BREATHE. | Joe DiStefano | TEDxLugano
What is the most fundamental aspect of our survival and wellbeing that we most commonly overlook? In this inspiring talk, Joe DiStefano reveals the importance of getting back to fundamentals through our own breath.
Joe DiStefano is a lifestyle and fitness expert who solves chronic health problems with simple lifestyle adjustments. Over the past five years, he has lectured on coaching, training, nutrition, lifestyle, and obstacle race preparation all over the world, to experts and professionals from over 30 countries. He is currently the Director of Sport at Spartan Race, the world’s leading obstacle racing company. Joe is also the founder of RUNGA, an eight-day retreat in Costa Rica designed to help busy people unplug and unwind.
Joe’s philosophy of health revolves around simple lifestyle changes that anyone can make at any time. His simple method, which he first used to recover from a traumatic brain injury, revolves around the optimization of breathing, movement, and sleep patterns. He has used it to help several thousand clients, and his work has been featured in several print and online publications such as Men’s Health, Men’s Journal, Outside, and SELF.
Joe currently lives in Boston, MA.

I have been using this technique for 2 days before going to bed. Results: I have slept 2 nights in row, with no pain and no pain meds. So last night I forgot to do it. Today the tightness and pain is incredible. I won't forget tonight.

I have been doing yoga for over 40 years. All our modern science ie western science owes a lot to Indian/Ayurvedic science and Chinese taichi/qiqong science. Great lecture as it enhances my knowledge of both Ayurvedic and Chinese sciences. Thank you.

I loved this. I've been teaching Pilates for 18 years, so I totally understand the importance of breathing right. I also knew that heart rate variability has a very close association with heart disease risk, but I've never seen the two put together like this. Massive light bulb moment, thanks so much. Excellently presented.

Joe DiStefano did a great job with this talk. I help people with Intentional Nasal Breathing as well in my coaching practice. Those of us who teach others this are called pulmanauts!
I love this! Heart Math Institute has been studying HRV for about 30 years. It seems more and more people are talking about HRV. I'm pretty sure I heard someone like Dr. Wayne Dyer say, "JUMP IN EVERY PUDDLE!" I shared this over and over.
BRAVO! This talk has connected so many dots for me. Something so simple and right in front of you and with our civilization a simple deep breath !GOD is sooooo good we don't even know ! 💜
Unless if you have already experienced what he is talking about, alot of people will go home and pick back up where they left off and give it no more thought. But if you go through the experience of his talk yourself and Trust the importance of breathe, then your life will start to change for the better, with consitance pratice of course..💙 ~~~Peace~~~

Question everything and do your own research. Especially on vital topics like health and politics. Also stop using Google and opt for an uncensored search engine like duckduckgo or startpage. There is much more but that’s a good start.

Good job !...this man has that vibe i need ....im going to start breathing.
For energy in the afternoon, I hold my breath with my cheeks puffed out and hold that breath as long as I can. Just a couple of times, energy is renewed.
It's ANULOM VILOM, but motivational speech & excellent method to communicate the message.

Excellent! I've been recovering from an overwhelming illness for 2.5 years. I am just realizing how much this kind of therapy has contributed to my apparent recovery. Just wanted to encourage you to pay attention to your breath. You can recover from most anything. The sympathetic overdrive is probably the biggest reason I (and many others) got sick.
Thank you so much, will share with my friends
This is amazing. Thank you.
This was an eye opener for the different breaths, I'm going to try this for sure tks for the info!
Thanks for the great info! Listen to this yesterday, and the techniques were already helpful for today.
This is so informative and spot on!
Thank you! Such an amazing talk 🙏
Seeing this video again. I remember pulling grass on rock landscape for 2 hours with 2 heels level on the ground. I got sore on my hamstrings a day or two later but my back was at its best. These baby positions never fail, sitting on a chair or stool while working low on the ground does more harm on your body than good.
