Clip from a recent podcast with Guy Fincham, which I'm currently editing. @breath_Guy
Guy explains how he went from being a complete sceptic of breathwork to doing a full 180.
And how he eventually became one of the leading educators, authors and publishers in the field, specialising in the science of breathwork
An interesting insight into his journey, what changed his perspective, and how he came to dedicate his work to understanding and educating others on the science of breathing.

Isometric holds for 30-90 seconds using large muscle mass groups is very effective for blood pressure issues as well
Wall sits have been shown to improve HBP issues in adults and are easy to do at home
Also very good for connective tissues
Best things you will do for your blood pressure outside of losing weight:
- manage electrolyte intake (potassium, magnesium, sodium,)
- dial in egfr function (kidneys, raas system)
- increase collagen intake
- nattokinase
- zone 4 cardio + sauna for ten minutes when hr drops
- increase epa/dha intake
90% of the time it works everytime.
This checks out, even for health
the great thing about life is that everything can be gamified...
every little thing you want is locked behind a set of actions
in theory, the only habit you really need to live the life you want is to write down clear action items & attack them everyday
doing what's written down on your list every day becomes the all encompassing habit one should build
the only variable is how aligned those actions are w/ what you want to get out of them, that comes from good judgement

100% behind the idea that paying someone for access to their knowledge base is a cheat code
You're compressing years of their trial-and-error, failures, frameworks, and pattern recognition into a few calls/1 to 1s.
Couldn't tell you one time I actually regretted paying for mentorships or access to someone who's actually at the LEVEL they claim..

Even after treatment with levothyroxine individuals with hypothyroidism still have redox balance that is tilted towards a pro-oxidative state.
Focusing on NAC + glycine + selenium + mitochondrial support such as PQQ is a more sustainable way to restore redox balance.

The single most powerful meta-skill is comandeering STATE CONTROL.
How quickly you can swap between mental states: Introspective to extroverted. Critical to creative. Stimulated to relaxed. Aggressive to gentle. Rational to emotional. Guarded to open.
Learning to state shift is a skill in and of itself. This one skill will allow you to accomplish more, experience more, and to simply LIVE more. Everybody knows somebody like this because they're simply so extraordinary you don't forget it when you see it.
Takes monk-level nervous system control.
Really enjoyed this and recorded it as a podcast for people to listen. (Just in the process of editing)
Super educational
Guy is one of the most dynamic characters I've met with so much knowledge and experience in his chosen field.
He's a hidden gem on x, and worth a follow 💎 @breath_Guy

Funny thing about reality is that you can do everything the 'right way' and get absolutely nowhere.
Because you're so attached to manufacturing a particular outcome so you end up overthinking every decision, action and variable.
Then, almost ironically, you do everything the 'wrong way' and get sent to the moon with results you weren't even trying to achieve.
Hard to explain, but sometimes being too 'thinky' can actually hold you back.
You become so preoccupied with engineering what you want you forget to leave room for the unexpected.
Reality doesn't always reward the most calculated approach.
Sometimes you just need to act, experiment, iterate and let go of the outcome and see what happens.

Like Imperial's psychedelic research centre, through philanthropic support I'd love to be able to scale the Breathwork Lab into a Centre of Excellence @BSMSMedSchool (like the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science founded by @anilkseth). If this is you, give me a shout!
Still accurate.
If your day doesn't look like this you're probably not in a healthy rhythm:
1)- Morning 🪵at 7am
2) - Morning Logs 💩 at 9am
3) - Hungry for 🍳 and food
4) - Peak cortisol state early morning so you can find resonance with some ☕
5) - Mid day crash, accompanied by some adaptogenic mushrooms to help you throughout the day
6) - Should start to feel tired two hours before your normal bed-time , dim-light melatonin onset
Then the cycle repeats, times may vary
Biohacker retweeted
Dim-light melatonin onset is the circadian compass
Your melatonin levels starts rising 2-3 hrs before sleep (in dim light)
And if you hit that window wrong with evening LEDs and your signaling your biology to stay up and wreck your hormones
Blue light is the silent circadian saboteur, and you don't even know it
The entire purpose of data is to make better, more informed decisions.
And your health shouldn't be any different.
Think about all the information you can collect about your health.
Genetics tests, Whoop data, weightlifting logbooks, bloodwork, nutrition tracking, sleep metrics.
But what is the point of collecting all this information if it ends up sitting in a spreadsheet, PDF or file that you never look at again?
Take traders, as an example.
They aggregate data from multiple sources, analyse it and use it to make better trading decisions.
The objective is simple, make better decisions, generate more money.
Health is no different.
You should be aggregating information from multiple sources to make better decisions and actions toward your health.
Identifying patterns, understanding how your body responds to different interventions and adjusting your approach based on the data.
The goal isn't to collect as much data as possible.
It's to actually USE the data you're collecting.
Otherwise, what's the point?
Under-rated s-tier tip for your health/fitness.
List one major problem that you are currently facing. high blood pressure, poor physique, bad at training.
Then go very deep into researching how you can create ten executable sub-tasks that can bring you ONE step closer to eliminating or fixing said problem, then instruct AI to upload it to todoist or a task-list app of your choice in a repeatable format so it pings you daily.
Cant really get much simpler and effective than this. because its usually adherence is the bottleneck. not the information you currently have.
You need to be flexibility maxing if you want an ELITE competitive advantage in all modalities of life.
Metabolic flexibility aka the ability to burn carbs and fats to switch efficiently between fuel sources depending on availability and demand.
Intellectual flexibility, the ability to change your beliefs when new evidence contradicts your existing model.
Physical flexibility, the ability to adapt to different kinds of physical demands, short distance sprints, long distance running, mobility across multiple ranges of motion, strength at different joint angles.
Psychological flexibility, the ability to adapt your behaviour without becoming psychologically attached to one response, to regulate emotional reactions, tolerate uncertainty, change strategies when circumstances change
And maintaining your direction without becoming rigid.
Never met a man who had this amount of flexibility that didn't win in everything he pursued.
