Conscious Beauty Podcast Mary Vallarta

What if I told you that you that can access energy and alertness by just consciously manipulating your breath. And what if I told you that you can turn offpanic attacks by breathing your way through the state of rest and digest? Then listen to my conversation with Brittany Lillegard, Wim Hof Method Instructor, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and Microdosing Coach. Brittany and I chat all things breath work, what it is, its effects on your physical and mental state, and the role it plays on warding off the effects of aging. We also explore breath work when done in conjunction with microdosing plant medicine, and its powerful effect on creating new neural pathways of understanding.
