Whether you're an athlete, high performer, or simply looking to improve your everyday wellbeing, these techniques empower you to breathe smarter, recover faster, and perform at your absolute best!

The Oxygen Advantage® method isn't just about breathing — it's about performing under pressure, building resilience, and pushing boundaries.

Here's how it gives ATHLETES the edge:

✅ 1. Boosts VO₂ Max
Train your breath to deliver more oxygen with less effort. Higher VO₂ = greater endurance.

✅ 2. Enhances Respiratory Efficiency Nasal and light breathing conserves energy, builds aerobic base, and supports calm under chaos.

✅ 3. Delivers Oxygen Easier, Not Harder  Better CO₂ tolerance = more oxygen delivered to your muscles when it counts most.

✅ 4. Altitude Training Without the Altitude 
Breath-holds simulate high-altitude conditions to stimulate EPO and boost red blood cell count.

✅ 5. Faster Recovery
Between Sets, Games & Sessions, Nasal recovery breathing drops your heart rate faster and clears lactate quicker.

✅ 6. Strengthens Core + Breath Mechanics
A powerful diaphragm = greater core control, better posture, and higher output.

✅ 7. Mental Resilience Under Pressure Breath control equals mind control. Stay composed, focused, and fierce — even when the pressure’s on.

The Oxygen Advantage is high-performance breathing — built for the courage zone!

Are you an aspiring Athlete and want the edge over your competitors by going further, faster, and longer — with less effort? Do you want to learn the method that elite athletes, UFC fighters, and special forces use to breathe and perform like pros?

Mens Health Week June 9-15th 2025

*Men only workshop - Currumbin Valley - 15th June*

https://events.humanitix.com/men-only-workshop-a-path-to-empowerment

Men’s mental health matters—because staying silent is no longer strength.

I know this firsthand. After my fourth heart procedure in 2016, I was diagnosed with chronic depression and suicidal ideation. I had a plan—and I told my partner I didn’t want to be here anymore. What followed were doctors, psychologists, and anti-depressants... but still, I was struggling.

I’d hit burnout, carrying the silent weight of anxiety and trying to hold it all together alone. Then I came across the term self-sabotage and thought, what the hell does that mean? That question led me to NLP—simple, powerful mindset tools that created real change.

But it wasn’t until I experienced breathwork that everything clicked. In that moment, I realised: We already hold the power. We just need to know the how—and the why.

This Men’s Health Week, I’m sharing that journey in “The Path to Empowerment”—a workshop for men ready to breathe deeper, think clearer, and reconnect with their true strength.

🦁 Unleash the lion within.

Why Breathing Matters More Than You Think!

* People with asthma typically breathe 10–15 liters per minute, far above the healthy average of 4–6 liters.
* This over-breathing worsens airway constriction, feeds into the asthma cycle, and increases anxiety, fatigue, and poor sleep.
* Functional breathing retrains your biochemistry (CO₂ sensitivity), biomechanics (diaphragm use), and cadence (breath rate)—the three dimensions of better breathing.

Clinical Evidence

A 12-week clinical trial in Australia, in the 1990's, found that Buteyko Breathing resulted in:

✅ 70% reduction in asthma symptoms
✅ 90% reduction in need for rescue medication
✅ 49% reduction in steroid inhaler use
(Mater Hospital, Brisbane)

Buteyko Breathing Method Control Pause (CP), what is it?

"The length of a comfortable breath-hold, measured after a normal exhalation, without any force, until the first definite desire to breathe."

What's your Control Pause? Try the Control Pause now!

Control Pause Test:

Sit upright
Nasal breathe calmly until relaxed
Inhale silently, exhale silently - normal breaths
Lightly pinch your nose after an exhale and record the time to your first definite desire to breathe.
Resume normal silent breathing through the nose.

Note: This is not a major breath-hold test

Your Control Pause could be 2-3 seconds or it could be much higher towards 20 seconds. What was yours?

This is one of four baseline tests i perform to gauge your breathing patterns, your level of breathlessness and your tolerance to CO2.

Increasing your Control Pause will increase your breathing capacity and efficiency.

Nasal Breathing vs Mouth Breathing

The nose was designed for breathing!

The mouth is designed for talking and eating!

The NOSE;
Filters the incoming air
Humidifies and warms the incoming air
Increases air flow to arteries and veins
Increases Oxygen uptake and circulation
Production of Nitric Oxide in nasal cavity
Slows Down Breathing
Increases Lung Volume
Improves and Strengthens Diaphragm
Lowers Risk of allergies and hayfever
Reduces risk of coughing
Boosts Immune System
Lowers risk of snoring and Sleep Apneas
Supports correct formation of jaw and teeth through correct tongue placement.

The nose has over 30 known functions, making it the perfect tool for breathing. It's how nature intended us to breathe—during rest, while awake, and even during low to moderate intensity exercise.

Risks of Mouth Breathing;
Inhaling unfiltered air
Trauma to upper airways
Asthma
Exercise Induced Asthma
Allergic Reactions
Bad Breath
Dental Decay
Gim Disease
Snoring and Sleep Apneas
Teeth and Jaw abnormalities
42% loss of moisture causing a dry mouth

How do you breathe? Nose or Mouth?

Shift your breath and change your respiratory health!

Try keeping your mouth closed today and feel the difference!
