Episode 1 - Bud Weiss on the Buteyko Method and the Importance of CO2 in Physiology

On episode 1 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast we are joined by Bud Weiss.  Bud is one of the first in the US to study and teach the Buteyko breathing method with over 25 years of experience. He worked with Alexander Stalmatsky and his protege Chris Drake to setup seminars helping apply the breathing principles to their particular illnesses.  As of late he is retired due to family obligations but still continues to work one-on-one with individuals while continuing to explore the physiological, emotional and spiritual aspects and implication of Buteyko’s work and the vital importance of CO2 and it’s mechanisms for creating health on all levels.
