Motus V With Nick The Tooth

Just 10 minutes a day will improve stress, focus and aid workout recovery. Try this 6 Second Exercise and also the 5.5 Second Exercise to see which you find more relaxing. I find the 6 second better for my body, but it just depends on the nervous system.  Hit me with questions or comments.  From the National Library of Medicine:  "Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVBFB) or resonance breathing is breathing at a slow rate, usually 4.5 to 7 breaths per minute, which depends on each individual, to maximise their RSA. Self-training in resonance breathing lowers stress, blood pressure, and improves mood. Training on resonance breathing improves vagal tone, thereby improving HRV, which is an index of stress and health."

Nicole is a culinary maestro & co-author of the book The Vegan Ketogenic Diet Cookbook: 75 Satisfying High Fat, Low Carb, Dairy Free Recipes. This book is incredible because it addresses two critical pillars of nutrition--Insulin Resistance & Gut Biome.

The 75 recipes in Nicole's book are quick and easy with relatively few ingredients.  So pick up the book and enjoy our free-wheeling conversation wherein we talk about nutrition myths, the importance of dealing with trauma in regards to diet, and the healing power of plants.
