Using Breathwork to Overcome Alcohol Addiction: A Conversation With Hans Whygold

Can breathing really change your life? In this episode of '1000 Days Sober', Lee Davy chats with Hans Weygold, a breathwork facilitator and life coach, who believes it can. Hans shares his compelling story of battling depression and anxiety while working in his family business, and how discovering breathwork was the turning point that led him to quit his job and embrace a new purpose.

Through breathwork, Hans found a way to reconnect with himself and help others do the same. He explains how our natural belly-breathing as babies shifts to shallow chest-breathing over time, causing stress and anxiety. By re-learning to breathe deeply, we can tap into our parasympathetic nervous system, bringing calm and clarity. Hans also discusses the profound personal growth that breathwork can facilitate, allowing individuals to access parts of themselves they may have ignored or never knew existed.

His insights are not just theoretical; they come from his own transformative experiences. If you're curious about how something as simple as breathing can aid in addiction recovery and personal transformation, this episode is a must-listen.
