Full Power cultivates self-awareness and a positive mindset, and provides a foundation of behaviors and habits that can empower and transform, and enhance your enjoyment and engagement in life.
Whether you are an elite athlete looking to squeeze that extra 10% improvement, or a chronic illness sufferer restoring basic breathing and heart rate and nervous system function, or anything in between, this program will move the needle for you.

Your Commitment If you’re already working out, expect an additional 30 minutes a day. Including some seated and some moving breathing exercises, and HRV biofeedback. As well as sleeping with mouth tape on. Or at least aiming to achieve that. And 4 one-hour Zoom (or in-person if local) coaching meetings with me.
The Breathing Most athletes train everything except their breathing, leaving 10% performance on the table. Breathing is the remote control of your nervous system. And your nervous system determines your experience of life. Learn to control your breathing, and you learn to control your performance. The breathing component of Full Power is based on Oxygen Advantage https://oxygenadvantage.com/, designed to improve functional and performance breathing.
Over the course of the program, we establish your personal breathing baselines, learn about the biomechanics, biochemistry, and psychology around breathing performance and improvement, build and execute a program to normalize and optimize your breathing, track progress and adjust as needed.
Exercises include reduced breathing, meditation, nasal-only workouts, mouth taping at night, cadence breathing (like box breathing), light and strong breath holds, breath separation, hypoxic hypercapnic training, and use of Buteyko Belt and SportsMask. To improve CO2 tolerance, O2 exchange, calm breathing patterns, and train you to relax into difficult situations. Each person’s program will be customized (and continuously recalibrated) to meet you where you are.
Communication Daily text check-ins from me. Communication is powerful tool for change. You will miss a lot if you do not communicate. In fact, lack of communication is one thing that keeps people sub-optimal. And finding your voice opens the world to you.
Why is HRV a big deal? Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a key indicator of the resilience of your nervous system, long before you have symptoms. It tells you how ready you are to engage, or whether you need to recover. Many of us have no idea how compromised or burned out we are until we get a symptom. HRV provides that information before you reach burnout. So you can much more quickly get back on track of robust health.
A healthy heart and nervous system respond nimbly to your needs; your heart rate varies constantly and dynamically. An exhausted heart and nervous system become a metronome: very little variability.
So we take a hard look at HRV.
HRV directly correlates to blood pressure, breath rate, and heart rate. Which correlate to state of mind, and sense of calm and peace. In this program, HRV measurement and biofeedback will be used to supplement and optimize breathing and performance targets. The goal is for you to achieve greater awareness, relaxation, and overall feeling of wellness and strength, as well as greater faith in your own body as a machine to propel you through the experiences you want in life.
Using the Lief device, we will track HRV as well as learn to modulate it. To bring yourself back into a resilient state more quickly. Ultimately, so that you no longer need the device for feedback; you learn to feel your body’s states and can change them at will.
Which is true freedom.
Why Biofeedback? Because biofeedback is one of the most powerful technologies humans and nature have ever invented. It allows you to directly improve yourself, through your own signals, to yourself. And to see the changes objectively, measurable. You learn to recognize your own internal state, something many of us simply have become deaf to, or never learned to feel. You learn to change your second nature.
Learning About Lief For many of you, I will use the Lief device for HRV monitoring and biofeedback. You’ll be wearing it for a few hours a day. It is a clinical grade EKG patch that sits on your left chest wall and directly reads your heart signals. It calibrates to your body’s specific HRV and uses haptic feedback to cue breathing changes when your HRV moves below a configurable level. You can’t manage what you can’t measure. And like driving without headlights at night, most of us aren’t aware of our state. HRV biofeedback will begin to move you into state awareness.
