Breathing for Women: A Doctor’s Breathing Journey

“Breathing. We do it automatically, but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically efficient.”

On the latest episode of the Oxygen Advantage® podcast, Patrick is joined by General Practitioner and Breathing Therapist, Dr. Louise Oliver.

Having worked with women going through the menopause and contraception for over 20 years, Dr. Oliver is the perfect guest to talk about women’s breathing, the perimenopause and the menopause.

For over 20 years Dr. Oliver has been working with women on contraception and HRT. It was during this time that Dr. Oliver experimented with using breathing for pain relief. During this time, she had a profound moment. When working with one patent, she used breathing exercises to put her into an incredibly relaxed state but when she tried that with other patients, doing the same thing made them feel much worse.

This was when she realized how breathing can affect people differently and decided to train as a breathing practitioner. In doing so she found that the missing link was carbon dioxide sensitivity. It was then that she realized there was a whole spectrum of breathing that needed to be considered.

She has since set up her own breathing practice alongside her GP practice and has used this experience to train other doctors to look at people’s breathing as an indicator of other symptoms.

Anyone interested in the effects of menopause, the way symptoms can be mitigated with breathing therapy, and the medical professionals are should listen to this podcast.
