On Episode 5 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast with Steve Scott, Karim Delgado from Brain Mechanics shows us his advanced multimodal approach to Alzheimer's, brain health and improving overall well-being.

We dive deep into fascia work and how our memories or sensations are stored within there. How with trauma and stress our fascia is constricted around our organs and other parts of the body and how carbon dioxide therapy helps to release the contraction allowing the fascia to expand.

The approach used at Brain Mechanics involves collaborating with a diverse range of health experts measuring many aspects of human physiology as well as deploying technologies to help facilitate change.

Karim has created a really unique and dynamic approach that I think you will find very interesting.

Please let us know your experiences with Alzheimer's in the comments below.

Episode 2 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast I’m excited to have Billy Craig. Billy started his career as an engineer for Rolls Royce where he developed the analytical understanding of how things work while not relying on assumptions but in measuring and validating. After being hit by a drunk driver and almost losing his ability to walk he was motivated to move into the fitness industry which helped restore his health and get back closer to sport. He is now a UK based independent health and nutrition researcher while completing his PHD focusing on disordered eating, compensatory behaviours, learned helplessness and metabolic adaption.

On episode 1 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast we are joined by Bud Weiss.  Bud is one of the first in the US to study and teach the Buteyko breathing method with over 25 years of experience. He worked with Alexander Stalmatsky and his protege Chris Drake to setup seminars helping apply the breathing principles to their particular illnesses. 

As of late he is retired due to family obligations but still continues to work one-on-one with individuals while continuing to explore the physiological, emotional and spiritual aspects and implication of Buteyko’s work and the vital importance of CO2 and it’s mechanisms for creating health on all levels.
