A short YouTube clip (Living Light Metabolic Coach) arguing that chronic sympathetic (fight-or-flight) activation is common in modern life and that people often resort to alcohol, drugs, and other unhealthy coping mechanisms. The speaker’s main recommendation is that proper breathing techniques are a simple, effective alternative to calm the nervous system.

The nervous system is not meant to be nervous all the time. This is like the default setting for most people, right? We're just like. There's just so much going on in our lives, and there's so many things that are driving our sympathetic nervous system, which is our fight or flight nervous system. And people really don't have good tools for it. So what do they turn to? They turn to alcohol, they turn to drugs. They turn to all kinds of crazy things that don't serve them. But all they had to do was learn how to breathe correctly.
