Dr Lucy chats with Dr Avi Charlton, a low-carb doctor turned breathwork facilitator, about the transformative power of functional breathing. Learn how improper breathing—like mouth breathing or rapid breaths—can worsen anxiety, disrupt sleep, and even impact conditions like asthma and heart disease. Dr Avi explains why nose breathing is vital for better oxygenation, stress reduction, and overall health, thanks to its ability to filter air, retain moisture, and produce nitric oxide. She also shares practical tips like the LSD technique (Light, Slow, Deep) to improve your breathing habits and how nose breathing during exercise can boost performance. Discover how ancient breathwork practices are now being embraced in modern medicine to enhance well-being naturally.
