Power Of The Breath

Good to get outside today after yesterday
trek starts Monday

So why do I have this headache right now? At 3,400m my body has triggered something called the Hypoxic Ventilatory Response — chemoreceptors in my carotid artery have detected the drop in oxygen and signalled my brain to breathe faster. But breathing faster has dropped my CO2 too low, and that’s actually what’s causing the headache, dizziness and brain fog — not just the lack of oxygen itself. On top of that, my blood’s ability to release oxygen to my muscles has shifted too, something known as the Bohr Effect. The fix? Slowing my breath right down. Nasal breathing at altitude releases nitric oxide from the sinuses, which dilates blood vessels and helps every molecule of oxygen reach my tissues more effectively. My body is already fighting for me. Breathwork just gives it the tools to win.

keeps his mouth shut before clutch moments.

“McIlroy has talked about walking on the course in between shots just reminding himself to close his mouth, to take calm nasal breaths to regulate the nervous system, because we get different signals to the brain when we’re breathing through the mouth compared to through the nose,” says David Jackson, a breath work expert, coach and author.

Last chance for training
18th n 19th April in Sydney.
If you’re not coaching breathing, you’re leaving results on the table.
Breathing drives:
→ Mental performance (stress, focus, decision making)
→ Physical performance
→ Longevity
Oxygen Advantage gives you practical tools you can use immediately—
with clients or teams, in both coaching and clinical settings.
You can write the best program in the world…
But if breathing isn’t optimal, nothing else is.
Because how you breathe directly influences oxygen delivery, brain function, and nervous system state.
Oxygen Advantage teaches you how to actually coach it—
Not just “take a deep breath”… but how to improve physiology and psychology.
Many excellent facilitators are missing this piece of the puzzle—
and it may be the most powerful tool.
