We release Carbon dioxide (CO2) when we breathe and our body is set up to prevent too high levels of this gas. However, we need a balanced level - not too high, not too low - for the body to work optimally.

That's because the right levels of Carbon dioxide come with plenty of benefits such as anti-inflammatory qualities, open airways and blood vessels, relaxed muscles a calm nervous system, and increased oxygen supply to tissues, including the brain.

Listen to this episode and learn about how even slight over-breathing can lead to chronic problems and how improving the way you breathe lays the foundation to relieve tension, improve focus and strength, allows the body to recover better, improves your sleep, optimizes blood circulation and oxygen supply, and allows the body to reset and heal itself.
