Using WHOOP

It's one thing to go and, like, have the product and. But to really understand what HRV is measuring, you know, and, like, this oscillation between parasympathetic and sympathetic and how you can change it and sunlight and, you know, being consistent in the times you go to bed, like, you know, all this stuff is like, very empowering.
