Your breath can influence growth hormone.
Small controlled studies show that just 5 minutes of specific breathing can significantly increase growth hormone levels.
By briefly altering oxygen and carbon dioxide through slow, rhythmic breathing with short breath holds, your nervous system receives a safe stress signal that prompts pituitary hormone release, similar to fasting or intense exercise.
Breathwork is not a replacement for sleep, nutrition, or movement, but it is a direct lever on physiology.
Used consistently, it can support recovery, metabolism, and cellular repair within your body.
