Ep 12. Breathwork with Cathy Scanlon PhD

I am excited to talk about breathwork as it really was life changing for me. Cathy has a PhD in neuroscience and left academia to become a full time breath work coach. You might have heard of and tried “breathwork” but “breathwork” comes in lots of different forms. Think of it like “exercise”. You might have tried one type but never found a form that you found life changing or even effective. In this episode we talk about our experiences with breathwork and why we became breathwork facilitators. It really did change the path of my life, and I’m excited to bring it to more people. The breath is powerful for both exciting and de-exciting the nervous system. There is an excellent feature on the Whoop app, in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Huberman, that allows you to select which option you need given your current stress levels. Once again, this episode is kindly sponsored by Whoop. I’m sure you know by now that Whoop is a wearable fitness tracker that specializes in breaking down your recovery, sleep, and workouts, while also helping you to manage your overall health and wellbeing.
