Why breathing?

Breathing is the only human system capable of disrupting the body’s natural chemistry from second to second.  It can cause symptoms and deficits that affect performance in just about all areas of life. Breathing is frequently ignored because it is thought of as simply a natural reflex.   However, medical literature states that unstable breathing can cause anxiety, migraines, attention deficits, poor energy, and palpitations, to name a few.  Poor breathing habits can also aggravate pre-existing conditions like epilepsy, seizures, depression, ADD/ADHD, phobias, and panic disorders.

Breathing is basically a behavior, voluntary and habitual, that is capable of overriding the body’s internal respiratory centers.  Unstable breathing patterns are not always recognized because they can be subtle, ongoing, and situational. Poor breathing habits can contribute to decreased performance, lack of self-confidence, and even feelings of illness.   

 

Why should I care about the way I breathe?

Many body functions depend on the metabolic waste product known as carbon dioxide. Breathing, through the regulation of carbon dioxide, is the prime regulator of the following, all of which are necessary for cellular health:

1. pH balance in the blood (acid-based balance)
2. Electrolyte function (Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium…)
3. Proper blood oxygenation (oxygen transport- Hemoglobin)
4. Better blood supply  (vasoconstriction and vasodilation)

These are essential components for the body to function better physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Proper breathing creates a better chemical balance from an inside-out perspective.

 

How do I know I am breathing incorrectly?

A person who exhibits unstable breathing patterns often reports chest tightness, palpitations, difficulty breathing, “air-hunger”, inability to sit still or focus, and disconnectedness. Feelings of anxiousness, edginess, and irritability are also common. It is even possible for breathing problems to be so imperceptible that they do not cause any of the symptoms described above.

Checking for proper breathing is accomplished by testing the level of carbon dioxide that is exhaled at the end of each breath. Current state-of-the-art technology provides an objective method of measuring carbon dioxide levels under varying circumstances. The technology used for this training is the same as an anesthesiologist uses in the operating room. It is available in every critical care unit in every hospital, and it is now available to our clients. This portable instrument, known as a capnograph, is specifically designed for educational and training purposes.
