You may have heard me say that I view breath as the greatest performance opportunity that exists…
But most high achievers aren’t taking advantage of it - and the only reason why is simply because they don’t know how to use it…
Today on the Muscle Intelligence Podcast, I’ve compiled some of the most highly actionable advice from leading experts on breathwork, performance, and nervous system function.
Dr. Justin Feinstein, Juliet and Kelly Starret, and Erwan le Corre join me today for a masterclass on efficient breathing for metabolism, energy production, and stress management. I’ve also included a short segment from a training I delivered to a group of top-performing executives.
You’ll learn techniques to optimize your breathing for maximal performance AND simple tricks to make breath practice more accessible in daily life.
You'll learn:
How to Breathe to Optimize Energy Levels
The MOST Common Breathing Problem and How to Fix it
How to Use Deliberate Breath Holds for Performance
The BIGGEST Levers to Control your Nervous System
Tools to Access the Prefrontal Cortex for Better Decision-Making
