Breathwork devices

I've heard about tools like Powerbreathe that claim to strengthen the respiratory muscles. I'm curious, do you think we can achieve similar results through breathwork alone, without using any external devices? If you have any recommendations on breathwork techniques that work well for enhancing respiratory muscle strength, I'd love to hear them! By the way, I've also come across the Wim Hof breathwork method - do you think it could be useful for this purpose? And, just out of curiosity, do you know if using devices like Powerbreathe can lead to better or faster improvements in respiratory muscles compared to breathwork alone? Thanks a lot!

Restless Legs Syndrome and Wim Hof breathing

Hey Dr. Andrew Huberman, I've got a Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) thing going on, but it's not every night, just some. On those nights, I gotta get up and walk around a bit. So, I was listening to Matt Walker's podcast, and he mentioned RLS might be linked to iron deficiency anemia, which kinda makes sense for me. But here's the weird part - when I do the Wim Hof breathing, I get the same leg symptoms: tingling, like mini-cramps, feeling the need to move them, … Is there any known or suspected possible explanation for why I experience this with this type of breathing practice? Thanks for any insights you can share!
