18. Functional Breathing

w/ Andy Sabatier

Dr. Andy Sabatier is the physiotherapist behind Academy West Breathing Performance, an innovative clinic that optimizes the human breathing system. His athletic background, first as a college lacrosse player and later as a professional skier, uniquely prepared him to observe and improve human movement. After completing his doctorate at NYU and clinical training at Stanford, he became the primary ICU physical therapist in a hospital system in Central Oregon. During this time, he became obsessed with the mechanics of how we breathe and cultivated a “Breathing First” approach buttressed by the teachings of Dr. Mary Massery. Dedicated to eliminating confusion, misunderstanding, and harmful practices around breathing, his strategy relies on precise language, relatable examples, and research concepts that connect the dots on how and why it matters. Andy aims to change how humanity feels, sees, uses, and discusses this most central aspect of all life.

RARE SENSE
RARE SENSE
The Uncommon Pursuit of Mind Fitness.
RARE SENSE® is hosted by Chris Irwin, a Navy SEAL veteran who faced chronic mental and physical illness for over a decade after his military service. Throughout his journey, he delved into various aspects of mental training, including meditation, breathing exercises, emotional release techniques, and energy work. This pursuit eventually led to the complete alleviation of his symptoms, both mental and physical. He emerged with a profound understanding of what it takes to build a genuinely fit mind. On this podcast, Chris uses the knowledge he gained during that journey to discuss the modern mental health landscape while being completely vulnerable and open about his own experiences and struggles. Mental health isn't something to just treat. It's something to train.
