Breathing is something we do every second of every day, yet most people never stop to consider how their breathing patterns may be influencing their energy, metabolism, stress response, exercise performance, sleep, and overall health.
In this episode of The Functional Fueling Podcast, we dive into the physiology of breathing and why chronic mouth breathing may affect far more than just your lungs. We explore the connection between breathing mechanics, nervous system regulation, lymphatic flow, circulation, thyroid function, cortisol patterns, and exercise tolerance — especially in active and high-performing individuals.
