HRV Explained Like Never Before: The #1 Mistake People Make When Reading HRV | Ep37

⚡️ Feeling drained? Your nervous system is trying to tell you something.

In this week’s episode of the 90% Healthy Podcast, Klaudia & Don unpack the real science behind Heart Rate Variability (HRV) — your body’s internal “battery gauge” that reveals how resilient you truly are.

Klaudia shares how she survived 16-hour days at a Saudi longevity summit using vagus nerve stimulation, while Don explains why HRV isn’t a stress score — it’s your capacity to handle stress.

Here’s what you’ll learn 👇

✅ What HRV actually measures — and why it may predict healthspan better than blood tests

💧 How hydration, sleep & breathwork increase HRV instantly

💓 The #1 mistake people make when reading their HRV

📈 Why laughter & human connection boost your numbers

🧘 The link between vagus nerve health & longevity

⚙️ The best wearables and apps for tracking HRV, including free options

The Fuel Source You're Missing to Improve Your Sleep & HRV | Ep 34

You probably think you've tried everything to improve your sleep and nervous system recovery.

Better mattresses. Sleep supplements. More exercise. Meditation.

But there's ONE fuel source your body needs that almost nobody is using. And without it, you'll keep hitting a ceiling on your sleep quality and HRV improvements.

In this episode, we show you the missing piece. The fuel source that athletes, military special forces, and now Don Moxley are using to crack the code on sleep and nervous system resilience. And how you can access it without changing your diet or fasting.

What You'll Learn:

  • What ketones are and why they're different from carbs, fats, and protein
  • Why ketone energy is "cleaner" for your body (less aging at the cellular level)
  • How exogenous ketones (supplements you drink) give your brain and nervous system premium fuel
  • The study showing ketones improve sleep quality and REM sleep specifically
  • Why the 3am wake-up happens and how ketones prevent it
  • Don's personal HRV data: What he measured, how it changed, and what it means
  • The three types of ketone supplements and why most aren't worth your money
  • Who should actually consider trying this (hint: athletes, poor sleepers, stressed professionals)
  • Real talk: When ketones help and when they won't solve your problem

This episode is for you if:

  • You track sleep or recovery and want to optimize it
  • You're tired of waking up groggy despite sleeping enough
  • You're curious about biohacking but want the practical truth, not hype
  • You've heard about ketones but had no idea what they actually do
  • You want to understand how your nervous system recovery works


Klaudia Balogh and Don Moxley dive into the science with real data, real protocols, and honest discussion about what actually works versus what's just trendy.

The Shocking Benefits of Red Light Therapy Nobody Told You About | Sarah Turner | Ep31

Red light therapy is more than a skin hack. In this evidence-led interview, neuroscientist Sarah Turner explains how specific wavelengths (esp. 850nm near-infrared) can structure cellular water, fuel mitochondria, and modulate the gut–brain axis—with implications for brain fog, mood, sleep, TBI recovery, and microbiome health. We also separate real photobiomodulation from expensive placebo panels.

What we investigate:

  • Structured water: Why light can turn intracellular water into a “battery” near hydrophilic surfaces

  • Mitochondria: How light targets cytochrome c oxidase to boost ATP (and when “more” backfires)

  • Gut–Brain axis: Using light on the gut to lower neuroinflammation via vagus nerve signaling

  • Microbiome: Early data showing light can normalize dysbiotic profiles (what’s real vs rodent-only)

  • Wavelengths that matter: 630/850/940/1070nm—penetration, heating, and when panels mislead

  • Dosing: Biphasic dose response, 10 minutes daily, why the brain requires low power

  • Safety & scams: Skin contact vs “glow shots,” reputable specs, and heat risks most ignore

Why Chugging a Gallon of Water Will Not Keep You Hydrated

Are you walking around dehydrated—or worse, overhydrated? In this episode of the 90% Healthy Podcast, Klaudia Balogh and Don Moxley unpack the truth about hydration, electrolytes, and magnesium—and why “just drink more water” isn’t the whole story.

How SuperAgers Keep Their Brains Young (Backed by 25 Years of Research)

What if you could be 85 and think like you’re 55?

This week on the 90% Healthy Podcast, Klaudia and Don dive into the fascinating science of SuperAgers — people in their 80s whose brains function decades younger.

We break down the 25-year Northwestern study on SuperAgers and explore:

  • Why resilience (not just optimization) is the key to aging well

  • How stress can strengthen the brain instead of breaking it

  • The role of mitochondria in keeping neurons firing like you’re younger

  • The overlooked importance of social fitness in longevity

SuperAgers don’t rely on fancy tech or hacks — they build resilience through simple, consistent habits that keep the mind, body, and spirit sharp.

👉 Comment and let us know: Do you know a SuperAger in your life?

The Human Energy Crisis You Didn’t See Coming: How to Reclaim Your Power & Avoid Burnout | Ep25

Most of us think managing our energy means more coffee, more supplements, or taking a day off — but the truth is, rest isn’t always recovery.

In this episode, Klaudia and Don talk with Jessica Corbin, founder of SORCE, about energetic literacy — the skill of reading and responding to your body’s readiness signals using HRV and self-awareness. Jessica reveals why burnout is so common, the hidden design flaws in our work and training systems, and how small daily shifts can keep you in your peak zone longer.

You’ll learn:

  • Why more effort isn’t always more results

  • How to use push, maintain, and recover phases for better performance

  • The surprising role of boundaries in boosting energy

  • How to tell if you’re maladapting instead of adapting

  • Why organizations and athletes need the same energy frameworks

Perfect for athletes, leaders, and anyone tired of running on empty.

Can Saying No Be the Ultimate Longevity Hack We’re All Missing?

What if the best biohack… is what you stop doing?In this episode, Klaudia and Don sit down with Sandy Martin, biohacker, wellness event producer, and author of Biohacking Starts with No. Sandy shares her powerful story of overcoming mold toxicity, challenging her doctor's advice, and learning that sometimes it's not about how big your supplement stack is or how many devices are in your drawer, but rather how the real biohack is saying no.This conversation with Sandy Martin completely redefined what “health optimization” looks like when everything else fails. She was told she had a traumatic brain injury. It was mold.Here’s what we get into:- Why the best biohack might be elimination, not addition

- How mold hijacked Sandy’s brain, and how she fought back

- Humming to raise your HRV (yes, humming)

- Why most people are stuck in sympathetic overdrive, and don’t even know it

- The problem of generalized solutions for individual problems

The Best Diet to Follow While Taking GLP-1 Medications, New Study Reveals (EP 21)

If you're using GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide, but not sure how to eat while on them, this episode breaks it down.

We cover a new ⁠study⁠ published in Nature comparing a low-calorie diet vs. a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet in people taking tirzepatide. The results: one group lost more fat but kept more muscle. Spoiler: it wasn’t the low-calorie group.

We discuss:- Why protein and strength training are essential with GLP-1s

- How ketones play a role in fat loss and muscle retention

- Why these drugs should be a kickstart, not a shortcut

- We also dive into vagus nerve health, ketone monitoring, and the bigger picture of healthspan, not just weight loss.

Link to the study: ⁠https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11990520/⁠


Klaudia and Don also touch on life purpose, resilience, and how both of those tie back to optimizing health without falling into perfection traps.
