The High Performer’s Daily Stack: Breathing, Focus, Recovery

High performance isn’t random.

It’s engineered.

The best performers don’t rely on motivation — they design their day for oxygen, clarity, and control.

This is the exact daily stack used by top performers to stay sharp, focused, and recovered — powered by Labore Nasal Strips.


🧠 Morning: Set the System

Start by shifting from sleep state to focused state.

1. Nasal Strip On
Apply a Labore Nasal Strip the moment you wake up — opens airways and kickstarts oxygen flow.

2. Breath Block

  • 4s inhale / 6s exhale

  • 5 minutes, nasal only

  • Anchor your nervous system for calm energy

3. Focus Fuel (Optional):

  • Lion’s Mane for cognitive clarity

  • Blue light glasses to protect brain from artificial light

  • Cold shower to reinforce alertness

🟢 Outcome: Calm, alert, high-oxygen baseline to start work.


💻 Midday: Stay in Deep Work

Most people crash after lunch. High performers don’t.

1. Strip Still On (or Reapply)
Keeps nasal dominance during focus blocks

2. Deep Work Cycles

  • 90 minutes on, 10 off

  • Every 30 minutes → 10 deep nasal breaths

  • No phone, no shallow mouth breathing

3. Optional Stacks:

  • CBD (microdose) to reduce overactivation

  • Walk outside (nasal breathing only) to reset state

🟢 Outcome: Sustained mental performance without burnout.


🧘♂️ Afternoon Reset: Avoid the Crash

The 3PM crash is optional — if you reset right.

1. Strip On or Still Active
No coffee needed. Oxygen = natural fuel.

2. 5-Min Breath Reset
4s in / 6s out → 5 minutes
With eyes closed or during movement

3. Optional Support:

  • Light stretching

  • Cold exposure or walk in sunlight

  • Music without lyrics to calm stimulation

🟢 Outcome: Nervous system reset. Focus restarts clean.


🌙 Night: Recover Hard

You don’t grow in action. You grow in sleep.

1. Strip On for Sleep
Improves oxygenation, reduces wakeups, enhances REM/deep cycles

2. Pre-Sleep Ritual:

  • CBD (full dose) to calm cortisol

  • Screens off or blue light glasses

  • 10 nasal breaths → 4s in / 6s out

3. Optional:

  • Gratitude list

  • Stretch / box breathing

🟢 Outcome: Nervous system drops into parasympathetic state → real sleep, real recovery.


❌ What Not to Include in Your Stack

  • Mouth breathing (destroys nervous system control)

  • Magnetic nose bands (hype, not performance)

  • Random hacks with no structure

  • Overreliance on caffeine, no oxygen work

These things add noise, not performance.


✅ Summary: The High Performer’s Stack

Phase Tools Outcome
Morning Nasal Strip, Breathing, Lion’s Mane Calm clarity
Midday Strip, Focus Blocks, CBD Microdose Deep work endurance
Afternoon Breath Reset, Light Movement Avoid crash, maintain flow
Night Nasal Strip, CBD, Pre-sleep ritual Deep recovery, high HRV

Final Word: Performance Is Breathed, Not Hacked

High performers don’t “hope” for energy.
They structure it — breath by breath.

Labore Nasal Strips are the anchor of that structure.
From first inhale to final sleep.

Build the system. Win the day.
Outwork yesterday.
