“As an athlete, I always understood the importance of my breath; both as a tool for performance, and a means to control my nerves in big moments. Since working with Dylan and NKD, it feels like I’ve unlocked a superpower I knew was always there but just out of reach. I’ve gained immense knowledge to better understand my body’s chemical and psychological reactions to stressors, and learned data backed interventions I can use to feel and perform my best.”
“I have been working with the NKD team, for over three years to increase my overall performance, health and longevity. I have watched the team evolve in their understanding and stay at the forefront of the latest technology and research to deliver a complete and state of the art product which is now available to the public. Time spent learning and working through the system with their knowledgeable team has delivered tangible results in performance and equipped me with the right tools and breathing behaviors to significantly increase both mental and physical output. If you are looking to create a competitive edge, you've come to the right place.”
Dylan possesses a clear passion for human performance. His depth of understanding around cardiorespiratory function is impressive, particularly his knowledge of breathing physiology and its relationship to stress.
In 2019, Dylan worked alongside elements of the 1st NZSAS Regiment, where he educated our team on stress management and optimization. Dylan brought stress awareness and its effects to the forefront of our training outputs. He introduced breathing interventions to control arousal, both for inducing and reducing stress quickly, and played a crucial role in onboarding hi-tech biofeedback wearables adding science and real-time data tracking to ‘high stress’ training applications. Applying these we noted marked improvements in physical recovery, mental focus, and decision-making.
Working closely with Dylan was an enlightening experience towards understanding my body's relationship with breathing. Initially I was experiencing digestive issues, chest tightness, air hunger, and muscle pain in my shoulders disrupting my sleep, so I worked with Dylan to navigate these challenges.
Through our collaborative efforts, Dylan helped me discover profound insights into the underlying beliefs shaping my breathing habits. I had unknowingly developed misconceptions, believing that mouth-breathing could provide more oxygen and that deep chest breathing was good breathing due to the perceived importance of the lungs in the process.
Stark NKD detects when breathing mechanics & blood-gas chemistry are misaligned, causing elevated blood pH, loss of homeostasis & insufficient oxygen delivery to the brain & other vital functions.
Symptoms can be debilitating and impact at least 1 in 3 people.
Unique to the individual, they range from tingling, dizziness, dissociation, tetany, muscle tension, headaches, memory loss, emotional deregulation and more, to physical deficits including loss of accuracy, co-ordination, endurance and fitness.
Step into a new era of precision with Stark NKD & say goodbye to one-size-fits-all breathing exercises; embrace the future of science-driven personalization.
Explore real time data and insights to identify and eliminate your unique dysfunctional breathing habits.
Equip yourself with the ultimate tool to master your emotions, ensuring you step up when the pressure intensifies.
Your average respiratory rate is 14 breaths/minute. You regularly
experience reduced oxygen efficiency when: Chest breathing at a higher
than average respiratory rate.
Guided breathing & HRV biofeedback to improve vagal tone is only one side of the equation - learn how you can keep your blood-gas chemistry optimized throughout.
Strong vagal tone combined with balanced chemistry puts you in an excellent position to improve executive cognitive performance, as well as to enjoy better emotional and health regulation.
By training your resilience and measuring your progress, you will rise to any challenge.
Your optimal breathing rate to stimulate the baroreflex and improve vagal tone is 5 breaths/minute. Your chemistry was out of balance for up to 7 minutes: Practice breathing more gently with a lighter inhale.
% Time in physiologic balance at resonance

With patience and expertise, Dylan showed me the misconceptions of these beliefs, and how a reliance on chest breathing could exacerbate feelings of air hunger and contribute to my discomfort. Instead, I was introduced to the concept of allowing diaphragmatic breathing, emphasising its pivotal role in efficient oxygen exchange and overall well-being.
