The Science and Emotion Behind How We Breathe -Chronic Health Collective S2 Ep30
You’re breathing… but are you breathing WELL?
This Tuesday on Chronic Health Collective, host Jessica Hammock sits down with special guest Eileen McDonald for a conversation that will make you rethink the thing you do 22,000 times a day without even noticing.
Your breath isn’t just “inhale, exhale, repeat.”
It may be the hidden biofeedback system revealing how your body handles stress, trauma, overwhelm, control, relationships, and even that “why am I so exhausted when my labs look normal?” mystery. Yeah… your breath has been snitching on you. Lovingly, of course.
In this episode, Jessica and Eileen unpack:
Why “just take a deep breath” may not be enough
How stress and trauma can change your breathing patterns
Why carbon dioxide may be the missing piece in healthy breathing
How posture impacts oxygen, regulation, and calm
Why sighing might actually be your body recalibrating
How your breath can affect your reactions, relationships, and resilience
And yes… Eileen can sometimes tell when people are holding their breath.
Not creepy. Just science with excellent observational skills.
If you’ve been feeling tense, reactive, overwhelmed, disconnected from your body, or stuck in survival mode, this episode is your invitation to pause, observe, and get curious.
Because your transformation may not start with doing more.
It may start with noticing the breath you already have.
