Your Longevity Blueprint

217: Halotherapy (Salt Therapy) with Leo Tonkin


Listen Later

I am excited to have Leo Tonkin joining us today. Leo is a passionate advocate for Halotherapy. He believes the respiratory system is the key to longevity and quality of life because those who cannot breathe properly cannot live well.

Even though we take around 20,000 breaths daily, we often take our breath for granted. Unfortunately, our respiratory system degenerates as we age, and the air quality around us keeps deteriorating. So if we fail to care for our lungs, we can lose the ability to sleep, work, and live well, and that’s where Halotherapy, or salt therapy, can help us.

Benefits of Salt Therapy:

  • Clears mucus and reduces inflammation in the airways
  • It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal
  • Eases symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, COPD, and allergies
  • Helps prevent and relieve colds, flu, and sinus infections
  • Strengthens immune function, increases lung capacity, and improves breathing
  • Promotes deep and restful sleep
  • Safe for pets and people of all ages
  • Leo Tonkin's Bio:

    Leo Tonkin has been a pioneer in many industries, and in 2012, he revolutionized the salt therapy industry with his innovative approach and tireless dedication to transforming the way people think about their skin, respiratory, and mental wellness. 

    With a deep understanding of the science behind salt therapy and its benefits, Leo started SALT Chamber, the world’s leading salt therapy design, equipment, and decor company. 

    Over a decade ago, he created a global industry for providing a safe, drug-free, evidence-based modality that is ‘hacking’ into our respiratory and skin systems to enhance performance and recovery while improving quality of life. 

    In 2014, Leo was the Founding Chairman of the Salt Therapy Association, which now has over 3600+ members in 62 countries. 

    Understanding that air quality and climate change are major contributors to our well-being, he launched the Respiratory Wellness Initiative for the Global Wellness Institute. 

    He has a passion for making a difference in every breath we take, especially since being a Stage 4 cancer survivor. He lives in Delray Beach Florida, with his wife Lori. He has 4 grandchildren.
