FnT 129: The Neurophysiological Benefits of Deep, Intentional Breath Work with Lee Davy

In today’s episode, we talk with Lee Day, an inspirational author, creator, speaker, retreat host, breathwork specialist and leader in global health, about the fundamental essence of life – breathing. Conscious breathing is said to transform our life, from managing anxiety and improving sleep to elevating athletic performance and finding clarity in the midst of chaos.

With Lee, we want to understand why normal breathing is simply not good enough for a good life, explore the incredible power and potential that lies within something as simple and innate as the act of breathing, shed light on the profound effects of proper breathing, and how deep, intentional breaths can positively influence our nervous system, promoting relaxation and enhancing focus. We also explore the age-old wisdom of various breathing practices from different cultures, including Pranayama from yoga, Qigong from traditional Chinese medicine, and Wim Hof's breathwork. These time-tested techniques have been used for centuries to improve physical performance, boost immune function, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. Breathe in, breathe out, and embark on this empowering journey towards better living through the power of breathing.
