In this episode, Melissa sits down with Bryan Mirabella, a lifelong athlete who has spent decades healing from childhood trauma after two severe head injuries. These experiences led him to discover the profound impact of breathwork in processing trauma and achieving wellness. Bryan shares how conscious nasal breathing can help us dissipate shock, live in harmony, and cultivate peace in our daily lives. Melissa, who has worked with Bryan to enhance her own breathwork practice, discusses the importance of silent, low, gentle, and deep breathing—a method Bryan guides listeners through in this episode. A huge advocate for low-impact movements, Bryan emphasizes keeping the body close to homeostasis, avoiding unnecessary stress. They also touch on how common issues like congestion are directly linked to diet. Bryan, who follows a fruitarian diet and consumes 98% raw fruit, explains how this lifestyle has transformed his well-being, emphasizing the power of fruit enzymes for optimal performance. He also draws insights from traditional Chinese medicine, stressing that the body should never be overworked, whether through extreme wellness practices, overly intense workouts, or improper breathing.
