HRV Testing Bespoke Nutrition & Sports Enhancement
Mitochondrial Therapy ® is the name of Sheri Dixon’s personal practice. It was created in March 2010 by Sheri Dixon, innovated by the work of MuDr. Michael Kucera. It is a health system guided by HRV testing that is designed to improve energy-yielding metabolism in the body, general health, resilience and performance.
A consultation includes a heart rate variability (HRV) test over a period of just 5 minutes. The test is non-invasive and performed whilst relaxing in a chair. HRV testing does not diagnose any medical conditions.
As part of our programme, we often also recommend unique diet supplements that help to support various functions in the body with a view to improving health, resilience and performance.
Resting Heart Rate Variability (HRV)—the beat-to-beat alteration in heart rate when the body is at rest—is a well-established biomarker that offers critical insight into the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Specifically, HRV reflects how well your body manages and recovers from stress. As a result, it has become a key indicator in evaluating physical and mental resilience. By measuring your HRV, practitioners can determine how balanced your ANS is and whether it is functioning optimally or under strain.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is sometimes referred to as the ‘master regulator of metabolism’. It is the part of the nervous system that controls, largely unconsciously, the function of internal organs and glands as well as many involuntary behaviours.
The three key branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are the sympathetic nervous system, sometimes referred to as the ‘fight or flight’ system, the parasympathetic or ‘rest and digest’ system and the enteric nervous system, the mesh-like system of neurons that regulates the gastrointestinal tract, sometimes referred to as the ‘second brain’.
We offer information, appointments, International seminars and presentations, practice development and support, team building, sports enhancement, and bespoke diet design.
Sheri Dixon is a registered nutritional therapy consultant with thirty years of experience in practice. She has taught nutritional courses to health and sports professionals, based on individual biochemistry, since 2001.
MuDr. Kucera M.D is a Czech medical doctor specialising in mitochondrial and anti-ageing medicine. He is dedicated to detecting, improving, and restoring the state of health of the organism. He is interested in improving the function of the autonomic nervous system in order to maintain the ideal internal environment and to improve individual capacity to respond and adapt to internal and external stress of any origin.
