Through the generosity of our donors, collaborators, and hard-working volunteers, the HHP Foundation is breaking ground on the following projects:

CURRENT PROJECTS


Breathe for Teens Stress-Reduction Program

  • Disseminating pilot program findings in manuscript being written for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal

  • Developing and fundraising for feasibility randomized controlled trial for 80 teenagers in a Colorado High School 

Firefighter Longevity Program

  • Disseminating pilot program findings in manuscript being written for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal

Health & Longevity Program

  • Developing manuscript for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journal describing university-based study on the association between tolerance to endogenous carbon dioxide (CO2) and anxiety

  • Working with university collaborators to adapt for “virtual” implementation a study evaluating the effects of aerobic and nasal-breathing training on the gut microbiome

Education Programming

  • Developing scientific manuscript describing systematic literature review regarding the impact of breathing practices on stress reduction  

  • Creating searchable, indexable online science library with scientific literature related to the HHPF mission

FORTHCOMING PROJECTS


Health & Longevity Program

  • Collaborating with a Colorado medical center to develop a 12-week study evaluating the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of breathing practices on migraine frequency

  • Working with university and clinician collaborators to build research study validating the use of a timed, maximum-duration exhale test to measure tolerance to endogenous carbon dioxide (CO2)

Athletic Performance Program

  • Developing collaborations with athletic training centers, professional and collegiate teams, and corporate sponsors to build pilot programs and feasibility studies using breathing practices to improve athletic performance, recovery, and longevity

  • Working with collaborators to validate the use of a timed, maximum-duration exhale test to measure athletic recovery and training status

We need your help to keep this movement going!

Funds are needed to continue to develop and bring these life-changing programs to more adolescents, first responders, and others.

In 2019, our founding year, we were successful in raising enough funds to incorporate the organization and establish 501(c)3 charitable status with the IRS. These funds were 100% from our generous community of donors.

As HHPF’s collaborative network and the scope of our research expands, we need your financial support to continue designing, testing, and implementing our science-backed programs more broadly.
