Today, I sit down with breathwork expert Joseph Sandall to explore the profound impact that intentional breathing can have on mental health, especially for anyone navigating anxiety and depression. 🌬️

We dive into the science behind how breathwork soothes the nervous system, and Joseph shares specific breathing styles designed to alleviate anxiety and depression, explaining how each technique is uniquely effective. From calming breath patterns to energizing practices, we explore how these styles differ and why they work.

We also discuss why our society often pushes quick fixes, like pills, over integrative tools that promote true healing. Whether you're new to breathwork or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation is full of insights you won’t want to miss.

In this conversation, I sit down with Brandon Evans founder of 1heart Ayahuasca center. Before running 1heart Brandon was a highly successful tech entrepreneur. He founded and led tech companies valued at nearly half a billion dollars and built multiple eight and nine-figure startups by age 35. By 36, he had raised $20 million for his latest venture from prominent West Coast VCs. But when it came time to raise another round of funding, something in him shifted. 

Despite all the external success, he realized there was little purpose or joy in his life.

After hesitating to raise more funds, his investors asked him to step down. This moment became the wake-up call he needed. For the first time, Brandon took a step back to examine his life and saw that something had to change. He set out on a journey of self-discovery, which led him to ayahuasca and other healing modalities.

Now, Brandon has helped over a thousand people—including leaders from around the world—do the same, guiding them to reconnect with their purpose and find true fulfillment.

Sometimes, it takes a massive shift to help us reconnect with what really matters, and for Brandon, it was the start of a whole new path filled with deeper meaning and joy.

Logan, a registered nurse, faced a personal struggle with eczema, realizing that despite his medical background, conventional medicine wasn’t addressing the root cause of his condition. After years of frustration, and seeing this playout with many patients he was treating, he left traditional medicine to explore holistic healing approaches that focused on true wellness.

In this video, Logan shares his profound insight: You need to become the CEO of your healing journey. While it’s important to bring in experts like healers, coaches, or even plant medicine to help guide you, no one can save you but yourself. These experts are like consultants—they offer tools and wisdom—but at the end of the day, you're the only one who can dig deep within yourself to truly do what is required to heal.

His journey highlights the importance of taking charge of your health, especially when facing challenges that medicine alone can't solve. By empowering yourself and looking deeper, you can reclaim your power and begin a healing process that creates lasting wellness.

Traditional medicine is crucial for saving lives in critical situations, but when it comes to chronic illness, medication often only manages symptoms rather than solving the root cause. 

Nicole Ritter from Ritter Functional Health talks about how functional medicine can fill this gap. By running comprehensive labs that look ‘under the hood,’ functional medicine uncovers what traditional approaches may miss, offering a path to root cause healing. 

This emerging conversation about managing symptoms versus healing is why I always recommend functional medicine for both mental and physical health issues alongside your traditional medicine doctor.

True emotional freedom is often not prioritized in our upbringing or education. From a young age, we're conditioned to believe that external achievements—like possessions, careers, or relationships—are the keys to happiness. 

While many seek financial freedom, emotional liberation frees us from being prisoners to our feelings. The journey begins by confronting our deepest emotional pain. When we learn to manage this pain, navigating life's ups and downs becomes significantly easier.

Nearly 65 million Americans — 1 in 5 people — are currently taking prescribed mental health medications to regulate these fluctuations. However, it's important to recognize that while medication can provide relief, true healing involves addressing the root causes of anxiety or depression. 

It's the inner work that leads to liberation, true healing, peace, and lasting happiness.

Anxiety and depression often carry deeper meanings – they can be powerful messengers, guiding us towards important truths. Kayla’s story is a powerful example of this. 

Kayla struggled with a sudden onset of a range of symptoms, from autoimmune and stroke like symptoms to diagnoses like bipolar disorder, panic disorder, anxiety, and depression spanning for years. Despite numerous treatments and misdiagnoses, her intuition persisted, urging her to seek deeper answers.

Unexpectedly, she uncovered a startling revelation – her decade-long battle stemmed not from her mental health, but from her breast implants, a college graduation gift she gave to herself. Medication merely masked the deeper issues her body was signaling.

Kayla’s journey sheds a light on a common societal oversight – the tendency to diagnose and address mental health challenges in isolation, without probing their deeper roots. It’s a wake-up call, urging us to look beyond symptoms and uncover the underlying causes of these struggles.

Throughout her journey to recovery, Kayla faced skepticism and pushback from medical professionals and others who disregarded her intuition. Her story compels us to reassess our approach to mental health care, advocating for a shift towards practices that prioritize understanding the origins of issues rather than just managing symptoms. As once she targeted the root cause, the symptoms and misdiagnoses had disappered. Kayla’s experience underscores the significance of trusting our inner wisdom, even when met with doubt and skepticism. 

Kayla’s story serves as a testament to the transformative power of listening to the whispers of our bodies. As Ignoring these subtle cues only serves to amplify their desperate pleas for attention. 

True healing, she reminds us, lies not in merely treating symptoms but in embracing the profound wisdom that resides within each of us.

For 20 years, I was on the birth control pill for acne, irregular periods, and PCOS. Throughout my adult years, I struggled with extreme bloating, swelling, fatigue, abnormal cellulite, and anxiety.

When I suspected the pill was causing these symptoms, my concerns were dismissed by conventional doctors. They assured me it was either all in my head or that the pill was the only solution.

Trusting my intuition, I stopped taking the pill. The bloating, swelling, fatigue, and cellulite began to dissipate, but I faced new issues like cystic acne and facial hair growth. Although I realized the pill was causing my initial problems, I was unsure how to address these new symptoms.

Holistic practitioners like Dr. Lana helped me understand the full picture. Birth control, originally for contraception, had been repurposed to treat symptoms that indicate underlying health issues. The pill often causes cellulite, bloating, and mental health issues by disrupting gut health, causing inflammation, and depleting essential vitamins and minerals. These issues can be resolved through lifestyle changes, diet, exercise, and supplementation.

While some would say birth control has empowered women and advanced our rights, it has also disconnected us from the very essence of womanhood—our intuition and creative source. Being connected to our bodies and natural cycles is crucial for our overall well-being. Our menstrual cycles are not just a reproductive function but a vital sign of health, reflecting our internal balance. By tuning into these natural rhythms, we can better understand our bodies’ needs and foster a deeper connection with ourselves.

TY to Dr. Lana at @DrLanaWellness and as always, reach out to @yourconsciousconcierge to explore your options in the world of wellness, wellbeing, and optimization.
