When the body breathes at the resonant breath rate of the body, which is generally five to seven breaths per minute.

What happens is there's the opportunity and indeed it happens, the breath and the heart pin to the same, they move in the same cycle.

So you breathe in, the heart rate goes up, and breathe out, the heart rate goes down.

What they do is they move in a coherent sinusoidal cycle.

The blood pressure's in the opposite trough.

The organs around the heart in train, and the brainwaves go to alpha.

So the system is this coherent, the whole integrated system.

The the whole integrated system. Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome to the Muscle Intelligence Podcast. I'm your host, Ben Polkowski.

And today we're going to talk to an incredibly special guest. Dr. Micra Hamilton and I are going to sit down in my office

and go through something called capnography,

which sounds terrible and annoying and probably really, really boring.

But actually, it's probably the most interesting thing that I've discovered in a really long time.

And it's because it seems to be the gateway into optimized performance

and optimized cognitive function. What's capnography? It's ultimately a test to determine the level

of carbon dioxide in your system. So Dr. Hamilton is going to explain what capnography is,

how it works, and the assessment that we're doing.

Now, I highly suggest if you haven't watched my podcast on YouTube, that you head over YouTube, subscribe, and actually watch this video because there's a lot of very visual cues.

If you hear somebody who's listening in the car, you're still going to get great information out of it, but you're going to notice that a lot of the stuff she talks about absolutely requires you to see what she's pointing to on a computer

so she she basically attached some electrodes to my finger to my traps and a canula into my nose and

just checked my breathing rate she had some she had a strap around my diaphragm to

determine how much expansion and contraction I was getting on my diaphragm. So she's getting all

these biometrics, biometric markers as to what was happening in my body and asked me to do a few
