The Power of Breathwork: Techniques, Benefits & Applications with Dr. Jonathan Chung

Join me, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, on the Flex Diet Podcast this week with Dr. Jonathan Chung, an expert in chiropractic neurology and upper cervical care, to explore the intricate world of breathwork. This episode dives deep into the neurology of breathing, heart rate variability (HRV), and recovery techniques.

Learn about various breathing practices, including HRV biofeedback, resonance frequency breathing, and the Wim Hof method, and discover how they can improve cognitive and physical performance, manage anxiety, and enhance CO2 tolerance.

Dr. Chung also shares his personal journey and practical advice on selecting breathwork methods tailored to individual needs, emphasizing the balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic responses. We touch on advanced topics like hypoxia training, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and their applications in clinical and athletic settings.
