Module 6 Reflections

This module was absolutely fascinating to me. Though I will need to continue to review my notes and study the details about the various testing, what they do, and how they can offer individualized insight into our physiology, I feel like I have a much broader understanding of how these technologies can really help empower us to make the lifestyle changes needed to live a healthy, thriving life.

Before I write my module 6 reflections, I have some questions around RMR and VO2 Max testing. I have never tested either on myself, and would really like to. Would one test these at a physical therapy facility? I really don't think there is anything like Physiology First in my nearby area!

Reflections:

The relationship between psychological and physiological health are one and the same. Every symptom has a physiological root, including outcomes such as chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, and mood "disorders". All of these non-optimal states can be transformed into optimal states if we invest our time and curiosity into learning about our physiology through the various technologies we have available to us such as VO2 max testing and RMR. We can also make massive improvements in our health through simply tracking our HRV, optimizing our sleeping habits, learning to manage our stress, and continuing to stay curious about what our physiology is trying to tell us.
