Carbon Dioxide Tolerance
Carbon dioxide tolerance reflects comfort with slightly elevated CO₂ from slow breathing and breath holds. Training may calm stress but requires safe gradual practice.
Carbon dioxide tolerance is how comfortably you hold slightly elevated CO₂ from breath holds or slow breathing—linked to calmer stress responses in breathwork traditions. BOLT scores and controlled pauses train tolerance; do not practice underwater or while driving.
Start with exhale holds after normal inhales.
