Welcome back to the Compromised to Alchemized podcast. In this episode I chat with Greg Mc Lean, a leading expert and educator whose mission is to demystify the complex connection between our breathing, sleep, jaw, nasal function, and overall health. Greg provides both virtual and in-person support, helping people around the world optimize their fundamental life function: breathing.

This conversation gets into the "nitty gritty" of what both Greg and I meticulously investigate in our respective practices. We reflect on the amazing training Greg hosted for my "Floor of the Mouth" course in Arizona this summer, where I was able to witness the transformative impact of his work firsthand.

Greg shares his personal journey—a fascinating pivot from electrical engineering and firefighting to becoming a dedicated movement and breathing trainer. He opens up about his childhood health struggles with asthma, his critical discovery of hypermobility, and his personal legend.

Greg has the unique ability to take diverse concepts from disciplines like yoga, sports' specific training, physical therapy, traditional weight lifting, and boxing, and combine them into a hybrid style of training. The core principle of his method is building a strong body from the core outward. He believes that once every joint is strong and flexible, clients achieve a balanced fitness program and a body ready to handle any challenge.
