Ben Greenfield: How to Improve HRV, Vagal Tone & Stress Resilience
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Resonance breathing is more effective than physiological sighs for nervous system regulation – practice slow, rhythmic breathing (typically 5-6 breaths per minute) to improve HRV and vagal tone.
- Reduce digital overstimulation – consciously limit smartphone use and cognitive overload to prevent nervous system disregulation.
- Prioritize physiological recovery – implement daily practices (like resonance breathing) to counteract chronic stress and improve sleep quality.
Notable Quotes
“We can’t think our way out of a disregulated nervous system”
“Resonance breathing is the next wave of therapeutics…going to make its way into mainstream”
Bottom Line
Practice resonance breathing daily (5-6 breaths per minute) and reduce digital overstimulation to build stress resilience and improve nervous system function.
