Could changing the rhythm of your breath offer the breakthrough you’ve been looking for?
This week, Andrew talks to psychologist and breathwork expert Dr. Richard Blake—known as The Breath Geek—about the profound impact that conscious breathing can have on mental and physical health.
Together, Andrew and Richard discuss:
- How breathwork can reduce anxiety and support emotional healing
- A simple breathing exercise you can try right now
- Why working with the body is essential for mental wellbeing
- Differences between how men and women experience somatic therapies
Dr. Richard Blake holds a PhD in Psychology and is a leading expert in breathwork and functional breathing. A former Men’s Health Magazine fitness model, he combines cutting-edge science with holistic practices to help clients achieve mental clarity, resilience, and deeper self-awareness.
