Unlocking the Nervous System: Vision, Balance, and Breathing with Taylor Kruse

Описание: What if your pain, posture, or energy issues were rooted in your nervous system - not just your muscles? In this episode, we sit down with Taylor Kruse, movement coach and educator, to explore how applied neurology can change the way we move, breathe, and feel.

Taylor breaks down how the visual and vestibular systems affect balance, coordination, and attention and how chronic mouth breathing and low CO₂ tolerance can keep the body stuck in fight-or-flight mode. You’ll also learn simple, science-backed drills that target the brainstem, eyes, and tongue to improve movement, stability, and overall well-being.

Thanks for watching 🩷 Tell us in the comments are you a mouth breather or a nose breather?
