HRV and Organic Acids Testing: Summary
In this podcast episode, Marek Doyle, a functional nutritional therapist with 19 years of experience, shares his extensive insights into holistic health and personalized therapies. Marek combines his expertise in nutrition with breathwork and works both in-person and online with clients and practitioners. He emphasizes a personalized approach to health, focusing on the unique needs of each individual rather than generalized treatments. This perspective aligns closely with the beliefs of FDN and serves as a foundation for many of the concepts discussed throughout the episode, such as enteric healing states and the nuances of HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and organic acids testing.
Marek’s journey into health and nutrition originated from his own bout with insomnia, catalyzed by a moldy living environment and spinal injuries, which spurred him into deeper exploration of individual-based health solutions when traditional methods failed him personally. This led to his interest in the underlying causes of non-responsiveness to conventional treatments and the significance of identifying personalized health requirements.
A significant portion of the conversation centers around Marek’s approach to utilizing HRV and organic acids testing, particularly in complex chronic cases. He emphasizes the predictive power of these tools in understanding and addressing the unique metabolic and nervous system needs of each client, providing concrete examples and specific markers that highlight the value of these tests. The discussion also touches on the necessity of proper test interpretation, which goes beyond lab numbers to provide actionable insights that can dramatically improve patient outcomes.
