30 Second Exercise to Build Up Your CO2 Tolerance | Part 1

Welcome to next part of our transformative "Breathe Light" series with renowned breathing expert Patrick McKeown! In this video, we delve into the incredible benefits of breathing light exercises for 30 seconds and mastering air hunger to enhance carbon dioxide tolerance.

👉 Learn how to deal with shortness of breath (air hunger) effortlessly.
👉 Discover quick techniques to calm yourself and reduce stress.
👉 Improve oxygen uptake in the blood for enhanced performance and well-being.

Breathing light exercises provide a gateway to building up a higher tolerance to carbon dioxide (CO2), which plays a crucial role in regulating our breathing patterns. CO2 is not just a waste gas; it's a powerful signal for our bodies to breathe and maintain physiological balance.

By embracing the art of "breathe light," you can unlock a host of advantages, such as improved blood flow to the brain through the dilation of blood vessels and maximizing the renowned Bohr Effect. This effect allows a higher concentration of CO2 in the blood, enhancing oxygen uptake and delivery to vital organs and tissues.

Join us on this eye-opening journey as Patrick McKeown shares his wealth of knowledge and expertise to guide you through these life-changing breathing practices. Let's cultivate a deeper understanding of our breath and take control of our respiratory well-being.

Very helpful. Thankyou.
A shame some viewers are so disrespectful. I am doing this practice while listening so it works like a meditation for me.

[sandywood]

Thankyou. For years have been sent to have lungs checked heart checked all good. But there isn't anyone else to refer me too. My problem is can't breath on incline. I'm now waiting to see ent as one side of my nasal passage is blocked. I get constant infections and so much penicillin is not good. Rant over. So glad I found you

[gyanibastola]

Very much appreciated, thanks for sharing your experiences .❤

[spiritflower]

This was excellent, thank you! I listen to this a few times in a row.Just the practice with your guidance is helping me to increase my CO2 tolerance... My starting bolt score is about 15... haven't measured it again yet... more practice!😊👍

This is soo interesting. Thought we should just take in a sniff of air and exhale slowly. Is this correct or wrong?

[UMCmetal]

when I exhale so slow (20sec out) my impulse kicks in and I can't inhale so super slowly.

What about the concern that people with obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilate and they are hypercapnic, so this in turn triggers adipogenesis (fat build-up) and puts the condition in a vicious cycle?

[DaimonosUlv]

Does this eventually increase nitric oxide in blood?

[tomdewittefoto]

I m using CO2-tables, it works fine. ( Gert Leroy CO2-table)

[rakeshjaswal]

Sometime you say CO2 is higher in blood we feel air hunger.and now you saying we need to increase CO2.sir pls explain I m confused whether to increase CO2 or decrrase

[PCP]

I find i actually breathe a lot slower than most people (8 breaths per minute max) but I often struggle to get a satisfying breath hence why I exhibit sighing dyspnea rather frequently (at least every minute or 2).

You often talk about people breathing fast but what about people breathing relatively slowly and deep like me? Same exercises? Maybe I breathe too deeply all the time.

[Seantorky]

How is this better than doing co2 tables.

[voteforhamsandwich]

I dont really understand how Oxygen Advantage make videos so boring. I am not trying to be mean, i love the content. Its just unbelievably dry

[tomdewittefoto]

this is an example:
When I do them I m better at the gym and better at concentration

[terenceiutzi]

Funny ! Astronauts, and Submarines function fine at 5, 000 PPM why on earth would we want to tolerate more? The highestvever atmospheric CO2 on earth was 6, 000 PPM!

[HotSkillet]

That was a lot of repetitive gibber gabber. Just DEMONSTRATE the breathing exercise so we know what the heck you're talking about.
