    How Your Breath Affects The Way You Burn Fat, The Importance Of A Daily 45 Minute Walk (With Your Mouth Shut!), The Pros And Cons Of Nasal Breathing & The Five Gear Breathing System That Will Transform The Way You Handle Stress with Brian Mackenzie #547
    Apr 15 2025
    Your breath is intimately linked with every aspect of your health – from how you respond to stress to how efficiently your body burns fat. While most of us breathe over 20,000 times a day, few of us pay attention to this automatic process. But it may hold the key to transforming our physical and mental wellbeing. Today’s returning guest is the wonderful Brian Mackenzie, Founder & Creative Director of SHIFT, President of The Health and Human Performance Foundation and a world renowned human performance specialist who combines breathing techniques, movement practices, and stress adaptation training to enhance physical and mental performance. His methods have been used by Olympic athletes, professional sports teams and military special forces and Brian's work has undergone rigorous scientific testing at institutions including Stanford University School of Medicine and San Francisco State University. He is also the author of several books including, Unbreakable Runner, Power Speed Endurance and Unplugged. In this fascinating conversation, we explore: Why breathing is "the remote control to the nervous system" and how becoming aware of our breath patterns can help us instantly regulate our stress responses The relationship between the way that we breathe and our ability to burn fat The "Five Gear Breathing System" that matches our breathing technique to different activity levels, from relaxed walking to high-intensity exercise Why nasal breathing (while beneficial at rest and low intensities) might limit our performance and oxygen use during higher-intensity activities How a simple daily 45-minute walk with nasal breathing can transform our metabolism, stress resilience and mental clarity The three-stage stress response cycle and how breathwork provides a practical tool to interrupt our automatic reactions to daily triggers Why Brian believes finding joy in mundane tasks like washing dishes is possible when we focus on the process rather than constantly chasing outcomes Practical techniques to establish healthier boundaries with work, technology and stress – including Brian's approach to shutting off work by 4-5 pm and using red light in the evenings to improve sleep Brian is a remarkable individual, with an enviable track record of transforming the wellbeing and performance of a wide range of individuals, and this conversation is full of practical insights that you can utilise immediately to improve your health, performance and the overall quality of your life.

This is a must listen if a positive motivation!

So many incredible observations by Dr McGonagall and Dr Chatterjee in this podcast episode. As a health and physical education teacher I welcome this information and will share it far and wide.

Dr Rangan Chatterjee is the real deal truly caring

The first time I ever saw Dr Rangan Chatterjee was on YouTube from a British tv series - Doctor in the House -- and I thought he was so brave and effective....I am vegan so I don't agree with everything Dr Chatterjee says but I feel is tremendously caring and empowering. I saw him running around his neighborhood with someone he interviewed and I dreamed of returning to running and now I have. I am older and some of his insights are things I know about but I am learning so much including about having hope -- because I do lose "hope" and to have Dr Rangan Chatterjee on podcasts and YouTube helping us through the Covid-19 pandemic with insights and his guests are so helpful.

I have ACUTE INSOMNIA and PTSD from a violent crime over 8 years ago at a doctor's office in SOHO NYC and like too many victimes in NY I still do not have Justice.

When the Pandemic struck finally people knew what PTSD feels like how isolating it is. When I contracted COVID-19 flying out of NY for 24 hours to look for a new home I was taken to a new level of "aloneness" and isolation, fear, anxiety, etc...


Just grateful for Dr Rangan Chatterjee's podcasts are like having an online friend offering support --- he is clear he is human and has his own vulnerabilities. He cared for his Dad before he passed away which is so moving and he is coping with the success he really craved but he is learrning the challenging sides of celebrity. We learn how the pandemic has changed his life as well as he offers us tools via his insights and his diverse guests.
