We explore how functional breathing—light, slow, deep nasal breaths at rest—improves energy, stability, sleep, and confidence, and how simple breath training supports aging well. Tiger Bye shares research-backed tools that translate from the gym to daily life and help turn reactivity into choice.

• Defining functional breathing versus breath work
• Why nasal breathing conserves energy and calms the nervous system
• Diaphragm recruitment for spinal stability and movement confidence
• VO2 max, longevity, and breath training carryover
• Simple starting drills for walks, lifting, and sleep
• Building CO2 tolerance without fear of air hunger
• Using breath to shift from reacting to responding
