Nervous System Regulation: Why Healing Gets Stuck

October 13, 2026 · 19 min

Show notes

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Sachin Patel about how breathing patterns reflect and influence the nervous system. We explore nasal versus mouth breathing, chest versus belly breathing, respiratory rate, tongue posture, and carbon dioxide tolerance. Dr. Patel also shares simple breathing rhythms and habit cues that can help people practice more intentional breathing throughout the day, while explaining why sleep-related breathing concerns deserve proper assessment.
