Notes on feeling better.
Short, practical pieces on sleep, training, food and recovery, written by the people building Wave. Evidence where it exists, plain words throughout, and never a diagnosis.

Sleep, training, food, recovery.
The same four currents the app reads, written up one at a time.
Your resting heart rate is the most honest number you own
One beat a minute, measured the same way each morning, tells you more about last night and this week than any streak or step count.
Sleep regularity beats sleep duration, and your body keeps score
Eight hours at a different time every night does less for you than seven at the same one. Why the clock matters more than the count.
Protein per kilo, and why almost everyone undershoots
The one nutrition target that pays off whatever your goal is, how to set it for your body, and how to hit it without living on chicken.
Zone 2: the boring cardio that moves your Wave Age
Slow, steady, conversational effort builds the engine everything else runs on. What it is, how much you need, and why it counts.
Water: the number nobody tracks and everybody feels
Mild dehydration shows up as tiredness, a foggy afternoon and a higher heart rate long before thirst. How much you need and how to know.
Ten minutes of morning light sets the whole day
The cheapest thing you can do for your sleep happens before breakfast and outdoors. Why daylight matters, and how to get enough of it.
HRV: the number that goes up when you take care of yourself
Heart-rate variability is the closest thing to a daily readout of how recovered you are. What it is, why yours is yours, and how to move it.
Eight thousand steps, and why the round number was never science
Ten thousand came from a 1960s pedometer campaign. The research points somewhere lower and more forgiving, and the gains come early.
Strength training after forty is not optional
Muscle leaves quietly from your mid-thirties on, and it takes strength, balance and metabolism with it. Two sessions a week turn it around.
What two drinks do to a night of sleep, in the numbers
Alcohol helps you fall asleep and then takes the second half of the night back. The record shows it clearly, and the fix is about timing.
Fiber is the other protein
Most people get half of what they need. It steadies blood sugar, feeds the gut, and does more for how full you feel than anything except protein.
What a Wave Age is, and what it is not
One number for how your body is aging, built from labs and lifestyle, and honest about the difference between an estimate and a fact.
Read it, then measure it.
Every piece here ends up as a number in the app. Join the list and see your own.
