I have always been a fan of breath work, especially in the way that it has not only been so helpful for my own life and the anxiety that I have struggled with -- but I have literally seen it change the people's lives that I work with. Breath work is integral to our ability to emotionally regulate -- to stay calm and connected, not only with ourselves, but with others. In this episode I explore:

• the book that really shifted my belief in breath work
• some tools that I recommend for breath work
• my 110 day experiment with taping my mouth shut at bedtime
• helpful apps to practice breath work
• why breath work is so critical.
• how my anxiety levels decreased drastically and my sleep increased drastically.
• varying breath work methods I used in my running and weight lifting training.

Here are some of the Things/People that I mention in this episode:

• Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor
• Art of Manliness Interview with James Nestor
• Headspace app
• Calm app
• Don't Panic app
• Breathwrk app
