Is There a Best Diet for Ageing? HRV & Nervous System Resets

Is there really one best diet for healthy ageing? What does your HRV actually tell you about your health and recovery? And do we really need all these nervous system “resets” we keep seeing online?

This week, we unpack fascinating new research comparing 10 different healthy diets and why the results suggest there may be many ways to eat well as we age. We also explore what HRV can and can’t tell us, how the vagus nerve fits into the nervous system conversation and what actually helps our bodies recover from stress. Plus, the simple childhood experiences linked with greater wellbeing later in life, supermarkets changing how they define “healthy” food, and why perhaps we all need to stop trying to optimise quite so much.
