Is C02 Therapy The Ultimate Biohack?

About this episode

This episode explores the benefits of carbon dioxide therapy and its impact on health and performance.

In today's episode, we're taking a detour from our usual peptide discussions to dive into one of my absolute favorite biohacking devices: the carbon dioxide therapy inhaler from CarboGenetics. I know what you're thinking—why would we want to inhale CO2 when we usually focus on getting more oxygen? It all comes down to a fascinating physiological mechanism called the Bohr effect. I'll break down the science of how inhaling small amounts of carbon dioxide actually forces your hemoglobin to release more oxygen into your tissues, significantly boosting cerebral blood flow, accelerating wound healing, and enhancing exercise performance. We'll explore the history of CO2 therapy, from ancient volcanic vents to modern clinical studies showing impressive results in tumor oxygenation and hearing recovery. I'll also share my personal routine for using the device, including the optimal concentrations and timing for morning wakefulness, pre-workout endurance, and afternoon brain energy. Whether you're a hard-charging entrepreneur looking to regulate your nervous system or an athlete wanting an edge in the gym, this affordable biohack might just be the missing piece in your wellness routine…
