About this listen
In Part 1, we built the principles-first operating system. In Part 2, we apply it—so breathwork stops being a “nice idea” and becomes a repeatable tool you can use on demand.
You’ll learn how to choose the right protocol for the right moment, based on what your nervous system needs:
Downshift (stress → calm): longer exhales, nasal-first, CO₂ tolerance work
Upshift (fog → focus / energy): controlled intensity, breath as a stimulant
Performance (warm-up → output): bracing + rhythm + recovery between efforts
Recovery (post-training / sleep): parasympathetic bias and “close the loop” breathing
We also give you a simple decision tree, a few go-to protocols, and a way to track progress (so you’re not guessing).
If you’ve been collecting techniques, this is the episode that turns them into a system you can run.
