The 15-Minute Habit That Prevents Attorney Burnout with Leah Lagos — Episode 435

Описание: Your heart reveals more about your performance capacity than you think.

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Leah Lagos, clinical psychologist and performance expert, to explore the science of heart rate variability and how a simple breathing practice can transform cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience. From working with elite athletes on the PGA Tour to coaching world leaders and executives, Dr. Lagos breaks down how resonant frequency breathing changes baseline heart rhythms, prevents cognitive fatigue, and allows high performers to make critical decisions without fear. This conversation will equip you with the physiological tools that separate sustained excellence from burnout.

Key Moments:
02:58 – Dr. Leah Lagos explains the science of resonant frequency breathing and how it creates homeostasis in the nervous system.
06:20 – Why comparing your HRV to others is meaningless and what metrics actually matter for performance.
12:06 – How chronic stress compounds over time and shows up reliably in your heart rate variability.
13:36 – The lifestyle factors that tank HRV: alcohol, dehydration, excessive caffeine, and who you spend time with.
17:59 – Why HRV training expands prefrontal lobe bandwidth and prevents cognitive fatigue under pressure.
22:35 – How resonant frequency breathing differs from meditation and produces measurable baseline changes in four weeks.
28:45 – The practical protocol: 15 minutes twice a day, finding your resonant frequency, and committing for ten weeks.
37:35 – The role of vagal tone in connecting heart, gut, and brain for better decision-making and health.
39:25 – Why breathwork is a must-have practice for longevity and sustained excellence, not just recovery.
