Show Notes:
In this episode, we talk with Jesse Coomer about the connection between breathwork, psychology, and longevity, and how certain breathing practices can extend our health span.
As a Human Performance Specialist, Author, and Founder of the Breathwork//Tactics program, Jesse has trained athletes, CEOs, first responders, military, and everyday people seeking to optimize their performance, reduce their anxiety levels, and live a healthier life.
In this conversation, Jesse shares his journey towards living a longer and healthier life, after decades spent dealing with social anxiety through unhealthy coping mechanisms, including drugs and alcohol use. He explains how breathwork has helped him reconnect with his emotions, control his subconscious, and lead him to healthier daily decisions.
