Exercise first, therapy second. Sleep better with regular exercise - it's been proven to have mental health benefits too! See my FULL Interview with Dr. Dan Ritchie Functional Aging Institute Institute on YouTube. It's LIVE NOW https://youtu.be/LrjD-xptvNI

My overall health and well-being is my #1 priority. If I have my health, I am rich and strong on EVERY level. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Dr. Dan Ritchie on the why's of aging well. If you're going to live until your 80's, how do you want your 80's to feel? For me, I want to be as active and healthful as possible. When our physical health is good, this translates into good mental health. Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. It can be your favorite activity like walking your dog. The point is, stay active, move your body, engage your mind into the present moment. About Dr. Dan Ritchie: Dr. Dan Ritchie started his fitness career at Southeast Missouri State University with a bachelor’s degree in Fitness and Sports Medicine and then spent a year as a graduate assistant coaching Division 1 athletes. He completed his master’s degree in Health & Physical Education at the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater, where he won the 2002 Thesis of the Year. Then Dan continued as a Lynn Fellow at Purdue University, completing his PhD in Kinesiology with a minor in Gerontology. Since 2007 Dan has owned and operated Miracles Fitness in West Lafayette, Indiana, where he and his staff have trained over 2000 clients.

Today we talk with Adam about breathing and the nervous system. Breathing plays a crucial role in influencing the nervous system, particularly the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS is responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and respiratory rate. It consists of two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The SNS is associated with the body's "fight-or-flight" response, which prepares the body for action and stress. On the other hand, the PNS is responsible for the body's "rest-and-digest" response, promoting relaxation, rest, and recovery. The way we breathe directly affects the balance between these two branches of the autonomic nervous system. Here's how: 👉 Sympathetic Activation: When we breathe rapidly and shallowly, particularly in response to stress or anxiety, it stimulates the SNS. This leads to an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This type of breathing pattern can heighten feelings of anxiety, tension, and arousal. 👉 Parasympathetic Activation: On the other hand, slow, deep, and diaphragmatic breathing activates the PNS. This type of breathing signals the body to relax, triggering the relaxation response. It helps slow down the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and reduce the production of stress hormones. Deep breathing can induce a sense of calmness, improve focus, and promote overall well-being. 👉 Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Breathing also influences heart rate variability, which is the variation in time intervals between heartbeats. High HRV is associated with better overall health and a more flexible autonomic nervous system. Slow, deep breathing has been shown to increase HRV, indicating a shift towards parasympathetic activation and a more balanced nervous system. In summary, slow, deep, and diaphragmatic breathing can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and help restore balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. It can be an effective tool for managing stress, anxiety, and improving overall well-being. Adam Hart is a leading expert in nervous system regulation and how to get unstuck.

Here's a great technique to help keep you warm with those frigid temps! #lifewithbreath #breathasmedicine #cold #coldplunge #coldwater #coldwatertherapy

How well do you "know thyself" and what are the distractions that keep you from knowing thyself? In this clip with @joshtrentofficial of @wellnessforce , we dive into the aspects of getting to know what's driving you when you are doing and not BE'ing. Josh gives a great practice that involves breath, journaling and BE'ing in communion with a partner. When we engage in practices like these for ourselves, we are CREATING ACTS OF SELF-LOVE! 👀 OUR FULL INTERVIEW HERE https://www.youtube.com/live/gmrxTcGYx0g?feature=share

Love this clip when John Douillard @lifespa talks about the "co-existance of opposites in dynamic activity" meaning it's possible to experience balance in the autonomic nervous system during physical exercise WHEN YOU'RE NASAL BREATHING. I am ALWAYS applying the Ocean Sounding Breath when exercising. It's a truly awesome technique to improve breath patterns in high heart rates AND trigger parasympathetic activity. John shares the research they were able to capture with nasal breathing and a 50/50 balance in the autonomic nervous system as well as flow states. 👉 WATCH FULL EPISODE HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVndgrTF8Ts 👃LEARN HOW TO TRAIN YOURSELF & YOUR CLIENTS IN NASAL DOMINANCE IN FITNESS & EXERCISE WITH OUR 15-HR BREATH AS MEDICINE TRAINING ... 👀 HERE https://www.edharrold.com/breath-as-medicine-fitness-e-learni You can also experience my nasal dominance workouts in @TheBreathSource App 📲link in bio to download OR CLICK HERE https://thebreathsource.pxf.io/edharrold

Alternate Nostril Breathing is a fabulous breathing exercise to help you reduce stress. Alternate nostril breathing, also known as Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, is a breathing technique that has been practiced in yoga for centuries. It involves breathing through one nostril while blocking the other, and then alternating sides. This technique has been shown to have a calming effect on the mind and body, which can be helpful in reducing stress and anxiety. One reason alternate nostril breathing is effective in reducing stress is that it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" response in the body. This response helps to counteract the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. When we are stressed, our sympathetic nervous system becomes activated, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, alternate nostril breathing helps to reduce these physical symptoms of stress. In addition, alternate nostril breathing can also help to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Research has shown that when we are stressed, our brain activity tends to be more dominant in the left hemisphere, which is associated with analytical thinking and rationality. By practicing alternate nostril breathing, we can stimulate both hemispheres of the brain, leading to a greater sense of balance and calm. Try it and let me know what you think! I recommend 20 rounds with a round being a complete cycle through each nasal channel. You can see this FULL video @thebreathsource App. First week is FREE!
