The Breathing Diabetic, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 11. At age 30, he began practicing simple breathing exercises that helped improve his blood sugars, improve his sleep, and increase his energy levels, all of which helped him better manage his diabetes. Having a background in scientific research, Nick wanted to understand the inner workings of breath to not only be able to explain the reason behind the changes he was experiencing, but to exploit and push the boundaries of breath therapy.  This curiosity led him on a deep quest to understand the science behind breathing its implications on the human physiology. By means of the The Breathing Diabetic platform he generously shares and breaks down complex pieces of wisdom for all to understand and make use of. Nick’s formal education is in atmospheric science, and he is also a certified Oxygen Advantage instructor.Support the show🌿 Follow us on Instagram (@vitalveda)🌿 Our Courses🌿 Our Treatments🌿 Our Online Shop🌿 Vital Veda Website
