Your nervous system doesn’t care whether you’re in a clinic, at a desk, in the gym, or lying awake at 2 a.m. When stress hits, it hits the same way: faster heart, tighter chest, scattered attention. Box breathing (also called square or tactical breathing) is one of the few tools that works in all of those moments. Four seconds in, four hold, four out, four hold. No equipment, no special setting, no learning curve beyond counting to four. It is a fast, “always with you” way to take the wheel back.

Most antioxidant supplements try to mop up free radicals from the outside. A more useful approach is helping your cells make more of their own primary antioxidant, glutathione.

NAC is one of the most practical ways to do that. It supplies the key building block (cysteine) so your body can raise its own glutathione levels. Pairing it with glycine and adequate selenium covers more of the system and tends to work better than NAC alone.

The full post breaks down how it works, what the research actually shows (including the GlyNAC trials), practical dosing, and why supporting the body’s built-in antioxidant system is different from just taking more external scavengers like vitamin C.

Qigong & The Science of Breath: Physiology, Neuroscience, and Embodied Wisdom

Breath is life’s most intimate rhythm. For thousands of years, Qigong masters placed it at the center of practice. Today, science is catching up. My new book, Qigong and the Science of Breath, bridges ancient wisdom with modern physiology and neuroscience. Clear science. Embodied understanding. Meet your breath with greater skill and confidence.

When the day is already full with work, training, creative projects, and everything else, you need tools that actually work in the middle of it.

Resonance breathing, also called coherence breathing, is one of the simplest and best-studied. Slow the breath to about five or six breaths a minute. No equipment. No complicated technique. Just a clear way to raise heart rate variability, settle the nervous system, and regain calm and clarity.

The full post walks through how to practice it, why it works, and the research behind it.

The calligraphy surrounding me in this image comes from several passages in the Dao De Jing. Together, they point toward a simple idea: harmony is not something we force. It is something we learn to recognize and move with.

Chapter 25 says: “Humanity follows Earth; Earth follows Heaven; Heaven follows the Dao; the Dao follows what is naturally so.” We are not separate from nature. When we pay attention to the patterns already moving through us and around us, harmony begins to emerge more naturally.

Chapter 42 describes creation unfolding from a single source: “The Dao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; Two gives birth to Three; Three gives birth to the ten thousand things.”

Unity becomes polarity. Polarity creates relationship, and from that relationship comes the fullness of life. Everything appears separate, yet everything arises from the same source.

Chapter 8 offers another image: “The highest goodness is like water.” Water adapts without becoming weak. It benefits everything without demanding recognition, and it moves with tremendous power without relying on unnecessary force.

The surrounding calligraphy also refers to clarity, stillness and wu wei, action without forcing. These ideas sit at the heart of Daoist practice.

We do not become more aligned by struggling to control every moment. We learn to listen, adapt and participate more fully in the natural movement of life. This is also what we cultivate through Qigong: not passivity, but presence without strain.

Life moves fast. Your nervous system doesn’t have to.

4-7-8 breathing is one of the simplest tools we have for rapid calm. Inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Four cycles. One to two minutes. That’s it.

The long exhale stimulates the vagus nerve, shifts you out of fight-or-flight, and helps restore balance. No equipment. No special place. Just you and your breath. I just put up a full scientific write up at the blog.

In the Inner Resonance app the timer handles the counts so you can simply stay present with the process. Try it for a week and notice what shifts.

A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis examined qigong for subjective cognitive complaints in cancer survivors. The pooled effect size reached Hedges’ g of 1.22. That is a large effect by conventional standards. Most of the included trials also recorded concurrent improvements in fatigue, sleep quality, and mood scores.

The data are limited to self-report measures in the majority of studies. Objective neuropsychological testing remains sparse. Durability beyond a few months is still unclear. Sample sizes were modest and breast cancer predominated.

Still, the direction of effect was consistent. For a low-risk intervention that can be scaled to different functional levels, the findings warrant attention in supportive care planning.

Life piles up fast: training, creative work, difficult people. Sometimes the only response left is a sigh. That reflex is useful.

Cyclic sighing turns the natural double inhale and long exhale into a rapid reset for the nervous system. A 2023 Stanford trial found it outperformed other breathing methods and mindfulness for mood and physiological calm. I've written a quick review over at my blog.

Can the way you breathe change the strength in your legs?

A new study on experienced Tai Chi practitioners suggests that reverse abdominal breathing may do more than stabilize the core. It may also increase the recruitment of key muscles in the hips, thighs, and lower legs, while helping the nervous system coordinate balance and weight transfer more effectively.

In this new article, I explore how breathing may influence lower-limb strength, joint stability, muscle synergy, and the timing of movement during Tai Chi.

Read the full post to discover why the breath may not simply accompany movement, but help organize it.
