Hi, and welcome to Episode 002 of the Train Your Brain Podcast with Dr. Michael Trayford. This is one of our shorter, five-minute episodes where we provide a tip for improving your brain function.

The tip for Episode 002 is a simple breathing exercise called the 1:2 ratio. This is a basic, foundational breathing exercise for people who are not getting enough oxygen to their brain. The 1:2 ratio dramatically increases oxygen levels to your brain.

The exercise is simple: Breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth, for a 1:2 ratio. For example, take about four seconds to breathe in through the nose, and eight seconds to breathe out through the mouth.

If you have any concerns regarding the information and applications discussed in this podcast, please consult your physician and a doctor who is experienced in functional neurology. Michael Trayford DC, DACNB is available for consultation by calling (828) 708-5274. Thanks for listening. Continue reading →
