Neuroscience Meets Breathwork: The Surprising Cure for Stress & Addiction - Hamza Najam

Want to stop drinking, binging, overspending—or whatever habit you wish you had more control over?

What if the key to real, lasting change is something as simple (and powerful) as breathwork?

I know, I know—we’ve been breathing our whole lives. So how could this possibly be the game-changer?

Our guest today says it’s not that we breathe—it’s that we’ve never used our breath intentionally. And that difference might be what’s been missing in your journey toward healing.

We dive into breathwork, but we also go deeper: Have you ever asked why you numb out with food, alcohol, shopping, or scrolling?

Not just surface-level reasons—but the real root causes. What if that nightly glass of wine isn’t just about stress, but about grief, disappointment, or feeling stuck in life?

What if your habits are quietly helping you avoid loneliness, conflict, or painful self-reflection?

Today, we’re exploring the neuroscience of change, the habits we lean on to cope, and how small intentional shifts—like breathwork—can open the door to a different life. You're not a lost cause. (Yes, I say that a lot—but maybe this time, you’ll finally believe me 😊.) So take a deep breath. Let’s learn, grow, and breathe through this together.
