00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Well, hello ladies and gents, 
Robert Sykes, Keto savage.com 

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,440
and today I've got special guest
Niraj Naik on the line and we 

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,560
dive deep into breath work, how 
to manipulate it, how to do some

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,080
breath work practices to make 
the most of oxygenating 

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,000
yourselves, leveraging CO2, 
switching from sympathetic to 

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,880
parasympathetic at will based 
off of how you are breathing a 

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,640
different breath work practices.
So very interesting 

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,200
conversation, thoroughly enjoyed
it. 

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,120
I've got no doubt that you'll 
have some takeaways from this 

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,120
one. 
Without further delay, sit back,

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,760
relax and enjoy the 
conversation. 

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,800
And we are live. 
Niraj, How are you, Sir? 

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,560
Fantastic, my friend. 
I'm excited to be chatting with 

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,600
you. 
I've had several people on the 

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,920
guest and we've all kind of 
known that the importance of 

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,840
like oxygen and breathing is 
obviously very vital to our 

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,280
livelihood in existence. 
But you are a master with all 

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,160
things proper optimized breath 
work. 

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600
So this is something that I 
definitely need to work on 

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,160
because I am guilty, as I'm sure
most of us are, of just living a

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,000
very hurried life and not taking
time to just simply breathe. 

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,040
So I'm excited to to peel the 
curtain back on that man and 

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,360
just learn from you. 
Yeah, or not breathe. 

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,600
So actually the paradigm shift 
that I'm going to share with you

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,600
is that actually breathing less 
is better than breathing more. 

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,560
And there's a whole science that
I can explain the mechanism of 

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,880
to support that very kind of 
counter intuitive claim that 

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,680
I've just made. 
I, I like counter intuitive, 

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,880
controversial things man. 
So I definitely want to put the 

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,240
curtain back on the science 
there. 

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,800
What, what guy's seen the breath
work in the 1st place? 

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,120
What was the catalyst for you 
going down that rabbit hole? 

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,000
Yeah, so it's actually something
that happened by accident. 

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,840
It's not like it was something I
was searching for. 

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,600
It happened because I actually 
had quite barrel within the 

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,480
system as in the corporate world
as a pharmacist trying to get my

37
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,280
kind of renegade ideas out to 
the masses. 

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,880
And I'd actually got very 
successful getting people off 

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,960
medication using very similar 
kind of diet plan to what you're

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,640
talking about, but more like 
focus on first step as just stop

41
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,880
eating processed foods that come
in boxes, go on a non factory 

42
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,880
diet. 
That's what I'd call it. 

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,040
And just teaching people how to 
actually make their own food 

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,000
again. 
Right. 

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,400
So, so I, I felt like as a 
pharmacist, I had a very 

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320
important place, you know, 
because people would trust 

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,840
everything I said. 
And often they wouldn't have 

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,800
time for the doctor and the 
doctor doesn't have much 

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,440
knowledge when it comes to 
lifestyle changes and 

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,240
interventions like food and 
diet, believe it or not. 

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,320
So I got really good at that, 
but it actually got me promoted 

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,960
to the head office of one of the
biggest supermarket chains to do

53
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:04,880
a very like, could have been a 
high impact, very powerful 

54
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,720
project with them, which is a 
healthy shopping list service, 

55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,560
which would get customized meals
directly sent to people's homes,

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,520
you know, through their home 
shopping platform. 

57
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,560
And then six months into it, 
they decided to shelve the idea.

58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:27,560
And I, I had a real crush to my 
soul and my purpose. 

59
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,240
And I was just confused. 
I was like, why? 

60
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760
And I was facing having to go 
back to my cubicle job as a 

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,320
pharmacist and the stress and 
everything, the impacts and the 

62
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,800
tension and all that just 
exploded. 

63
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Well, I kind of had a, you know,
a serious existential crisis 

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,160
ended up boom getting hit with a
autoimmune disease was 

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,480
ulcerative colitis. 
You may be familiar with that. 

66
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,480
And I was now housebound 
basically shedding blood for 

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,800
almost a year. 
And this was where I learnt like

68
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,720
the true, you know, mechanisms 
of getting healthy. 

69
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,040
And because none of the 
medications worked, the, I was 

70
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,840
facing 2 choices, either be 
Guinea pig for a drug hasn't 

71
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,560
been tested or I have my colon 
removed. 

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,560
So I was only like 32 at the 
time. 

73
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,000
So, you know, wearing a nappy 
and having a colostomy bag 

74
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,480
wasn't what I really wanted. 
And I had actually surrendered 

75
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,840
to the whole medical system. 
I thought, you know, I basically

76
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,760
given up hope for myself. 
I'd lost my purpose in life, my 

77
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,160
faith in God. 
Especially when you're suffering

78
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,960
like I was, I've you're spending
like 40-50 times a day on the 

79
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640
toilet, you know, that's, it's 
really horrible symptoms. 

80
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,600
So, you know, it's kind of like 
you're shitting yourself, you 

81
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760
know, it's like fear manifest, 
you know. 

82
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:54,840
So luckily someone came to the 
rescue, a yoga teacher in the UK

83
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:58,080
called Swami Amakananda. 
She said to me, look, actually 

84
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,720
you've got a gift here. 
If you can turn this around with

85
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,120
your tenacity and passion to 
help people, you could become an

86
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,600
amazing role model, an example 
for others by reversing the 

87
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,600
situation. 
And it gave me like a hope back.

88
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,600
So I had to let go of my 
disbelief because I'm very 

89
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,520
scientifically programmed and to
suddenly take up this woo woo 

90
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,480
type stuff, which is actually 
for my own culture. 

91
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,840
But we're so educated out of it,
as, you know, as first second 

92
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:33,600
generation Indian immigrants to 
the UK, we, we don't think that 

93
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,760
things that come from India are 
considered cool back then, you 

94
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,560
know, now we all know the 
benefits of this stuff. 

95
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,080
So anyway, she told me some 
simple breathing techniques and 

96
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,320
the the the results were so 
profound just to just to stress 

97
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,720
release and the pain relief that
I got from just simple rhythmic 

98
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,040
breathing, extending exhalation,
holding your breath in various 

99
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760
ways was mind blowing. 
I couldn't believe it. 

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,320
So I was like, you know, my 
curious mind throwing down the 

101
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,720
rabbit hole to learn as much as 
I could about this amazing 

102
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,880
wealth of knowledge and wisdom 
we have from India. 

103
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,880
So I went really deep into the 
brilliant techniques Pranayama 

104
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,280
and really studied that. 
I discovered an amazing medical 

105
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,720
doctor in the UK in so in India 
called Prakash Mahesh, who 

106
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,960
actually then ended up becoming 
one of my teachers. 

107
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,080
And then we Co created the 
curriculum for Soma Breath. 

108
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,480
And what I also went and fell 
back in love with was the music 

109
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,040
because I used to hear music was
I used to run raves in the UK. 

110
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,320
I became a pharmacist when I was
at university. 

111
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,000
I had a massive rave actually 
for two 2000 people every month 

112
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,280
for three years. 
It was epic. 

113
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,840
And that's what I thought I was 
going to do. 

114
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:46,400
Actually, I thought that's what 
I was going to do. 

115
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,360
But something inside me also. 
Well Mike, I've learnt now. 

116
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,160
You know your soul will choose a
different path if you're not 

117
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,720
aligned with the path you're on,
right? 

118
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,440
It will do something. 
It will give you a disease or it

119
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,920
will self sabotage or something 
until you you get in line right 

120
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,240
with what you really want to do.
And I realised that music back 

121
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,720
then I was making and all that, 
it was great. 

122
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,960
We're bringing people together, 
celebrating life, but it was 

123
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,960
very hedonistic. 
It was creating a crazy culture 

124
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,080
of a lot of people getting off 
their heads every weekend. 

125
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,760
And, you know, I love the music,
but the lifestyle that came with

126
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,440
it, not so much. 
And you know, I couldn't handle 

127
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,040
it. 
You know, growing up, getting 

128
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,400
into my 20s and beyond, like 
hardcore raving was what my 

129
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,720
escape. 
But that also took its toll on 

130
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000
me, right? 
So what I realised that music 

131
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,760
actually has a spiritual purpose
and it's been around for 

132
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,280
thousands of years, you know, 
hidden away in, in these like 

133
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,640
Vedic texts as a method of 
transformation. 

134
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:52,000
And there's entire books 
dedicated to music and it's 

135
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,480
called some of yoga, a whole 
system of using music 

136
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,400
therapeutically. 
So I started to really 

137
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,280
experiment with that and decided
to combine the breathing 

138
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,160
techniques because a lot of 
breathing techniques involve 

139
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,720
rhythms, rhythm of breathing 
that invokes certain effects on 

140
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,400
the body. 
So I, I went deep into that and 

141
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,320
started to make my own therapy 
for myself for reprogramming the

142
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,320
unconscious mind. 
Because I also learnt that 

143
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,320
mantra is a form of self 
hypnosis, reprogramming the 

144
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,680
operating system, the mind that 
gets corrupted with Thor 

145
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,800
viruses. 
And there's those Thor viruses 

146
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,160
that cause negative beliefs, 
limiting beliefs and you know, 

147
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,640
bad habits that cause disease in
the 1st place. 

148
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,679
So boom, I found a way to 
reprogram myself that worked 

149
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,360
super good. 
And and then I started sharing 

150
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,760
it. 
And so I was uploaded onto 

151
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,760
YouTube, got really cool 
results. 

152
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,080
People were like asking me for 
more. 

153
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,920
And then I went really deep into
figuring out how, how can I get 

154
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,920
this out there to the to the 
mainstream to get it to people. 

155
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,520
And I started to build a in my 
own like online platform that 

156
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,760
took off. 
And along the way I met Wim Hof,

157
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,920
became his right hand man for a 
bit and he was like, this is the

158
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,160
front man. 
This is the guy and I actually 

159
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,360
end up producing the soundtrack 
to the Wim Hof method that you 

160
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,680
can hear on his YouTube channel 
and courses. 

161
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,920
And then I I wanted to go deeper
into the whole pharmacy of 

162
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,480
techniques that Pranayama has 
and put music and and science to

163
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,840
those things. 
So me and Prakash Marsh joined 

164
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,560
forces, created a curriculum to 
some of breath, started off in 

165
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,520
this amazing island that I was 
living on now in Copenhagen in 

166
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,880
Thailand, where with a bunch of 
mates, we got together and built

167
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,880
the Soma Breath school, which 
then over the last like six 

168
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,840
years or so has really scaled 
into an amazing transformational

169
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,320
school where music is a core 
part of it with over 3 1/2 

170
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,040
thousand instructors growing 
fast. 

171
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,880
And now I'm like attracting 
amazing people like yourself and

172
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,520
working with other kind of 
known, you know, like 

173
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,240
influencers in the space, people
like Asim Malhotra that you've 

174
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,680
heard of who's big proponent of 
also, you know, the keto diet 

175
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,760
and, and breath work and and so 
on. 

176
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,000
So yeah, amazing stuff is 
happening now because I've 

177
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,840
chosen the right path rather 
than the wrong path. 

178
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,160
But what I realized was I was in
the wrong system. 

179
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,200
You know, the corporate system 
is not where I belonged. 

180
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,280
I'm a bit more renegade than 
that. 

181
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000
And, and that's why we're 
talking to each other right now.

182
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,480
I love. 
It and I love it. 

183
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,800
So going back from the beginning
when you started to have all 

184
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,680
these issues flaring up and it 
was manifesting in the ulcer, 

185
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:35,640
colitis, colitis, you think that
was predominantly because of the

186
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,440
stress and anxiety and 
depression that you were 

187
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,920
experiencing with all the mishap
from a career standpoint, Like 

188
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,520
there wasn't any type of, you 
probably didn't have your diet 

189
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,640
dialed in perfectly prior to 
that, but that probably wasn't 

190
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,640
the main catalyst. 
It was more so the stress 

191
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,960
induced. 
I think, yeah, I think what that

192
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,800
does is it leads you to to 
create bad habits and make bad 

193
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,840
decisions. 
So it wasn't just the career, it

194
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,240
was relationships. 
They're all linked, right? 

195
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,000
It's like a domino effect. 
One thing stresses you out like 

196
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800
severely, and then that knocks 
on to everything else in your 

197
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,800
life. 
So, you know, my like actual 

198
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
lifestyle choices have got 
better. 

199
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,440
Like I because I was now going 
to be the face of health of this

200
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:27,600
big corporation, but I also had 
years of abuse right from being 

201
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:33,800
a raver. 
So when you get a stress impact,

202
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,800
it becomes like a ticking time 
bomb and boom, it can manifest 

203
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,640
as disease if you're weak in 
certain areas of the body. 

204
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,640
Like for me it's the colon. 
And also according the Ayurvedic

205
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,760
system, it shows that my energy 
type, which is known as Vata 

206
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,720
Pitta, it's combination, we're 
more prone to colon issues, 

207
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,480
especially ulcers in the colon 
under severe stressful 

208
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,040
situations. 
That's where the disease will 

209
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,240
more likely manifest. 
So I figured all this stuff out 

210
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,680
and, and a lot of it's down to 
your environment, like who 

211
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:06,800
you're surrounding yourself 
with. 

212
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640
If you're in the wrong 
environment, your body will kind

213
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,280
of do something to shift you out
of that environment. 

214
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,520
Whether you make a conscious 
decision to change your soul, if

215
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,200
you don't listen to that, we 
will make that change and it 

216
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,920
will give you a disease. 
It will make you self sabotage 

217
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,200
or do something that makes you 
change your course of direction.

218
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,200
And if you keep ignoring that, 
it gets worse and worse and 

219
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,560
worse. 
And a lot of people do that 

220
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,720
because they mask the symptoms 
with substances, with alcohol, 

221
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,160
with drugs, with prescription 
medications, with comfort food 

222
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,840
and comfort eating, right? 
So I was indirectly doing all 

223
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,000
that. 
And it was, you know, that one 

224
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:52,040
hit, that one big kick in the 
gut, literally from this big 

225
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,040
corporation that set me off, 
right? 

226
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,160
And so it's like a chain 
reaction. 

227
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,720
But a lot of this will affect 
right stress, how you breathe, 

228
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,120
bringing it back to breathing 
and how you breathe is very much

229
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,840
linked to your how you think, 
right? 

230
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,720
Your thinking and breathing is 
linked. 

231
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Your breath is the mirror of the
mind. 

232
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,040
So if you're like a stressed out
person, if you're like frantic, 

233
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,040
if you even if you're overly 
excited, your fight or flight 

234
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,880
mode is switched on, right? 
It's on adrenaline's pumping, 

235
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,400
going through your system. 
Even if you're extremely 

236
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,680
enthusiastic and high on life, 
if you don't know how to control

237
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:36,200
your breath consciously, you 
sometimes develop bad breathing 

238
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,120
habits like mouth breathing, and
you'll over breathe and 

239
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,600
hyperventilate. 
And a lot of people suffer from 

240
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,560
what I call probably the biggest
disease in the world, chronic 

241
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,600
mild hyperventilation, which is 
something that's totally 

242
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,440
overloads and people don't fully
understand it. 

243
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,960
But I've gone really deep into 
this. 

244
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,520
And what that means is you get 
less oxygen to your body tissue 

245
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,440
cells, not more, when you 
hyperventilate, even if there's 

246
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,000
a mild form of hyperventilation 
where you may be talking like I 

247
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,080
am for long periods of time 
throughout the day, which I was 

248
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,760
for many years as a pharmacist, 
rushing, rushing, rushing, you 

249
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,360
know, talking, talking, talking.
And also you're not conscious 

250
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,800
anymore. 
You're, you're an autopilot in a

251
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,640
stress mode. 
And there you start to breathe 

252
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,560
in a faster rate than you 
normally should or would. 

253
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,640
And if you don't have time to 
recalibrate the breath, you'll 

254
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,040
start to get low oxygenation of 
your body tissue cells and you 

255
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,760
get vasoconstriction. 
You know, there's a lot of 

256
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,400
people suffer from hypertension 
because of this. 

257
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,960
And if you learn how to slow 
your breathing down, you will 

258
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,480
actually get more oxygen going 
to your body tissue cells, not 

259
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,560
more. 
There's a mechanism I can 

260
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,200
explain to you why that is and 
why the entire system of yoga, 

261
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,040
meditation even, and pranayama 
is all geared up and design 

262
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,280
actually for one core result, 
right? 

263
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Which is a beginning of 
enlightenment. 

264
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,240
And that is becoming super 
efficient using oxygen. 

265
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,120
We hardly need to breathe 
because oxygen, my friend, is 

266
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,960
something we have a toxic 
codependent relationship with. 

267
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,480
It's something that we can't 
live with and we can't live 

268
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,160
without, right? 
Because it causes oxidative 

269
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,720
stress. 
Every time you produce energy in

270
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,720
the body, you're crying a little
bit of stress, you're aging a 

271
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,040
little bit. 
So everyone listen to this right

272
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,160
now. 
You're aging a little bit as you

273
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,720
breathe, unfortunately. 
So the yogis developed systems 

274
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,560
that train you to be so 
efficient and using oxygen, you 

275
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,600
hardly need to breathe while 
your breath rate slows right 

276
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,200
down. 
And they use meditation 

277
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,920
techniques as well to slow your 
breathing right down. 

278
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,080
This actually then makes you 
more adapted to low oxygen, 

279
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,800
which then means your body 
becomes more efficient using 

280
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,880
oxygen and you get less oxygen 
stress and you get better body 

281
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,200
tissue oxidation. 
And this prevents you from 

282
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,080
getting these sorts of diseases 
I'm talking about in the long 

283
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,440
term If you, if you train like 
this. 

284
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,600
So this is what we teach in 
summer breath. 

285
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,880
We, we actually teach the system
of becoming super oxygen 

286
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,320
efficient by giving you 
techniques that trains you to 

287
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,800
become really efficient using 
oxygen in the body through your 

288
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,320
mitochondria. 
And then what it does is it 

289
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,160
overall, you'll find a 
slowering, a lowering of your 

290
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,920
breathing rate and a long and 
ability to hold your breath for 

291
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,600
longer periods of time. 
That's one of the signs that 

292
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,800
you're becoming oxygen 
efficient. 

293
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,600
If you can hold your breath for 
a certain length of time and 

294
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,320
beyond. 
And what it also does is it 

295
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,680
raises one of the most important
gas in the body, CO2, which 

296
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,120
we've been told is this toxic 
gas that must be let go of at 

297
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,040
all costs, right? 
Or it's causing, you know, the 

298
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,400
climate change and we're all 
going to die because the tumors 

299
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,760
seem to, right? 
I mean, that's a whole other 

300
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,840
story we can go into later and 
some other time. 

301
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,680
But I have to tell you that 
carbon dioxide is your friend. 

302
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,240
It really is. 
It is the way you get oxygen 

303
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,440
from your red blood cells into 
your body tissue cells through a

304
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:14,839
process called the bore effect. 
And if this, if this mechanism 

305
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:17,960
is disrupted by 
hyperventilation, because that 

306
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,359
means you let go of the CO2, you
get rid of too much CO2 because 

307
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,000
every time you breathe out, you 
breathe out CO2, you will get 

308
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,560
less oxygen into your cells. 
And this leads to all the 

309
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,560
problems I'm talking about. 
I. 

310
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,880
Definitely want to dive into the
science for, for you as having 

311
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,360
gone through, you know, the 
academic rigors involved in 

312
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,680
becoming a pharmacist. 
Like you said yourself, you're 

313
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,400
much more science driven. 
It's kind of you get you get the

314
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,960
analytical background. 
I, I do as well, like my, my 

315
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,480
family all are scientists. 
So like this sounds Boo, as you 

316
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,800
said in the beginning, at what 
point you, you kind of like 

317
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,000
we're at rock bottom with the 
physical manifestation of the 

318
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,040
colitis, But at what point or at
what instance did you realize 

319
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,600
that the breath work was the the
limiting factor like the game 

320
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,920
changing component? 
So, so that was through the 

321
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,560
techniques that my swami told 
me. 

322
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,960
So she told me these reduced 
breathing techniques and also 

323
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,400
breath holding techniques and 
these reduced breathing 

324
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,080
techniques and also rhythmic 
breathing. 

325
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:25,400
I mean, there's one thing I need
to add is the way we can change 

326
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,480
our physiological state. 
So from sympathetic or 

327
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,120
parasympathetic, just with 
breathing with a rhythm where 

328
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,040
you're extending your 
exhalation, like doubling your 

329
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,160
excel time, breathing in for 
four beats out for 8 beats, for 

330
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,320
example, over and over. 
What that will do is it switches

331
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,280
on the parasympathetic puts you 
into rest and digest. 

332
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Well, digest is incorrect to say
that, but it puts you into a 

333
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,720
rest rejuvenation mode, OK. 
And that allows you to to switch

334
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,080
off stress for a moment, OK, and
helps you get into a trance like

335
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,720
state as well where you can use 
guided meditation techniques to 

336
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,400
start reprogramming the autonomy
nervous system. 

337
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,720
Because remember, autoimmune is 
your healthy cells, your immune 

338
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,760
cells attacking the healthy 
cells thinking that they're 

339
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,440
foreign invaders. 
Now, here's the thing, if you go

340
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,920
back from back in the, you know,
evolutionary times back to when 

341
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,280
we were single cell organisms in
the in the sea, those cells 

342
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,880
decided one day instead of 
fighting with each other, to 

343
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,160
collaborate with each other and 
to create a colony of cells, 

344
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,480
which then became the first 
multicellular life forms. 

345
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,480
They came together based on 
trust, love, connection, 

346
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,320
collaboration, right. 
Then those cells multiplied and 

347
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,560
became eventually through, you 
know, evolution us, OK, or maybe

348
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,120
there was some interfering 
through aliens or whatever, who 

349
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:53,640
knows. 
But we eventually evolved into 

350
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,760
who we are. 
So our cells are actually 

351
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,000
connected based on love. 
That's the real connection 

352
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,840
that's based on now autoimmune 
disease is a malfunction in this

353
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,320
intelligence that we have where 
your immune system thinks 

354
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,320
healthy cells are, are evil 
cells that must be killed, 

355
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,000
right? 
This is what causes the disease 

356
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,760
symptoms. 
So what we're doing with with 

357
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,760
this is we're with these guided 
meditation techniques and the 

358
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,560
breath, the breath is using 
helping you to rewire and get 

359
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,200
into a a more like kind of 
theatre brain wave state where 

360
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,080
you can now communicate the 
unconscious mind and tell it 

361
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,560
tell it that everything's OK 
because your environment is what

362
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,520
you become. 
So if you're in a hostile 

363
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,800
environment like a corporate 
head office, I don't know if 

364
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,760
you've ever worked in one, but 
they're like the most hostile 

365
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,520
environments. 
Everyone's out to get each 

366
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,840
other. 
You know, there's so much 

367
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,400
competition and so much cut 
throat behaviour in there. 

368
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,640
Me very sensitive person don't 
belong in that environment, 

369
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,520
right? 
So, you know, all of this added 

370
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,640
together with the distrust of 
the pharmaceutical system and 

371
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,040
the medical system and the loss 
of hope for humanity and seeing 

372
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,200
what was going on in the world, 
that really disturbed me through

373
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,280
the eyes of the lens of the 
corporate head office. 

374
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,360
I was not in the right place, 
the right environment. 

375
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:21,160
So part of the healing is to 
kind of reframe past events. 

376
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:30,840
So guilt, shame, anger, fear 
needs to be kind of rewired and 

377
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:34,800
transformed, transmuted into the
opposite. 

378
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,280
And that is where healing comes 
from. 

379
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,200
But these slow rhythmic 
breathing techniques also gets 

380
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,960
oxygen back into the body tissue
cells. 

381
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,360
And because stress will cause 
contraction and tension and it's

382
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:47,760
going to reduce blood flow as 
well. 

383
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,000
When you start to breathe in 
these general rhythms, you start

384
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,400
to harmonise the biorhythms in 
the body because every function 

385
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,480
in your body is rhythmic in 
nature, right? 

386
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,400
And they're subservient to the 
rhythm of your breath. 

387
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,320
Your breathing patterns really 
affects your physiological 

388
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,840
functions, so this rhythmic 
breathing is really good for 

389
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,560
your body anyway. 
But then when you combine it 

390
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,200
with a certain pattern that 
switches off stress, that helps 

391
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,360
you to really relax and get into
these trance states where you 

392
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:19,680
can reprogram yourself. 
And so the music also helps with

393
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,720
that because the music has a 
groove to it. 

394
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,160
So when you breathe in a rhythm,
breathe in in beats is what I 

395
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,400
call it, you can really get into
these amazing flow states just 

396
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,760
with the breath. 
It's like a amazing guided 

397
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,080
meditation. 
And then the guided meditation I

398
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,000
record over the top, I call it 
neurasomatic programming. 

399
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,040
Now is a way of it's like an 
NLP, but you're bringing the 

400
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,760
body into it and the breath is 
the bridge between the mind and 

401
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,800
the body. 
And it allows you to start to 

402
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,920
reprogram yourself. 
Like imagine you're an operating

403
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,160
system and it gets thought 
viruses over time, you can, you 

404
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,880
can reformat this. 
So this is what I kind of delve 

405
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,360
into. 
And what I'm explaining now is 

406
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:01,520
thousands of years of wisdom 
from ancient India. 

407
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,320
It's it's the it's from 
Buddhism, it's from Tantra, it's

408
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,440
from Pranayama yoga. 
All of these schools, these 

409
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,120
ancient schools, these actually 
they're science based, in my 

410
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:15,440
opinion, are all reprogramming 
tools. 

411
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,520
They're all about discovering 
who you are. 

412
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,240
How do you end up where you are 
now? 

413
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,560
And to change, you can go in 
there and change the the very 

414
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,360
apps that are installed in your 
mind, your mind Ware to in 

415
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:30,880
alignment with what you truly 
want. 

416
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,760
And this is the process of I 
would say waking up. 

417
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,560
Enlightenment, you know, is 
another word for that. 

418
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,120
But it's everyone has the 
ability to do this. 

419
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:42,320
And you know, you've seen the 
power of hypnotherapy. 

420
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,040
It works really well. 
The reason why is because it's 

421
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,880
the same process, but with a 
breath, you can actually speed 

422
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,440
up this process of reprogramming
and it can happen very fast. 

423
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,680
We've even done studies with 
Cambridge University now with my

424
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,080
protocols I've developed which 
showed like how powerful this 

425
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,280
breath techniques are in 
comparison to psychedelics. 

426
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,800
They used to treat severe 
depression, like I, I had severe

427
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,080
depression at the time. 
So psychedelics has a great use 

428
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,320
of this because it gets you into
these auto states of 

429
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,000
consciousness that allows you to
reprogram, right. 

430
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,600
And you know, I've also had 
another scientist called Jeff 

431
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,280
Taran who did one that showed 
how we quiet the default mode 

432
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,240
network, which is the brain's 
version of the ego through these

433
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,600
breath retention techniques, 
holding the breath. 

434
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,560
Also Cambridge showed that the 
breath holds is where a lot of 

435
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,720
the magic happens with this 
breath therapy form of therapy. 

436
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:39,960
And and so a lot of what we 
teach is all about increasing 

437
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,560
your breath hole capacity 
because this is what is the 

438
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,000
measure of you become 
efficiently using oxygen. 

439
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,600
And and that method is the you 
mentioned a few times, I may be 

440
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,080
misprinted the the par pariana 
or is that what it's called? 

441
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,680
Pranayama. 
Pranayama. 

442
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,000
And what is that like? 
If someone you know googles 

443
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,280
that, what's what's the 
Webster's definition of that? 

444
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:04,880
So pranayama simply means prana 
means energy, yama means 

445
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,760
control. 
And it's the first branch of 

446
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,200
yoga. 
It's like it's the one of the 

447
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,920
most important things you do 
first in yoga, right? 

448
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,640
It's kind of been forgotten a 
bit in mainstream yoga, but it's

449
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,280
the very important part. 
And it's actually a pharmacy of 

450
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,240
different techniques you master.
It gives you the ability to 

451
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,000
manipulate energy in the body. 
And remember, energy is produced

452
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,840
by oxygen coming into your body,
combining with glucose and 

453
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,800
burning like a combustion engine
in your mitochondria to produce 

454
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,080
ATP, life force energy which 
drives all the functional life. 

455
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,480
So breathing has something to do
with every function of your 

456
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,560
life. 
So with Pranayama, you have the 

457
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,480
ability to consciously control 
things you thought you had no 

458
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,400
control over, like your heart 
rate, your blood pressure, 

459
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:52,360
digestive system, your immune 
system even and your way you 

460
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,760
produce energy and you can 
become very efficient using 

461
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,560
oxygen with pranayama 
techniques. 

462
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:03,360
So pranayama is a little bit 
mystified in the whole yogic 

463
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,320
literature and stuff. 
So we've demystified it like my,

464
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,680
the, the Doctor Who works with 
me in, in India, he is an 

465
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,360
incredible like Yogi, but also 
knows how to translate Sanskrit.

466
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:21,320
So he an amazing translation of 
the ancient original texts. 

467
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,720
And through that, we reverse 
engineered the whole system of 

468
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,920
pranayama, which is incredible. 
There's so many techniques for 

469
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,960
different things. 
You think of all the things you 

470
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,080
go to a pharmacy for, there's a 
pranayama technique for that as 

471
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,760
well, right? 
So this is what I wanted to 

472
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,240
bring to the world because I 
believe prevention's better than

473
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,920
cure, right? 
And the more we could do to 

474
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,640
prevent having to go on the 
pills, the better. 

475
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,680
Because there's a pill for every
eel, right? 

476
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,160
But there's also an eel 
following every pill. 

477
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,920
That's the problem. 
The side effects. 

478
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,160
I saw it everyday, people 
getting on one medication a few 

479
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,680
weeks later or another one, 
another one. 

480
00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:59,160
So that's why I'm on such a 
mission right now to get people 

481
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,120
to not get on to that cycle, 
that vicious cycle. 

482
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,840
Because medical bills are 
insane, right? 

483
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,760
They can bankrupt someone and 
there's so much we can do. 

484
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,400
Like, you know, changing the 
diet. 

485
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:14,360
Not everyone has to go full on 
kheyo, but it does help for 

486
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:18,680
certain diet, certain issues, 
certain conditions, for sure. 

487
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,160
There's all the evidence out 
there. 

488
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:23,920
And yeah. 
And so I'm very committed to 

489
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,800
bring Pranayama to the world in 
a way that's accessible, fun, 

490
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,800
but also scientific that you can
trust to get the result you're 

491
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,320
looking for. 
Yeah, and I definitely dive into

492
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,320
the the tactics here. 
So like I am a big proponent 

493
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:40,080
for, you know, returning to the 
parasympathetic states whenever 

494
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,160
possible. 
Like when I train, like I try 

495
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,600
and wake up and before I look at
my phone, before I look at 

496
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,320
distraction to try and just do 
some, you know, mindfulness 

497
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,040
practices, prayer, breathing 
outside, ideally after I get 

498
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,920
done weight training in the 
morning, I allow myself to kind 

499
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,600
of, you know, stretch out, 
return to normal breathing 

500
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,480
before I, you know, consume a 
meal or anything like that. 

501
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,440
But I am the worst when it comes
to consistently, you know, 

502
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,840
journaling or meditating or 
using like a mindfulness app. 

503
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,920
Like I've, I've downloaded them 
all, I've played around with 

504
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,680
them, but then I, I never stick 
with it. 

505
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,640
I never adhere to it, but I feel
like if I was able to commit 

506
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,960
something and then tangibly 
experience the benefits in short

507
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,200
order, I would be compelled to, 
you know, obviously adhere to it

508
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,240
long term. 
So for somebody that's going 

509
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,520
through life and they are what 
they would benefit from this as 

510
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,080
most people would, how does that
look like? 

511
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,080
What are some very tangible 
takeaways? 

512
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,960
Somebody listen to this could 
start implementing and actually 

513
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,680
experience the benefit from on 
the short term. 

514
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,320
OK, so so we teach I, I have a 
section on our app, the summer 

515
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,240
breath app called Breath Farmer.
And on there there's a lot of 

516
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,960
useful breathing techniques. 
So I'll give you one example 

517
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,560
very quick one easy one you can 
do if you've got a blocked nose 

518
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,160
or if you've got stuffy 
congestion. 

519
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,320
I have a little baby door and 
she's always giving us stuff 

520
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,920
these days because she's out 
there playing with all the kids.

521
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,440
So sometimes I get a little bit 
congestion. 

522
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,280
So what I do in that situation, 
you can try this right now if 

523
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,600
you want. 
It'll it'll give you a little 

524
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,920
kind of wake up too, as if you 
breathe in through your nose, 

525
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,720
breathe out through your nose, 
hold your nose right and hold 

526
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,880
your breath and just nod your 
head up and down, right. 

527
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,520
And you do that until you can't 
hold your breath any longer. 

528
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,000
I really do. 
It's your maximum effort. 

529
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,600
And then repeat that two or 
three times right in a row or 

530
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,800
your congestion will go away all
clear and you're suddenly as a 

531
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,600
breathe again. 
So breathe through my. 

532
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,840
Nose out to my nose once. 
In through your nose, out 

533
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,560
through your nose. 
Hold your nose like pinch it 

534
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,760
with your fingers. 
Hold your breath until you go to

535
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,720
your maximum breath hold 
capacity. 

536
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,120
And then do it again and again, 
at least two or three times, and

537
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,960
then you'll see everything 
clears up. 

538
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,760
You want to try it now? 
Sure. 

539
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,520
Sure, maybe a little silence on 
the the the court recording 

540
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,480
here, but yeah, I'll give it a 
shot. 

541
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,360
OK, makes. 
Me realize I need to be able to 

542
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,800
hold my breath for longer. 
What? 

543
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,160
How long? 
How long do you think people 

544
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,880
should realistically be able to 
do that? 

545
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,160
As they're pinched, their nose 
will hold their breath like a 

546
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,320
minute's hold between each 
session. 

547
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,360
No. 
When? 

548
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,440
Maybe some people will do a 
minute, but people just starting

549
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,280
out might be more like 30 
seconds. 

550
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,240
Yeah, but 30 to 40 seconds. 
But how did you get on? 

551
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,040
No, that's good as in about 
30-40 seconds. 

552
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,600
Yeah, I wasn't congested to 
begin with. 

553
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,080
But I feel like if if I get 
congested, especially as the 

554
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,560
seasons are changing here, being
able to do that, that would that

555
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,720
would certainly help. 
Yeah. 

556
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,360
So did that, did that, did it 
clear a little bit. 

557
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,880
Did you feel anything? 
Yeah, I feel like it just, it 

558
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,800
brings me to the present state 
efficiently, you know, like I, 

559
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,320
yeah, just like mindfully 
controlling your breath and 

560
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,680
actually thinking about as 
opposed to just going about it. 

561
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,000
I do try and not ever allow 
myself to mouth breathe. 

562
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,880
Like when I'm sleeping, I take 
my mouth so I can only breathe 

563
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,200
nasally. 
So I'm, I'm, I'm try to, to, you

564
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,520
know, implement that whenever 
possible. 

565
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,720
But I think I should probably do
something like that throughout 

566
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,480
the day for sure. 
Yeah, yeah. 

567
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,400
So we have lots of other. 
So this is just the basic one. 

568
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,680
Then there's like techniques for
going to sleep, for example, 

569
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,240
which is a big common problem a 
lot of people have. 

570
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:44,040
So if you breathe an extended 
exhalation in a rhythm, so in 

571
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:51,120
for two beats, A4 beats, so 
seconds, that would do in for 

572
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:58,480
2A4 and just do that. 
If you just do that in a cycle 

573
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,200
right, over and over for a few 
minutes, you'll start to turn on

574
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,080
the parasympathetic pretty 
quickly and you'll feel much 

575
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,400
more relaxed. 
And if you add a little 

576
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,960
affirmation to it, I command my 
subconscious mind to put me into

577
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,240
a deep, restful sleep so I can 
wake up the following morning. 

578
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,160
And you set a time, right? 
Watch what happens. 

579
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,840
You'll fall asleep and then that
will happen, right. 

580
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,560
And we actually make a track 
just with that, that breathing 

581
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,760
pattern that you breathe along 
with that, that guides you into 

582
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,000
that state as well. 
A very relaxing track with 

583
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,360
beautiful music. 
And yes, sometimes I, if I'm in 

584
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,040
a situation where I really want 
to sleep, maybe I'm like in a 

585
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,720
different time zone and I want 
to reset, I'll use this track 

586
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,400
and it will put me into sleep. 
It's amazing. 

587
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,760
So you know, that's another 
example. 

588
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Turning on the parasympathetic. 
You can also do 4 beats, 8 beats

589
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,800
out. 
There's certain techniques you 

590
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,880
can do like in for four, hold 
for eights, out for eights, for 

591
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,840
example. 
So this is a really good one for

592
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:06,400
actually kind of turning off 
anxiety, right? 

593
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,360
And stress, which is another 
useful one. 

594
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,320
If you breathe in for about four
beats where you breathe in 

595
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,600
fully, you breathe into your 
lower lungs. 

596
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,520
So imagine your nostrils are in 
your back and you're breathing 

597
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,600
out, expanding your belly, your 
back, then into your chest, 

598
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,000
upper back, upper chest, and 
then so you've got full lung 

599
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,800
full of air. 
So do that'll take about four 

600
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,640
seconds to breathe in fully. 
Then you hold for 8 beats, 

601
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,760
right? 
You hold that for 8 beats and 

602
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,040
then you breathe out for 8 
beats, right? 

603
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Slowly, like you're breathing 
out for a small straw. 

604
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,480
If you just repeat that pattern 
OK over and over, boom, you'll 

605
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,640
feel very relaxed and actually 
helps if you've eaten loads of 

606
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,960
food and you're a bit stuffed. 
If you just do that, it will 

607
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,440
actually help you digest the 
food better too. 

608
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,760
It will give you space in the 
bowels to get the bowels moving.

609
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,240
It's really cool. 
So the main thing is definitely 

610
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,200
be holding or exhaling for at 
least double the amount of time 

611
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,880
that you are inhaling so that 
you have more carbon dioxide 

612
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:14,120
than oxygen. 
It's all about the CO2CO2CO2 is 

613
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,280
what you want to use to turn on 
parasympathetic nervous system, 

614
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,760
OK and to calm you. 
CO2 is a calmer, O2 is an 

615
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,400
exciter, right? 
O2 is also a vasoconstrictor. 

616
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,960
CO2 is a vasodilator. 
OK, big difference. 

617
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,080
So when you know that you can 
manipulate the gases in your 

618
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,000
body for whatever situation you 
want. 

619
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:42,679
OK, so with when you actually 
breathe out a lot of CO2, you, 

620
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,920
you actually, you don't get more
oxygen really you don't, you 

621
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,239
can't really fully saturate more
than what you do with just a 

622
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,360
little sniff of air coming in, 
inhaling a little sniff of air. 

623
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,960
It's that's not the thing. 
But what, what happens is if you

624
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,960
breathe out lots of CO2, right? 
And if you, especially if you're

625
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,520
doing a fast freight, you 
generate heat in the body as 

626
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,560
well. 
If you hyperventilate, short 

627
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,840
bursts, you, you reduce heat, 
but you also produce adrenaline 

628
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,920
and it can create a bit of a 
stress on the body, which can be

629
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,760
used in certain situations for 
certain things, like as a 

630
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,080
natural kind of stimulant in the
short term if it's just for a 

631
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,720
short period. 
But also it can act as a bit of 

632
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:23,440
an anti-inflammatory. 
But there's another way to use 

633
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,760
that because when you do that, 
when you breathe out CO2 

634
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,640
temporarily for a short period, 
right? 

635
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,040
So I'd say 30 breaths in and 
out, in through your nose, out 

636
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,720
through your nose fast. 
If you do that for 30 breaths 

637
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,480
and then you take a deep breath 
in and then breathe all the air 

638
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,080
up and hold your breath, you're 
now going to be able to hold 

639
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,520
your breath significantly longer
than you thought you could. 

640
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,480
Like your normal breath whole 
time. 

641
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,640
Just if you breathe in and 
breathe out and hold maybe about

642
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,320
30 seconds, the average is about
20 to 40 seconds. 

643
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,840
Some people are much higher, but
if you breathe all the CO2 out, 

644
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,600
because CO2 is what tells your 
brain you need to breathe OK, if

645
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,160
you have less CO2 in your 
bloodstream, it allows you to 

646
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,760
now hack your breath all times 
temporarily. 

647
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,120
And what that does is it 
basically triggers a positive 

648
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,120
stress on the body because you 
start to lower oxygen briefly 

649
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,640
and you create a state called 
insomin hypoxia. 

650
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,160
This is a very, very useful 
physiological state because when

651
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,320
you take anything away from the 
body, it tricks the body into 

652
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,440
becoming more efficient using 
that thing that is being 

653
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,000
deprived of. 
That's why fasting helps with 

654
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,200
food. 
It basically when you fast, you 

655
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,800
actually trick the body and 
thinking you're running out of 

656
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,760
sugar and glucose and fuel. 
And what it does then is it 

657
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,000
becomes more efficient. 
It clears out old cells that you

658
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,200
know are using up energy that 
you don't need. 

659
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,080
It kind of cleans the body up a 
bit so you can become more 

660
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,000
efficient to survive on less 
calories. 

661
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:10,120
OK, now same thing with diet. 
So with breathing, if you take 

662
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,200
away the oxygen for a brief 
period because it can't be too 

663
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,480
long otherwise you die, you, 
your body adapts to a low oxygen

664
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,600
environment. 
And what this does is your body 

665
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,480
will start to do what makes 
sense as well physiologically to

666
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,800
become more efficient in oxygen.
So you'll produce more 

667
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,680
mitochondria in your cells, your
red blood cells count increases 

668
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,760
and you get more capillaries 
growing in certain areas of your

669
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,840
body, right? 
And you can actually get 

670
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,640
coronary collaterals, which are 
like natural heart bypasses that

671
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,240
form that increases the 
cardiovascular strength of your 

672
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:49,120
heart, but also your brain 
health improves. 

673
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,600
You actually increase more blood
vessels and neurogenesis in the 

674
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,280
brain as a result of this. 
So just doing this like a few 

675
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,640
rounds of this a day, OK, can be
a really good cardiovascular 

676
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,920
workout for your system. 
And it's also why high, high 

677
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,360
altitude training works. 
High altitude training has been 

678
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,440
shown to be one of the most 
effective exercises where you go

679
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,680
up to high altitudes, train and 
then come back down and then go 

680
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,520
back up again. 
You do this like protocol of 

681
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,040
training at high altitude, 
coming back down to sea level 

682
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,360
and so on. 
And this is shown to be a secret

683
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,400
weapon of a lot of athletes. 
But now they use machines called

684
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,440
IHT machines where they give you
through machines a different 

685
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,520
concentrations of oxygen, high 
and low. 

686
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:40,680
You know you are normal and low 
actually. 

687
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,960
And sometimes they use actually 
a higher concentration oxygen 

688
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,040
and a low, very low 
concentration oxygen. 

689
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,920
And this fluctuation oxygen 
tricks the body and thinking 

690
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,120
you're running out of oxygen 
too. 

691
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,240
And this wakes up as well. 
Stem cells are the system 

692
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:59,480
because stem cells and that's 
why you get more capillaries 

693
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,320
forming stem cells have the 
power to turn into any other 

694
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,920
stem cells. 
Very small embryonic like stem 

695
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,960
cells are the the magic weapon 
of of reversing ageing and 

696
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,840
creating health within the body 
repair of old cells that have 

697
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,840
died due to low oxygenation or 
inflammation or so on. 

698
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,560
So this can help lower 
inflammation in the body and it 

699
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,920
also stimulated rapid healing as
well. 

700
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,720
And so you know, these 
techniques have been preserved 

701
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:33,160
in the yogic traditions of 
tantric yogic tradition for 1000

702
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,200
years. 
Now the science is starting to 

703
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,560
back them up. 
You know, people are Wim off he 

704
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:42,280
that's what he's doing. 
He's showing you high altitude 

705
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,200
training techniques, simulation 
of how to training with what he 

706
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,600
does. 
And you know, he's all about 

707
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,840
climbing up mountains in his 
shorts. 

708
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,880
And he's doing the kind of 
techniques that these Tibetan 

709
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,040
yogis would do to become 
efficient using oxygen so they 

710
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,760
can go and stay up in high 
altitudes. 

711
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,760
You know where the oxygen supply
is much lower, right? 

712
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,320
So, you know, Pranayama has 
these techniques, you know, we 

713
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,880
do our own version of this. 
Free divers are doing this as 

714
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,240
well that's allow them to swim 
underwater and hold their breath

715
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:16,000
for long periods of time, you 
know, and so on and so forth. 

716
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,000
So yeah, a lot of incredible 
things can be done just with 

717
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,040
your breath that we don't even 
realise. 

718
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,000
I mean, there's more, there's, 
there's ways you can turn on 

719
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:30,600
focus creativity, also sleep, 
digestive fire and that has to 

720
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,480
do with how you manipulate your 
nostril activity, your nostril 

721
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,800
dominance. 
I can share about that as well 

722
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,840
if you want. 
Yeah, yeah, definitely that As 

723
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,440
far as the the momentary acute 
increase in oxygen, like I've, 

724
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,240
I've noticed that like I used to
scuba dive and prior to using 

725
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,440
the the oxygen tanks, we were 
trying to increase breath hold 

726
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,280
times and we would intentionally
hyperventilate for a period and 

727
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,880
I would notice that my breath 
hold times, you know, almost 

728
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,000
doubled. 
It was kind of crazy. 

729
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,440
But I'll do something similar, 
you know, when I'm training, 

730
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,040
like if I'm about to do a, you 
know, heavy deadlift or 

731
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,520
something and I am bracing 
against the belt, in which case 

732
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,080
I'm not really breathing, I'm 
just keeping that core tight. 

733
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,000
I'll hyperventilate a little bit
before, you know, committing to 

734
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,240
that pull. 
And I feel like that's pretty 

735
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:19,200
much the the same thing is 
happening there. 

736
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,320
Yeah, actually deep sea diving 
is a great way to see how 

737
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,480
efficiently using oxygen because
how long, how fast your oxygen 

738
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,400
sound runs out is that measure. 
Because when I went, I did a 

739
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,360
whole advance diving and all 
this in Thailand, and I 

740
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,480
outlasted every single advance 
instructor there in terms of the

741
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,920
oxygen supply, like 
significantly longer than most 

742
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,800
people because my oxygen 
efficiency is so high compared 

743
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,160
to everybody else I've trained 
for it. 

744
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,760
And so I could stay on the water
for ages. 

745
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,320
People were blown away. 
They couldn't understand how I 

746
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,920
could stay on the water for so 
long compared to everyone else. 

747
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,720
But yeah, because you don't need
to breathe much when you're 

748
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:02,760
efficient. 
And actually that makes the 

749
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,080
whole underwater experience so 
much better when you you just go

750
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,960
into these meditative States 
and, you know, some people panic

751
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,040
down there and the oxygen tank 
runs out really fast or they're 

752
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,840
just all the way because that's 
how they naturally breathe. 

753
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,560
And I used to breathe like that 
till I learned that actually, 

754
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,000
that's the wrong way. 
So I had to reprogram a lot of 

755
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,880
bad habits from the past. 
And it's so easy to do. 

756
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,080
And once you do it, everything 
shifts and changes. 

757
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,400
But yeah, the, the the things 
that really fascinated me is how

758
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,920
we can tap into the autonomic 
nervous system as well. 

759
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,920
Like literally turning on 
creativity, turning on focus 

760
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,360
alertness, like in the moment, 
you know, literally in minutes. 

761
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,120
You know, you hear about pills 
and medication for this, but I'm

762
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,400
sorry, there's nothing that 
compares to what you can do with

763
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,920
your breath. 
I mean, I can teach you one of 

764
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,000
those techniques as well if you 
want. 

765
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,960
Yeah, yeah, I'm always down to 
learn more about how to be 

766
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,280
creative. 
Yeah, yeah, so, so basically we 

767
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,640
have two sides, the brain, left 
hemisphere, right hemisphere. 

768
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,280
OK, so the right hemisphere is 
your feminine brain and it's the

769
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,480
part that's going to emotional 
world. 

770
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,280
And it's also the more dreamy 
creative side, OK. 

771
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:18,480
It deals with kind of imagery, 
symbols and, and dreams and, and

772
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,240
it's the creative part. 
It's where you have the divine 

773
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:23,160
downloads coming in. 
The left brain is your more 

774
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,400
cognitive kind of reason and 
logic side of the brain. 

775
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,840
And, but here's the thing. 
So throughout the day, you're 

776
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:37,560
actually three people with three
different personalities. 

777
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,440
Your left brain, your right 
brain and both hemispheres 

778
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,480
operate at the same time. 
OK, this is super interesting 

779
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,480
because when your left brain's 
switched on, you're more in your

780
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,640
masculine, OK? 
You're more in that focus mode, 

781
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,240
you're more linear in your 
thinking, right? 

782
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,320
And it's actually your 
sympathetic nervous system. 

783
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,360
When you're more in your right 
brain, you're more in your 

784
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,960
feminine side, your nurture 
side, your creative side. 

785
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,680
You're more dreamy. 
And actually your mind may have 

786
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,640
a lot of thoughts. 
You're more introspective as 

787
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,760
well. 
You're more in your mind, right?

788
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,560
So throughout the day your 
nostrils will stretch dominance 

789
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,680
between left and right by 
itself. 

790
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,640
It's actually linked to the the 
lunar calendar believe it or 

791
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,800
not. 
And you can notice as you can 

792
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,120
see which nostrils more dominant
right now by closing 1 nostril 

793
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,440
and just breathing in out of 
one. 

794
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,840
You'll find one is much easier 
to breathe out from the other. 

795
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,240
Have a go. 
Yeah, my right side is 

796
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:39,440
definitely winning right now. 
Your right side, yeah. 

797
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,040
Is this breathe from? 
Yeah. 

798
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,920
So you're actually in your left 
brain because your left brain 

799
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,680
controls the right side of your 
body, your right brain controls 

800
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,600
the left side of the body. 
So when your right nostril is 

801
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,560
more dominant, it means your 
left brain is more active, 

802
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,880
right? 
So you're actually more in your 

803
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,520
masculine. 
So while you're paying attention

804
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,120
to every word I'm saying right 
now, OK, but if you're in your 

805
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,000
right brain, you may be drifting
off right now thinking about 

806
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,960
what I said before and going off
on tangents yourself. 

807
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,080
And, and it's interesting, 
you'll notice that you probably 

808
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,240
do that certain parts of the day
now also, you know, the 

809
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:16,200
afternoon slump people get, 
right? 

810
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,320
It's usually when the left 
nostril switches on because it's

811
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,800
also the more relaxed part of 
the brain. 

812
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,880
And so you can monitor this 
throughout the day and you can 

813
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,160
see which personality are you in
at the moment. 

814
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:33,960
Now here's the thing, we can on 
command switch nostril activity,

815
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,400
right? 
You can turn on creativity right

816
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,880
now if you want to be more 
creative, you need your left 

817
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,520
nostril switched on your left 
nostrils, also known as soma. 

818
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,400
It's the symbol is the moon. 
OK, because usually the left 

819
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,200
nostrils more active when the 
moon comes out. 

820
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,240
So and your sun is Surya is your
right nostril. 

821
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,600
And that's more active when the 
the sun's out makes sense 

822
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,320
because during the day you want 
to be more active, sympathetic, 

823
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,080
getting stuff done. 
And during the when the moon 

824
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,800
starts to come out and the sun 
goes down, you want to be more 

825
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,600
now into nurture, relaxing and 
being more in your creative. 

826
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,640
That's why artists tend to be 
more creative in the evenings, 

827
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,200
right? 
And especially during the full 

828
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,160
moon, right? 
They're more creative suddenly, 

829
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,040
right? 
Especially me, I'm a musician. 

830
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,680
I feel it straight away. 
So I can show you how to switch 

831
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,320
on your right nostril now, 
right. 

832
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,240
So you're left. 
So let's do that. 

833
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,640
So you, you know that I'm not 
completely insane. 

834
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:34,280
So take your left hand, put your
right, so all your fingers 

835
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,120
wrapped around your left thumb. 
So put your basically put your 

836
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,080
left thumb into your palm and 
then wrap your your fingers 

837
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,320
around it. 
OK, so you make like a fist but 

838
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,720
with your fingers over your 
thumb. 

839
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:58,240
Then you put your left armpit. 
So your left, this fist under 

840
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:02,560
your right armpit and you push 
up, you put loads of pressure 

841
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,120
up, OK? 
And you close your right nostril

842
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:11,920
with your so your right hand now
closes your right nostril, OK? 

843
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,600
And you're going to push up and 
you're going to breathe in and 

844
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,240
out through your left nostril 
only for about 21 times and put 

845
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:22,560
the pressure up. 
You need to re put pressure up. 

846
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,200
That's what switches on now in a
few minutes your right nostril. 

847
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,720
So try that, OK. 
So I got my fist around my left 

848
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:33,680
thumb and I'm pushing into my 
right armpit and I'm holding my 

849
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:37,640
right nostril closed. 
Yes, for 21 breaths. 

850
00:47:38,560 --> 00:48:05,340
Yes, 
yeah. 

851
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,640
In a few minutes, maybe even 
before the 21, your left nostril

852
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:23,480
should switch on. 
Yeah definitely can breathe 

853
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,320
through my left nostril easier 
now for sure. 

854
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,960
Yeah. 
So switching on. 

855
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,480
That's interesting, man. 
It's trippy. 

856
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,400
I think I'm doing yoga right now
here as we're talking. 

857
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:38,600
Yeah. 
And then in a minute you will 

858
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,040
feel more relaxed. 
Actually, you might start to 

859
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,520
drift off now actually a little 
bit in your attention. 

860
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,760
So your your left brain is 
attention. 

861
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,800
Your right brain is, I don't 
want to say distraction, but 

862
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,320
it's can't think of what rhymes 
with attention. 

863
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:01,400
But you know, it's going to be 
more in your creative side. 

864
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,160
You're more nurture female side 
now. 

865
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,960
So do you actually go through 
the day and you kind of like 

866
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,200
just self check and analyse to 
to switch as? 

867
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:15,040
Yeah, I yeah, I try not to mess 
with the whole biorhythms too 

868
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,400
much unless I really need to. 
So like, let's say I've got to 

869
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,040
do this interview with you. 
I want to be really sharp and, 

870
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,400
you know, I want to not go off 
on tangents. 

871
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,960
I want to kind of stick to some 
kind of linear thing. 

872
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,040
Now, you see, I was in a bit of 
a rush. 

873
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,600
I had a busy day. 
And so usually what I do is 

874
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,640
actually prepare a bit and get 
my right nostratus so I'm in my 

875
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,800
flow. 
So I actually, I started this 

876
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,960
call just checking that my left 
nostril is more active than my 

877
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,080
right. 
So I may be going off on a bit 

878
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:51,640
of a tangent, but I definitely 
feel more in the creative mode 

879
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:52,840
right now. 
Actually, I'm having a few 

880
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,240
divine downloads as we're 
talking. 

881
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,080
Yeah, so, but usually I'd switch
it as to and also here's the 

882
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,720
other useful time is digestive 
fire. 

883
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:06,560
So you need your right 
nostrilative to digest food 

884
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,000
properly. 
All right, so you want to sleep 

885
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,520
on your if you eat a lot of food
and your left nostrils active, 

886
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,200
you basically want to avoiding 
food when your left nostril 

887
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,760
active, you want to switch it to
your right. 

888
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,440
Or if you if it's too late, what
you do is you do a Soma power 

889
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,040
nap is you sleep on your left 
brain. 

890
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:29,640
OK, for a bit, because whatever 
side you sleep on is the 

891
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,920
hemisphere that will turn on. 
All right. 

892
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:38,280
So you sleep on your left brain,
your left hemisphere switches 

893
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,320
on. 
And this is your, you know, the,

894
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,320
the mask inside the digestive 
fire. 

895
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,920
Surya, it's the fire. 
And after a few minutes, when it

896
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,880
switches on and you wake up out 
of it, you're not really going 

897
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,080
to sleep. 
But it's like a little power 

898
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,560
nap. 
You'll feel so relieved if 

899
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,520
you're stuffed full of food. 
Suddenly you'll start digesting 

900
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,640
food so much better. 
It's amazing and you have more 

901
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,480
energy you feel or. 
Right side. 

902
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,600
You sleep on your left, so 
whatever brain hemisphere you 

903
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,720
want to switch on, you sleep on 
that side. 

904
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,720
So if you want to sleep, sleep 
on your right brain. 

905
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,320
Interesting. 
This is cool man. 

906
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:20,680
This is very cool. 
So do you. 

907
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,960
It's like I need to have like a 
bunch of diagrams or charts 

908
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,360
taped on the wall or something 
where I could see all this and 

909
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,880
adjust on the fly as needed 
based off of the goal. 

910
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,960
Yeah, so cool, right? 
And actually, you can also say 

911
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,960
no to things as well. 
Like if you really play with 

912
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,200
your biorhythm, let's say 
there's something you need to do

913
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,400
that requires attention, but 
your left nostrils are active. 

914
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:52,080
You can wait till it switches 
and then do that thing because 

915
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,480
that thing will be way more 
successful if you do it in the 

916
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,480
right nostril. 
So if you're going to be 

917
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:01,080
creative, your creativity will 
be more turned on when you're 

918
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:05,320
less nostrils are active and 
therefore you'll have a better 

919
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,560
outcome, better result. 
So whatever result you're 

920
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,600
looking for, check in with it 
and if you have to, switch it. 

921
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,200
So what if you're sleeping on on
your back, for instance? 

922
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,080
Is it kind of like just a 
blended hemisphere? 

923
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:20,840
So the back is an interesting 
one, right? 

924
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,800
Because first you don't want to 
sleep on your back because it 

925
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:30,120
will make your mouth open using 
your snore and your 

926
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,240
hyperventilate in your sleep, 
which is one of the most deadly 

927
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:34,280
things you can do, OK, for your 
health. 

928
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,040
So avoid mouth breathing in your
sleep at all costs. 

929
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,280
OK? 
But it's also known as corpse 

930
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,880
pose. 
OK, He basically dies a reason 

931
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,600
why it's called corpse pose. 
It's how dead bodies lie and 

932
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,600
both nostrils may switch on as 
well. 

933
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:55,080
And here's the thing, you will 
throughout the day, only a few 

934
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,200
moments will both nostrils be 
out at the same time. 

935
00:52:57,720 --> 00:53:00,800
This is a time not to do 
anything other than meditate. 

936
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,840
This is the Shushumna nadi. 
It's when you're connected to 

937
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:08,360
the divine right, and it's the 
moment you, all you should do is

938
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,960
meditation. 
If you do anything else in that 

939
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,120
state, it's going to fail, 
right? 

940
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,040
It's not going to work. 
You're not going to have the 

941
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,360
best outcome because you're 
actually connected source at 

942
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,320
that point, and that's the best 
time to meditate and have the 

943
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:25,120
divine downloads. 
So if you wait for that moment, 

944
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:26,360
you can. 
But you can also switch them 

945
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:32,000
both on by basically using both 
fists of both armpits and 

946
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,840
putting pressure on both armpits
at the same time and that will 

947
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,240
eventually switch on both 
nostrils. 

948
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,440
Interesting. 
Again, don't mess with that too 

949
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,600
much. 
Yeah. 

950
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,040
So what what does a day-to-day 
look like for you? 

951
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,720
Like when you wake up? 
Like how do you kind of 

952
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,160
construct your day to optimize 
where? 

953
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,440
You're well, I live states, 
yeah, I live what is called what

954
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,320
I call a breath based lifestyle.
So everything revolves around 

955
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,320
the breath. 
I wake up, I do breath based 

956
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,920
yogic practices, asanas as well 
as stretching and physical body 

957
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,720
weight exercises. 
Holding the breath is Indian 

958
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,720
martial arts system called 
Kalari which is all using the 

959
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:16,920
breath with body weight 
exercises like push ups, sit 

960
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,000
ups, squats and so on, lunges 
and different types of 

961
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,880
variations of squats. 
So I do that. 

962
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:27,400
So you get anaerobic exercise 
benefits which is in my opinion 

963
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,560
way more efficient than aerobic 
exercise. 

964
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,640
You get a lot of benefits at 
quicker time. 

965
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:36,520
I use my breath. 
I have an app, the same breath 

966
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,320
app, so they have these amazing 
tracks on there. 

967
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,600
And I do one dose of that 
usually of the intermittent 

968
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,080
hypoxia techniques, which is an 
amazing, you know, way to start 

969
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,440
your day. 
Then I go on with my day, right?

970
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,560
And I'll check in with the 
nostrils and if I need to switch

971
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,160
them because I've got something 
urgent to do, I'll do that. 

972
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,360
I usually I'll play with the 
nostril like I'll, I'll kind of 

973
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,880
work in, in tandem with the 
biorhythms that my nostrils 

974
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,040
tells me. 
It's my, you know, signal of 

975
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:11,840
what to do and what not to do. 
And I do also spend times where 

976
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,080
I, I'm in silence, where I don't
talk and I keep my mouth shut 

977
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,640
and just breathe in and out 
through my nose because it helps

978
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,400
recalibrate the, the nervous 
system and get the oxygen back 

979
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,800
to where it needs to go. 
It's very important that we have

980
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,400
these no breathing breaks, you 
know, where you don't breathe 

981
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:30,520
much. 
Well, reduce breathing breaks, 

982
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,560
you know, especially if you're a
talker, if you're doing a lot of

983
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,960
interviews and talking for long 
periods of time, you need to 

984
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,840
have at least a minute every 20 
minutes just to recalibrate. 

985
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:45,480
Like I'm talking a lot right now
because I'm in my flow, but I 

986
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:49,160
know it's now I'm getting a bit 
light headed because I've talked

987
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,320
to talk, talk, talk non-stop and
I'm breathing out a lot of CO2. 

988
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,760
So that is meaning I'm getting 
less oxygen to my brain, not 

989
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,280
more. 
This is why it's so important 

990
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,920
that people stop and just focus 
on the breath. 

991
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,120
It's called Vipassana, where you
just focus on your breath and 

992
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,960
just breathe in and out in 
silence. 

993
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,240
This is one of the easiest ways 
to meditate and it gives you all

994
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:15,440
the benefits of reduced 
breathing, which is the 

995
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:20,520
cornerstone of good yoga 
practice, but also a breath 

996
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,280
based lifestyle that's going to 
dramatically improve your 

997
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:29,520
health, well-being, energy 
levels, your moods, everything. 

998
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,560
Just let you do a few, a one 
minute break every 20 minutes of

999
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:39,360
slow reduced breathing in a 
rhythm in for four beats after 4

1000
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,920
beats or infrared alpha rates. 
There's other patterns. 

1001
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,640
There's all you can do and just 
see what happens to your life. 

1002
00:56:47,240 --> 00:56:50,880
Man totally, man, totally. 
I had a podcast of a couple days

1003
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,240
ago talking about like CPAP 
machine, you know, sleep apnea. 

1004
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,080
And obviously, as you had said 
earlier, you know, if you've got

1005
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,400
sleep apnea in your mouth 
breathing like the worst thing 

1006
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:03,040
you you can do, is there any 
downside to the C PAP machine as

1007
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,920
far as like having a regulated 
amount of oxygen coming in? 

1008
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,840
Is that kind of like better than
the sleep apnea? 

1009
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,360
I'm sure, but probably not 
optimal. 

1010
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,920
So therefore, like severe 
situations, right, they 

1011
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,600
shouldn't be first line 
treatments, right? 

1012
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,760
So I, I'm, I go with the mantra 
first. 

1013
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,200
Do no farm, you know, as my 
friend has seen my daughter's 

1014
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:30,600
mantra, because pharmaceutical 
invention is just putting the 

1015
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:35,840
Band-Aid over the of the of the 
actual 'cause you know of the 

1016
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,120
situation. 
So you need to identify the 

1017
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,560
cause 1st and then you can 
reverse engineer what's going 

1018
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,120
on. 
Why am I on the CPAP machine? 

1019
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,920
It's probably lifestyle factors,
probably being overweight. 

1020
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,680
It's probably stress levels, 
anxieties, maybe sleeping 

1021
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,960
positions. 
There's so many things you can 

1022
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,680
do before you go on a CPAP 
machine to fix to prevent you 

1023
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,640
getting on there because once 
you're on that, you become 

1024
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:03,000
dependent on it and it means 
you're not actually fixing the 

1025
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,120
port, the cause of the problem. 
So I'm always like medical 

1026
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:10,760
intervention, last resort, 
emergencies, do everything you 

1027
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:15,920
can before take it all off. 
If none of that works, then do 

1028
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,280
CPAP machine. 
But you also need to give a 

1029
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,760
chance. 
People don't give changing in 

1030
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,920
lifestyle enough of a chance. 
People like, we'll go on a diet 

1031
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,440
for a day and say, oh, the diet 
can work, you know what I mean? 

1032
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,240
Yeah. 
So that's not good either. 

1033
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,240
Totally agree man. 
Well tell me about the the app 

1034
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:33,400
real quick to kind of round to 
here. 

1035
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,720
I want to learn more about that.
Yeah. 

1036
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,080
So the app I'm really proud of, 
it's got a whole library of 

1037
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:44,760
different breath pharma 
techniques and also a whole 

1038
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,520
library of different breath 
tracks with newer somatic 

1039
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,960
programming, which is all about 
reprogramming you at a core 

1040
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:56,320
level with amazing guided breath
meditations and using this 

1041
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,120
breath retention techniques to 
create intermittent hypoxia. 

1042
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:07,720
The dose I'm talking about and 
dose stands for DOSC, dopamine, 

1043
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,200
oxygen, serotonin, endorphins. 
When you hold your breath for a 

1044
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,800
long enough period and also 
rhythmic breathing as well 

1045
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,560
enhances this, you release a 
dose and that positive stress on

1046
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:23,680
the body, right, is what it 
creates all the magical effects 

1047
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,360
I was talking about with 
intimate hypoxia. 

1048
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:30,240
Also, that dose makes you feel 
naturally high, makes you feel 

1049
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,200
it gives you a natural high 
feeling. 

1050
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,800
So in the net result, everything
we do, if you follow our app and

1051
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,800
uses your daily practice, you're
going to get naturally high. 

1052
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,560
You feel like you're glowing 
every single day, right? 

1053
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:49,280
But also you will become 
naturally healthier and happier 

1054
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,400
because these are feel good 
neurotransmitters, right? 

1055
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:57,720
And if you feel good and happy 
and a high vibe, everything we 

1056
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,600
do is a result of feeling. 
So if you're feeling good, 

1057
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,160
you're going to start doing good
stuff to other people as well. 

1058
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,280
You're going to start making 
better choices for your life. 

1059
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,080
It's the miserable people who go
and do and make people miserable

1060
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,160
around them and cause suffer in 
the world. 

1061
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,880
It's the high happy, healthy 
people who go on and do good 

1062
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,720
things. 
So that's my mission is to make 

1063
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,000
people naturally high. 
Right without needing loads of 

1064
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,840
drugs and also healthy and 
happy. 

1065
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,560
And then we can make the world a
better place. 

1066
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,560
That's the real mission behind 
the Summer Breath app and 

1067
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,160
everything we do I. 
Love it man your your raves now 

1068
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,760
look quite a bit different than 
your than your initial raves I'm

1069
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,720
assuming. 
Yeah, we call them breath raves.

1070
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,680
Awesome man, where do I point 
people to to learn more? 

1071
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,040
The the summer breath app? 
Is it.com or? 

1072
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,160
Itssoberbreath.com. 
OK. 

1073
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:54,040
The app there and we also have 
various courses like instructor 

1074
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,800
training courses and and so on. 
Awesome, man. 

1075
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,360
Well, I'll definitely put some 
of this into practice. 

1076
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,400
It's getting colder now, so I'm 
going to start doing more of my 

1077
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,640
cold plunging and doing the 
breath work, breath work as I'm 

1078
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,040
doing that. 
So yeah, man, this is this will 

1079
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:06,320
be cool to play around with for 
sure. 

1080
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,880
Amazing mate. 
Well, I certainly appreciate the

1081
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,400
time, brother. 
Keep fighting to keep good 

1082
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,720
fight.
