New Discoveries

🫁 The Breath App That Changed My Mornings (And Might Change Your Life) 🙏

I’ve spent years biohacking everything from sleep and energy to hormones and immunity, but breathwork is one tool I return to more than almost anything else. Why? Because it works instantly, costs nothing, and connects you to something far deeper than yourself. 

That’s why I’m excited to share one of my go-to resources: The Breath Source app.

Inside the app, you’ll find guided breathing sessions from notable breathwork instructors, including me. Because I like to combine breathwork with my spiritual practice of prayer and the Bible, I’ve uploaded a series of Christian breathwork journeys that are specifically designed to draw you into prayer, help you hear God’s voice more clearly, and integrate spiritual disciplines like Scripture memorization, gratitude, stillness, and surrender into your nervous system through the breath. 

The Breath Source isn’t just about stress relief or performance, though it does help with those, too. It also offers breath patterns to support:

✔️Parasympathetic activation

✔️Emotional release

✔️Detoxification

✔️Endurance

✔️Shifting out of “default mode network” for higher creativity and less stress

Whether you're looking to deepen your spiritual practice, regulate your mood, fall asleep faster, or boost your resilience, there’s something here for you.

If you're new to breathwork, you can start with foundational breath practices that will teach you the basics and build momentum. If you want to push the boundaries, try the advanced pranayama sessions or guided journeys for emotional processing. You’ll also find performance breathing strategies for athletes and mindful breathing for kids and families.

The Breath Source is more than an app—it’s a movement. And it’s free to try for 7 days, meaning you have nothing to lose and lots to gain – and you can try any of the sessions I personally narrated as part of your free access.

Download The Breath Source app here and start your journey today.

📢 This Week in Health & Performance: What the Latest Research Says 🚀

📱 Phones vs. Pianos for Brain Health? New research suggests that older adults who regularly use smartphones may have a lower risk of developing dementia, likely due to the cognitive stimulation. But I’ve got to play devil’s advocate here: with EMF exposure still a concern, why not reach for a tech-free alternative? Activities like learning a musical instrument offer similar brain-boosting benefits, without the digital baggage. (read about the dementia study here, and about music's benefits in older adults here)

☕ When to Drink Your Coffee: New research indicates that drinking coffee before noon may be best for maximizing its health benefits, suggesting timing might matter more than you think when it comes to energy, metabolism, and sleep. (see study)

🌐 How PEMF Really Works: Curious about pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)? A new integrative review unpacks how this modality supports wound healing, circulation, and cellular repair, revealing there's solid science behind the buzz. (read more)

🙏 Couples That Pray Together, Stay Together: According to Arthur Brooks, couples who engage in nightly prayer build stronger, more resilient relationships. It’s simple, free, and deeply effective, which is one reason my wife and I do this every night. (watch the clip)

📌 Key Takeaway: The latest science is clear—when you do things (like drink coffee or use your phone) and how you connect (spiritually or sensorily) matters more than ever for long-term performance and well-being.
