“All you need to do is keep going. Put one foot in front of the other… and you will figure it out.”
On the latest episode of the Oxygen Advantage® podcast, Patrick McKeown talks to fitness influencer, nutritionist, health coach and breathing practitioner, Becca Gillen.
Coming from a nursing background, Becca first started gaining public attention when she would to post about the difficulties of nursing during the early days of Instagram. From there she started her influencer journey and has had an up-and-down journey in recent years.
After starting to build a successful business, Becca ran into a difficult few years. She was hit hard by both COVID and Long COVID and was often bedridden with no energy. Along with that, her business dropped to near zero in the wake of the pandemic lockdown.
It was during lockdown that Becca really started addressing her breathing as a way to address her COVID issues. By practicing daily breathing exercises and ice baths, Becca was able start making incremental improvements that say her health and fitness return to normal levels.
This is a really great listen for anyone interested in the ways we are faced with adversity and we can learn not only to overcome it, but thrive.
