Today’s podcast features an Interview with Patrick McKeown, a leading expert on the art and science of optimal breathing. Patrick is also the author of a new book: “The Oxygen Advantage: Simple, Scientifically Proven Breathing Techniques to Help You Become Healthier, Slimmer, Faster, and Fitter.”

In this episode we discuss:

  • How shutting your mouth can change your life! (literally)
  • Why people habitually mouth-breath and how it limits our quality of life
  • The link between nose-breathing and diet, sleep patterns and mental focus

…and much more!
