Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize EWAT to oxygenate blood plasma and enhance circulation
EWAT works by saturating your blood plasma with oxygen, which is thin enough to get past inflamed, pinched-shut capillaries that block larger red blood cells.
Achieve hypoxic training effects with breath holds during exercise
Instead of using complex altitude-switching equipment, you can achieve a similar hypoxic effect by simply doing breath holds during your exercise.
Stack red light therapy for optimal athletic performance and recovery
For athletic performance, use red light therapy before EWAT to increase oxygen demand, but for chronic illness recovery, use it afterwards to take advantage of the excess oxygen supply.
Prioritize lung health for effective detoxification
A surprising 70% of your body's detoxification happens through your lungs, making them your most significant detox organ.
Address low oxygen to reduce inflammation
Anywhere in your body you have low oxygen you have inflammation, and anywhere you have inflammation you have low oxygen; you can't have one without the other.
Combat inflammation to maintain oxygen utilization as you age
Every year past the age of 25, you lose 1% of your ability to utilize oxygen, largely due to inflammation building up inside your capillaries.
Enhance mitochondrial function to resolve autoimmune issues
The speaker's view is that autoimmune issues are ultimately mitochondrial problems, and fixing the mitochondria by enhancing energy production can resolve them.
Implement 15-minute EWAT protocol with cardiovascular exercise and pure oxygen
The ideal EWAT protocol involves 15 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at 70-80% of your theoretical max heart rate while breathing 93% pure oxygen.
