The ability to manage and recover from stress is crucial for resiliency and cognitive, medical, mental, and social health. Burnout is the enemy of productivity, creativity, and overall business success. Until recently, it was difficult for leaders to get reliable data on people's ability to perform at their best and understand levels of burnout within the business. The Heart(beat) of Business presents the science behind peak performance and how stress and burnout destroy people's health and devastate business outcomes.

Due to recent technological advancements, a leader can use a biometric called heart rate variability (HRV) to get daily, weekly, and monthly data on the health and wellness of their workforce. HRV data provides leaders with an understanding of the capacity their people have to perform at their best.

The Heart(beat) of Business gives leaders and businesses a roadmap for implementing and using biometric data to measure and address burnout. It also provides a set of best-practice strategies using HRV data to improve cognitive, medical, mental, and social health crucial for business success.

If your business relies on people for success, becoming an early adopter of HRV will help you create a business environment that outperforms any competition.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) for Chiropractors is a simple guide for Chiropractors and other health professionals to use to begin understanding HRV. It covers everything from the science of HRV, to the general interpretation of HRV and all the way to applying HRV in practice.

HRV is the most important biometric for health care professionals to be tracking and it is now readily available in in-expensive and convenient ways. Pick up this guide and get to serving your patients at the highest level.

Learn how to stop snoring and eliminate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) naturally in 90 days. Dr. David Hopper is a published researcher on the conservative resolution of obstructive sleep apnea. In practice, he helps people find the root cause of their snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and eliminates it by attacking it with his 5-pillared program. This program is completely natural, safe for everyone to do, and very inexpensive to participate in. All that is required is a willingness to change. Join the group that is ditching their continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines and finding natural freedom from snoring and OSA.
