Have you ever struggled with insomnia, sleep apnea and just feeling tired all the time. In this episode, host Becca Rose shares her struggles with sleep that began in early middle school. She faced significant anxiety, restlessness, and difficulty falling asleep, which led to years of poor sleep quality. This ongoing issue persisted into adulthood, culminating in a diagnosis of moderate sleep apnea at the age of 28. Although she was prescribed a CPAP machine, Becca found it challenging to adjust to the device, describing it as a comforting yet cumbersome presence in her life.

Everything changed when she discovered myofunctional therapy and functional breathing techniques about three to four years ago. These methods not only improved her breathing efficiency but also strengthened her airway muscles, resulting in a remarkable transformation in her sleep quality. Recent sleep screenings revealed a significant decrease in her apnea events, and her sleep quality metrics were similar whether she used her CPAP machine or not. This improvement underscores the profound impact that myofunctional therapy and functional breathing can have on sleep health.

Are you breathing the right way?

In this episode, we explore the powerful impact of functional breathing on overall health and well-being, emphasizing techniques like the Buteyko method. Functional breathing involves consciously adjusting breathing patterns to optimize the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, leading to a range of benefits including improved cognitive function, better sleep quality, and reduced anxiety.

Key Takeaways:

• The importance of diaphragmatic breathing for efficient oxygen intake

• The role of balanced CO2 levels in activating the parasympathetic nervous system

• The potential of functional breathing to alleviate symptoms of asthma, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
