Why Is Your Resting Heart Rate Creeping Up? What It Reveals About Stress

from The Wellness Rhythm Show

Emma Sullivan and David Park explore why your resting heart rate has been creeping upward over months or years—and what that actually means about your stress levels and nervous system. You'll learn how to accurately track this metric, why even small increases matter medically, and the evidence-backed interventions (sleep, zone 2 aerobic exercise, and breathing techniques) that can bring it back down. The episode cuts through health anxiety to focus on practical, measurable awareness rather than alarm.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
