Today's podcast is centered around the pillar that I believe holds the key to unlocking new levels of health and performance: the breath.  Breathing is a simple, foundational practice that is often overlooked in the world of high performance due to its simplicity. 

However, with practice, you can master these specific breathing techniques to revolutionize the way you train, recover, and, ultimately, conduct yourself in the world around you. This episode’s featured experts will give you the tools you need to optimize your breath and train your nervous system to perform at a higher level.

You'll hear from:

  • Dr. Andrew Huberman, on three deep rest protocols, and how they work at the level of the autonomic nervous system.
  • James Nestor, with the #1 game-changing, and often under-utilized, performance lever.
  • Brian Mackenzie, on the best practices to improve CO2 tolerance for athletic success, brain function and, life optimization.
  • Dr. Jay Wiles, with expert tips on how to calm the nervous system and recover better, so you can consistently perform at a peak state.
