Episode 466. Today we dove into Nick's Vortex Method, how it helped him heal from injuries and master his energy, and why holding your breath can literally make your heart stronger.
Nick even shared some insane stories - like passing out during breathwork (while driving, no less) and how he turned those experiences into a transformative practice anyone can use.
