HHPF is using science to explore simple breathing practices that provide immediate and long-term physiological changes to the body’s performance systems.
By providing accessible, non-pharmacological and scientifically-validated solutions to today’s stress-management crisis, our work is having wide-ranging implications across many populations.
Why is this work important?
Poor stress regulation reduces mental and physical performance across all aspects of life. Not only does this cost lives and quality of life, but trying to fix resulting problems costs extensive private and public resources.
Current solutions are limited to non-scalable and often inaccessible practices (e.g., private coaching), drugs with extensive side effects and limited efficacy, and other quick-fixes that deteriorate long-term physiological adaptability.
