In this episode of Total Health with Dr. Vinny, we take a deep breath - literally - and explore one of the most powerful yet overlooked tools for healing: breathing.

Dr. Vinny dives into the life-changing benefits of nasal breathing, including its connection to posture, nervous system balance, and even spinal health. Drawing on techniques from The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown and the Buteyko Method, Dr. Vinny explains why breathing through your nose—not your mouth— can help improve everything from athletic performance to anxiety, sleep, snoring, digestion, and more.

💨 Learn how breathwork:

• Activates your parasympathetic (rest & digest) nervous system
• Boosts production of nitric oxide for better circulation
• Enhances posture and spinal alignment
• Can be used before, during, or after chiropractic adjustments
• Improves focus, recovery, and overall energy

Whether you're an athlete, dealing with chronic stress, or just looking to optimize your health, this episode shows you how conscious breathing can become part of your daily life and your personalized care plan.

🗣️ “Breathing sounds simple, but how does it help you? In many ways.” – Dr. Vinny
