Chapter 1: What is CO2 therapy and how does it compare to oxygen therapy?
Yeah, thanks for having me on.
Yeah, I just tried the machine and it was an interesting experience.
Yeah, yeah.
To say the least.
Chapter 2: What breathing techniques can improve CO2 tolerance?
What was your experience of it?
Definitely tough breathing in there. I was trying not to hyperventilate, honestly. Yeah, yeah. So it was a bit of a mental game because we were also conversing while I was doing it.
Yeah, yeah. It's hard to talk.
But it probably gets easier, I assume, over time, right?
It does. You build up your CO2 tolerance, which makes it easier to breathe. So I can breathe like, I think you were like 3% or 4%. For me, because I've been doing it for a while, that'd be pretty easy. So I could hold a conversation, basically. But even for my mom, she's 75 years old, and she does 1% or 2%, and she's breathing really fast.
Because a lot of it has to do with their CO2 tolerance, because CO2 actually is the stimulus for breathing, even more than oxygen, even more than the lack of oxygen, I should say. So hypoxia is less of a stimulus to breathe than CO2. So CO2 causes you to breathe faster. When you exercise, you're getting more CO2 in your... in your system.
Right. I noticed that when I put it on, I was like, why am I breathing faster? Like, I was like, what the hell? But that makes sense. And as we get older, your oxygen levels go down, right?
Um, you're, I wouldn't say you're, I mean, you still, like, if you look, look at a pulse oximeter, you're someone that's older, your hemoglobin saturation of oxygen should still be, when you're older, it's still gonna be close to like 96 to 100, which means all of your red blood cells are on the hemoglobin, it's holding all of the oxygen that it can hold.
But potentially like the amount of red blood cells you have, and also like, as you age, you have more capillary senescence. So you have less tissue perfusion to the cells. Your capillaries are kind of deteriorating as you age and you're getting less blood flow to all of your tissues and cells and whatnot.

Chapter 3: How can CO2 therapy benefit athletes?
And CO2 therapy is actually more effective than oxygen, according to these studies, at increasing your capillary density and also increasing your mitochondria. So it's like CO2 itself is like a signal to create more mitochondria and create better mitochondria quality and everything like that.
That's very interesting to me that it's more effective because I would say oxygen therapy is more mainstream.
It is, yeah. Not many people really know about CO2 therapy. It's been... Around like for people doing CO2 therapy for probably like hundreds of, I mean, centuries actually. Really? Yeah. Wow.
I mean, if you look at natural springs, like in ancient Greek times, biblical times, people built cities around these natural springs and people would go there to receive healing and they would sit in these baths and they were found to be naturally high and very high in carbon dioxide.
Interesting. So they just didn't know the science behind it, but they were- They didn't know the science, but they noticed the effect of it.
And they would actually literally build cities around these springs.
Holy crap. So warm springs have high amounts of carbon dioxide in them?
Yeah, certain ones do, yeah.
Okay. That's good to know.

Chapter 4: What are the historical uses of CO2 in therapy?
Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, injuries have plagued him, like Middleton. Every year he's getting injured. Middleton.
I'll try to hit him up for you to get him one of these.
You should, yeah.
He's getting older now, though. He is, yeah, yeah. Late 30s. I feel like that's tough to compete with these 20-year-olds.
I think this could help extend the life of an athlete, too, so they could play into later years. Absolutely.
You said you were trying to lose fat loss. Was this helping out with that, too?
It does actually help speed up your metabolic rate, so it definitely helps speed up fat loss. There's another method called carboxytherapy, where they inject CO2 into your skin, and it helps with wrinkles and stuff like that, and stretch lines.
Stretch marks.
Stretch marks. And they did a study for fat loss, too. They injected it into people's stomachs and their thighs, and they lost... four centimeters compared to the control group just from the CO2 injections.

Chapter 8: How does CO2 therapy relate to aging and longevity?
Yeah, I think I know. It's like pink skin and stuff.
Yeah, they're pretty ugly.
Yeah, yeah, they're super ugly. My fiance had a huge fear of them. Oh, she does? Massive. Really? Yeah. That's interesting. Well, rats in general, people aren't like fans of.
Yeah, they don't tend to live around this area, I don't think. No, I've never seen one.
They're more in Africa. Oh, they're in Africa. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Yeah, scientists need to study those instead of regular rats.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
They need to get those in the lab.
Yeah, there's other animals too, like certain bats that live in caves, which have high CO2 levels. It's the same thing. They live a really long time.
Holy crap. So there's a direct correlation between.
