Non-negotiables include circadian-aligned sleep, morning daylight for rhythm reset, real food over ultra-processed/sugary items, resistance training, and real-life stress tools to keep resilience ahead of damage.

How to cope with that nameless dread, anxiety and stress.

Experts in the field of breathwork say that as many 80% of us have dysfunctional breathing patterns. We come in to the world knowing how to breath, but as we age we appear to learn to breath shallow and short. People who are anxious tend to breathe in their upper lungs (upper chest) with shallow, rapid breaths, instead of breathing into their lower lungs (lower chest).
