In this counterintuitive interview, I talk with Physical Therapist and Breathwork Trainer David Deppeler about how breathing LESS, and thereby elevating CO2 levels, can help improve sleep, boost immunity, lower stress, enhance athletic performance, and even help in the fight against COVID-19.
We talk about the pros and cons of hyperventilation techniques like the Wim Hof Method, Tummo Breathing, or Heart Mirror Breathing. We discuss the helpfulness of well known breath restriction techniques like alternate nostril breathing and Ujjayi breathing.
Near the end of the interview, David takes us through a simple technique you can use to access the powerful state of higher oxygen utilization brought about by higher blood carbon dioxide levels.
