Team, As mentioned earlier this week we're going to help @Swati Thakur bring the Physiology First Approach to 500 medical students. Let's have some fun designing the best possible approach to implementation in this unique and high impact setting. Here's where I would suggest starting. Step One: Announce a Foundations of Breath lecture. Online, in-person, or hybrid depending on logistics of bringing everyone together. Step Two: @Swati Thakur opens the lecture with her "why" and earns the trust and ear of the room. She shares 3 core principles from our Foundations of Breath module. For a group this size I would share the simplest principles from the module: Breathe through the nose, breathe lightly. 📸 Me presenting exactly these principles to a large group of students. Co2 tolerance testing, breathing biomechanics, personalized breath training work in small groups - simple, easy to implement principles in large groups. She could then offer the following digital resources from Physiology First. A digital copy of my book, Breathe to Perform and our Breathe to Perform app w/ audio tracks as an accompaniment to the lecture. https://breathe-perform-physiologyfirst.replit.app/about She could close by letting everyone know they are invited to be part of a 30 day Breath Awareness Pilot Program - informal and designed to help them reduce stress, heighten awareness, and build a more conscious relationship to their breath. 30 Day Breath Awareness Pilot Program🫁 Can 3 Simple Breathing Principles Shift Resting Physiology in Medical Students? “This informal pilot explores whether 30 days of breath awareness is associated with measurable changes in resting heart rate, respiration rate, stress, focus, and energy.” Use a 3-day baseline, then a 24-day practice period, then a 3-day final reassessment. Days 1–3: Baseline Just measure: • Morning resting heart rate
