Carbon dioxide therapy has become a highly debated and often misunderstood topic.
Is elevated CO2 beneficial, or could it pose risks? What exactly are the advantages of CO2 therapy, and how might it impact your health?
In this episode, you’ll get to explore the transformative power of breathing with breathwork expert Anders Olsson. From the benefits of food-grade CO2 cylinders to advanced breathing techniques that can boost both mental and physical well-being, Anders shares invaluable insights. As the author of Conscious Breathing: Discover The Power Of Your Breath and creator of tools like the Relaxator and CarboHaler, he guides you through the profound impact breathwork has on emotions and stress management.

Anders Olsson is a breath coach, author, keynote speaker, inventor, and founder of the Conscious Breathing Institute. Anders joins me on the podcast to bring clarity to the benefits, potential concerns, and safe applications of CO₂ therapy. After living most of his life with a high inner stress and a racing mind, Anders was fortunate enough to come across tools that have helped him relax and find his inner calm. The most powerful of these tools has undoubtedly been to change his breathing habits, which made Anders decide to become the world’s most prominent expert in breathing.
That was 15 years ago, and since then, he has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to achieve better health and an improved quality of life. Anders is the author of the best-selling book Conscious Breathing: Discover The Power of Your Breath and the co-inventor of the Relaxator, Sleep Tape, CarboHaler, and BodyStream CO2 Bath.
He is considered an authority on CO2 therapy and coaches high-level executives and elite athletes. In 2018, Anders facilitated and participated in a groundbreaking three-week breathing study at Stanford, highlighted in James Nestor’s book Breath.
