How To Measure Your BOLT Score | Patrick McKeown Oxygen Advantage
Переглядів 1,2 тис.14 днів тому
As far back as 1975, researchers noted that the length of time of a comfortable breath hold can be used to determine relative breathing volume during rest, and breathlessness during physical exercise [1,2]. The Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT), which involves an easy breath hold after exhalation, is a useful and accurate way to measure this relative breathing volume. The ideal BOLT score for a hea...

    Yoga was never intended for people who were sick, it was to support people reaching their next potential- mind blown. I've been a yoga teacher for 7 years and that is not something i've been taught. I've worked with so many "fancy" pranayamas, and what Patrick said is so important, let's get the basics right FIRST.

    "Before beiing superhuman, we must be sure to act,breathe, move as human". "Natural breathing at rest has three fundamental properties: 1. Inhalation is diaphragmatic (abdominal) 2. Exhalation is passive (does not require additional muscle activity) 3. The amount of breathing is minimal (no more than you need at that time)" SIMON BORG OLIVIER, physiotherapist

    I have a question about slow breathing for better gas exchange while climbing the mountain. It seems logical that this should work, and it appears to be similar to Wim Hof's "conscious breathing" while climbing Kilimanjaro, which also shows promising effects. However, I'd like to know: If this type of breathing helps your body take up more oxygen in thin air, does it not decrease the speed of acclimatisation? If breathing this way increases the blood oxygen saturation, will the body even be triggered to increase the amount of red blood cells in our blood? Of course, this would not be a problem if we kept breathing this way for the entirety of the trek, but we can't control our breathing during sleep.

Did I miss something in this discussion about the direct link between breathwork and hormonal balance? Was this strictly about mouth taping at night?

    • @OxygenAdvantage
      @OxygenAdvantage 7 днів тому

      Thanks for you message, it's great that you are finding balance in this phase. Sure, the podcast focused more broadly on stress management and lifestyle factors' relationship to hormonal health. They spoke about how breathwork can help calm the mind and promote better sleep quality, which is important for hormone regulation. They didn´t deeply explore scientific evidence directly connecting breathwork to changes in hormone levels but the science is there. We have a Breathing for Females course as well as a Breathing for Menopause course that explores the science in greater depth.
