LET'S FACE IT...

Increasing your performance takes time and dedication.

You have to put in the work; nobody will do it for you.

But what do elite athletes know that you can harness to work smarter and not just harder?

They use monitoring to know when to go hard and when to pull back.

Monitoring with heart rate variability (HRV) is the fastest, non-invasive way to understand how your body is responding to stress from both training and lifestyle.

Too little stress from training, and you are leaving performance on the table.

Too much stress, and your performance will suffer.

. . . and worst case, performance may stagnate and even go backwards resulting in illness or injury.

This course will teach you how to use HRV once per day to reach new levels of performance and heath.

. . . all while mitgating the downsides.

"Just wanted to say thanks for the HRV course! It was fantastic - well done!"

in the HRV Education course, you will learn why, how, & when to use the power of hrv to hit your goals. . . all with less effort in your training.

I started studying hrv back in 2010…

That’s right. HRV was a big part of my PhD thesis.

This was waaaaay back before there were any apps to measure HRV. I had to get subjects to come to the lab multiple times, hooked them to $10,000 worth of used equipment, custom write MATLAB code and then import the cleaned RR intervals into KUBIOS software...

...all to get a single HRV reading.

Fast forward to the advancement of apps like ithlete, and I could monitor all my athletes remotely for a fraction of the cost.

The downside was that I had to stumble my way through using the data to figure out - over much trial and error - what are the best methods to apply it to their training and lifestyle.

Over the past decade plus, I've reviewed thousand of data points on HRV and given lectures about HRV all over the world.

I've distillled all of this into this course.

Now you can learn from all my first hand research - and mistakes - to fast track your results.

what others say about dr Mike

My mind is blown on a near-weekly basis.....

Dr Mike combines both research and real world experience.  I have seen so much progress over the past year it has been amazing.  I am breaking both strength and endurance PRs. Thanks again for everything you have done for me over the past year and I am looking forward to what this next year brings!

Dr. Mike T. Nelson has put in a great deal of time and effort to not only push forward the evidence base in the field of metabolic flexibility, but also to help translate this complex scientific knowledge into practical applications that actually help individuals, athletes, and coaches make meaningful improvements.

Dr. Mike T. Nelson is one of my go-to guys for applied physiology, which is particularly impressive considering that he always seems to be kiteboarding and must have ears full of blood from his taste in gym music.

  • You’re a trainer/coach who wants to help your clients learn about their daily stress and its impact on their health and performance.

  • You want to take your own training to the next level by using HRV to monitor your stress to know when to push and when to back off.

  • You're confused about all the random information on the internet about HRV and finally want to understand it with a complete system from a true expert who has both published research on HRV and used it on athletes for almost a decade.

Your presentation was by far the best of the NSCA weekend. So thanks for crossing the 49th parallel.

I am stoked to be using HRV for my athletic population going forward. Thank you

More than 2 years of CrossFit, and I could barely pull myself up on the bar. I honestly thought I would never be able to do a strict pull-up from full extension. After working with Dr. Mike T Nelson and changing my programming, I can easily do several strict pull-ups in a row! I highly recommend you check his work.

Coach, Trainer, Mom

Well, I basically took your advise from out call, especially the HRV info. I ran with it – literally!!!

I increased my sleep, I ate a bit of carbs and protein before and after my higher intensity workouts.

I got in more low intensity workouts. Because of your feedback I really was more at ease with everything I was doing.

My trainer was super impressed with my progress.

I have increased energy all the way around and my performance is up during my workouts.

I’m loosing weight and gaining muscle. I feel great.

I pulled out my chest strap for morning HRV readings too.

I am so so SOO thankful!

It’s been a game changer. 3 months from now – I probably will be in my right size body, and I can start those other performance goals for the Tri race next year!

With deep respect and thankfulness!

Right now, it is 4.5 hours total without the last 4 bonus items. That may change a bit as I am constantly adding and subtracting to different areas.

Are you offering the course again?

My plan is to open enrollment 2 times a year, similar to the Flex Diet Cert. Keep in mind that next time the course will be more expensive, and my plan is to slowly raise the price over time.

Do I have to complete the course within a certain amount of time?

Nope, you have lifetime access to it, and you can go at your own pace.

How long have you been using HRV with your own clients?

I’ve incorporated the use of HRV into my online M3 clients programs for over 8 years now. It is actually a requirement that I use HRV with every client as I find it invaluable.

What if I have questions as I go through the course?

You will get my private email to ask me any questions about the course material. Keep in mind that I will not be able to do this forever =) . . . and I am going to limit the number of people allowed to enroll this round so that I can answer your questions.
