Mushrooms, Medicine & the Meaning of Life with Dr. Christopher Hobbs
Jan 2400:57:43Tap to summarizeIn this expansive and thought-provoking conversation, I'm joined by renowned herbalist, mycologist, and researcher Dr. Christopher Hobbs to explore one of the most important questions in health and healing today: Why do some people recover—while others don't?

How Breathwork Rewires Anxiety, Health & Human Connection with Jessica Dibb
Jan 1000:56:33Tap to summarizeWhat if the fastest way to calm anxiety, shift your nervous system, and reconnect with others was already happening—right under your nose? In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Jessica Dibb, Founder, Spiritual Director, and Principal Teacher of Inspiration Consciousness School and author of Breathwork and Psychotherapy. Together, we explore how breath is not just a tool for relaxation—but a direct bridge between physiology, psychology, and healing. Jessica shares why breath is the fastest way to create a state change, how every breath is psychophysiological, and why emerging science shows specific breathing patterns can significantly reduce anxiety—sometimes more effectively than meditation or yoga alone. You'll also hear about: ✦ Stanford research comparing box breathing, cyclical hyperventilation, and cyclical sighing✦ Why some people struggle to inhale or hold their breath—and what that reveals✦ How becoming a friend to your breath creates grounding and emotional safety✦ The idea of "The Big Breath"—bridging ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience✦ Resonance research from the HeartMath Institute✦ How breath affects not just you—but those around you✦ A moving client story where breathwork helped shift asthma into remission✦ Breathwork as a universal human language of healing✦ The Universal Breathing Declaration, co-created with Jack Kornfield This episode offers both science-grounded insight and lived, embodied wisdom, showing how breathwork supports emotional regulation, physical health, flow states, and deep human connection. Whether you're navigating anxiety, chronic stress, illness, or simply longing for more steadiness in a fearful world—this conversation reminds you that healing begins with the breath you're already taking. 📌 Enjoyed the episode?📢 Share it with a friend who would love this message!🔔 Subscribe on YouTube for more insightful conversations that bridge science with soul ___ About Jessica Dibb: Through life-long exploring of pathways for physical and psychological health and development, awakened consciousness, and living from love, Jessica Dibb's work centers conscious breathing—synthesizing depth psychology, consciousness studies, science, individualized spirituality, and somatic, emotional, and cognitive energy and wholeness.
