Breath.
It’s your life force. It’s the foundation for all of your healing and regeneration. It can give you energy, health and joy…….ooooorrrrrr it can rattle your foundation and take you down a dark path of health issues.
Take a second. Tune into yourself. Where is your breath now? Are you feeling like your breath is suspended? Are you holding it in? Out?
What is your breath rate? Is it quick and ragged? Slow and deep?
Can you hold your breath in for more than 10 seconds? Can you hold it out for more than 10 seconds?
The reason I’m asking you to tune in, is that your breath is literally your everything. Without it, you have life for just a few minutes. When breathing is dysregulated, it changes your oxygen levels, your heart rate, whether your cells are able to heal, repair and grow. It affects your nervous system either positively or negatively. In the negative direction, it can lead to anxiety, depression, sleep apnea, behavioral issues, and loss of nutrients. (I’ll dive more deeply into all of this at the end of the summer).

My Challenge to YouRight now, take a very slow, long quiet breath in. If you’ve got a stopwatch available, take a count of how slowly you can inhale.
Do the same for your exhale. Let your breath release long, slowly, and quietly and count the time. Ideally, to start, you want to make sure that you can inhale and exhale comfortably for 10 seconds on each. Practice this twice a day for at least 5 minutes. I’ve been doing this for the last 6 weeks and it’s literally changing my life. I’ve had undiagnosed sleep apnea, for probably most of my life, but it’s worsened over the last 9 years and has caused havoc with my health. The change in breathing (and I’ve got more to share at a later time!) has improved my sleep, my energy, my thought processes, and my joie de vivre! If you want to dive deeper, I’m really loving the book The Sleep Apnea Solution. It’s literally helping me get back to basics, understand what’s been going on with my anatomy and physiology, and changing my sleep patterns. It’s a complete game-changer! |

Here are some other ways we can work together right now! Here’s how:
Telehealth Sessions and Health Coaching This is for you if you’re: 1. Frustrated with how you’re feeling, either mentally/emotionally or physically 2. You’re feeling stuck or frustrated by your current healthcare team and need more holistic ways of approaching your healh problems
3. You’re left with a lot of questions, after your recent blood work/ lab work/ trip to your primary doctor, as to how you can move forward and make real, lasting changes to you life…..or you’re being sent to a hundred different doctors but none of them are communicating with you or each other about what you’re supposed to be doing
Believe me, I’ve been through years of researching, problem solving, dozens of healthcare practitioners, tens of thousands of dollars, sleepless nights, pain that left me lying in bed crying. The silver lining to all of this?! I’ve learned SO MUCH about what it’s like to be in bad places physically, emotionally and mentally aaaaannnnndddd that lead me to understand that YOU are a unique individual, who may not fall into the ‘cookie cutter’ approach to healthcare and need something ‘outside the box’ to fully heal and feel whole again. Between my own health journey and my 30 years experience as a Chiropratic Physican, I’ve gotten myself, and thousands of others to live the life that they never thought they’d be able to experience. If you’re ready to truly heal, I’d love to help you along your way.

That’s it for now! I hope you’re out having fun! I’ve been enjoying weekends out in the mountains, on the lake with friends and family. I wanted to take a few minutes to connect with you this week and send you some good cheer and tips to help elevate your health and well-being!
Yours in Health,
Dr. Arjan
