AT A GLANCE
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) orchestrates the symphony of our body's involuntary functions, including heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, blood sugar and fat regulation, response to challenges of all types, and more, acting as the pivotal regulator between our body's internal environment and the external world.
Measuring and maintaining optimal ANS function is paramount for holistic well-being and vitality, as it underpins our ability to adapt to stress of all types, whether exercise or illness, and maintain homeostasis. Advanced insights into ANS metrics can unveil early signs of imbalance or dysregulation, offering a proactive approach to health care and well-being. By prioritizing the monitoring of ANS function, individuals and health professionals can tailor wellness strategies that enhance resilience, optimize performance, and pre-empt chronic conditions.
This Lab guides you through the most thorough yet practical assessment and trending of ANS function available to you today, and it’s available to you 24-7 within our V-Metrics system. Better still, we guide you through the most effective lifestyle habits to restore and improve it within our partner Labs: Health Creation is State Management; Breathwork; Mini Vacations & Meditation; Peace, Ease & Harmony; Worry, Fear & Anxiousness and StateCheck.

HEALTH SCENE INVESTIGATION
- Will the ability to quantitatively measure and trend biomarkers of ANS performance, resiliency, and homeostatic capacity lead you to realize that you can track and improve in this critical area, and motivate you to do so?
- Will providing expert guidance on how to improve ANS function and gamifying the process, lead to changes in your understandings and support new life habits which improve your mood, function, vitality, and well-being?
- Will you pay more attention to lowering your risk to premature aging and preventable chronic illness when you are able to benchmark and trend the key biomarkers?
HYPOTHESIS
We cannot improve on what we do not know. We cannot know what we do not measure. To understand what we measure more effectively, we are best to trend it over time.
As we age we generally experience declines in autonomic function. These declines can be slowed and even reversed where declines have not been too severe and protracted already. Being able to readily measure, trend and practice habits that restore ANS function will lead you to pay attention and become more effective in preserving your vitality and functional capacities.
