Patrick is the author of The Oxygen Advantage. I’ve been reading his book (highly recommend!), and since I’ve found breathwork to really help my anxiety and stress, I thought we could help even more people by having Patrick come on and really foster a better understanding of the breath and breathwork.A surprising 75% of the anxiety population has breathing pattern disorders. Yet, we can self-regulate our stress and anxiety through our breath. So, if you’re stressed or anxious, this podcast is for you!Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
