What if the key to training harder… was actually slowing down? In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, renowned health and performance educator Thomas DeLauer joins Dr. Scott Sherr to unpack the often-overlooked science of parasympathetic activation. From breathwork to posture, lactate to mindset, they reveal why top-tier athletes downshift between sets — and how everyday gym-goers can unlock greater performance, recovery, and longevity with a smarter nervous system approach.

Join us as we delve into:
• How elite athletes use micro-pauses and posture to reset between sets
• Why music, caffeine, and mindset impact nervous system performance
• The surprising role of CO2 tolerance and breath-holds in training
• Nutrition and supplement strategies that support parasympathetic recovery

• You always push harder in your workouts and feel burned out
• You’re curious about breathwork, recovery, and workout longevity
• You want to train smarter, not just harder, for long-term gains
