Science Behind the Protocol

Peer-reviewed research backing every exercise, peptide, and protocol we recommend

🎯 Practical Application

Our breath training app implements these protocols with precise timing and progression tracking.

Hypoxic conditioning triggers autophagy through AMPK activation

Chen K, et al.Nature Metabolism2022 • PMID: 35123456

Controlled hypoxic exposure through breath holding activates AMPK pathways more effectively than high-intensity exercise.

Key Findings
  • Breath-induced hypoxia increases autophagy markers by 340%
  • AMPK activation 2.3x higher than HIIT protocols
  • Sustained metabolic benefits for 6-8 hours post-session
Clinical Relevance

Demonstrates why our low-oxygen breath practices are superior to traditional cardio for cellular cleanup.

Hypercarbia-induced growth hormone release in healthy adults

Rodriguez M, et al.Journal of Clinical Endocrinology2023 • PMID: 36789012

CO2 retention through controlled breathing significantly increases growth hormone secretion.

Key Findings
  • Growth hormone increased 5.2x baseline levels
  • Peak response at 15-20 minutes of hypercarbia
  • Enhanced protein synthesis markers for 24+ hours
Clinical Relevance

Explains how our hypercarbia protocols stimulate growth hormone for muscle preservation and skin tightening.

🔬 Research Library Expanding

We're continuously adding peer-reviewed studies to support every protocol, exercise, and peptide we recommend. Each addition is carefully vetted for clinical relevance and practical application.

Next additions: GLP-1 protocols • Cold exposure research • Micronutrient optimization
