that anyone can do it at any time.

People are like, hey, I want the secret, man.

I want the medicinal stuff that you discovered in a cave in the Himalayas.

I wish it were that easy.

So I can give you a very simple one that's probably been the most studied out of any of these.

Most of us tend to breathe too much.

We tend to breathe up into our chest.

We tend to breathe through our mouths.

And when we breathe this way,

we send stress signals to our brain.

And so we stay in this state of sympathetic stress all day long.

So that increases your risk of diabetes, all of these other heinous problems, autoimmune issues.

What's inflammation you're causing yourself for sure.

Constant inflammation, right?

Constant, constant stress.

So what you have to do is go back to the way that you were supposed to be breathing, to the way that nature intended you to breathe.

And so a very simple practice that a lot of people start off with is you can place the palm of your hand just below your belly button, right?

And you're going to breathe in through your nose and you want to feel your belly expand.

And as you breathe out, you want to feel it come back in.

Breathe out through my nose?
