Ashley Kumar, physical therapist and breathing specialist, joins Jeanne for this interesting conversation. We often think breathing is the most natural thing in the world so it must be impossible to do it wrong, right? Ashely enlightens us on how ill-equipped we are to breathe correctly and the serious consequences this has on our long-term health.

She also speaks to Jeanne about her panic disorder and how breathing techniques can help with panic attacks. One of the most significant steps in Jeanne's recovery journey was "belly-breathing." Ashley explains why this concept has been miscommunicated to patients and why we should really be practicing diaphragmatic breathing. She explains what this is, how to do it, and what the benefits are of doing it.

Ashley shares various breathing techniques and concepts in this episode with a step-by-step explanation.
