Can you breathe your way to a better mood and reduced anxiety? This week’s guest says it's possible! Medcan consulting psychologist Dr. Amanda Beaman chats with the medical director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University, Dr. David Spiegel, a physician.

Here, Dr. Spiegel explains how to perform cyclic sighing, and describes the way it uses the parasympathetic nervous system to improve affect.
