What Makes This Blueprint Medically Rigorous
- Physiology grounded - Vagus nerve, HRV, autonomic seesaw, lung volumes, Boyle's Law all explained simply
- Evidence cited - Frontiers in Psychiatry, Ancient Science of Life, Murray & Nadel's Respiratory Medicine, Harrison's Internal Medicine, and recent RCTs (PMIDs 35167359, 41176182)
- Clinical applications table - COPD, hypertension, anxiety, T2DM, migraine, post-COVID rehab
- Safety-first design - Full contraindications table (absolute vs. relative), with red-flag callouts before Kapalabhati
- 3-phase progressive protocol - Weeks 1–2 foundation → Weeks 3–6 building → Weeks 7+ integration
- Participant handout - 7-day practice log, personal commitment form, notes template built-in to the DOCX
Design Highlights (PPTX)
