Simplicity. Effective. 27 point reduction in Systolic.
I have had this app for years, I have tried others, and I currently subscribe to Calm. Calm offers stories and gabby sessions, which haven’t calmed me down effectively, so I switch to soft music on it. This app is simple: no agenda other than calming the nervous system. It feeds into my Welltory app, which then tells me how effective a session was on my HR and HRV. I take my blood pressure daily when I wake up. Today the OMRON gave 143/68 with average Heart Rate of 46. That was higher than usual (and I am being evaluated for possible bp medication). So I tried a session of “At Ease”, which took 8 minutes. It did relax me. I took my bp again: 116/63 with HR 46. That was a 27-point reduction in Systolic! That motivates me to work consistently with this app so I can achieve a more zen-like state and give my cardio system a break. Thank you! I have the entire set, which had a small fee compared to other options. I heartily recommend!
