I’m back and today we’re going to talk

about something actually very

fascinating you may have never heard

about this before but it’s called

intermittent hypoxic training okay so

we’re gonna talk about the benefits of

intermittent hypoxic training or therapy

all right what is this well it’s a

training or therapy very similar to

training in high altitudes you’re giving

your body lower amounts of oxygen and

this is the key term intermittently okay

because if you cut down the oxygen too

low too long it can be dangerous just

like fasting is really good short term

but not for two years so by giving your

body a little doses of hypoxia a lack of

oxygen you can create an amazing

adaptation some of the videos I’ve done

recently we’re about giving the body

more oxygen right this is about taking

the oxygen away a lot of the top

athletes do this type of training to get

the unfair advantage number two chronic

lung diseases doing this training at the

right intervals under supervision can

increase your oxygen carrying capacity

greatly number three bronchial asthma

and by the way both of these right here

would benefit greatly from vitamin D as

well okay number four hypertension

five diabetes number six

brain damage let’s say for example you

had Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s doing

this training can cause your body to

just carry more oxygen and feed the

areas that are hypoxic number seven

radiation toxicity number eight

increasing of your antioxidant Network

when you put your body in a hypoxic

state it starts to rebound and starts

creating antioxidants like crazy number

nine it increases the number of

mitochondria Wow number ten and actually

I think this is the most amazing thing

it will increase not only the number of

red blood cells but the size of your red

blood cells so you can carry more oxygen

so you’re making super red blood cells

this is

amazing number 11 it helps release

excessive amounts of calcium from the

cell number 12 it’ll increase oxygen to

your tissues is probably why it helps

diabetes asthma and brain damage and

number 13 it decreases oxidative stress

all right so how do you do it you can

get a device like this which is a little

mask over your mouth right here where

you can breathe and you probably can’t

hear me but basically this restricts air

and you can use different settings that

will simulate different altitudes so

maybe you start at 3,000 feet and you

slowly go up to 19,000 feet and you’re

mimicking the amount of oxygen at

different altitudes and there’s other

ways to do it too one way is like you’re

on this bicycle and you’re breathing in

less amount of oxygen and more nitrogen

to create the same effect so one pattern

might look like between three to five

minutes of hypoxic air where you’re

breathing more co2 and then two to five

minutes of ambient normal air back and

forth for let’s say 45 minutes and then

what you can do is you can get a pulse

oximeter they’re very inexpensive you

can get them from Amazon and that’ll

measure the amount of oxygen in your

blood as your feedback mechanism now

before I did hyperbaric my oxygen was 95

and now it’s a hundred but when you’re

doing this training it’ll go down to 85

temporarily but then it goes right back

up to where you were so this is just

another tool that you can use to create

a hormetic effect which basically you’re

giving a small amount of stress and

tremendous body to rebound and adapt and

become even stronger alright thanks for
