Dr. Michael Breus on Simple Wellness Through Breathwork, Hydration, and Sleep

This podcast episode interviews Dr. Michael Breus about his new book, "Sleep, Drink, Breathe," focusing on three fundamental daily habits for improved long-term health. The conversation covers breathing techniques (identifying and correcting improper breathing patterns), hydration (emphasizing sipping over gulping and providing a formula for daily water intake based on weight and activity), and sleep (addressing common sleep problems and offering solutions like the 4-7-8 breathing technique). Dr. Breus also debunks myths surrounding melatonin use, highlighting its role as a sleep regulator rather than an initiator, and discusses the TimeShifter app, which he helped develop, for managing circadian rhythms. The episode concludes with information about pre-ordering the book and subscribing to Dr. Breus's newsletter.
