068. The Breathing Cure: Breathing Techniques to Help You Become Healthier, Slimmer, Faster & Fitter - Patrick Mckeown
The nose is the only organ in the human body that does breathing. The mouth does absolutely zero.
Today I have none other than international best-selling author of The Oxygen Advantage and creator and master instructor of the Oxygen Advantage® technique, Patrick McKeown is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading breathing re-education experts.
Over the past two decades, Patrick has trained thousands of people around the world to safely challenge their bodies and produce positive changes through breathing re-education. He teaches a new way to breathe, combined with specific exercises designed to improve blood chemistry. The result is an increase of oxygen flow to all the body’s systems, meaning greater endurance, strength and power.
His latest book The Breathing Cure, shows 26 easy breathing exercises & natural solutions to anxiety/panic disorder, asthma/allergies, insomnia, lower back pain, sleep apnea, sexual performance, high blood pressure, and even diabetes. We even talk about how you can breathe for immunity and what to do if you have CO-V!D.
