#23: Breathing for Health with Richie Bostock
22nd Jul 2019
Todays guest on the podcast is Richie Bostock where we talk about Breathing for Health. Richie, or “The Breath Guy”, has made it his mission to spread the life changing possibilities of Breathwork.
Breathing is the only system in the body that is both automatic and also under our control. That is not an accident of nature - it is by design and is the key to becoming a healthy, happy and high-performing individual.
Richie has had some incredible experiences, travelling around the world, and learning from the modern day master of breath work - Wim Hoff and shares some great insights with us today.
On this episode we cover:
- What is breathwork
- Immune system effects of breathing
- How breathing can increase heart rate rate variability and different sorts of ways that we can measure this activity
- What we can potentially do with breath work in the future
- How breathing can help with the daily stressors of life
Disclaimer: On this podcast my guest made references to the work of somebody described as a neuroscientist. It has come to my attention after the show that this person is not qualified as a neuroscientist and some of his work is controversial. To respect the opinion of my guest I have decided not to censor any of our conversation but I would like to make clear that I do not endorse the work of the person referenced during the podcast.
