ADVICE

Set Circadian Rhythm With Three Ratios

  • Align three circadian ratios: light vs dark, movement vs rest, and eating vs fasting to set your internal clock.
  • Use morning light to anchor, daytime movement for stimulation, and time-restricted eating to reinforce the rhythm.
ADVICE

Daily 30 Breath Inspiratory Training Lowers Blood Pressure

  • Do 30 resisted inhalations daily to strengthen inspiratory muscles and lower systolic blood pressure by ~9 mmHg.
  • Use a dedicated inspiratory trainer or a puckered-lips/straw method so last breaths feel challenging (50–75% max pressure).
ADVICE

Train CO2 Tolerance To Improve Oxygen Delivery

  • Train CO2 tolerance to improve blood flow and calm the nervous system using nasal breathing and breath-holds.
  • Practice breath-holds and nasal Zone 2 cardio; higher CO2 dilates vessels and enhances oxygen delivery.
