“Through deep breathing, we become alchemists.”

Breathwork Overview
BENEFIT: Relieve Stress, Improve Memory, Enhance Focus
This conversation serves as a sort of “masterclass” on the science of breathing and breathing-related tools for health and performance.
Dr. Huberman and Dr. Feldman discuss how breathing influences mental state, fear, memory, reaction time, and more. Learn to relieve stress, improve memory, and stay focused, all by approaching an habit from a new perspective.
This podcast discusses specific breathing protocols such as box-breathing, cyclic hyperventilation (similar to Wim Hof breathing), nasal versus mouth breathing, unilateral breathing, and how these each affect the brain and body. They discuss physiological sighs, peptides expressed by specific neurons controlling breathing, and magnesium compounds that can improve cognitive ability and how they work.

Master Your Breathing For Mental & Physical Health and Performance
Learn to relieve stress, improve memory, and stay focused, all by approaching an old habit from a new perspective. Dr. Feldman and Dr. Huberman discuss specific breathing protocols such as box-breathing, cyclic hyperventilation), nasal versus mouth breathing, unilateral breathing, & how these each affect the brain & body.
Guided Cyclic Breathing
Dr. Andrew Huberman demonstrates “cyclic sighing”, also known as physiological sighing, which is an innate breathing pattern that has recently been adapted into breath work practice to reduces stress & anxiety.
Reduce Anxiety with Sighs
Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses the science behind "Physiological Sighs" - patterns of breathing that can be done deliberately any time one wants to reduce their levels of anxiety and / or calm down quickly.
