    Mouth-breathing evolved as a survival mechanism during "fight or flight". But today, because so many of us experience chronic stress and anxiety, mouth breathing is the dominant way in which we breathe - much to the detriment of our health and performance. In this episode, Patrick McKeown, International best-selling author of The Oxygen Advantage and one of the world’s leading breathing re-education experts, explains why breathing isn't just for Yogis and why high performers, creators, or anyone who wants to spend more time in flow states must learn how to breathe properly.

    Episode Guest: Patrick McKeown

    International best-selling author of The Oxygen Advantage and creator and master instructor of the Oxygen Advantage® technique, Patrick McKeown is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading breathing re-education experts. Over the past two decades, Patrick has trained thousands of people around the world to safely challenge their bodies and produce positive changes through breathing re-education. He teaches a new way to breathe, combined with specific exercises designed to improve blood chemistry. The result is an increase in oxygen flow to all the body’s systems, meaning greater endurance, strength, and power.

    The way you perform under stress is closely connected to the breath. Dysregulated breathing limits your ability to perform mentally, physically, and emotionally. However, by training your body to use oxygen more effectively you will optimize performance while growing resilient to stress. In this episode, we're diving into the biochemistry of breathing with Dr. Jay Wiles, a clinical health psychologist, and board-certified biofeedback practitioner. You'll learn how to use oxygen more effectively by creating a state of "air hunger," why this practice improves self-regulation, and just for fun, the most surprising biohack he's discovered in the last year to reduce stress and boost HRV.

    Episode Guest: Dr. Jay T. Wiles, BCB, BCB-HRV

    Dr. Wiles is a clinical health psychologist who is board-certified in biofeedback, HRV biofeedback, and Tai Chi for rehabilitation. He has a passion for helping others reach their full potential from an integrative and holistic perspective and has worked closely with elite athletes and executives on enhancing peak performance through training and regulating psychophysiology. He is the cohost of the Ben Greenfield Fitness podcast and host of Mindhacker’s Radio w/ Dr. Jay Wiles. His experience in integrative techniques differs from other psychologists, as he focuses on how we can utilize sunlight, water, exercise, and food to mitigate the damaging effects of stress, anxiety, and depression. Dr. Wiles owns Thrive Wellness and Performance in Greenville, SC, and loves spending time outdoors with his wife and two boys.

    Our health and wellness is reliably achieved through sustainable habit change. But, how does a person create this change when they have tried and failed many times over. Is change still possible? In this episode, we're talking with a member of the Elite HRV community, Dean Dwyer, who shares his personal story of transformation. And how at age 53 he figured out how to fix the underlying mindset that was preventing him from having the body he truly wanted. Whether you're working your body, your business, or any aspect of your life, the principle of "minimal viable threshold" may be the key that unlocks sustainable habit change for you.

    Episode Guest: Dean Dwyer

    Dean Dwyer is on a personal journey to master his mindset and to share what he learns along the way. As a coach, he helps people change how they look by changing what they think regardless of their age, genetic make up, or past failures.

  • Five years ago, Tyron Groenewald was overweight, stressed out, and sick. After his cardiologist diagnosed him with left ventricular hypertrophy — a condition where the ventricles have to work harder to pump blood, resulting in an enlarged heart muscle — Groenewald decided to make some major lifestyle changes to prioritize his health.

    His hard work has paid off. Just half a decade later, 35-year-old Groenewald is down 114 pounds, he runs every day, and his left ventricle now measures within a normal range. Along with implementing a healthier diet and more physical activity, Groenewald says measuring his heart rate variability daily — he’s currently on a 1100+ day streak of using his Elite HRV monitor — has been a key part of his health journey.

    ## **In This Episode**

    Tyron tells us all about his weight loss journey as well as the tools he used to achieve and maintain it. Hear how Tyron uses the data he gets everyday from using the Elite HRV app to understand how his body is responding to various inputs - be it food, exercise, cold therapy, etc.

    - Artificial ethology, computational neuroethology (terms he coined), biomathematical modeling of nervous systems, and computability of consciousness,
    - Medical informatics, medical decision-making, connectionist systems (neural networks, now called deep learning), and expert systems,
    - Computer-assisted imaging, edge detection algorithms, and telehealth,
    - Virtual group dynamics, communication, and collaboration methods (He created the first wireless groupware),
    - Parallel, cluster, cloud, and distributed emergent computing,

    Dr. Hart has spent a lifetime in performance from national champion in freestyle wrestling and representing Canada internationally to becoming an Oncologic Surgeon. Following General Surgical Residency and fellowship training in Hepatic Transplantation and Hepatobiliary/Pancreatic Surgical Oncology he was recruited to St. Joseph’s Health Centre, Toronto to develop and build this specialized surgical program.
