YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode my guest is Dr. Jack Feldman, Distinguished Professor of Neurobiology at the University of California, Los Angeles and a pioneering world expert in the science of respiration (breathing). We discuss how and why humans breathe the way we do, the function of the diaphragm and how it serves to increase oxygenation of the brain and body. We also explore how breathing influences mental state, fear, memory, reaction time and more. Additionally, we cover specific breathing protocols such as box breathing, cyclic hyperventilation (similar to Wim Hof breathing), nasal versus mouth breathing, unilateral breathing and how each of these affects the brain and body. We examine physiological sighs, peptides expressed by specific neurons controlling breathing and magnesium compounds that can improve cognitive ability and how they work. This conversation serves as a sort of master class on the science of breathing and breathing-related tools for health and performance.
