I don't know what's better than a wolf.

Like, I don't know who was going to come after him to try to one-up his wolfdom.

That's a hundred percent real, right?

That's not psychosomatic.

What happens is a lot of people in breath work, at least I was told, they told me like, cause I kept feeling this, my hands like turn into claws.

You're like, what the

Maybe he was a wolf.

And so they kept saying, you're reverting back to your primitive self.

I was like, OK, but what's actually happening measurably to our bodies?

And what I found is this is a phenomenon that is called tetany.

And what happens when you over-breathe this amount, you start to lose calcium.

Calcium gets bound to albumin.

And once that happens, you need calcium for proper nerve and muscle function.

So we don't have enough calcium in order to function properly.

And so things start to shut down.

So at these really intense sessions, you can't open your fit.

As hard as you try, you can't.

They turn into these claws, which is really creepy.

If you don't know that this is happening, it's like you're in some cult situation where everyone's

reverting to some lower level of hell and developing these claws.
