My Big 4 Hacks Reducing Inflammation & Boosting Your Immune System

1. Heal your gut.
Your gut is the gateway to health, and 80% of your immune system is located in your gut. Make sure your gut is in tip-top shape and take a high quality, multi-strain probiotic with at least 25 billion units.

2. Reduce alcohol and refined sugar consumption.
Even moderate alcohol consumption suppresses the central nervous system, and therefore your immune system. Consuming too much sugar can suppress the immune system and make it more difficult for your body to fight off infections like the flu. Alcohol will also cause you to overeat and beat up your hormones causing weight gain!

3. Reduce your stress.
Stress is known to suppress our immune systems. Consider meditation, Tai Chi, or acupuncture for additional relaxation techniques.

4. Get to bed early throughout the shorter days in our year.
Your body relies on sleep to recuperate from daily exposure to toxins. Chronic sleep deprivation can significantly reduce immune function and cause inflammation in the body.

You have one life, live it to its best capacity. Don’t trash it

Paul Chek’s Totem Pole is a model he developed to explain how different body systems are prioritized by the brain and nervous system. It’s essentially a hierarchy showing which survival functions the body will protect first when under stress, injury, or dysfunction.

If dysfunction occurs higher up (e.g., poor breathing mechanics or jaw problems), it can cascade downward and show up as pain or dysfunction in the hips, knees, or feet. Therefore, when assessing pain or movement issues, you can’t just treat the symptom — you need to check higher up the totem pole for root causes.

Let’s get you thinking with a quick game of True or False:

Incorrect breathing mechanics can make you fat T/F
Breathing incorrectly causes neck, shoulder and back pain T/F
Most people hyperventilate T/F
Mouth breathing is a stress response T/F
Your respiration rate is directly related to the stress response T/F
Upper chest breathing can contribute to incontinence and constipation T/F
Poor breathing can change the shape of your face and teeth T/F
Poor breathing goes hand in hand with poor posture T/F

The answers to all of the above are…TRUE.

At Brad Dwyer Holistic Movement & Lifestyle Coaching, the body is treated as a system of systems. It is known whenever something is not working optimally, it is ALWAYS affecting something else.

You breathe at least 26,000 times a day, so it’s safe to say that if you’re breathing mechanics are suffering, you’ll know about some of the symptoms above!

The human body has a hierarchy of “survival reflexes”. How are you breathing?

Do you known how to"Work in" using slow and passive movements to accumulate more energy than it costs to do the movement?This is a thing!•HR doesn't increase •Breathing doesn't elevate•Can do it on a full stomach •Tongue stays moist at all times throughout- the tongue is part of the visceral system-when you start getting to much activity the toughie drys out because the blood is coming out of the core•Use the belly to breathe-2/3 of the breath into the belly, 1/3 of the breathe into the chest•Breathe into your back-thumbs on your sides to see if you feel the increased breatheTime the movement to the breathe, breathing through the nose (parasympathetic stimulation) end of the movement = end of the breathe (bottom) Keep the body as relaxed as possible•Tongue on the top of the roof of the mouth- this helps relax the mind•Let the body relax as much as possibleMaster this and then move onto breathing squats or QiGong style movement meditations that flow, are done without intensity and calm the nervous system down with a more ‘active/passive’ approach for all those people who can’t sit still 🐒🙊

Did you know that HOW you breathe could be screwing up your body and its functions in tons of different ways?! Let’s get you thinking with a quick game of True or False:

Incorrect breathing mechanics can make you fat T/F
Breathing incorrectly causes neck, shoulder and back pain T/F
Most people hyperventilate T/F
Mouth breathing is a stress response T/F
Your respiration rate is directly related to the stress response T/F

Poor breathing goes hand in hand with poor posture T/F

The answers to all of the above are…TRUE.

At Brad Dwyer Movement Coaching, treatment is emphasised on the body as a system of systems. We have learnt to know that whenever something is not working optimally, it is ALWAYS affecting something else.

You breathe at least 26,000 times a day, so it’s safe to say that if you’re breathing mechanics are suffering, you’ll know about some of the symptoms above!

The human body has a hierarchy of “survival reflexes”. A visual interpretation of these have been developed in the CHEK Totem Pole, representing that anything from the top can affect a system below it.
Breathing is at the top, meaning it can affect anything below it on the Totem pole. This includes mastication, hearing, vision, the neck/spine or lower back, your digestion and mood.

It can even affect all the way down to your hip, knee or ankle!

Who would’ve thought the way you breathe could hurt your hip, eh?

There is something truely beautiful & special about the people I work closely with, I am truely blessed to know .tuck. A dear friend and client of mine now for several years, thank you KT 🥰

“I highly recommend training with Brad. He leads in a way that encourages rather than dominates, helping me discover a deeper understanding of myself while fostering independence in the integration of my body, mind, and soul.

As a front-line child and youth wellbeing professional, I often face significant stressors and safety concerns that can affect my nervous system.
In this overly cognitive world, I tend to overthink, but it’s important to remember that we are not just our thoughts; the nervous system connects our body and its innate knowledge. By trusting my body to lead, I connect with my entire being.

Thanks to Brad’s holistic approach, I’ve learned the importance of maintaining balance in my life. Additionally, his family-oriented values, delivered with humour, have positively impacted my two teenage children who train with him, helping them gain a better understanding of themselves in this colourful world.

I encourage you to jump in, action and movement bring joy.”

For years after breaking my nose in 1996, breathing was a daily struggle. I’d wake up exhausted, my mouth dry from breathing through it all night. I have even experienced teeth breaking as a result of the mouth breathing. Exercise started to leave me winded—not from being unfit, but because my nose barely worked. The septum wasn’t just deviated; it was squashed in two places, and the turbinates were so swollen they blocked what little airflow I had left.

Beyond that, the injury had left my nose visibly flat 😂. It was a constant reminder in every photo and mirror. I learned to hide from cameras, tilt my head a certain way, or laugh with my hand near my face. But more than vanity, it was the feeling of not being whole. It was like I was living in a body that never fully healed.

I tried everything over the years—mouth taping, essential oils, humidifiers—but nothing helped. Recovery felt impossible. I got used to the discomfort and the quiet frustration of knowing something was wrong, yet being told it wasn’t “bad enough” for surgery. Until finally, after decades, I had the septum straightened, the turbinates reduced, and the nose reshaped.

It’s strange learning to breathe properly after so long—but it’s also the first time in years I feel like I’m not fighting my own body just to exist.
