106. Breathing--You're Probably Doing It Wrong, with James Nestor

Oct 7, 2020

Take a deep breath, because it might be your last without giving it some serious thought from here on out.  NY Times Bestselling Author and journalist James Nestor is taking years of incredible research and self-experimentation and applying it all to the world of breathing, sharing all the benefits it can provide with the world. This conversation with James may very well be the most eye-opening (or nose-opening) conversation around health that you’ve heard in years. Get ready, because this episode is going to take your breath away.  Ok no more breath clichés, promise. 

 

James talks about...

• Why we needed another book about breathing
• How we have become a culture of mouth breathers and what it's doing to our physiology--spoiler alert: it's not cute
  
• How we get more (not less) oxygen by breathing slowly through our noses
• How breathing affects your posture
• Why our mouths are getting smaller and how it affects our airways
  
• The sleep apnea epidemic and what we can do about it
  
• The benefits of staying calm to breathe, growth, and healing
