone who works on my stress resilience." "I am a breathwork practitioner." "I am an HRV biofeedback practitioner."Start small. It can be 30 seconds to a minute each day to start. Hanu will definitely be a great help for encouragement and accountability. As you get the feedback, work on extended your time frames on your new habits and go from there.Jay has formed a habit during his commute using the Hanu Health app and breathwork with the Relaxator.Paul asks: What do you think about devices that claim to raise your HRV? Is that possible?...28:50
In the answer, Jay discusses:
He is board certified in this area, and his approach is, "Prove it."Show me the data. Hanu is built on HRV biofeedback research that has been established for decades.The underlying function of HRV biofeedback is to engage the parasympathetic nervous system, and there are researched benefits for many health concerns.Be wary and skeptical if the claims say your HRV will increase passively. It is likely click bait.That's a wrap!

Fri, 11 Mar 2022 - 1h 25min - 23 - McKeown Q&A #6: Improving Your Resilience to Stress with Breathwork and User Questions
Jay is once again joined by breath expert, and author of The Oxygen Advantage Patrick McKeown to discuss the new Hanu wearable, stress resilience interventions, neurotic thinking, and much more including answers to the most burning questions from our loyal listeners!
In this episode, Patrick and Jay discuss...
-The layperson's guide to using the Hanu wearable in daily life...4:45
-Data may indicate low stress resilience is a strong factor for sufferers of long COVID...12:30
-The real solution to stress is the intervention; the Hanu device provides real-time training in breathwork and techniques that increase stress resilience...14:40

-Solid advice about dealing with the hardships and pain of traumas: personal and collective...28:00
-Relinquish high levels of neuroticism to allow the breathwork to really work for you...32:45
Listener Q&A:
Kate asks: I've heard you say the ideal respiratory rate is 5-6 breaths per minute. My data from my Oura Ring is 17 breaths per minute. How do I practice breathwork or should I be working on HRV and heart rate?...40:45
In our answer, we discuss:
Replace the word "perfect" respiratory rate. There is no such thing as a perfect rate. Resonant rate for practicing is 4-6 breaths per minute. This is not the all day, every day breath rate. Increase cardio respiratory fitness and commit to breathwork and your breath rate will go down.Respiratory rate is just one factor. Tidal volume is an important consideration as well.There is a relationship between the BOLT score and the respiratory rate.Try taking a walk with your mouth closed. Respiratory rate in women is affected by hormonal changes with their menstrual cycles. Lower respiratory rate in the early days of menstruation, increased respiratory rate during ovulation. Women also have higher respiratory rates than men as a general rule.Jacob asks: In The Oxygen Advantage, you stated that you should take short breaths in and out before you hold your breath during the BOLT test. Is a short breath meaning your normal breath, or do you actually manipulate breathing prior to the hold?...53:50
In our answer, we discuss:
It is actually a normal breath. Patrick used that language in the book because he noticed when he would ask people to take a breath, they would take a big, deep breath. A funny story about BOLT scores from company employees who may have gotten a little competitive with one another.Fri, 04 Mar 2022 - 1h 01min - 22 - How Robert Slovak Narrowly Escaped Death by Rediscovering a Lost Sea Mineral, and How He's Revolutionizing the Water Industry Today!

-The Hanu Health device is primarily a daytime device. Intended to be worn through the day...08:40
-Increase level of self-awareness. Our physiology does not lie. We can try to convince ourselves out of stress, but the body really does keep the score.
-Our device offers real-time training for stress resilience and better self regulation making you more adaptive to stress...11:20
Questions from the Dr.
Question #1: What metrics are you tracking with Hanu and why, and how are you measuring them?...14:55
In my answer, I discuss:
Every measurement comes from physiological dataHRV, Heart Rate, and movement are the things our device will track.SRS: Stress Resiliency Score is an aggregate score to tell you how resilient you are to stress.We are looking at macro and micro changes in heart rate which are both useful indicators for measuring nervous system functioning.Movement is a key feature. Heart rate naturally responds to movement, so the software is sophisticated enough to capture movement factors as they relate to HRV.Data is always used self-comparatively rather than normative comparisons.HRV measurement is RMSSD for parasympathetic output or vagal flowYou will be able to toggle in and out of advanced mode to get some really dense data points on HRV.PPG sensor made by Skosh and Valencell. The most accurate sensor array for all skin tones.Question #2: What is resonance frequency and how is it assessed and used for training?...25:25
In my answer, I discuss:
There is no device on the market right now that measures resonance frequency.Dr. Lair, a Hanu Health advisor, coined the term "resonance frequency" and created the protocol for resonance training.Resonance frequency: The Hanu app takes you through a 12 minute assessment to find your unique resonant frequency rate.The Hanu device will pace you at your own breath rate that will auto populate through your assessment. This customization is awesome.Question #3: Are there times when it doesn't make sense to measure HRV?...33:25
In my answer, I discuss:
The answer is yes; as of now. There is no need for continuous HRV monitoring.Any type of hormetic stress will reduce in a reduction of heart rate variability. Exercise is a hormetic stress, so it's not an ideal time to measure HRV. It's more important to measure HRV pre and post exercise. Take a listen to the podcast I did with Marco Altini on Sports Performance and HRV to learn more about how HRV increases after Zone 2 training. Marco Altini Episode Times of excessive movement are not valuable times for HRV measurement.You have a modified HRV while you eat. It is usually lower, because there is a lot of energy expenditure when you eat. HRV is modified while talking. -Our technology will not penalize you for exercising, eating, or talking (because why should you be?). You can provide the input to the smart application for great HRV data.The Host

Jay is once again joined by breath expert, and author of The Oxygen Advantage Patrick McKeown to discuss the breath techniques, sports performance, using breath in yoga practice, and much more including answers to the most burning questions from our loyal listeners!
In this episode, you'll discover:
-2022 HAS to be the year of stress resilience...02:00
-How to use stress resiliency, HRV, and breathwork to improve sports performance...13:00
Listener Q&A:
Kristin asks: How important is it to engage in cyclical hyperventilation before athletic activity?...43:30
In our answer, we discuss:
Cyclical hyperventilation is risky before a big event because it can induce lightheadedness.If you choose to do it, make sure it is a part of your training, and not just something you try on the day of your big event.Meredith asks: What are some tips on how to integrate breathwork into yoga?...49:05
In our answer, we discuss:
Yoga has multiple components and breathwork is one of the foundations.Yoga has an enormous potential to adapt breathing exercises.Under-breathing during movement to increase circulation and increase blood flow to the brain. It can have a very calming effect.Exercises to target the biochemistry to have a better tolerance rate for CO2.Yoga is not just about movement, it is about mastery of the mind, which requires mastery of the breath.Patrick's next book is called Breathing Through Yoga. Some yoga instructors may instruct students to take fuller and deeper breaths, but this is not always good advice. The original intention for breath in yoga was subtle. Restraint over breathing.What you learn in yoga practice is transferrable into normal daily lives.What are you waiting for?

Listener Q&A:
Mike asks: How do I manage anxiety and comfortability while doing the breathe light to breathe right exercise?...21:20
In our answer, we discuss:
It is common for people with perfectionist tendencies to put forth too much effortOn one hand the practice creates air hunger which can trigger fight or flight, on the other hand the practice stimulates the body's relaxation systemThose with a BOLT score less than 12 or 13 seconds will feel a sense of air hunger all the time; they should increase their BOLT score before advancing to breathe light to breathe right"Passive volition" is engaging without trying too hard which keeps you in the pocket for relaxationWearables could cause stress for some people if the data causes stressHawthorne effect: we will change the way we act if we know we are under observation. Try to harness this for goodJay hopes people can utilize technology to become their own best tool for biofeedbackRobert asks: What are your thoughts on apnea tables? Is this something that would benefit the every day person or is it more exclusively for free divers?
In our answer, we discuss:
Jay's personal experience with apnea tables has been improved sleep and increased HRVBreathe holding is not appropriate for pregnant women or people with anxiety or panic disordersThe scientific reason for what causes people to let go is discomfort signals coming from the diaphragm going up to the brainWhat are you waiting for?

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 - 1h 10min - 4 - Powerful Attributes of Spirulina and Chlorella on Brain Health, Vitality and Longevity with Catharine Arnston
Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).
As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.
It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae. Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too.
In this discussion with Catharine Arnston, you'll discover:
-Why algae is so healthy and tragically overlooked in society...03:30
-Healthy and unhealthy algae...10:00
-Why Catharine is so high on spirulina...17:48
-How chlorella differs from spirulina, its benefits, drawbacks, etc...35:30
