This episode is a deep dive into physiology, sleep science, and the hidden systems shaping how we breathe.

We cover:

Why your body is basically a walking engine producing CO₂

The real mechanism behind sleep apnea

Why two people with the same BMI can have totally different breathing

How body fat distribution affects airway function

The surprising connection between ketosis and breathing improvements

The study showing ketogenic diets improved CO₂ clearance in certain patients

Whether exogenous ketones could affect sleep and breathing

Why sleep science is still full of mysteries doctors can’t yet explain

Dr. Jun also shares what research he’d run if he had unlimited funding — and the answer could change how we treat respiratory disorders.

If you’re interested in sleep, metabolism, health optimization, or physiology, this conversation will change how you think about breathing.
