The App includes protocols for physical habits, including but not limited to The Cold Reset (cold exposure) and Breath of Life (controlled breathing).

  • Consult a physician: You should consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new physical protocol, especially if you have pre-existing conditions, are pregnant, or have respiratory/cardiovascular issues.
