Nick Heath – Breathing for Diabetes Online Course

Description of Breathing for Diabetes Online Course

A simple yet powerful tool.

• Breathing is the most accessible (yet undervalued) tool we have for health & wellness.
• It gives us peace of mind knowing we have a way to control our emotions, our energy levels, our presence, and our ability to cope with daily diabetic stressors.
• It’s the help you need, that you may not have heard of.
• Breathing is the Simplest & Most Effective Adjunctive Treatment We Can Use
• Slow breathing could be a simple beneficial intervention in diabetes

Breathing is Scientifically Proven to Lower Stress, Reduce Blood Pressure, and Improve Blood Flow:

• Less stress.

People with diabetes have higher rates of chronic stress, anxiety, and depression.

Slow breathing techniques give us a science-backed tool we can use anytime & any place to help combat these adverse side effects of the disease.

• More oxygen.

A fundamental driver of diabetic complications is lack of oxygen at the cellular level.

In the first lesson, we’ll discuss how a study published in 1996 (!) found that one simple change to our breathing can increase oxygenation by 10% in just 5 minutes.

• Lower blood pressure.

Johns Hopkins estimates that people with diabetes are twice as likely to develop hypertension.

But we seldom hear that the American Heart Association recognizes slow breathing as an effective alternative treatment for reducing blood pressure.

In just 20 min/day, we can significantly reduce our blood pressure, lowering our risk of heart problems

The Breathing for Diabetes Online Course Gives You Everything You Need with:

• THE SCIENCE: A clear and concise explanation of breathing’s proven benefits.
• THE PRACTICE: A simple 10-day plan for applying what you learn..

What You’ll Learn In Breathing for Diabetes Online Course

Less stress & anxiety

Slow breathing is the simplest and most effective way to lower stress. It just takes a few minutes to activate the calming parasympathetic branch of the nervous system—and it’s available anytime, anywhere.

Better cardiovascular function

Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of people with diabetes. Slow breathing isn’t a panacea, but it can lower blood pressure and increase heart rate variability, decreasing the chances of heart problems.

Increased oxygenation & blood flow

People with diabetes typically have poor blood flow and get less oxygen to their cells & tissues (a state known as “tissue hypoxia”). In the first lesson, you’ll learn how a study showed we can increase whole-body oxygenation by 10% in just 5 minutes.

Improved resiliency to diabetes stressors

This is my favorite benefit. We deal with a bunch of nonsense as diabetics (case & point: preauthorizations for medications we’ve taken for years). By increasing HRV, slow breathing increases your resiliency, helping you quickly bounce back from these daily stressors.

Less risk of diabetic complications

All of the science supports using slow breathing in people with diabetes—there’s zero risk of adverse side effects and huge upside. When you add up the benefits, it results in less chance of diabetic complications. It’s not a miracle pill, but it is genuinely powerful.

A better relationship with diabetes

This is my second favorite benefit, and it goes with improved resiliency above. When you’re less stressed, have better cardiovascular and autonomic function, improved blood flow, and more resiliency, your life and relationship with diabetes get easier.
