Key Takeaways
- Identify triggers – Track situations that increase aggression (e.g., sleep deprivation, hunger, specific social interactions).
- Breath control – Use cyclic sighing (double inhale through nose, long exhale) to reduce immediate aggression.
- Delay response – Implement a 90-second pause before reacting to aggressive impulses.
Supplements & Protocols Mentioned
- Omega-3s – 1-2g/day EPA/DHA to support emotional regulation.
- Magnesium L-Threonate – 200-400mg before sleep to reduce neural excitability.
Notable Quotes
“Aggression is a circuit, not a character trait—which means it can be rewired.”
Bottom Line
Control aggression by tracking triggers, using breathwork for instant calm, and supplementing with omega-3s and magnesium. Always pause before reacting.
