Today, I am blessed to have here with me Patrick McKeown. World-renowned author and breathing practitioner Patrick McKeown was educated at Trinity College in Dublin, before completing his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko. From a young age, Patrick suffered from asthma and relied on an array of medicines and inhalers until he discovered the Buteyko Method at the age of 26, experiencing immediate relief from his symptoms. By applying the principals of the Buteyko Method, Patrick remains asthma-free since then, a feat that over 20 years of medication had failed to accomplish. In a career spanning 15 years, Patrick has since also become a bestselling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, wellbeing, and fitness. In this episode, Patrick talks about how crowded teeth can be a problem for breathing. Then, we discuss the main issues that can develop with chronic mouth breathers. Patrick dives into exactly how we should be breathing through our noses and the relaxation effect that will take place with proper inhales and exhales. Tune in as Patrick reveals why he highly recommends taping your mouth before bed. Plus, Patrick recommends the best resources to learn more about breathing exercises and guidelines.

He started to practice slow breathing and light breathing. Through breathing, he was able to influence the temperature of his fingers. Learn more about Patrick by reading his book Atomic Focus: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Focus-Resilience-Breathing-Exercises-ebook/dp/B09D9ZL9HL/benazadi-20 [07:15] The Problem With Crowded Teeth and Breathing If the teeth are crowded, your jaw is too small. If your jaw is too small, there's not enough room for the tongue. So, the tongue is more likely to encroach the airway. When your airway is compromised, you may get disordered breathing during sleep. A palate expander is something that can be useful to improve breathing. [16:40] The Problems That Can Develop With Chronic Mouth Breathing Yawning excessively can be a clue to mouth breathing. Whenever Patrick works with a student, he tries to switch them from mouth breathing to nose breathing as much as possible. He also works on functional breathing patterns. Light breathing helps ensure the blood chemistry is normal. You're more likely to breathe light through your nose. By changing our breathing patterns, we can stimulate the vagus nerve. [21:55] Patrick Explains How You Should Breathe Through Your Nose Bring your attention to your breathing. Slow down your inhale, and have a slow, gentle exhalation. When you need to breathe in, take in a gentle inhalation. At the end of the inhalation, bring a feeling of relaxation to the body. When you do this correctly, you will feel air hunger. As you do this for two to three minutes, check the saliva in your mouth. Normally, it increases. When the human body undergoes stress, the mouth goes dry. While on the other hand, when we slow down our breathing, we should have more saliva in the mouth. [38:40] Why Patrick Recommends Mouth Tape Before Sleep Mouth tape can bring you so many benefits. 50% of people wake up with a dry mouth in the morning. Breathing through your mouth at night can wreak havoc on your dental health. Mouth breathing will cause more sleep disruptions. Breathing through the nose will make it so you don't have to wake up as much in the middle of the night.

Today you may learn something that just may change your life. You may already be familiar with Patrick McKeown, or at least, with his work. But many of you also may have never heard of what Patrick has really helped bring to the forefront of what is starting to go mainstream. Breathing technique or breathwork. Patrick McKeown is an international breathing expert and author based in Galway, Ireland. But he really is so much more than this. He should really be given an honorary doctorate, because he has researched breathing so intensely and has even published a study in the Journal of Clinical Medicine. He really sounds like a Phd and he clearly knows much more about the breath and breathing mechanisms than most doctors. Patrick has been studying the respiratory system and breathing for the last 20 years and he's not only experienced in training the elite special forces, Olympic coaches, athletes, thousands of clients and now breathing practitioners, he is also a best selling author having 9 books under his belt now.

We focus on specific chapters related to issues like sleep disordered breathing, insomnia and sleep apnea. These are really big ones for women who are hitting menopause and even way after.

Is there such a thing as breathing too much? Yes! And if you're doing it through your mouth, that's much worse. In this latest episode of the Align Podcast, world-renowned breathing expert Patrick McKeown explains why you should stop breathing through your mouth and start taking slow, light breaths through your nose. One huge reason for this is that nasal breathing will drastically improve your sleep, attention and memory, calm your mind, and reduce your stress almost instantly. Do you notice how anxiety makes your breathing fast and shallow, which only reinforces your suffering? That's mostly because of dysfunctional breathing patterns you're not even aware of. Here, Patrick gives tips on how to stay calm and collected in stressful situations by controlling our breath. His focus is not in deep breaths but in the gaps between those breaths. Also, we cover the healing effects of nasal breathing on COVID and asthma patients, the dangers of mouth breathing in kids, and how tongue posture affects your gait and appearance. Patrick McKeown is a best-selling author and leading expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health and fitness. He has written 8 books, including top sellers "Close Your Mouth" and "Asthma Free Naturally". His latest book, "Atomic Focus,” is packed with science-proven breathing techniques that help people achieve the highest level of focus they need to succeed.   What we discuss: 6:00 - The secret to staying calm in stressful situations lies in your breath 12:30 - The harmful effects of mouth breathing in children 23:00 - Why solving the mental health crisis starts with addressing sleep disordered breathing 30:00 - Stimulate your vagus nerve through this breathing technique 35:30 - 6 Tongue Exercises to boost brain function 44:15 - Why you should start breathing less and slow, not fast and shallow 50:43 - How nasal breathing improves your focus and memory 53:40 - Self-actualization begins with deep sleep and correct breathing patterns 56:00 - Microcosmic Orbit: Harnessing strength and energy from your tongue 59:00 - How are your tongue position, gait, and posture related?   Learn more from Patrick McKeown: Websites: https://oxygenadvantage.com/ https://buteykoclinic.com/ Instagram: @oxygenadvantage, @buteykoclinic   Related Link: Patrick Mckeown's books: https://www.amazon.com/Patrick-McKeown/e/B006X1OD3U%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share

I've spent the last few months talking about the importance of sleep and how it underpins everything we do. However, there is something even more fundamental that is equally overlooked - breathing. I've seen social media arguments around the subject of whether breathing exercises can improve athletic performance, and they can get quite heated. In today's podcast, my guest is Patrick McKeown, the author of the books Oxygen Advantage, Atomic Focus, and Breathing Cure. We'll be discussing why efficient breathing is fundamental to everything that we do as human beings first, and athletes second. This was a fascinating learning experience for me and I hope that you can find at least ONE golden nugget of information that helps you to lead a healthier life and enhance your overall performance. We cover many topics including: How the environment influences your breathing efficiency Nose breathing and why it is so important for developing aerobic fitness Your BOLT score and why it impacts sleep quality, recovery, HRV, stress management How to combine daily breathing exercises with training and or meditation To find out more about Patrick and follow him on social media, please go to: Website - https://oxygenadvantage.com/ Instagram - oxygenadvantage Facebook - The Oxygen Advantage YouTube - Oxygen Advantage   To buy a copy of Patrick's books, please click on the links below: "The Oxygen Advantage” ”Atomic Focus” “Breathing Cure”   We also touched on some other topics: Videos How to measure your breathing efficiency - Finding your BOLT score Breathing in business - How to stay concentrated and for used under stress   Research How breathing can help you make better decisions Oral vs Nasal Breathing The Athlete's secret ingredient - Nasal Breathing Triathlete Adapts to Breathing Restricted to the Nasal Passage Without loss in VO2max or vVO2max.  Nasal breathing with exercise.
