Max Lowenstein - That One Time I Grew a Yoga Platform to 1M+ Followers

Can the way you breathe change how anxious you feel? We sat down with Max Lowenstein, a registered dietitian nutritionist with a master's in clinical nutrition and a breathwork guide. He co-founded the yoga platform How To Practice Yoga and the mushroom brand Nutro Mushroom.

Max explains how a nutritionist differs from a dietitian, why he left hospital work when five minutes with a patient meant up to 30 on paperwork, and the hand test that shows if you breathe into your chest or belly. We also get into the four levels of listening, the $10 billion focus test he uses to show you are not your thoughts, and why he says stretching is your brain learning that a position is safe.

Max has been vegan for almost 11 years, yet says no single diet is the healthiest, and that anyone speaking in absolutes about food is a red flag.
