Hi, I’m Nick Heath, Ph.D., T1D

I'm a scientist, researcher, and certified breathing instructor living with type 1 diabetes for over 20 years. What started as a personal quest to better manage my diabetes through breathing has evolved into a mission to help others harness the power of their breath.

At age 30, I discovered that simple breathing changes could dramatically improve my blood sugars, sleep, and energy levels. As a scientist, I needed to understand why. This curiosity led me to read hundreds of research papers, complete multiple certifications, and dedicate my life to bridging the gap between ancient breathing wisdom and modern science.
