Follow these three steps to unlock your unique stress score with your Apple Watch and iPhone!
What's your HRV score?
If you have an Apple Watch and an iPhone, you can see this score in seconds.
Grab your iPhone and let's get to work!
In this webinar we will cover
Step 1. Open your iPhone.
If you have an Apple Watch, open your iPhone.
Step 2. Locate the "Apple Health App"
Use the app search to locate the Apple Health App (white box with red heart). See image above.
Step 3. Find "Heart Rate Variability"
Open the "Apple Health App" and click "select all data" to find "Heart Rate Variability" not to be confused with Heart Rate. Click and see your data!
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of the variation in time between consecutive heartbeats, reflecting the autonomic nervous system's balance and adaptability.
A higher HRV reading, associated with the parasympathetic system, indicates a peaceful and powerful state of relaxation and recovery, which is beneficial. Conversely, a lower HRV reading, linked to the sympathetic system, signifies a stress state, suggesting that there is room for improvement in managing stress and enhancing well-being.
​
For example, if you see a reading taken at 12:07 pm and it is a higher score, you can rest assured that you are in a more relaxed, parasympathetic state. Conversely, if the reading is lower (let's say in the 30s or below), it indicates a sympathetic, stress state, highlighting moments where stress management can be improved.
​
While it is known that a lower heart rate is better, HRV is the opposite. The higher the better and indication of your ability to adapt to stress.
