Breathing? Don't we just do that naturally? The answer is yes. However, that passive mentality towards breathing has probably led to more harm than good. Nick Hair, returns for part 2 to enlighten us on a topic we overlook everyday. But, it is one foundational of life itself and perhaps the key to improving the quality of our lives.

In this Episode we cover:

  • The importance of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide, and how bastardizing CO2 has led us down the wrong path...
  • The physiological changes that each breathing style elicit and why one vs. the other might be beneficial
  • The neurological changes that each breathing style elicit and how breathing through your nose might be the step in the right direction towards fighting your high stress lifestyle
  • How to assess our ability to tolerate CO2, a marker on the state of our respiration or breathing
  • Simple ways to start improving the way you breath today
  • and more!
