CO₂ — a waste product, right? Not quite.
In this episode, we dive deep into carbon dioxide tolerance, the misunderstood breath chemistry that impacts your energy, sleep, mood, and ability to move.
You’ll learn:
- Why overbreathing is quietly hijacking your nervous system
- What CO₂ tolerance actually is — and why it matters for everyone, not just athletes
- The real connection between CO₂, HRV (heart rate variability), and how well your body recovers from stress
- Why “tired but wired” is often a breath chemistry issue
- How improved CO₂ tolerance transforms your capacity for movement, stillness, and rest
- When not to use breath holds — and safer ways to start
You’ll also hear a powerful analogy that makes HRV finally click — and practical tips for how to start rebuilding breath capacity with safety and nuance.
If you’ve felt stuck in your body… breathless when you shouldn’t… or like recovery just isn’t landing — this episode might reframe everything.
