The organization aims “to support initiatives ranging from intimate local efforts to global programs that promote physical and mental health, nurture education and cultivate loving action”.This is a great podcast for anyone interested in the strides many modern medical and dental professionals are making to change how they treat patients and the things they can do to improve healing for the body and mind.Dr. Sami’s practice is Happy Kids Dental Planet. https://happykidsdentalplanet.com/.Download our podcast on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/show/5XTS4B3ODaEfsbNOBmYb6dTry the free Oxygen Advantage® Breathing App, available now.📱 Android Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oxygen.advantage📱 Apple store: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/oxygen-advantage/id1589260950🔗 CONNECT WITH Patrick McKeown (Oxygen Advantage®)💻 Website - https://oxygenadvantage.com/  🎙Podcast - https://oxygenadvantage.com/podcasts/ 📹 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/OxygenAdvantage📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/oxygenadvantage/?hl=en 📱 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/theoxygenadvantage/💼 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/oxygenadvantage🐥 Twitter - https://twitter.com/oxygenadvantage?lang=en

“If [companies] implement stress management… magical things can happen.”Welcome back to the Oxygen Advantage® podcast. In the latest episode Patrick is joined by OA Master Instructor Lars Christian Larssen to speak about teaching breathing in the corporate environment and innovation in the ways in which companies deal with the stress and anxieties of their employees. Lars is from Norway, just an hour outside Oslo and has spent years teaching functional breathing training in the corporate environment. He found his way to breathing when he was dealing with severe work stresses when he worked for a large Norwegian media company. Conflicts at work and the anxiety it caused was eating him up inside, disturbing his sleep and making his life incredibly stressful.Working under a “great boss”, Lars’ company looked at Google’s famous 20% Innovation time, where engineers are encouraged to take 20% of their week to work on new projects that interest them. They allowed workers to spend 10% of their time on passion projects. Lars wanted to develop strategies for stress management and performance management in the workplace and the freedom at work allowed him to do this.This is a great podcast for those interested in ways to combat stress in the working environment or innovative ways to look at human resource management in the modern workplace.Lars can be reached via his Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/larssen1/.

“Men perceive or suffer differently from depression and they deal with it differently.”In this week’s episode of the OA podcast, Patrick and Daniel are joined by Oxygen Advantage® master instructor and psychologist Alessandro Romagnoli and OA instructor, coach, breathwork expert and freediver Angela Leibinger to speak about men’s mental health, freediving and breathing.Angela is involved with breathing, free diving, and coaching and Alessandro is a psychologist with a specialty in cognitive neuroscience both are closely involved with functional breathing and both have worked closely with men suffering from depression.5% of the world’s adult population suffer from depression.

Men are four times more likely to die by suicide and three times more likely to drink alcohol or take drugs as a coping mechanism.In this episode the team attempt to look at how depression can affect men differently, how the signs of depression can present in different ways for men and how even the language we use to describe depression can be a big reason why men don’t engage.This episode looks at the biological and the psychological aspects of depression for men and how clinical intervention mixed with functional breathing practices can be a huge benefit to countless men around the world.Want to know more about the Oxygen Advantage®?

“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.Visit www.drlouiseolivertherapeuticlifecoaching.com for more from Dr. Oliver.Try the free Oxygen Advantage® Breathing App, available now. 📱 Android Play Store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oxygen.advantage 📱 Apple store:https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/oxygen-advantage/id1589260950 🔗 CONNECT WITH Patrick McKeown (Oxygen Advantage®)💻 Website - https://oxygenadvantage.com/ 🎙Podcast - https://oxygenadvantage.com/podcasts/ 📹 YouTube Channel -https://www.youtube.com/c/OxygenAdvantage 📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/oxygenadvantage/?hl=en 📱 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/theoxygenadvantage/ 💼 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/oxygenadvantage 🐥 Twitter - https://twitter.com/oxygenadvantage?lang=en
