As a former Wim Hof instructor… I like to start my day with a Hof method of breathing… And then throughout the day, I like to use the oxygen advantage technique

@RafaelSantiagoToro 8 ай бұрын

do you practice Simulate Altitude Breathing? same day? issues?

@barbfaison1333 2 ай бұрын

Same. I start my day with wim hoff always nasal breaths (I end that session with low slow light breathing). Great for meditation after wards. At night, I use the oxygen advantage breathing techniques found on the app I downloaded. 👍🏼

I think this explains why I've developed terrible insomnia for the last 6 months. I started the WHM breathing during Covid two years ago and have hardly been sick since and not depressed at all. I hadn't made the connection between the CO2 intolerance though and wondered if it was mercury amalgam poisoning causing the insomnia. I slept like a baby last night after doing 15 minutes of light timed breathing. Can't thank you enough!!

Finally… someone has come to senses and said it loud! Thank you 🙏 Just Nestor’s got similar opinion as you do .. others keep quiet (as far as I know). Art of breathing that is thousands years old is much better knowledge, more scientifically proven in test of time, as yours now, than shortsighted Wim’s .. Sadly he will never ever have a chance to comprehend what lies behind breathing truly. Pity.

Thank you for this presentation. Isn't it that people who are anxious and have panic attacks often breathe fast and shallow and therefore their sensitivity to CO2 is higher? At 22:25 you seem to suggest that the causality is the reverse.

@Jacko-Breathwork 9 ай бұрын

Hey! Glad you like the video and yes your are correct… there is a link between anxiety and CO2 sensitivity. The more sensitive we are to CO2 the more prone potentially to anxiety. Apologies if that wasn’t clear in the video

@TonyWinyardDJ 3 ай бұрын

Good vid Jacko. One thing I was unclear about (which maybe I missed); you mentioned doing OA breathing after the WH breathing, and specifically doing the Breathe Light breathing. Do you go straight into the Breathe Light breathing after the last round of WH breaths? and how long do you do it for?

@Jacko-Breathwork 3 ай бұрын

I personally don’t do or coach a hyperventilation practise but the advise is for those that do, it’s important to rebalance CO2 levels after the last round… a few minutes of feeling air hunger with breathing light practise is what we recommend

Using oxygen advantage philosophy, when I'm biking and doing nasal breathing, should I breath naturally or should I calculate and do long slow breaths? I say this bc my natural breath can be huffing and puffing (thru nose) at times and doesn't feel right

What I'm curious about is if anyone is looking at what the effect of "saturating" one's bloodstream with excess O2 has on one's cellular respiration? I understand and appreciate your differentiation between the two practices and (with all due respect) also can't help but think there's another detail we may be leaving out in the larger discussion: When one considers that the body has to perform two types of respiration to fully assimilate the oxygen from the air we "ventilate" or "externally respirate" or "inspire," one being the "external respiration" and the second being "internal respiration" or "cellular respiration," where our cells exchange O2 for CO2 into the blood to ultimately leave our bodies when we "exhale" or "expire" our breath, ultimately maintaining the delicate pH balance in our blood; I have to wonder, is this unnatural inspiration or "saturation" of our blood with oxygen contributing to any "conditioning" of one's bodily "internal respiration" by providing it with ample anaerobic resource (with laterally-oriented hyperventilation) and prompting anaerobic internal-respiration by ceasing to ventilate? The excessive expulsion or CO2 has been found to modulate our blood pH (sometimes around 7.6 I've read) to a more basified environment, not only seemingly providing a hostile environment for the proliferation of pathogens and a handful of other effects one could find beneficial, but also unfortunately altering our bodily system that prompts us to inspire again. In this video (10:10 about) you have a table mapping an individual performing rounds of "the Wim" and observed the oxygen saturation raising significantly after the hyperventilation cycles and also the levels of oxygen left in the blood lowering with each retention hold (a time one gives to body to internally respirate the excess oxygen at its' current conditional habit). Could one also see this data as the test subject potentially "internally respirating" the excess oxygen from the blood into the cells and tissues that may have required it? It seems to me that one can "outpace" one's bodily processes with strenuous work at times, like paying an oxygen-debt one works up at the gym by "panting." ( I believe that shaking from the cold is another example of this, but on the polar opposite side of the thermal coin, and that's another conversation entirely) When we cause ourselves to pant due to strenuous activity, the body conditions its' cellular respiration to become more efficient and use the ventilated oxygen better with each breath, thus better conditioning one (an athlete, say) for the exercise at a later date. I would ask if "the Wim" might potentially be allowing for a similar, although maybe not as effective, conditioning of bodily cellular respiration by prompting the necessity via breath retention? Maybe only with the push-up exercise during the breath hold because one is creating CO2 more quickly as a result of physical exertion? The Bohr effect seems to explain the mechanism by where else the oxygen can be transported and utilized and this also seems to possibly describe why test participants are experiencing decreasing levels of O2 in their blood post-retention. Might, with each hyperventilation and retention cycle, the body be becoming more efficient in transporting the excess O2 into more of the blood cells and adjacent structures that possibly had been needing it for however long? I have a strong feeling that, since we as a general populous have yet to grow up with such substantial oxygenation habits, have at least one or two muscles or organs that could use a little more O2 than what we regularly inspire each day to "catch up" after anything we've "put our bodies through" throughout our lives. I run into this in my medically-inclined massage therapy practice here, at home. Muscles can be stuck in an "acetyl-loop," usually causing a low-pH locally, and unable to de-polarize from their "spastic-loop." I've found that not only my muscles (in my private yoga practice and massage self-care) seem substantially more prepared to release (which could be from enough excess O2 systemically that the GTO can finally exercise its' command, or the general pH difference in the entire body that the hyperventilation instigates), but also with clients who've been "open to the experiment" with me and inspired "30 big-ones" whilst on my table before massage was administered as well. Not Swedish, but a more slow, sustained, direct trigger-point therapy, which I find important to delimit. I understand that a large portion of what I have experienced in this regard could be contributed to the body achieving a more parasympathetic state with ventilation technique, but also feel like I don't notice the same "muscular-readiness" to release the spastic hold with regular clients who "drop-into the zone" normally during a massage where we aren't experimenting with breath. Might this specific exercise (the Wim) help individuals with emphysema more safely rehabilitate their respiratory process (with something less life-threatening than running outside) and possibly re-condition their costal muscles as well as their body's ability to use oxygen again? I'm curious about the CO2 levels of the subject that was mapped in the table I referenced earlier. Were those levels greater after each retention period? Is it a directly converse relationship to the reduced levels of O2 in the blood? It doesn't seem sensible to me (at this present state in my education) to hyperventilate an unnatural amount of O2 into the blood stream and then result in less O2 after a period of hiatus unless there's something using it. None of this, I say with any contradictory intent and, in fact, agree with your delineation betwixt the two breathing practices and their potential coinciding benefits. I have friends who've trained for special forces that describe to me a more strenuous exercise used to condition one into a lesser CO2 sensitive state for water operations and am curious about the thresholds of this mechanism in the body and the exercises (possibly not so dangerous as the Seals) to modify them. I also can't help but think that anyone encountering a breathing practice such as "the Wim" might be more likely to refrain from exercising it under water and especially in hot tubs if they had a more clear picture of the systems they effect and how. Jesus. Respectfully curious, Your friendly, neighborhood, massage therapist

Hyperventilation part of the Wim Hoff method deprives your cells of oxygen. That is why you feel light-headed. Not because of too much oxygen. Oxygen is held in the blood until it is forced to be released to the cells during and after the breadth hold because of the build-up of carbon dioxide. Not sure if repeated deprivation of oxygen to your brain is a good thing despite the short amount of time it is for. Your brain needs 2/3 of the oxygen of your entire body.

Hi mate, thank for the comment, as the CO2 levels start to rise the Bohr effect is whats making the SpO2 drop in each round of the retention after the hyperventilation in wim hof technique... thats what I said in the video or tried to explain... sorry if it wasn't clear. Jacko

@r.p.6315 Жыл бұрын

Hyperventilation symptoms are caused by low co2 in the blood. The o2 / co2 balance is off. It is not a deprivation of o2, it’s an abundance of o2 and shortage of co2. Pretty sure at least.. look it up or point me somewhere that disproves pls

Doesn't that mean that Wim Hof method lowers the CP in the long term?

@Jacko-Breathwork Жыл бұрын

Good questions, the WHM does create the hypoxia that helps promote increase in red blood cells as does the OA... but the low Carbon Dioxide (hypocapnia) that the WHM creates means its not increasing our tolerance of CO2 each time you do it and actually making you potentially more sensitive it to to the CP might not increase. Needs to be studied more. Hope that makes sense? Jacko

OA - Low Oxygen / High CO2 = Greater adaption's to handling CO2 WHM - Low Oxygen / Low CO2 What is your opinion on "Breath" and "Jaws", is it better, worse or do either go more in-depth on parts of Oxygen Advantage?

@Jacko-Breathwork Жыл бұрын

Great questions… low CO2 hypocapnia from WHM doesn’t help increase CO2 tolerance and in short term Cox study showed it reduced CO2 continually with each round and not restoring back to originally levels.
