A Healthy Shift

[279] - Breathe. Regulate. Transform.

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

In this episode, I share how breathwork techniques can completely transform the lives of shift workers, first responders, and frontline health workers by helping regulate the autonomic nervous system and release stored trauma.

I know this firsthand—my own journey with transformative breathwork led to profound healing from PTSD and inspired me to become a certified breathwork facilitator.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

  • Why so many shift workers live in a constant state of fight or flight due to improper breathing
  • How the autonomic nervous system responds directly to our breathing patterns
  • The power of upregulation through box breathing (4-4-4-4) to sharpen focus before demanding tasks
  • How downregulation through 4-7-8 breathing helps calm the nervous system after stress
  • How transformative breathwork can temporarily alter blood chemistry to access and release stored trauma
  • The role of controlled hyperventilation in reducing CO₂ levels and creating respiratory alkalosis
  • Why this unique physiological state can lead to profound emotional releases and deep healing
  • My personal, life-changing results through guided transformative breathwork sessions
  • How proper breathing techniques can truly be your superpower for managing workplace stress

If this episode resonates with you, I’d love for you to subscribe and leave a rating and review—it helps more shift workers discover these tools.
