In this episode of the Rianto Astono Podcast, host Rianto Astono interviews Gobind Vashdev, an Indian‑Indonesian practitioner who combines trauma‑healing work, Wim Hof training, and the Buteyko breathing method. Gobind shares his personal health journey—from a frail childhood, through a near‑miss bombing in Bali, to discovering the power of breath control. He explains the origins of the Buteyko method (Konstantin Buteyko, Soviet‑Ukrainian physician), its physiological basis (hyperventilation, CO₂ tolerance, Bohr effect, nasal nitric‑oxide production), and how it differs from other popular breathing protocols such as Wim Hof, Oxygen Advantage, and “coffee‑breathing”. Gobind outlines the practical NLSD protocol (Nose, Light, Slow, Deep), recommended training frequency (2‑5 sessions per day for about a month), and the BOLT/hold‑time benchmarks (≈25‑40 s). He discusses measurable benefits—improved CO₂ tolerance, lower resting breathing rate, better sleep, reduced snoring, enhanced immune response, and potential support during the COVID‑19 pandemic. The conversation also covers practical tools (the BreadBall app, breath‑hold tests, nasal plasters), the importance of nasal breathing for nitric‑oxide, hydration, and parasympathetic activation, and details about Gobind’s weekly online Buteyko classes, registration process, and related emotional‑release workshops. Throughout, Gobind emphasizes that breath is a modifiable tool for autonomic regulation, and that consistent, low‑volume nasal breathing can act like a “fasting” of the respiratory system, yielding health‑span benefits.
