    389 - You’re Breathing Wrong: How to Use Your Breath to Heal Stress, Anxiety & Burnout with Campbell Will of Breath Body Therapy

    Most of us are doing it 20,000 times a day—and doing it wrong. Breathing isn’t just automatic. It’s foundational.  And when your breath is off, your body and mind feel it: stress spikes, energy crashes, and your nervous system can’t find its footing. In this episode of Alive & Well, I’m joined by integrative physiotherapist Campbell Will, who has spent years studying the breath across ICUs, neurosurgical wards, elite athletic settings, and private practice.  What he’s found is simple but profound: when you breathe well, you elevate your health, performance, and emotional balance. When you breathe poorly, you drive dysfunction. We’re diving into:  ✔️ How the breath directly impacts your ability to self-regulate and co-regulate  ✔️ What dysfunctional breathing really is—and the surprising ways it shows up in daily life  ✔️ How poor breathing patterns keep your body stuck in stress (and what to do instead) If you’ve ever felt tired, tense, or like your body is stuck in “on” mode—this episode will help you reconnect with the most powerful (and accessible) tool you already have. 🎧 Press play to learn how to reclaim your breath as the foundation of nervous system regulation, energy, and freedom.

    If your mornings feel rushed, chaotic, or like you’re already behind before the day even starts—you’re not imagining it.  The way you begin your day has a direct impact on your nervous system, your stress levels, and your capacity to stay grounded. In this episode, I’m sharing 5 simple, science-backed morning rituals that have transformed the way I move through my day.  These practices aren’t about rigid routines or hustle—they’re about working with your physiology so your mornings (and your nervous system) set you up for calm focus instead of chronic stress. You’ll learn:  🔹 Why those first 60 minutes after waking are so powerful for your brain and body  🔹 The neuroscience behind light exposure, hydration, movement, and stillness in regulating stress  🔹 How to shift your mornings out of survival mode and into a state of safety and resilience  🔹 Practical ways to protect your energy before email, news, or notifications hijack your system Think of these rituals as tools, not rules. Even two minutes of intentional practice can change how your day feels. 🎧 Listen now to start rewiring your mornings—because the way you begin isn’t just about the start of your day. It’s how you train your body to live.
