The SpelLife PODCAST: Dr. Gaynell Anderson - Breath and Core

Join us for coffee and a candid conversation and learn about the power of breath and how breath affects stress responses, belly fat and digestive health, overall strength and energy levels, brain clarity, and health longevity! Gaynell and Jill discuss what exactly is the muscle recovery system, otherwise referred to as our “core” muscle group. We learn the uniqueness of this group of muscles in its attributes and functional mechanisms that fundamentally influence all other functions in the body. 

Our “core” muscle group:

-Enhances sport performance and power

-Decompresses joints and controls posture and stability

-Reduces incidence of injury

-Responsible for the strength of the lymphatic drainage and blood circulation systems

-Optimizes breath and lung performance

-Optimizes heart and abdominal organ function for strong immunity

-Directly influences the body responses to “stress” and “rest and recovery”

-Directly influences brain function and health

Gaynell gives a visual description of this unique and often neglected muscle group and gives some step-by-step instructions to learn to breathe optimally and engage your “core” optimally.  It is in understanding how our body works that empowers us to become the “sole owners” of our being and take accountability for our life choices that affect our ability to thrive.
