Ep. 150 Breathe Right, Live Better: How Functional Breathing Transforms Your Health and Mindset with Margaret Stoch
What if the way you breathe is holding you back from feeling your best?
In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Margaret Stoch, speech-language pathologist and founder of Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center, P.C., to explore how something as simple as breathing can shape every part of our health, mindset, and potential.
Margaret shares how mouth breathing, tongue posture, and even the way we sleep can impact everything from energy and mood to hormones, focus, and emotional regulation. You’ll learn what “functional breathing” actually looks like, why poor breathing patterns lead to chronic stress and poor sleep, and simple ways to retrain your body for better vitality and calm.
We talk about:
• The surprising consequences of chronic mouth breathing
• Why sleep quality matters more than sleep quantity
• How breathing affects hormones, inflammation, and emotional well-being
• A simple “water test” you can try today to check your nasal breathing
• The one thing you can do right now to start improving your breath and your life
This conversation is a masterclass in how our bodies are designed for healing and how tuning into your breath might be the key to unlocking the energy, clarity, and peace you’ve been missing.
