Welcome! Together, we can make the world healthier.

Here, in my blog, I share insights on living a healthy lifestyle grounded in science and evidence-based medicine . I teach how to integrate health into your daily life, and I also write about psychology, neurobiology, social evolution, aesthetics, and dopamine — all aspects that influence our well-being and behavior.   I firmly believe that everyone should understand how their body works and be able to apply that knowledge in practice. No one knows you better than you do, and when this self-awareness is combined with an understanding of fundamental physiological processes, it helps you make healthy and effective decisions . I study and teach effective strategies to strengthen and maintain individual health , carefully reviewing scientific research and promoting a culture of health education. For me, health is not just the absence of disease — it’s wellbeing, energy, and the body’s reserve resources . Being healthy means being effective! Everyone has the potential to learn how ...

Breathwork: inhale the best, exhale the rest!

Inhale the best, exhale the rest!   Changes in breathing accompany our emotions. During stress, the amygdala controls breathing – we "stop breathing" in a fearful situation or, conversely, start breathing too rapidly, leading to hyperventilation. Both accelerated and delayed breathing are harmful to well-being and health. When we mentally focus on something during work, we may involuntarily "freeze," tensing our muscles and holding our breath as if preparing to jump and fearing to startle our target. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as screen apnea (email or screen apnea).   Hyperventilation is initially an adaptive evolutionary stress mechanism. When CO2 decreases, the intracellular calcium level rises. This process activates the contractile properties of all muscle tissues, increases muscle tension, and heightens the sensitivity of receptors to the action of adrenaline. Hyperventilation leads to increased contractile activity of skeletal and smooth muscles...
