Shownotes

What do elite athletes, military personnel, and Fortune 100 executives have in common? How can heart rate variability help people perform under pressure? And what does the next generation of biofeedback look like?

In this episode, Dr. Saul Rosenthal talks with Dr. Jay Wiles, licensed clinical and performance psychologist and Chief Health and Performance Officer at Ohm Health. Jay recently presented an NRBS webinar, discussing his work with high performers, the psychology behind elite performance, and how biofeedback can move beyond simply measuring physiology to actively improving self-regulation.

The conversation explores several emerging topics in applied psychophysiology, including the stability of resonance frequency breathing, the use of HRV coefficient of variation (HRV-CV) as a marker of autonomic nervous system stability, and the strengths and limitations of consumer wearables. Jay also describes the thinking behind the new Ohm biofeedback device and shares practical advice for clinicians who want to improve patient adherence to biofeedback training.
