As we're all aware, the simple act of breathing is an essential part of our lives. Yet, how many of us have taken the time to truly contemplate the power it holds over our health? In our latest episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Chuck McGee, an enthusiastic breathwork coach. He walks us through his intriguing health journey and enlightens us on the transformative potential of conscious breathwork.

We begin by discussing how adjusting common routines like the way we sit, stand or even use our mobile devices can affect our health. Chuck provides us with a deeper understanding of various breathing techniques, such as mouth taping and lateral expansion of the lower ribs. You'll be surprised to learn how these simple changes can lower stress levels and drastically improve your wellbeing. We also delve into the benefits of nasal breathing and its role in enhancing sleep, reducing sympathetic tone, and improving oral health.
