Do you ever feel short of breath or find yourself holding your breath? Can you feel stress and tension in your body? Of course, you do, you’re human and you’re living in the year 2020. In this episode, Trina interviews Melanie Connell a Physical Therapist and Nutritional Health Coach who shares the benefits of breathing properly and how we can become stress-resilient. This episode is both insightful and super practical as we discuss different breathing techniques that you can do any time and anyplace to calm your autonomic nervous system (learn how to go from fight/flight to rest and digest mode). Melanie, also, shares why carbon dioxide matters and teaches us how to test our carbon dioxide tolerance.
