#29 - How Breathing Patterns Affect Our Stress Response

In this episode of the podcast I discuss the effect of breathing patterns on our stress response. I explore how certain patterns will increase our susceptibility to having high stress levels and reduce our ability to recover while others can actually downregulate the stress response and improve recovery. Topics covered include what stress is to our body, how breathing affects stress and simple techniques to downregulate the stress response.
