Breathwork in embodied psychotherapies: a systematic review and meta-analysis

I always notice the nights I do some deep diaphragmatic breathing that I'll always wake up with a higher HRV

Lesson in there

@MitoPsychoBio @StevenBartlett @thediaryoface You often talk about anything increasing breathing being good for mitochondria re: workouts. What do you think about high ventilation breathwork (https://t.co/9y0WOEIMD7) & potential mitochondrial remodelling etc.?

A Systematic Review of Breathing Exercise Interventions: An Integrative Complementary Approach for Anxiety and Stress in Adult Populations

[brian mackenzie @brianmackenzie]

Heat + Aerobic training improves depression, further creating an understanding of metabolic limitations.
- Hot yoga combines both the heat and aerobic side, producing sustained gains over 8 weeks similar to combined or progressive heat/aerobic training.
- Heat will consume the most resources for the first 2 weeks, then the cardiovascular system drops at this stage, and the positions/movement can be further challenged while the aerobic system is no longer as limited.

Peer reviewers keep science honest, but they were never paid for it.

Now, peer reviewers get paid $150 for every eligible review on @ResearchHub.

If you’re already reviewing papers, you might as well get paid for it: https://t.co/627A0yX8KN

A sigh of relief or a sigh to relieve: The psychological and physiological relief effect of deep breaths

[brian mackenzie @brianmackenzie]

"I'm fine." No, you are just used to it.
Short sleep. Flat HRV. Resting heart rate is elevated or suppressed (low), and suppression is often worse because it means the system has stopped responding. See this just this morning (again) w/ an athlete (attached)
Phone gets checked inside 30 minutes of waking. Music for the workout, the commute, the house. TV fills the silence. App opened to keep the streak alive. There is always something on.
None of it registers as load anymore. The stimulation stopped feeling like stimulation. That is the problem.
What background input is running right now that you no longer notice?
