Health does not come from going to the Drs. office. It’s not generated in the room with the Dr.
No matter how good they are, that is not how you become healthy.
It's mind-blowing people feel 1x a year health check-up & an all-clear actually makes them a 'healthy person'

Why founders should care about REM sleep 📢
Emotional regulation, memory processing & the ability to learn is paramount in any start-up.
It's tempting as a founder to convince myself I can cheat sleep. The reality is more REM = Patrick is a better CEO

Unfortunately it's still the case that smaller countries with a higher than average average income are more efficient at using taxes to deliver value to the public. Somehow we haven't figured out how to scale public organizations while maintaining the capital efficiency.

4 mistakes you’re making when interpreting your HRV:
1) You think a *constantly* high HRV is a good thing
Reality:
Short-term stressors can be beneficial.
Think strength training, tearing muscle to build back bigger.

My solution? Having a wind-down routine. Quite the luxury as a start-up CEO I hear you say.
10m reading offline + 10m journal + 10m writing down highest impact task for tomorrow + 10m deep rest yoga Nidra meditation.
= 40 mins. Net result: restorative sleep. Better performance

HRV varies a lot between people. The absolute number is only valuable when compared to your OWN baseline.
