Episode 147 - Breathwork Training For Men Over 40 – Mental Recovery Techniques

Studies have shown that controlled breathing strengthens the
respiratory muscles and increases lung capacity. Deep breathing
improves cognitive functions and testosterone levels, which decline
as men age. Breathwork has additional physiological and mental
benefits that we will discuss in this episode.


I’ll share my experience with breathwork, including how power
breathing techniques helped me recover from cryptogenic organizing
pneumonia that had me on a deathbed. I’ll explain the difference
between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how
breathwork can help activate the body's natural parasympathetic
response. 


We’ll focus on diaphragmatic and deep breathing techniques and
their benefits. I will also provide practical tips on incorporating
these breathing techniques into your daily routine. However, the
best way to learn and implement breathwork properly is through
guided breathing sessions.


My 21-day breathwork program will help you implement breathing
techniques consistently for optimal health and recovery. Tune in to
learn the full benefits of breathwork and for further details on
the breathwork program.
