The host and Debbie delve into the science and benefits of breathwork, discussing how proper breathing techniques can significantly influence our physical and mental health.

Deb Gutierrez is a Certified Nutritional Therapist and a Functional and Therapeutic Breathwork Practitioner. In her practice, she uses nutrition, movement, and the breath to prevent and help those with metabolic disease, heart conditions, stress, and anxiety. In December 2021, Deb discovered she was born with a Congenital Heart Defect, had an embolic stroke, and underwent Open Heart Surgery. She found the power of the breath after going through the healing process. In her practice with clients, she finds stress, anxiety, and fear to be the common denominators that lead to illness and uses the healing power of the breath with clients to feel well, be well, and live well.
