My wife learned to do this because she was bored in class as a kid.

Can I? Not very well. Can people do it? Yes they can!

Yes! I can also manually change my heart rate, release cramping muscles, and feel a number of my internal organs through muscle contractions.
This isn’t really a point of brag, I’m just neurodivergent with serious body dismorphia so I had to do a lot to become comfortable in this meat suit.
I think the secret to that revolves around being a little neurospicy. Not that I want anyone to have to be in the hospital hooked to a heart monitor but If you ever are play with it but don’t make it alarm too much. It turns out I could lower my heart rate below what the machine considered acceptable.
It’s a nice little party trick too. When iphones could first detect heart rates, some of my friends were talking about it, so I said that I could slow my heart rate down. None of them believed me, so I got them to measure it. Once it was done I asked them if they wanted it to be faster or slower. They still didn’t believe me, so I did both.
It’s one of those silly little things that isn’t really useful, but can shut your friends up for a bit :p
Oh it’s definitely gotta be because of that. My current record for heart rate is 46bpm before I start to feel faint!
Next Dwight Schrute can also teach you to raise and lower your cholesterol levels.
not quickly, but give me a sauna and twenty minutes… sure
Is your wife Dennis?
Yes. Which astonishes my wife again and again when she has cold feet in bed. I then have to ramp up my leg temperature again - I ramp extremities temperatures down for the night.
Yes, I thought it’s genetically because my father told me this life hack (good for getting fever in examination situations, you didn’t study for), Realized later it has maybe something to do with height. Everyone over 184cm (idk how much this is in american cheeseburgers) should be able to do this trick. Source: trust me bro. I forget where my knowledge came from.
Harder for me to raise it than lower it, but I do a version of this every night before bed. “None of these thoughts can’t be picked up tomorrow, everything is made better by getting sleep right now, so no further thoughts allowed.” Can usually drop it to near sleep bpm.
I can cool right down by being still, when it’s hot.
Can’t do the inverse though, when it’s cold I’m just cold.
not only that, but I can control the speed at which my heart beats and can induce adrenalin at will.
I don’t do it anymore though due to heart health from my age.
No, not directly.
Thats not a thing … probably
Edit~ glad I added probably
Actually, it is! You can generate heat by physical activity or intense thinking, and you can lower it by sleeping but also through calming yourself and breath control. There’ve been studies about monks who have learned to do this, but anyone can do it through enough practice (or you could just work out or sleep, those are the easy ways).

Bio-regulation is a thing but not like what OP is hinting at.
I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t witnessed her do it yesterday and felt her body temperature change. I didn’t know people were capable of that.
