Your Provider Has Recommended Precise Breath
Precise Breath finds the specific breathing pace that produces the strongest response in your cardiovascular system — your resonant frequency — using a chest strap heart rate sensor, and guides your daily practice.

Notes:
What the Research Shows
- Stress & Anxiety — A meta-analysis of 24 studies found that HRV biofeedback using resonant frequency breathing was associated with significant reductions in self-reported stress and anxiety (Goessl et al., 2017).
- Blood Pressure — Controlled studies have associated resonant frequency breathing with reductions in blood pressure and improved baroreflex sensitivity (Steffen et al., 2017).
- Autonomic Balance — Regular practice has been associated with strengthened autonomic regulation and improved heart rate variability over time (Lehrer & Gevirtz, 2014).
These findings describe published research on resonant frequency breathing as a practice. Precise Breath is a wellness tool — not a medical device. Individual results may vary.
Getting Started
-
Get a Chest Strap Sensor
You will need a Bluetooth chest strap heart rate monitor. The Polar H10 (~$100) is recommended for its research-validated accuracy. The Garmin HRM Dual also works. Wrist sensors and smartwatches are not supported. -
Download Precise Breath
Available on Google Play (Android) and the App Store (iOS). A one-time Premium unlock ($14.99) enables the HRV analysis modes your provider recommends. -
Run Your First Calibration
The Calibrate session (~14 minutes) tests 5 breathing rates to find your starting point. Turn on Do Not Disturb, wet the chest strap electrodes, and sit comfortably. -
Practice Daily
Use Resonate mode for 15–20 minutes each day at your identified rate. Use Explore mode periodically to refine your frequency over time.
