The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

So at that altitude, it's about 13.7-ish, which doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's a huge deal, right?

I mean, a 7% reduction in oxygen is like a third, like you say, less oxygen.

And if you're not conscious of that and you're just breathing oxygen.

normally, which is what happens to me when I sleep because I'm not conscious.

And so for the first three, sometimes four days, I always wake up with a mild headache.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

It's not a migraine, but it's a headache and I'm foggy and slow to get out of bed.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

And the first thing I do is I get outside

And I do three rounds of 30 breaths with a breath hold in between.

And not only is the headache gone, but I feel so alive and so connected.

Just, it takes me maybe, I don't know, 12 minutes or something.

And I go back inside.

I don't even feel like I need coffee.

And then when I'll put a rucksack on and I'll just, I have this little four mile loop in the woods.

And when I get back from that ruck walk, I'm telling you, nothing makes me feel better.

You see all the fancy stuff I have here in Miami.

Nothing makes me feel better.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Not red light, not hyperbarics, not sauna.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Nothing makes me feel better than that.

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

Round of breath work, little bit of weight, four and a half miles through the woods.

And I try to just draw my attention to what's going on there.
