Becca, a former PE teacher from Ireland, shares her journey from teaching to health coaching, focusing on the vital role of stress regulation and hormone understanding. The conversation dives into practical strategies for managing stress, the impact of chronic stress on women's health, and how breathing patterns change during different phases of the menstrual cycle.

This episode is packed with insights for women navigating the complexities of hormonal changes, offering a powerful reminder of the importance of self-awareness and breathwork in maintaining overall well-being.
I’m a psychologist and I always ask about sleep because it has such a big impact on physical and mental health.
Brilliant talk. Thank you so much for sharing it 🙏
Great thanks for watching
Fabulous talk both of you! Thank you so much!
Don't forget to also take your reacttolight specs off when getting day light in the morning as they act like sunglasses.
I am enjoying weaving into my breathing practice and teaching, the Polyvagal Theory. PV looks at the ANS, the vagus and feeling safe with regards to self regulation and coregulation.
Great conversation, thanks! Replacing wine with herb infused mocktails has been a game changer for me. As much as I love my wine, it’s just not worth it in this peri menopausal phase of my life. Did I miss something in this discussion about the direct link between breathwork and hormonal balance? Was this strictly about mouth taping at night?
Thanks for you message, it's great that you are finding balance in this phase. Sure, the podcast focused more broadly on stress management and lifestyle factors' relationship to hormonal health. They spoke about how breathwork can help calm the mind and promote better sleep quality, which is important for hormone regulation. They didn´t deeply explore scientific evidence directly connecting breathwork to changes in hormone levels but the science is there. We have a Breathing for Females course as well as a Breathing for Menopause course that explores the science in greater depth.
@@OxygenAdvantageThanks for your reply! I didn’t know OA had specific courses on the topic. I’ll check this out. I’m also considering the instructor training as I’ve been following Patrick’s work for a while now.

Hormones are best on a high carbon dehydrate low-fat diet, unless the person is anorexic, lean as they can’t use their own body fat to make the hormones they need dietary fat causes, insulin resistance and body fat gain, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
