[5] - How you breathe matters

Text me what you thought of the show 😊 "How you breathe matters" As shift workers, our body is already stressed by being out of sync with its circadian rhythm (Biological Clock) The way we breathe is a window into which state of our autonomic nervous system we are in. Are you in a sympathetic (fight or flight) or a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state? During this episode I discuss The 3 sides of the autonomic nervous system The Enteric nervous system (ENS) The Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) The Parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) How to check which state you are in How to get back into a parasympathetic state quickly. Why does it matter so much?
