"How you breathe matters"

As shift workers, our body is already stressed by being out of sync with its circadian rhythm (Biological Clock)

The way we breathe is a window into which state of our autonomic nervous system we are in.

Are you in a sympathetic (fight or flight) or a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state?

During this episode I discuss

• The 3 sides of the autonomic nervous system
• The Enteric nervous system (ENS)
• The Sympathetic nervous system (SNS)
• The Parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS)
• How to check which state you are in
• How to get back into a parasympathetic state quickly.
• Why does it matter so much?
