How we know what works
Every technique on Brizzy carries our honest confidence call, weighing the research, the mechanism behind it, tradition, and how people actually use it.
We're confident. Go for it.
Replicated results, or a large steady evidence base.
Example: slow breathing for heart-rate variability (HRV)
We'd recommend it.
A good trial plus a clear mechanism - works for this case, not everything.
Example: Cyclic Sighing for calming the body
It may help. Worth a try.
The early signal is real, but still mixed.
Example: Oxygen Wave for energy
Experimental. Try it if you're curious.
Safe and logical - nobody's fairly tested it yet.
Example: Box Breathing for focus
Every call ships with its receipt
- The real numbers - per-group participants, not the headline total a press release quotes.
- Both sides - what a study proved, and what it didn't. The gap is where hype lives.
- A living grade - when new research lands, the call moves with it.
On a technique page
For calming the body: one well-built Stanford study[1] - backed by a clear mechanism. Replication is the open question.
An honest call, not a promise - our reading of the evidence, not a guarantee it works for you, never a replacement for medical care.
Brizzy does not conduct clinical trials and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. Confidence calls reflect our interpretation of publicly available research and may change over time.

A Living World of Breathing
Brizzy was created as something we genuinely wanted for ourselves - a more human, motivating, and beautiful way to learn breathing over time.
Breathing is a self-regulation tool you can carry with you for life. That is why Brizzy includes progress systems like levels, streaks, and session history, making the practice feel more engaging and worth returning to.
Some of these features already support logged-in users today. Others are part of the world we are actively building next.
A tiny future secret - the Brizzometer.
A playful Brizzy meter for mood, energy, and breathing momentum.
Designed to grow with you.
