Patrick McKeown and Daniel Daniel Pålsson of Oxygen Advantage meet with Anders Olsson of Conscious Breathing to talk about the latest in breathwork. Anders Olsson talks about his story of how he got into breathing, how it transformed his life and why he sold his house to build Conscious Breathing and spread it to the world.  Anders' breathing journey started in 2009 when he read a book called How to Swap Asthma for Life. Anders Olsson discusses how breathing helped his racing mind to unlock the turbo and slow down.  Here are a few of the things discussed during the podcast: Patrick McKeown and Anders compare breathing practices to mindfulness such as Vipassana Anders participating in the study at Stanford for James Nestors' book Breath. How mouth breathing affected sugar cravings balance when blindfolded Stress hormones such as adrenaline Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life Breathing affects all major disciplines of medicine: sleep, respiration, mental health etc. Importance of sleep Fight flight breathing on our brain function Breathing taught in schools When we reduce the fear and stress and worry we grow tremendously. Fear holds us back from our potential. Nasal breathing during exercise Adrenaline levels elevated when hyperventilating Carbon dioxide and breathing Roger Bannister, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and nasal breathing Climate change and rising CO2 levels (air hunger and hyperventilation) James Nestors' book Breath BreathQI Conscious Breathing is a peace project The future of breathing practice

The cancer whisperer, Dr T. Que Collins, PH.D., M.A.,M.S. joins Steve Scott on the Conscious Breathing podcast to discuss how breathing, carbon dioxide (CO2) and deuterium depleted water play a big role in understanding and treating cancer.  Dr Q is a leading scientist when it comes to developing and applying integrated nutrition and metabolic therapies to treat cancer in people and in pets. He is the president of Preventa America, the managing director of Better Cancer Outcomes, the chief recruitment officer for Better Cancer Outcomes Cancer Blood Sample Donation Campaign, and he is the co-founder of the Center for Deuterium Depletion, and former principal investigator of Epigenix Foundation.

On Episode 5 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast with Steve Scott, Karim Delgado from Brain Mechanics shows us his advanced multimodal approach to Alzheimer's, brain health and improving overall well-being. We dive deep into fascia work and how our memories or sensations are stored within there. How with trauma and stress our fascia is constricted around our organs and other parts of the body and how carbon dioxide therapy helps to release the contraction allowing the fascia to expand. The approach used at Brain Mechanics involves collaborating with a diverse range of health experts measuring many aspects of human physiology as well as deploying technologies to help facilitate change. Karim has created a really unique and dynamic approach that I think you will find very interesting. Please let us know your experiences with Alzheimer's in the comments below.

On today's episode of the Conscious Breathing Podcast I have fellow pulmonaut James Nestor. He is an author and journalist who has written for Outside Magazine, The New York Times, Scientific American and many others. In 2014 he released his best selling book Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science and What the Ocean Tells Us about Ourselves. It has received numerous awards. In his latest book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, he explores the million-year long history of how humans have lost the ability to breathe properly and why we are suffering from such ailments as snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, allergies and a whole host of other maladies and how we can use breathing to explore the furthest reaches of our human potential.

Episode 2 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast I'm excited to have Billy Craig. Billy started his career as an engineer for Rolls Royce where he developed the analytical understanding of how things work while not relying on assumptions but in measuring and validating. After being hit by a drunk driver and almost losing his ability to walk he was motivated to move into the fitness industry which helped restore his health and get back closer to sport. He is now a UK based independent health and nutrition researcher while completing his PHD focusing on disordered eating, compensatory behaviours, learned helplessness and metabolic adaption.

On episode 1 of the Conscious Breathing Podcast we are joined by Bud Weiss.  Bud is one of the first in the US to study and teach the Buteyko breathing method with over 25 years of experience. He worked with Alexander Stalmatsky and his protege Chris Drake to setup seminars helping apply the breathing principles to their particular illnesses.  As of late he is retired due to family obligations but still continues to work one-on-one with individuals while continuing to explore the physiological, emotional and spiritual aspects and implication of Buteyko's work and the vital importance of CO2 and it's mechanisms for creating health on all levels.
