Deep Dive into Heart Rate Variability with Greg Elliott
04/14/23 • 63 min
Hello and welcome to the Health Upgrade Podcast!
I am honored to have this wonderful conversation with the master of HRV - heart rate variability, Greg Elliot. Greg is an exercise physiologist, kinesiologist and osteopathic practitioner who has worked with various hospitals, universities, clinics, fitness facilities and sports teams in Canada, the USA and around the world. He completed his Master of Science in Exercise Science at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and is passionate about teaching and learning about latest improvements in the field of exercise science, active rehab and manual therapy.
In today’s episode we will have a very significant discussion on heart rate variability. The HRV is a measurement tool that we use to check how our vagus nerve and other autonomic nerves are functioning. We will talk about the multiple ways of measuring heart rate variability and how we can contextualize and utilize the HRV data to positively impact our overall health specially for people that have various chronic conditions and chronic diseases. We will also touch into incorporating vagus nerve stimulation on heart rate variability. When the vagus nerve is stimulated there is an increase of parasympathetic, reducing inflammation through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway which then increases the complexity of HRV.

Vagus Nerve Effects on Bone Health and Osteoporosis
Hi everyone! Welcome to another episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast.
Today, our focus will be centered on bone health, where we will delve deep into the intricate mechanisms of bone health and explore the challenges that lead to bone density loss or bone mineral loss. Our bones consist of three different types of cells - osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, which work in perfect harmony to maintain bone homeostasis. Moreover, the involvement of the nervous system and autonomic nervous system also plays a crucial role in bone health, regulating the structure and bone function.
Osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent conditions that arise when the overall health of our bones is less than optimal. This condition is characterized by a decrease in estrogen levels, leading to a higher risk of bone mineral loss. The presence of sympathetic activation on the autonomic nervous system and an increase in inflammation further exacerbate this condition, increasing the risk of cardiovascular issues, heart attacks, and atherosclerosis.
In this episode, we will also touch upon the significance of nutrient deficiencies such as calcium and magnesium in improving bone density. So, if you are interested in upgrading your overall bone health, join us now and listen to this exciting episode!

Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Repair featuring Sterling Cooley
Welcome to another episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast.
In today’s episode, we had an awesome conversation with the well-known “Vagus Nerve” guy, Sterling Cooley. Sterling Cooley is the CEO & Founder at Vagus Nerve Stimulation & Repair Program. Where he currently works on activating the Parasympathetic Central Vagal Nervous system using direct to consumer Vagus Nerve stimulation technology. Sterling is also a consultant for leaders and managers of fast growing, and innovative companies across many industries. He has personally overseen clinical neuroscience studies in the treatment of many diverse disorders of the human brain.
In today’s episode, Sterling will share his story on how he and his team found that pulsed ultrasound when used in the vagus nerve is a powerful and transformative therapy for individuals all around the world. We will also discuss how sleep and dreams assess whether the vagus nerve stimulation is working. Sleep is very much a parasympathetic state and when you are stimulated it induces you in this state. So, the healthier your vagus nerve is, the more it will give you the benefit of deeper sleep and vivid dreams. Which enhances your ability to wake up with so much more alertness and so much more cognitive functioning optimized due to being in the parasympathetic state.
