Peptides Made My HRV Tank!
New video explaining why
“Peptides crushed my HRV!”
“I just started peptides and I can’t sleep!”
“Why is my resting heart rate up when I start my first round of peptides?”
Thanks to the amazing feedback from my readers and viewers, I noticed this was becoming a common theme among first-time peptide users.
I racked my brain on it for a while and finally started to notice what was happening.
And the results may surprise you…
In today’s video, I explain why peptides might be messing with your wearable scores – and why that’s not always bad!
If you use peptides and notice your sleep or HRV tanking, this could be the answer you’re looking for.
Don’t panic—there are reasons this happens, and I'll explain the ‘why’ and how to adapt.
Here’s a quick summary of what you’ll learn by watching the video:
Why your HRV and sleep scores might drop when starting peptides.
How peptides, especially those for fat loss or muscle building, increase metabolism and temporarily mess with your body’s natural rhythms.
The effects of increased nervous system activity and heightened metabolism on HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep quality.
Why mineral depletion (think magnesium, potassium, sodium, and calcium) is a big deal when you’re on peptides and how to adjust for it.
How long it typically takes for your body to adapt and for your scores to normalize.
