Breathing and stress are closely connected, yet their impact on metabolic health is often overlooked.
In this discussion, Dr. Nina Bausek and Dr. Nick Meyer explore how breathing muscle strength and stress physiology may influence energy, recovery, and overall function. This session also shares insights from a clinical study investigating respiratory muscle training as part of a structured weight management program.
Rather than focusing on protocols or specific recommendations, this discussion provides a broader understanding of how breathing, stress, and metabolic health interact.
