176 - How Breathing Improves Performance and Productivity

As health professionals, we often struggle with things like “decision fatigue” and “empathy fatigue” which often affects our personal health. You may have trouble sleeping or managing stress, and in turn, might also affect your ability to make decisions and lead your team.

In this episode, Shane and Angie Saunders from Breathe Me talks about how the simple habit of breathing can change literally everything — from our sleep patterns, habits, immune system, stress tolerance, and many more!

They also share to us how we can start tapping into this super power and turn our life for the better.
