The Mind Muscle Connection Resting Heart Rate, Alcohol and HRV/RHR, How to Speed Up Recovery and more w. Dr Peter Tierney | Ep 721
Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!
In today’s episode, Dr. Peter Tierney joins me to talk about Resting Heart Rate, Alcohol and HRV/RHR, How to Speed Up Recovery. Dr Peter is a sports scientist and performance coach who has worked in elite rugby, football (soccer), and endurance sport, blending real-world coaching with applied data and research.
We dig into recovery, stress load, resting heart rate, HRV, caffeine, alcohol, and what actually moves the needle. We talk about why you need to measure stress before you talk about recovery, how to use individual baselines instead of chasing perfect scores, and why not every “bad” wearable reading is actually a problem.
If you want to recover smarter, perform better, and stop overthinking every metric, this is a must listen!
