In fact, when our heart rate or brain wave variability decreases, or becomes MORE linear, then this is a sign of overtraining, sickness (or even a pre-cursor...
You may be on a diet, a path, a journey which is serving you well at the moment. If it is based on a fixed idea or model it will eventually of course come to a point that it won’t work. It will falter. There ultimately is conflict between any fixed model and actual reality,...
