We went back and forth co-creating an experience that came from the ethers. What a treat!!!! We actually separated this into a separate video you can enjoy on Ed's YouTube channel. Now, back to the interview . . . Jesse and I talked about how breathwork is a tool for transforming mindsets and belief systems, his work with first responders/police/military, awareness skills and how the reality is . . . NONE OF US ARE STUCK! You have the power to transform your mental and emotional patterns and it all starts with HOW you're breathing.👀 About Jesse Coomer:Since 2011, I have been an English Professor, and this year, after years of doing breathwork as my second job, I left academia to focus on my growing breathwork career. This passion turned into a profession back in 2016 when I was part of the first Wim Hof Method Instructor program. (I am no longer affiliated with Hof;) For years I was the English Professor who also taught people breathing techniques and cold training. In the early days, I was narrowly focused on Wim Hof, but in the years that followed, I began teaching mixed methods to my clients and in workshops. I even taught breathwork to my college students when I saw them getting extra stressed. In 2020, I self-published my first book, A Practical Guide to Breathwork: A Remedy for the Modern Human Condition, and it has quickly become one of the most recommended books on the topic of breathwork. In 2020 I also began working a lot with first responders, and this year I made breathwork history by creating the first-ever breath coach certification for first responder trainers which has just been accepted by one of the largest police academies in the USA, the Indianapolis Metro Police Academy. This year I also graduated my first class of breathworkers in The Language of Breath Philosophy, which is explained in this book. While I work with people of all backgrounds, much of my work recently has been in drug recovery and public safety. My goal is to bring a better understanding of what we are as humans to my clients so they can take positive actions to improve their lives and the world. www.jessecoomer.com📕 Jesse's Book: The Language of Breath: A Unified Philosophy of Breathwork and Self-AwarenessSynopsis: The book begins by explaining to readers that humans are an action-oriented species, heavily influenced by unconscious processes which make up our subjective experience. What we experience as physiological and emotional stress are signals from our unconscious which are meant to improve our chances of survival or move us to specific actions or behaviors. However, due to common misconceptions, we often misunderstand these communications, leading us to suffer from the same physiological and emotional responses which are actually meant to help us survive and thrive. Using interoception and breathing exercises (which cover a wide gamut of angles), this book offers a method of learning to form a better relationship with one’s unconscious-self. All of this is done with a tone and depth which is meant for the average person seeking to pick up breathwork or a current practitioner seeking to gain a more holistic understanding and practice.----------------------------------------------------------------To learn more about Ed Harrold and his "Life With Breath" applying "Breath AS Medicine" , visit www.edharrold.comBreathe with Jesse Coomer, Ed Harrold and many other talented breathwork teachers @TheBreathSource breathing app
Pushing Beyond Yourself In Fitness & Exercise Performance With Dan Duran, ISSA International by Ed Harrold
Exercise offers numerous benefits for brain health. Regular physical activity has been shown to have a positive impact on cognitive function and can help maintain and improve brain health in various ways. Here are some of the key benefits of exercise for the brain:Improved Cognitive Function: Exercise can enhance cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and executive function. It stimulates the release of neurotrophic factors like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which support the growth and maintenance of brain cells.Enhanced Mood: Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, which are natural mood elevators. Regular physical activity can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve overall emotional well-being.Stress Reduction: Physical activity can help reduce stress by lowering the levels of stress hormones like cortisol. It also promotes relaxation and can serve as a healthy coping mechanism for stressors in daily life.Increased Blood Flow: Exercise improves blood circulation, which means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the brain. This increased blood flow can enhance brain function and support the growth of new blood vessels.Neuroprotection: Regular exercise has been linked to a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It may help protect the brain from age-related decline and damage.Enhanced Brain Plasticity: Exercise can promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself. This is important for learning and memory as it allows the brain to form new connections and pathways.Better Sleep: Regular physical activity can improve the quality and duration of sleep. Adequate sleep is essential for cognitive function, memory consolidation, and overall brain health.Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight through exercise can reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which are associated with cognitive decline.Social Engagement: Some forms of exercise, like group fitness classes or team sports, provide opportunities for social interaction. Social engagement is important for mental well-being and can contribute to brain health.Reduced Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is associated with various neurological disorders. Exercise can help reduce inflammation in the body, which may have a protective effect on the brain.Stimulation of Neurotransmitters: Exercise can influence the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which play key roles in mood regulation and motivation.Increased Brain Volume: Some studies suggest that regular physical activity can lead to increased brain volume, particularly in regions associated with memory and learning.Join me as we dive into this topic with Jonathan Ross more deeply. About Jonathan:His “800 Pounds of Parents” directly inspired Jonathan’s prolific fitness career. He is a multi-Personal Trainer of the Year Award-Winner (ACE, IDEA, PFP Magazine), creator of Funtensity™, brain fitness visionary, and author of the book, Abs Revealed.

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. He is a best selling author who’s mission is to help busy parents transform the symptoms of the daily grind into more loving relationships and daily fulfillment.Learn more about Adam at www.clearimpact.ioInterested in working with Ed? https://www.edharrold.com/breath-coac... 👃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-medi...

Can't wait to dive into how his career has shifted over the years based on how the industry has shifted.As Founder and CEO, Greg's vision for Physicians Fitness LLC was shaped 30 years ago while working as a lay assistant to chiropractic physicians in a sports medicine clinic. It was during this tenure that he noticed the unfortunate reality that most of the patients of the clinic were there, and frequently returned, as a result of poor physical conditioning. The medical and chiropractic staff encouraged these patients to participate in exercise and fitness programs, but did not have the time nor resources to effectively assess, develop, and implement a safe, global health-fitness plan. Greg wanted to provide a solution.
According to Ayurveda, not only should our diet change with the seasons, even our pranayama should be tweaked three times a year, says Larissa Hall Carlson, former dean of Kripalu's School of Ayurveda and the co-leader of Yoga Journal's Ayurveda 101 & 201 courses.
We met with Larissa last year to discuss the transition from winter to spring (vata to kapha seasons). Now we're going to dive into moving from spring to summer (kapha to pitta seasons).
Discover precious tools for enhancing balance while deepening your pranayama practice, as Larissa shares the Ayurvedic approach to dosha-balancing breathwork.

Embodiment is a practice that allows us to connect to the here and now by using our amazing bodies as resources for healing. Our bodies are wise and exceptionally capable at informing us when something is wrong or in need of our attention.
Most of us can tell when we need to go to the bathroom, blow our nose, or tend to a wound. These are simple, relatively neutral experiences we are used to attuning to. However, many have learned to ignore or avoid distressing body cues (i.e. thoughts, emotions, body sensations) because it feels unsafe to approach them, they don't know how to process what's happening, they learned it isn't ok to feel their emotions or trust their experiences, or they may be embarrassed or confused about what they're experiencing.
Join Michelle Kelly as we discuss how embodiment practices can support growth, learning, healing, and optimal wellness.
About Michelle Kelly Michelle Kelly is a passionate optimal wellness practitioner. She dedicated the first 30 years of her life to creating a robust professional dance career. Now, she channels her love of movement and expression in her work as a Clinical Mental health Counselor, Amen Clinics Brain Health Coach, and educator.
Michelle founded POW Therapy: Place of Optimal Wellness in Park City, UT and supports her clients by specializing in sex & relationship therapy, EMDR therapy, and holistic health. While working with adult survivors of child sexual abuse at The Younique Foundation, she discovered addressing distress with sexuality was a missing link in many therapy offices. She believes approaching the topics of sexuality and holistic health when treating trauma, relationship distress, and other mental health concerns are essential to sustained healing and enhanced well-being. Approaching what feels scary is a pathway to healing.
Michelle chose to reconnect with her dancing roots by founding Fierce & Free MVMT. Fierce & Free MVMT interweaves the worlds of movement & wellness to promote increased resilience, purpose, presence, connection, & joy. She hosts inspiring movement courses with an emphasis on embodiment, attunement, relaxation, connection, and fun. Her forte for tap dancing is nurtured through her offering, Tap Gurus: Enliven your feet. Enlighten your mind. Her passion for healing and optimal wellness is put in to motion during her MVMT meditation courses, where students learn to increase their ability to connect with their emotions, so they can be a guiding light & not something to fear.
Michelle practices what she teaches and mindfully chooses optimal wellness so she can create a joyful, healthy, and meaningful life. In addition to her passions for therapy and dance, she’s an energetic outdoor adventurer who loves sharing time in the mountains and beyond with her husband, family, and friends.

Many forms of meditation rely on awareness of breath as a foundational element of practice. This technique is sometimes referred to as ‘remembering.’
But what is it we are remembering when we return our attention to the here and now of the easy, natural flow of this breath? How can awareness of breath lead to happiness, inner peace and even liberation?
You will love how we are always given opportunities to connect with our breath and stay present. In this interview, we had technical difficulties and I was lost from the broadcast for several minutes. Jonathan was completely un-phased and kept going until we were back online! Living the practice as we speak :)

One of most fundamental and common breathing practices within yoga is the long, slow, deep breathing pattern. In a number of studies of yoga practice, slow yogic breathing has been a practice that beginners often immediately begin to adopt and benefit from in their daily lives as a valuable coping and health strategy. It has also made its way into modern Western medicine as a fairly well know relaxation practice referred to as slow breathing, abdominal breathing or belly breathing.
Biomedical scientific research on slow breathing has begun to reveal the substantial impact it has on both mental and physical functioning. On the physical level, it has direct impact on the autonomic nervous system, where it can reduce sympathetic activity, blood pressure and heart rate and increase heart rate variability. It can also change characteristics of respiratory functioning including changes in the chemoreflex response and improvement in gas exchange. Slow breathing research is also showing direct impact on the central nervous system, with positive changes in stress, emotion and pain regulation. Clinical research is beginning to show its efficacy in disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension.

About Michael Miletic, MD Advancing the field of brain-body-mind science for your best health. Dr. Michael Miletic is a former Olympic athlete and a prominent physician specializing in clinical neuroscience and integrative metabolic medicine. Dr. Miletic evaluates the brain, mind, and body and brings the latest science and evidence-based treatments to optimize your health. He specializes in athletes, executives, and adolescents looking to reach their full potential. Dr. Miletic’s comprehensive training and evidence-based research have enabled him to understand something many healthcare providers do not: approaches that treat the body without addressing the mind are limited in their effectiveness. Getting to know you, your life experiences, and the way you think and feel is thus a critical aspect of the care you receive from Dr. Miletic. Dr. Miletic developed “The Miletic Method” as a new model of mental health treatment, brain functioning, performance, longevity, and health. The model consists of looking at the brain/body as a series of interrelated bidirectional systems influencing and influenced by each other in ways specific to each patient. Understanding the intricacies of this allows us to approach each patient in an individualized way. The method then involves integrating all of the physical measures through history taking and specialized lab tests with psychology and neuroscience in a way that provides a new understanding of mental states and psychiatric diagnoses. Some of the aspects of your health that are measured and evaluated include hormone balance, micronutrients levels, neurotransmitter levels, gut health, inflammation, stress, immune response, life events and trauma. Based on an initial assessment of your physical and mental health and your personal health goals, Dr. Miletic will provide a personalized treatment plan. As he monitors your body’s response to this plan, he will adapt and optimize treatment until the desired results are achieved. Dr. Miletic earned his medical degree from the University of Western Ontario Medical School and completed his residency in Psychiatry at the Detroit Medical Center. He is Board Certified in Psychiatry, Neurology and Metabolic Medicine. He is also certified in Psychoanalysis and serves as an Advanced Fellow in Metabolic Medicine. He is licensed in both the United States and Canada, and his practice is based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Whereas the neurophysiology of respiration has traditionally focused on automatic brainstem processes, higher brain mechanisms underlying the cognitive aspects of breathing are gaining increasing interest. Therapeutic techniques have used conscious control and awareness of breathing for millennia with little understanding of the mechanisms underlying their efficacy.
We will discuss recent results from our lab using direct intracranial recordings in human patients and simultaneous respiratory measurements. Our data shows that respiration modulates brain excitability of multiple cortical and limbic areas above the brainstem. It also highlights the importance of breathwork to change the way our brains process information from the outside world as well as from the inner one (internal sensations).

When you lose weight, where does it go? Ask a friend and they'll say fat is converted to energy, or turns into muscle, or gets flushed down the toilet, but none of those are correct. The truth is that we lose weight by converting fat into carbon dioxide and then exhaling it. In fact, 75% of all the mass in the macronutrients we eat share the same metabolic fate.
In this discussion, we'll explore the direct physiological connection between our stomach, lungs and waistline, and how this knowledge can inform and even motivate us to maintain a healthy weight.
