Pain perception differs depending on the concentration of sex hormones in the body, and dysfunctional breathing can aggravate pain.

That same over-breathing contributes to anxiety and can derail our stress management strategies.

Women who smile enter menopause about a year and a half earlier than those who don’t. This already points to an obvious link between menopause and overall wellbeing and, more specifically, respiratory health.
