Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations podcast! In this episode, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Dr. Richard Blake, a leading expert in conscious connected breathwork and the principal investigator of the largest randomized controlled trial on this transformative practice. Dr. Blake shares his journey from traditional psychotherapy to pioneering breathwork, discusses the science behind altered states of consciousness, and explores the limitations of conventional mental health approaches. This episode is a must-watch for parents, health practitioners, and anyone interested in holistic healing, mental resilience, and optimizing human potential.

 

Highlights:

“Conscious connected breathwork is not just a placebo, it’s doing real things in the body and brain.”

 

“The best outcomes come from balance and moderation, not from extremism on either side.”

 

“Problems only change when people enter these pivotal mental states, talking about them isn’t enough.”

 

“I want to be a voice of reason and truth, free from bias, and help people find real solutions.”
