Ep060 - Getting the performance edge with the power of breath, Reis Paluso

Do you know much about the science of breathing? Me neither.   What is it about the Wim Hof Method and cold exposure that enhances performance exactly? I'm keen to find out why by interviewing my pal, Reis Paluso, CEO of Our Breath Collective who joins me from San Diego, California. About Reis From summiting mountains in Poland in sub-zero temperatures (wearing only shorts!) to better handling the daily stress of being a father and being a serial entrepreneur, breathwork has been the catalyst for Reis to find his inner-strength and hone in on his passions. By sharing progressive, yet simple practices to help upgrade one’s life, Reis is focused on bringing a multidisciplinary approach to breathing where individuals are empowered to build their own self-regulatory tool kit. So naturally, I'm interested in asking Reis about the science of breathing and cold exposure therapy and how corporate athletes (you!) can benefit from trying breathwork to, not only downregulate ourselves under stress, but to gain mental clarity and enhance performance. As a breathwork enthusiast, I am really excited to be chatting with Reis on this fascinating topic.
