Breathe Less | Live Longer | Niraj Naik Interview

Author: Pete Jacobs May 27, 2021 Duration: 1:09:43
This episode has special guest Niraj Naik, who is a leading breathwork teacher, and highly regarded health practitioner. He has some very interesting information on the importance of building carbon dioxide tolerance, which allows higher levels of oxygen into the cells. Niraj Naik – ex-pharmacist turned holistic health expert, founder of the international school of breathwork Soma Breath. He started his path in healing others, as a community pharmacist, yet after several years he found himself a patient of stress-related depression and ulcerative colitis. This was a wake-up call that made him embark on a journey of profound self-healing and education. Known internationally as the Renegade Pharmacist, Niraj is dedicated to educating others on topics of holistic health, breathwork, meditation, and more. In addition to his website and blog therenegadepharmacist.com, he has created many other brands related to health and healing. Thanks so much to Niraj for sharing this important perspective on breathwork and limiting our breath.

Finding a sustainable path to better health often feels like navigating a maze of conflicting advice. Live Your Own Fit | LYF Performance cuts through that noise with grounded conversations led by Pete Jacobs, a World Ironman Triathlon Champion, and his wife Jaimielle. This isn't just about extreme athleticism; it's about the practical, balanced choices that build a resilient life. You'll hear discussions that connect the dots between nutrition, daily movement, and the mental frameworks needed to stick with it. Pete naturally draws from his own journey to the pinnacle of endurance sports, not to prescribe a champion's regimen, but to share the broader lessons on mindset and perseverance that apply to anyone. The podcast operates on the principle that true fitness is deeply personal-it's the energy to keep up with your kids, the clarity to focus at work, and the vitality to enjoy your days. Each episode offers a blend of personal anecdotes, actionable lifestyle tips, and thoughtful dialogue aimed at helping you define what performance means in your own life. Tune in for a refreshingly honest take on building health from the ground up, where the goal is lasting well-being, not just a temporary fix.
