20 Minute Guided Breathwork For Intermittent Hypoxia I 3 Rounds 3 Minute Hold (Patreon)

What is intermittent hypoxia and why would we want to lower the oxygen in our blood for brief periods of time? Because it feels good. And…

Intermittent hypoxia is a practice where the body is exposed to brief periods of low oxygen levels, alternating with periods of normal oxygen. This is often achieved through breath-holding exercises or using equipment to temporarily reduce oxygen intake. The idea is to mildly stress (Hormetic stress) the body with low oxygen to trigger adaptive responses, like improved oxygen efficiency and cardiovascular function. It's used in some athletic training and medical therapies, but it should be practiced cautiously, especially for those with health issues.

Enjoy my friends,
