Breathing is a powerful tool that can help us manage stress and addiction.
Imagine if something as simple as breathing could transform your health. In this episode of 'Sukkerpodden', host Bente Josefsen chats with Veronica Hetland, a leading expert in breathwork, about the profound impact of proper breathing on health, addiction, and stress. Veronica, known as a 'tanketrener' in Norway, delves into how mastering your breath can be a game-changer in managing addiction and maintaining overall well-being.
Bente kicks off the conversation by sharing her personal journey with sugar addiction and how breathwork has been a vital tool in her recovery. Veronica then takes the stage, breaking down the science of breath and its effects on our body and mind. She explains the importance of diaphragmatic breathing and introduces the concept of 'pustehunger', or the hunger for breath, which can significantly enhance our breathing capacity. The episode also tackles the close relationship between stress and addiction.
Veronica sheds light on how stress triggers our fight-or-flight response, flooding our system with cortisol—a hormone linked to addiction and other health issues. Through practical tips and exercises, Veronica demonstrates how proper breathing can help lower stress levels and keep cortisol in check. From meditation to yoga, she shares various techniques that listeners can incorporate into their daily routines to achieve a state of calm and relaxation.
Veronica's personal anecdotes about overcoming her own challenges with breathwork add a relatable touch to this informative discussion. By the end of the episode, you'll be inspired to explore different breathing techniques and find what works best for you. Tune in to learn how something as fundamental as breathing can lead to a healthier, more balanced life.
