Be Well by Kelly Leveque · 395: Why You Keep Overreacting + How to Regulate Your Nervous System | Jonny Miller · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

anxious or buzzy like that's not gonna be the grounded feeling that you're looking to have at the aftermath of something like that yeah yeah so to get specific um i'd say 80 to 85 percent of people do have a good experience yeah but the 10 to 15 percent who are more sensitive and maybe prone to anxiety yeah they can um leave in a very ungrounded kind of unsafe place okay

The key difference with breathwork is doing a breathwork where the exhale is relaxed and effortless.

So with the practices like Wim Hof or holotropic, you're forcing the exhale, which is basically overriding the parasympathetic system.

Whereas if you have a breathwork practice like conscious connected breathing or facilitated breath repatterning, FBR is one that I trained in, where it's a full inhale, but it's a relaxed exhale.

So it's like,

the the inhale is matched by the exhale and that way you avoid the kind of technique and you're actually training your capacity to downshift as well which is which is part of what's happening and it also allows the emotions that live in the um when people have protection responses to the relaxed states it allows those to come up as opposed to kind of blasting through and having a very intense experience that might appear very cathartic

but isn't necessarily rewiring anything in a healthy way.

Yeah, it's an amazing question.

I would say if I can't be with someone in person, then

Asking them about their quality of recovery and rest, also their reactivity and kind of quality of relationships is a huge signal.

Like how quickly do they get into these defensive states?

If I'm working with someone in person with breathwork, then I read the breath.

And the breath is an amazing window into the nervous system.

So the inhale is basically linked to our sympathetic, which is the kind of activation side of the nervous system, and the exhale is the parasympathetic, which is the relaxation.

So I will kind of sit next to someone and watch the quality of the inhale and the quality of their exhale and notice basically where there are tension points.

So maybe if they're unable to bring the inhale above the rib cage, there might be tension under the diaphragm.

So you can kind of, sometimes you can feel if there's tension underneath the diaphragm.

Yeah.

And then often, especially with high achieving people, there's what I think of as an overachieving breathing pattern.

Sweet.
