    A breathing masterclass with the original breathwork guru, Dan Brule
    2025/11/28
    The Breath as a Bridge to Transformation In today's episode, I welcome breath master Dan Brulé, whose 50-year journey exploring the science and art of conscious breathing has made him a pioneer in the field. From training Tony Robbins to working with military personnel, Dan reveals how breathing techniques can unlock extraordinary healing, performance enhancement, and altered states of consciousness that many dismiss as "woo-woo" until they experience it themselves. Dan explains how our breath serves as the only bodily system that's both automatic and under our conscious control—an invitation to participate in our own evolution. Through deliberate breathing practices, we can regulate our autonomic nervous system, manage our mental states, and even access our brain's natural pharmacy of neurochemicals that rival plant medicines in their transformative effects. What You'll Learn: Defining Breathwork: Understand breathwork as both an art and science, which utilises breath awareness and conscious breathing as tools for physical, mental, and spiritual transformation.Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Activation: Learn how different breathing techniques can activate the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, offering various health and performance benefits.Breathing Techniques: Dive into specific techniques like slow control breathing, resonant frequency breathing, and more intense methods like holotropic breathing, which offer unique physiological and psychological benefits.Impact on Mental Health: Discover how breathwork can serve as a powerful tool for emotional release and psychological healing, even suggesting potential roles in ameliorating trauma-related symptoms.Role of CO2 Tolerance: Explore the physiology behind CO2 tolerance training and how it can enhance physical performance and emotional stability. Key Takeaways: Breathwork is an accessible, potent means to influence the body’s autonomic processes, aiding in stress management, anxiety reduction, and improvement in overall mental health.Conscious breathing can lead to significant physiological benefits, including the regulation of the nervous system and enhancement of physical performance.Utilising techniques like resonant frequency breathing can harmonize the body's physiological systems, promoting profound relaxation and energy balance.Fast-paced breathing techniques, while requiring cautious practice, can induce non-ordinary states of consciousness, potentially unlocking new dimensions of psychological healing and self-awareness.CO2 tolerance and proper breath control can play a critical role in not only enhancing performance in elite fields like the military but also in managing everyday stress and anxiety levels.

  • Are we on the brink of a breakthrough in healthy aging? A masterclass in NAD+, with Dr Charles Brenner

    Are we on the brink of a breakthrough in healthy aging? A masterclass in NAD+, with Dr Charles Brenner
    2025/11/21
    If you're interested in optimising your healthspan and lifespan, this episode is not to be missed. In the quest for longevity, the spotlight has turned to NAD+ and its precursors, NMN and NR. In this episode featuring Dr. Charles Brenner, a metabolism scientist, we dive deep into the significance of these molecules and their role in healthy aging. You'll discover that NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is not just a trending topic but rather a crucial player in metabolism. Learn why Charles refers to it as the "central jewel of metabolism". In the conversation, the distinction between NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) is clarified, and you'll discover which of these molecules has the best evidence-base. You'll also find out why some popular ways to increase NAD+ are an expensive waste of time. Dr. Brenner highlights the importance of evidence-based research, citing eight randomised clinical trials demonstrating the anti-inflammatory effects of one of the NAD+ precursors in humans. One significant study focuses on peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition affecting millions of older adults that can severely impact mobility and quality of life. Ypu'll also disciver why a simple functional test is a way better predictor of longevity than all of the espoensive epigenetic-focused Biological Age tests that are currently on the market. What You'll Learn: The Basics of NAD and Its Functions: Understand the foundational role of NAD in cellular metabolism and how it acts as a transmitter of high-energy electrons needed for energy production and cell functions.Scientific Evidence and Research: Discover the rigor behind the clinical research of NAD and its supplements, like Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), including ongoing trials and results showing anti-inflammatory properties in humans.Controversies and Misconceptions: Unpack the myths concerning longevity molecules, such as misinterpretations around resveratrol, with arguments laid out by reputable scientists like Dr. Brenner.Applications in Age-Related Diseases: Explore the potential of NR supplements in addressing conditions like peripheral artery disease and its promising though variable outcomes in treating Long COVID and neurodegenerative diseases.Critical Analysis of Clinical Trials: Learn about the importance of clinical integrity, unbiased research, and how independent laboratories contribute to credible scientific discoveries. Key Takeaways: NAD is vital for maintaining metabolic health and managing cellular stress, which is essential for healthy aging.Recent clinical trials have shown promising results for NR in reducing inflammation and improving conditions related to peripheral artery disease.There's ongoing research into NR's benefits for cognitive function, particularly its potential effects on neurodegenerative disease.Supplements should be chosen carefully, preferably ones that have been tested in clinical trials to ensure efficacy and authenticity.The conversation between Dr. Taylor and Dr. Brenner highlights the need to critically evaluate scientific claims, especially those that are widely publicised without robust evidence. Through the episode, Dr. Brenner provides deep insights into how NAD coenzymes operate within the body and why they're considered crucial for longevity research. Moreover, listeners are encouraged to discern meticulously between scientific fact and internet hype, ensuring they make informed decisions when considering supplements. The episode is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of biochemistry, aging, and healthspan science.
