Meet Dr. Lindsay Bira, a clinical health psychologist specializing in PTSD and stress management, who shares her recent experiences from a PADI dive course in Marathon Key, Florida. Dr. Bira's insights into the mental resilience required for freediving, especially as demonstrated by veterans overcoming significant physical challenges, highlight the healing potential that the ocean provides.

From spearfishing to the science of the mammalian dive reflex, this podcast discusses the intersection between biology, psychology, and personal empowerment.
We discuss dopamine and serotonin in reward-seeking behaviors and learn how mastering breath-holding can push you beyond your perceived limitations.
