A body's primitive reaction to stress was to either flee or fight. In order to cope with this, a body’s normal reaction to stress was to change its breathing rate and depth to be able to remove the excess CO² that this produced. Although survival flight and fight reactions no longer apply to the stresses we now face, our reaction at a physiological level remains the same. |

Life’s daily stresses can easily hold our body in a stress survival reaction for long periods of time, leading to routinely breathe out too much CO³. When this happens, the normal breathing trigger of CO² is never reached, and the brain gradually resets itself to trigger breathing at a lower level. This leads to a body which constantly lives being unable to fully utilize the O² it has breathed in, with all the health compromises that that involves. Doing a course of breathing exercises with a capnotrainer to provide biofeedback, enables us to reset the breathing trigger to a normal healthy level.
