Salim Najjar: The Secret Language of You...

Aggie Lal
About this episode

What if understanding your heart’s rhythm could unlock your full potential? In this episode of Biohacking Bestie, I sit down with my dear friend Salim Najjar, also known as That HRV Guy, to break down the fascinating world of heart rate variability (HRV) and how it holds the key to managing stress, healing trauma, and reaching new levels of wellness.


Salim takes us through his personal journey—starting as a biohacking entrepreneur who pushed his body to the brink, only to discover that true health is found in the balance between doing and being. We dive into the science behind HRV, why it’s the most important health metric no one is talking about, and how you can start tuning into the language of your heart to transform your life.


Salim is a pioneer in the HRV space, blending cutting-edge biohacking with ancient wisdom to help people regulate their nervous systems, clear trauma, and thrive. This episode is packed with emotional insights and practical takeaways to help you shift from surviving to truly living.


Listen as we explore…

(02:12) What HRV Really Is and Why It’s the Core of Biohacking

(05:40) How Trauma Gets Stuck in the Body and Impacts Your Health

(12:15) Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic: Understanding Your Nervous System’s Two Modes

(20:00) Salim’s Radical Health Transformation: From Hustle to Harmony

(27:30) How Your Mindset and Thoughts Are Directly Linked to Your HRV

(38:10) Why Sleep, Breath, and Emotional Resilience are Non-Negotiables

(47:55) Simple Practices to Improve Your HRV and Restore Balance


… and so much more!
