Healthy Breathing Tips with Stacy Cohen
Today we’re going to continue discussing self-care in the form of healthy breathing habits. Many of our followers are undergoing stress from trying to conceive, detoxing from toxic exposures, or just their everyday lives.
A lot of people can help offset that stress by breathing through it. If you think about it, when we’re stressed, we bunch up our fingers, clench our jaws, and bring our shoulders up to our ears.
All of this causes us to hold our breath and create even more tension. That’s why we’ve invited Stacy Cohen to our IG Live today.
Stacy is a certified Oxygen Advantage Instructor, Buteyko Practitioner, Neurodynamic Breathwork Facilitator, Breathe for Change SEL Facilitator, and yoga teacher.
Today, Stacy will discuss the importance of deep breathing and gives us some pointers on incorporating deep breathing techniques into our daily routines.

Epstein-Barr Virus with Dr. Kasia Kines
Thank you for joining us today. Approximately 95% of the healthy population have Epstein-Barr Virus, also known as EBV. For most people, this virus lives dormant in their bodies. However, EBV can trigger infectious mononucleosis, also called mono. Also some factors, such as environmental toxicants, may modify EBV’s behavior.
That is why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Kasia Kines. Dr. Kines is the Founder and CEO of the Global EBV Institute and author of the bestselling book The EBV Solution.
We are going to ask Dr. Kines about deconstructing EBV, handling stress associated with EBV, and Dr. Kines’s EBV Recovery Program.
