But this is a phenomenon that is measurable.

Tetany, it's called?

It's called tetany.

And the same thing happens to your toes.

Tetaning?

T-E-T-A-N-Y.

To do this on occasion is fine, right?

But if you are constantly over-breathing, which is a problem that so many people suffer from, they wonder why their fingers are constantly numb or cold, why their toes are cold, right?

Why they are like this.

They're causing this permanent imbalance of these electrolytes.

in their bodies and the body can compensate because it's gonna keep you alive, but that doesn't mean it's gonna keep you healthy.

Well, most of what I studied and researched and write about is this normal breathing.

It's so unsexy, right?

Just breathe normal.

I want to be a super breather.

But what you realize is the vast majority of people are breathing dysfunctionally.

And so what I'm trying to bring awareness to and to have people do first before they go and do crazy breathwork stuff is to learn normal breathing because you're never going to be able to get –

a ton out of breathwork practices unless your foundation is solid.

It's like you want to run a marathon.

Would you just stand up and run a marathon or would you try to train a little bit and get a proper foundation, get the right biomechanics?
