Why Hustle Culture Is Destroying Women's Health—and How to Fix It with Breathwork with JJ Ruescas

Human optimization strategist JJ Ruescas explores the transformative power of breathwork—especially when tailored to women's physiology.

We talk about regulating your nervous system, avoiding burnout, and embracing "micro" moments of recovery that actually support your biology instead of fighting against it.

Whether you're juggling work and motherhood or trying to optimize without burning out, this episode will help you create rituals that are cyclical, embodied, and backed by science.

12:20 – Identity shifts and burnout in hustle culture

18:00 – Breathwork vs. plant medicine: How to access altered states naturally

25:00 – Why high-altitude oxygen shock shaped JJ's breathwork philosophy
