Not all breathing dysfunctions are the same — and neither do they require the same techniques.

Hyperventilation, often linked to excessive arousal, calls for calm, safety, and a healthy relationship with breathing before introducing any challenge.
Mechanical dysfunctions, on the other hand, often need structure, feedback, and awareness.

Elite breathing is cultivated through miles of practice, deep relaxation, a positive relationship with breath and extraordinary mechanics .

Breath Science and high-level practice demand nuance, specificity, and excellence in communication.

If you feel limited in your understanding, decision-making, or struggle to help clients stay consistent with their practices, you may want to explore the Breath Science Certification.

We teach beyond techniques and protocols — diving into understanding client needs, goals, and personality traits that ultimately shape their experience and yours as a coach.

I offer 1:1 mentoring for those seeking expert-level discussions and refinement, or you can join our group cohort for collaborative learning.

🗓️ A few 1:1 spots are open this month.

🎓 The next group training starts mid-to-late January, suitable for US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand time zones. Pre sale spaces are now being enrolled with lowest investment, and early course and community access with the

Cold exposure isn’t just about toughness, it’s brain training 🧊🧠

➡️ Builds top-down control of stress response
➡️ Helps regulate breathing + stay calm under pressure
➡️ Supports the prefrontal cortex to quiet emotional reactivity
➡️ Can reduce hyperarousal + hypersensitivity (helpful in PTSD)

⚠️ But: too much cold exposure in non-stressed people may blunt interoceptive awareness, creating disconnect or dissociation

What separates elite-level endurance athletes from sub-elite athletes is what I call open circuit breathing. In this short 5-minute clip taken from my latest journal club, we redefine what optimal breathing means, and it has nothing to do with the Bohr effect.

Reflections at 37

I sit here today, 37 years old, reflecting on how much life has changed.

My teenage years were all about sport, music, and time with friends; carefree days chasing movement and sound.

My twenties were dominated by health and fitness — specifically, nutrition, rugby and weightlifting — as well as seven intense years in academia, during which I earned two advanced degrees in exercise and clinical sciences, with a focus on respiratory and sleep science. Those years were fuelled by alcohol and trance music, late nights in the underground and festival scenes across the UK and Europe, and, inevitably, a fair share of heartbreak.

My early thirties became a period of experimentation, mistakes, and rebuilding. After a mental collapse into the chaos and a neurotic chapter that taught me more than I realised at the time, I began to discover a more profound sense of self.

Through breathwork, yoga, psychedelics, philosophy, depth psychology, and spiritual inquiry, new belief structures emerged, thanks in large part to Christ here — ones that would shape my mid to late thirties.

Now, I live with a renewed vision, mission, love, and creative purpose — yet I’m still profoundly me. The same health-conscious, curious human scientist who loves to study, to move, to rave, and to experiment. Only now do I share that curiosity and love with my family, drawing inspiration from the unconscious blending of art, science, and soul.

At this stage of life, I choose authenticity over image, love over fear, creation over consumption, and truth, wisdom, and ambition as my guiding lights.

Every era brought a new rhythm, from sport to science, from trance to transcendence.

Now, I celebrate not the changes themselves, but the integration of all of them.

To those walking your own path of growth — keep breathing, keep creating, keep loving.

That one morning habit could be sabotaging your sleep 😴

Most people wake up and immediately check their phone. Emails, social media, notifications, all of it gives your brain a dopamine spike. Dopamine drives arousal and action, so when it’s the very first thing you do in the morning, your brain starts anticipating it earlier and earlier.

That’s why you might find yourself waking up at 4 or 5am, even if you don’t want to. Your brain is chasing dopamine.
A better option? Leave the phone. Step outside. Get sunlight in your eyes. Then get on with your day.
