Tom stort zich deze week op de ademhaling: van de Wim Hof-methode tot een intensieve breathwork class. Maar hoeveel invloed heeft ademen nou echt op stress, energie, sport en zelfs je mentale gezondheid? Alexander duikt in de fysiologie achter ademprikkels, paniek, neuzen, monden en mindset.
Kortom: eindelijk helderheid over iets wat we elke dag doen zonder erbij na te denken, maar misschien zouden we dat juist wat vaker wel moeten doen.

In deze aflevering:
💨 Kan je stress verlagen door anders te ademen?
👃 Waarom neusademhaling beter is dan mondademhaling
🏋️ Kun je met ademhaling je energie en sportprestatie verbeteren?
🧠 Is breathwork echt helpend bij depressie?Tom ademt, hyperventileert en experimenteert; Alexander fileert de feiten zodat jij voortaan weet welke ademhalingstechnieken nuttig zijn, en welke vooral lucht.
