Curious
Oxygen Advantage builds on the Buteyko method, but adds a specific focus on athletic performance, including simulated altitude training and CO2 tolerance work. The difference from much of what's labeled 'breathwork': the method itself is grounded in measurable physiology, not feeling alone, and that's exactly what makes the feeling you get from it real and traceable, not just assumed.
No, quite the opposite: while hyperventilation lowers CO2 levels, Oxygen Advantage specifically trains tolerance to higher CO2. Physiologically, that's nearly the reverse, not the same direction.
No. Functional Breathwork is training, not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment. If you're dealing with acute mental health challenges, written clearance from your treating professional is required before booking.
