What was said
"One of the squadrons went dry. They didn't drink for a month. They just didn't drink for a month. Everyone slept better. Everyone performed better. They won the monthly Olympics. Their heart rate variabilities changed. What did we pull out? We just pulled out this coping strategy."
Kelly Starrett reveals that when a Delta Force squadron stopped drinking alcohol for one month, it was the only intervention that significantly improved heart rate variability and recovery metrics, outperforming all technology and biohacking interventions. The unit won their monthly competition, demonstrating that removing alcohol had greater performance impact than adding any enhancement.
