Brain Fact Friday "Recovery Strategies to Build Resiliency Against Physical, Mental and Emotional Stressors"

<p>Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, for Brain Fact Friday and episode #135 on my biggest AHA moment from EPISODE #134 with Kristen Holmes, the VP of Performance Science of WHOOP<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a>, a wearable personal fitness and health coach that measures sleep, strain, and recovery.</p> <p><a href='https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/brain-fact-friday-using-recovery-to-become-resilient-to-physical-mental-and-emotional-stressors/'>To see the images in the show notes, and Andrea's Data, click here.</a></p> <p>In Today’s Brain Fact Friday You Will Learn:</p> <p>✔︎ How the wearable health tracker WHOOP measures recovery.</p> <p>✔︎ Why this data is useful for athletes, and humans in general, for mitigating physical, mental, and emotional stress.</p> <p>✔︎ Strategies to improve recovery and decrease physical and psychological stress.</p> <p>✔︎ See Andrea’s data and how she achieved her highest recovery rates using these strategies.</p> <p>✔︎ How you can measure your own recovery to improve performance and resiliency.</p> <p>Welcome back, I'm Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports, and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast, you will know that we’ve uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain.</p> <p>The purpose of this podcast is to bring the most current brain research to you, so you can make it applicable in your life whether you are a teacher in the classroom, or using these ideas to improve productivity and results in your workplace. As I am researching and learning new ideas, I’m also implementing them myself, and making connections to past speakers, so that we can all benefit from the research that is emerging in this new field of educational neuroscience.</p> <p>If you li
