You track your macros.
You do breathwork.
You lift heavy things and drink green stuff.
But if you’re still breathing through your mouth…
Your body is stuck in survival mode.
Mouth breathing is for emergencies.
But most women are doing it all day long—while working, scrolling, and especially while sleeping.
The problem?
Mouth breathing = shallow breathing
Shallow breathing = upper lungs only
Upper lungs = panic signals to your nervous system
And suddenly you’re living in low-grade fight-or-flight…
even when you’re just sitting in a Zoom meeting.
Nasal breathing, on the other hand?
✔ Activates your diaphragm
✔ Delivers oxygen deeper
✔ Signals safety to your brain
✔ Helps reduce bloat, anxiety, and tension
✔ Supports proper facial structure, better sleep, and immunity
(Yes—how you breathe literally shapes your face.)
🧠 QUICK WIN:
Close your mouth.
Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 seconds.
Exhale for 6–8 seconds.
That’s your parasympathetic nervous system saying: thank you.
