The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

20 minutes?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

20 minutes of breath work.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

The way it works is very simple.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

You create a respiratory alkalosis by breathing off the CO2.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

The cell is not able to fill it up so quickly, so the blood becomes alkaline.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

When it is alkaline, so alkaline, you don't need to breathe.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

There is no breathing trigger because it depends on the amount of CO2.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

So the CO2 is a little time absent.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

But in that little time of absence, we don't need to breathe because we are alkaline.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

It just goes back to the right homeostasis of alkalinity.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

And you feel like nice.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

Parasympathetic nervous system is on.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

but sympathetic as well.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

It is quite contradictory of, it's a biohack.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

It's an ultimate biohack.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

We are able to get into the vagus nerve, into the parasympathetic nervous system, consciously at the same time sympathetic nervous system.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

And what now happens, that is the autonomic nervous system.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

What happens is we enter into the deep brain because we are not breathing.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

where there is the breathing reflex mechanism.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
263. Wim Hof: On Breathwork Science, Cold Exposure, Immune Control, & Human Potential

This is in the breath hold.
