As Muslims we are taught to clean our noses inside with water 15 times a day in total (3 times for each of the five daily prayers) and we gargle to the back of our mouths 15 times in a day. I see the importance of the practise, we are taught breathwork when we meditate and chant our mantras (prayers) it’s amazing seeing the science behind what we’re taught ❤
I really appreciate how Steven asks potent questions and spends more time listening than speaking. So many podcasters can dominate conversations with anecdotes to show their own knowledge... But when he does share, it's always genuine and relatable. This was a beautifully and earnestly executed podcast. So wonderful.
I like when people do that, most people don't listen.
So true. Mayam Bialik comes to mind. She’s undeniably smart, and I like her, but she could def benefit from trying to emulate Steven’s Listen More, Speak Less approach.
People were wearing crappy masks because that was the requirement. Which is why it was stupid.
Absolutely agree
The 4x4. 4 secs in, 4 out by 4. Get d brain nervous set, then think abt what I'm thinking, then relax n make a good decision for the long haul. Many of my older friends get breathless n can't walk very far at all anymore. My aunt 88 was getting like that. We did massage with her around her neck shoulders n taught her to breath well. She now does beach walks most days n got her bp down really well
I took a 30 day breathing course- with as physiotherapist, here in NZ. A game changer. I coughed up lots of gunk for 6 or 8 weeks. I went back to her to address my stored trauma issues. She said that it was a learning curve for her-as well as for me. But a regular breathing routine- took time to institute... especially over night. I re-regulated my intake of liquids. I used to have chronic UTI's. At age 72- it has taken time. They say you caint teach an old dog new tricks. But this was "do or die" for me.
Do you mind if I ask, how do you change your breathing at night (while sleeping)? My son breathes through his mouth at night and after seeing this, I want to know what I can do to change that for him
Would be hard or impossible to do for someone else. I stop drinking liquids about 6 pm. Mostly if I wake at night I can self sooth and get to sleep through nose breathing. Calming... @@GibberishJeff
Awesome job, Dave!!
Thank you for sharing this story Dave, inspirational!
congrats on doing it!!!! success!!! check mark
These interviews just get better and better. Stephen, you’ve changed my way of life through your guests. Thank you.
Yes. Very good channel and also this time: an interesting guest and topic.
See, I think the opposite. When he first started, he had great guests on, whereas now he's running out of people he's resorting to people with these odd theories. 99% of people don't breathe correctly? Come on. It's just a grift and a way to push book sales, etc.
The Buteyko breathing method basically saved my life... sleeping with tape over my mouth for ten years now and I'd rather sleep without a pillow than without the tape. Migrains? From 6 per month to 2 per year without feeling sick. No more heart palpitations/pounding heart beat, memory up and running again, no longer cold hands and feet, no longer tingling sensations across hands and face, hay fever: GONE. And so many more symptoms vanished..

00:00 🫁 Mouth breathing can lead to various health issues, including ADHD, diabetes, and metabolic problems.
01:07 🌬 Carbon dioxide levels above 800-1000 can impact cognitive and physical functions negatively.
03:41 📚 Investigating the science of breath and breathing became a passion for James Nestor after experiencing breathing problems personally.
10:29 🏛 Our modern environment, including sedentary lifestyles and poor habits, contributes to the rise of health issues related to breathing.
13:23 💡 Breathing is a fundamental pillar of health, along with diet, exercise, and sleep.
16:40 🩺 James Nestor conducted a challenging experiment on himself to compare the effects of nasal breathing and mouth breathing over a 10-day period.
20:04 🌬 Most people breathe dysfunctionally, with estimates ranging from 95% to 99%, impacting their health and well-being.
22:07 🌍 Indigenous cultures provide insights into healthy breathing patterns and lifestyles, as they exhibit fewer health issues related to breathing.
23:14 🫁 Proper breathing is essential for overall health, impacted by factors such as posture, daily activities, and environmental influences like pollution.
24:10 🫁 The diaphragm is a crucial muscle for breathing; it descends to create a vacuum that allows air into the lungs and ascends to push air out.
25:43 🫁 Poor posture, stress, and prolonged sitting can lead to improper breathing, limiting oxygen intake and affecting overall health.
28:13 🫁 Humming can increase nitric oxide production, aiding in vasodilation, circulation, and immune response.
32:00 🫁 Breathing through the nose is crucial, as it has various functions, including filtering air, capturing moisture, and producing nitric oxide, which benefits overall health.
34:43 🫁 Changes in facial development due to industrialized food have contributed to smaller airways, impacting breathing habits and overall health.
37:38 🫁 Breastfeeding and early childhood feeding habits can influence facial development, airway size, and long-term breathing health.
46:06 🫁 Sleep disordered breathing, often related to mouth breathing, has been associated with conditions like ADHD, and addressing breathing patterns in children is crucial for their health.
47:26 🫁 Sleep apnea and snoring in children are often linked to poor sleep quality, leading to behavioral issues and the use of medications like Ritalin and sleeping pills.
48:47 🤯 Research suggests that ADHD in children is closely related to early breathing habits, and correcting these habits can often lead to the disappearance of ADHD symptoms in the majority of cases.
50:13 🧒 Children with sleep-disordered breathing have a higher risk of behavioral and emotional problems, including hyperactivity, aggression, depression, and anxiety, making them more likely to develop ADHD-like symptoms.
52:46 🫁 Lung capacity and lung health are strongly correlated with lifespan, making it crucial to maintain lung function as you age.
55:34 🫁 As you age, your lung function naturally deteriorates, but you can slow down this process and maintain lung capacity through practices like breathwork, exercise, and yoga.
01:03:00 😓 Stress, anxiety, and constant exposure to screens and social media can lead to shallow breathing patterns, which, in turn, can have long-term negative effects on your health.
01:05:49 🧘♂ Taking control of your breathing through techniques like breath resets (two breaths in, exhale) and slow, rhythmic breathing can help combat stress and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
01:11:18 🫁 Breath-holding is a useful diagnostic and therapeutic tool to increase CO2 tolerance and calm the body.
01:12:15 💓 Extended exhales slow down the heart rate, signaling to the nervous system that the body is in a safe place and can relax, reducing stress and anxiety.
01:14:39 🎭 Masks, if worn improperly or made of poor quality materials, can lead to health issues and may not effectively prevent disease spread.
01:17:54 🏢 Indoor environments with high CO2 levels (over 800-1000 ppm) can lead to health problems, decreased cognitive function, and chronic inflammation.
01:28:04 🪁 Monitoring your breath-holding time (BOLT score) can help assess your CO2 tolerance and guide breathing improvement efforts, but it varies throughout the day.
01:34:01 🔄 Breathing can influence health: Diseases like type 2 diabetes and asthma can be improved, and sometimes even reversed, through proper breathing techniques. Clinical trials show promising results for asthmatics.
01:35:23 🏥 Removing tonsils and adenoids may not solve breathing issues: Surgery alone may not address the root cause of conditions like asthma and sleep apnea. Fixing underlying breathing dysfunction is crucial.
01:38:37 💤 Nasal breathing during sleep improves sleep quality: Using techniques like mouth tape to encourage nasal breathing during sleep can lead to more restful sleep, reduced heart rate spikes, and improved sleep efficiency.
01:42:03 🌬 Finding your perfect breathing rhythm: The ideal breathing rhythm varies by individual, but a good starting point is 5-6 seconds in and 5-6 seconds out. Taller individuals may benefit from even slower breathing (e.g., 4.5 breaths per minute).
01:47:23 💆♂ Stress relief through vigorous breathwork: Intense breathing exercises can induce stress during the practice but ultimately help individuals better manage stress and gain perspective in daily life.
01:51:13 🙌 Simple breath-focused practices are accessible to all: You don't need to invest in expensive treatments or extensive scientific research to benefit from breathwork. Focusing on basic breath techniques can lead to significant health improvements.
01:55:04 📚 The book is considered required reading: The book addresses misalignment problems related to breathing habits and highlights the significant impact of poor breathing on health.
01:55:16 📺 Excitement about the BBC Maestro series: The upcoming series is expected to provide practical tools and actionable insights related to breathing techniques and health.
01:55:47 📊 Evidence-based approach: James Nestor's approach prioritizes evidence over personal opinion, emphasizing the importance of scientific findings in his work.
01:56:01 🌍 Impact on lives: The book's influence extends to countless people worldwide who are incorporating breathwork into their lives and even launching initiatives like breathwork studios to help others improve their health through proper breathing techniques.
Thanks!
🙏🏽
Thank you
This is so helpful
MVP! ❤
Undoubtedly the most definitive interview of James Nestor.
I bought his book Breath when it came out in 2020. I saw him interviewed many times and have since gone back to listen to a few of these interviews.
Then I just saw this interview.
This one is superior to any I've seen.
Personally, I was plagued from infancy through 17 years old with chronic respiratory infections. I had allergies and my parents were heavy smokers.
When I moved from Texas to Northern New York at age 18 (1970), my respiratory condition completely cleared within a couple of months and my sleep improved.
I also began swimming laps and practicing yoga.
My mental health and physical health improved.
In my late twenties, I began jogging and my mental and physical health improved more.
Then I broke my foot and was unable to run for several months, and developed depression.
After resuming jogging and walking, my depression completely went away.
Four years ago, I began chanting to see if it impacted my meditation practice and saw profound improvement in meditation and well-being.
It reduced depression, anxiety, and impulsivity and improved sleep.
My fitness tracker said my Spo2 during sleep went from 93% to 96%.
After seeing James Nestor interviewed in 2020, I tried the mouth taping experiment initially for a week when I was off from work.
In the past 3 years, I've taped my mouth during sleep and my Spo2 during sleep increased to 98% and eliminated major breath spikes.
I can't say where I'd be without great information throughout my life.
I'm so grateful to James Nestor for validating my experience and showing me the benefits of mouth taping.
My Grandfather was the only person I knew who lived with lung cancer a decade extra without any chemo/medication, He was a great meditatir, and he was a hummer and a nose breather.
Shame on me, I didn't inherit a lot of great things from Him .. well, it's better late than never! Thanks for this talk! ❤
His book is incredible! Changed my life. Had no idea I was breathing incorrectly and my anxiety was through the roof. After doing what this man suggested - I’m calm again. Thank you sooo much!

Me too! Took a weekend course and went from taking my inhaler every two hours to once a day and eventually off of it completely.
If you enjoyed this conversation could you do us a favour and HIT that like button on the video! Helps us a lot ❤️
Thank you Steven Maama
Thank you for this. I am, however, disturbed and disappointed by his seemingly casual dismissal and contempt for "headbands and dream catchers." Indigenous folks have been teaching about the importance of breath for countless centuries. Do not promote our teachings with one side of your mouth and crapping on us with the other.
Is it possible to get access to some of the journal articals he refers to to support his claims please?
Not when you allow garbage like tthis.
Have never heard this before, so interesting
As a massage therapist, I've learned to breathe quietly and fully through my nose for many hours in the day or my patients would feel strange listening if I were huffing and puffing. My doctors have told me I have a huge lung capacity, and I was prone to asthma all my young life. My breathing has definitely changed.
When my chiropractor asked me to take a deep breath in for the first time, I took a breath, more, more, more, she finally asked me, "Just how.large ARE your lungs?!"
I filled her in about this book and my changes in breathing and eating (no sugar, low crap carbs but plenty of veggies, some fasting).
@@Mhantraxthanks for this comment about your experience
Pilates has helped me to breath so much better. We focus on it through our exercise. I have also been mouth taping for 5 months with a tiny piece of paper tape, and it helped me stop snoring, and ends dry mouth, dental issues, bad breath, and I feel more rested in the morning. Because breath work is "free" it will not be studied because it doesn't require meds.
My 13 yo daughter has never spent a day in hospital nor has she been diagnosed with any of these sicknesses and I put it down to the fact that I taught her to meditate and breathe from a young age. Posture is also a major thing in our home.
I love this! Thank you.
Well yeah... It's abnormal for a child to go to a hospital or have these diseases.
When did you start teaching her? Ive wanted to show my daughter why she should nasal breath
@@2snipe1 I thought most people breathe through their nose...
@@Anonymoose66G this is true, but I was a strick mouth breather from constant sickness when I was young. It can become a habit afterwards. My pallette is now high. Could be from numerous other reasons, but I attribute this to not relearning mouth breathing. I am preparing for when I see mouth breathing become a habit with my little one. But right now she's a little too young to understand language yet. I suspect the answer is 4 years old, but maybe there is another way? Interested to know.
Your daughter is normal, not special, what is wrong with you people
I've started mouth taping at night after reading his book 3 years ago, after my dentist commented on my gums retroceding because I was mouth breathing all my life. My sleep and my concentration improved tremendously.
Tom Bilyeu does that
I've started taping my wife's mouth all day long - now I sleep great
@@normanbell-br7nf 🤔 😂 🙌🏼
I think that would freak me out!
@@pastthefog6514 me too
Did Steven almost make James cry at the end? What a poignant moment filled with respect, regard, acknowledgement, and gratitude. Worth every valuable minute to get to this moment!
I suffer from Anxiety, depression, ADHD and am bipolar 2. While hospitalized we were taught about the importance of proper breathing... The brain not receiving enough oxygen causes so many problems.
I have always been a terribly shallow breather. I would actually stop breathing when I got stressed and then go in to these huge periodic, deep sighs... people always thought I was dramatic but I was just trying to get some air during crunch time! 🥺
😳 1:02:43 Omgosh, I had to come back because right after I wrote my comment you talked about what I wrote!
Is this still so interesting, my daughter has just been diagnosed with sigh syndrome, I didn't even know this was a thing, so we are trying mouth taping going forward!
@@ivfchic3316 I didn't either. I will have to look that up. My sighs were ridiculous and I think people really thought I was being dramatic but I had no idea I was doing it half the time. People were constantly asking me if I was ok. I suppose it was distressing. 🙁
After some medical experiences we are given a little device to help us learn to breath. I kept mine and still use on occasion to be more mindful.
I love it.
Taping my mouth shut while sleeping has been life changing.
How refreshing to see a real journalist with real integrity and professional ethics that stop him from making his work about himself and his own experience. A rare breed in todays world of casual narcissism.
Well said!
Indeed
Opera or classical singing lessons - a beautiful way to develop and proper posture and diaphragmatic breathing.
I witnessed a quadriplegic who could not speak activate his ability to speak again by responding to a family members request that he take as deep a breath as he could and try singing. He immediately produced sound. Over time, his breathing improved as well.
Legends, focus on your breathe and become better than best!! 😤
Were can I find his website
This individual played a crucial role in saving my life and equipping me with the tools I needed to assist my daughter as well. I'm truly grateful that you had him on. Thank you.
The breastfeeding was interesting. I breastfed my son for 3 1/2. It was hard, but I noticed my son didn't suffer a lot of problems that his friends had.
Yes. It increases IQ also!
Good job mama! 🎉 that's a lot of peer pressure to push against too.
@jefdby It was, especially since at the time, there were no breastfeeding stations like I see now.
It’s a bit sad that a medical researcher has to constantly apologise out of fear of rabid feminists coming to attack!
I love it. Also BF my two until they were 4/3. Never had health issues
What an exchange! I've experienced so many things during this episode, not only from a learning POV. As I was doing the exercises, first I felt high, then I felt like I'm going to pass, and all of a sudden my vision became sharper and felt a tingling in the back of my head!
The Diary of A CEO keeps changing my life in more ways than I can ever enumerate! ❤
i guess i need to actually finish this vid, thx for sharing!!
I had CFS for years before i went to a specialist who suggested I try a breathing clinic to reteach me how to breath.
Such a game changer! My health is so much better!
And how do you breathe now? Or how were you breathing before? I don’t understand what does breathing has to do with CFS
@Butterflylovely5 before my breathe was very shallow, only going into my upper chest, and breathing quite quick.
They taught me to breather deeper and slower into my diaphragm, through my nose.
It increased my enegery and circulation, and after a year or so I had improved so much I could travel and work full time again.
It wasn't the sole fix, but it sure helped.
Strange thing is that my grandfather is a mouth breather and he can still chop woods, go for a walk and even hop into a motorcycle at the age of 96.
That's really comforting, thanks for telling us about Him 😊
IOW it's mostly BS. Excess sugar is probably the biggest cause of disease.
@@melissafarrugia9531ikr
He did not grow up with the same factors as us, It's getting worse, worse food, worse thinking etc
Imagine if he was a nasal breather , he’d become a super saiyan.
I was reverse breathing especially in my sleep. It took practice and discipline to retrain muself and about a month. My irregular breathing flares up when I’m stressed. It’s nervous system related. This is gold. I love your cast
I reverse breathe at night too. How did you overcome it?
@@uboobly Whats reverse breathing?
@@baaqirirfan4107 diaphragm goes up on inhalation, should go down
How can people seriously watch your videos and not subscribe 😮 I don’t get it…. Your content is AMAZING!!
Yes.. i agree ..outstanding advice, subject..
My breathing has never been good.. I released this , cos of Grunting..😁.. The doctors generally do bloods and heart checks when unwell..for my poor circulation. but no Respiratory respiratory checks.. This advice is very helpful.
Clicked on this podcast to listen for bed. Practiced the breath exercises and passed out within minutes before podcast finished. I was so relaxed. Rewatching the podcast because of how educational and effective it is.
Interesting at 1.18 in the video when he discusses CO2 we breathe and the levels and how it effects us. During the initial response to the COVID I was working in a rest home and told my residents that they should be outside in the gardens whenever possible to get fresh air and sunshine. Then on the news it came out that sunlight and Vitamin C was not good. Then orders came through from the top management that all doors were to be locked and no windows were to be opened as COVID might fly through an open window. So when you have no ventilation (as it was an old house no air conditioning) with 57 incontinent residents it was no wonder we all came down with Nora virus! Criminal…
I have been taping my mouth during sleep for 2 years and I don’t see a difference in my face but the deep sleep I get is amazing. I can sleep less and still wake up refreshed and early.
Hi. I find I have ripped mine off at night every morning. Did you or has anyone had this issue or know the solution?
For aesthetic reasons I remove lower nose hair but perhaps I shouldn't
I am in a wheelchair and obsessed with posture and breathing as a way of compensating for my disability. I have watched breathing podcasts and this is by far the most informative.
I knew he was going to mention breastfeeding before he said it, as I’d read that the jaw develops due to the act of breastfeeding. I’m proud to have breastfed my two for 3.5 and 4.5 years and they were always healthy children. 💖
Good for you mama. Breastfeeding is the best 💕✨
That is awesome! I breastfed my 3 about 4.5 years. It also helps reduce the need for orthodontic treatment
That part! Not only is the act of BFing important for growth but so is consuming actual human milk.
A lot of folks prefer the canned for convenience and mental health and vanity. Canned milk brings in billions to the major food manufacturers so they’ve convinced folks that their products are similar to the real thing. They even push a fed is fed saying and that should open EVERYONES eye balls. Adults no the different between a trash diet and a healthy one. I’d bet most would agree that the trash diet doesn’t mean that person has been fed.
All babies deserve natural immunity and natural nutrients to boost their overall health. I wish folks would understand that human milk is alive and changes day to day to give baby/toddler what they need. Canned milk can not compare.
Me too. Breastfed for 3.5 years
You’re lucky you could breastfeed your kids for so long. I was a single mom, had to go back to work when my son was only six weeks old. Pumping was exhausting, time consuming, very few private places (ie: the bathroom) to pump at work. Low income working Moms just don’t have this luxury. It is, indeed, a luxury these days. It’s a privilege.
I remember as I child I was always trying to breathe through my nose to filter out pollution on the street as learnt on biology class. I have also played the trumpet from age 8 til 14 which involves taking a deep breath into the lower part of the lungs - basically into the stomach - this how we learnt to think about. I felt awkward as every other girl in school was taking breath to the upper body which seemed prettier as their stomach wasn't moving. I highly recommend yoga with a good teacher who focuses on breath for the movements. Mindfulness and at home meditation. Thank you Steve for another excellent interview!
10yrs ago I broke my neck and started mouth breathing whilst running and kept saying however much I trained that my breathing was limiting me.
Thank you for explaining
I watch a lot of health professionals interviewing experts, I can't remember who the interviewer and interviewee were, but there was a person who claims eating meat as the primary food source widens the facial structure. The interviewee gave an example of identical twin children, one was left in his country to eat mainly a meat diet while the other was brought to a western culture. Years late, the meat diet native had a much wider mouth and his teeth were perfectly aligned, while the other brother's teeth did not have enough space and were crooked in a more narrow bone structure. Since secular culture promotes going heavy on the vegies and fruits and light on the meats, I believe that could be the reason why many have narrow mouths, narrow throats, and dryer throats while incorrectly breathing.
This interview has had a profound impact on me. I have been a mouth breather for many years due to various allergies I experienced as a child. Living also with anxiety, I didn't make any connection to the breath. Recently I have been investigating more holistic wellbeing approaches, and I stumbled upon this video and boy I am glad I did. Zero anxiety since I implemented the methods of nasal breathing shared by James....Better sleep...better mood the list of improvements go on..
I've been running now, nose breathing for a year. That was a hard transition.
3 weeks ago, my wife said I was snoring in my sleep, so I decided try the tape over my mouth while I slept. All I had was some electrical tape, so I used that.
I don't know how to explain it, but after just 1 night, when I woke up I felt so calm, my throat felt so good, that knew I would do this for the rest of my life.
Does it matter what tape you use?
@@aziza000 good question. I'd say whatever tape works, you feel comfortable using, and doesn't cause skin irritation.
@@aziza000 there are companies out there that sell special mouth tape that works well on facial hair and stuff. I personally just go to the dollar store and pick up clear tape. Much cheaper and haven't had any skin irritations or issues with dryness!
I am thinking to try Durapore 3M tape.
@@aziza000 I use 3M Transpore tape from either CVS or Walgreens. I used to wake up all night and needed rest during the day. I now sleep 10 hours solid with my mouth taped shut. Never have starved for air breathing through my nose.
I finished reading Breath two weeks ago, and having learnt about breathing techniques and practices over the last 3-4 months I can say that this book - and the practice of breathing (including tummo, nasal breathing and other forms of breathwork) has lead to many positive changes including improved sleep, better energy and improved athletic performance/vo2 max.
Totally onboard with breathing as being a pillar of health, up there with diet & exercise.
Thank you for this episode, it feels like it's come at a perfect time.
As a classical ballet dancer who started ballet at age 3- breathing through our nose is a huge part of ballet. So is posture.. Both breathing and our posture are so important
What steps would you recommend to get better at breathing or adding it into your life? Breathe through nose whilst working out? Tape mouth? Meditate?
This is amazing I have suffered from ADHD my entire life... and I've always been a mouth breather but never put 2 and 2 together until watching this interview
🤯 long time listener, first time commenter. this episode really shifted things for me. recently came out from under a dark cloud and its amazing to learn to breathe again.❤❤❤
Steven, for many reasons, you and your show are my favorite! This is an especially terrific episode. Who knew, right! Really like James Nestor’s demeanor and way of presenting his information. We can all improve our wellbeing and life by adopting some of the simple practices mentioned. Thank you!
Thank you again for another eye opening conversation. My husband’s nose was broken during childhood. He has been a mouth breather since age 13, now age 57. Diagnosed ADHD in his 3rd grade year and given Ritalin for 2 yrs. He abused illicit drugs most of his young adult life. Years of treatment helped him. 2011, we married and the biggest issue we had was his snoring, which was disturbing for me our first 5 yeas of marriage. After significant weight loss the snoring ended. Still to this day his extreme high bp is worrying, perhaps that is due also to his lifelong mouth breathing too. Discussing willingness to get his nose fixed now. Changing my breathing habits too, as I have been a very shallow breather most of my life. Heart disease is my chronic illness. Thank you! Peace❤
If he is snoring but it got better after weight loss, and he is a male over 50, most likely he has Sleep Apnea. Please see Sleep Disorder Specialist for Sleep Study.
Wow! How did we never know this until now?!? Thank you both for this episode!
I am busy teaching a group of over 70 year olds to do the deep lateral breath technique and it is really difficult when they have never been conscious of their breathing. It was quite interesting to see Steven do what they do - lifting their shoulders and chests! Thank you both for an informative episode.
What steps would you recommend to get better at breathing or adding it into your life? Breathe through nose whilst working out? Tape mouth? Meditate?
@@f4llenstarr What a great question! If you have a very busy life, it might be wise to incorporate a tiny, achievable step. People generally tend to find some techniques more difficult than others, so choose the technique that you find easy and something you can do during the day. Do ensure though that you are standing with a straight spine and not squashing your lungs! I have found a starting point that most people of all ages relate to is this: Start simply becoming more conscious of your breathing - following your breath through the nose for just 3 breaths a day, say when you are on the toilet or siting at a red traffic light. When you feel comfortable with this, then do the same thing but ensuring and practicing that you are extending your diaphragm sideways and downards. Practice this 'lower chest breathing' until you feel you can do it without too much concentration. Now you will be ready to slightly deepen your inhale through the nose for one more count, (let us say 4 counts in)and exhale for one extra count( 5 counts out), thought the mouth without too much extra strain. Doing this for only 3 breaths once a day, helps one become more conscious and usually people naturally try to do it more often. I incorporate this last practice while I am a passenger in a vehicle, or just before i start driving my car, when I wake and before I sleep. Just those few times on a busy day creates for me, relaxation mentally, emotionally and physically. You can easily search for other breathing techniques and try them out. Here is the caution; if you try a breath that causes a little bit of discomfort, you will trigger your adrenalin (anxiety reaction) and that is the opposite of what you need when doing this kind of breath work. So rather choose the gentler versions until your body is ready for the next step. I love it. I hope you do too!
Maybe use the techniques as a warm up to learning a song.
@@saraG100 Singing in a choir or opera chorus certainly has helped my breathing. They always warm up with various breathing exercises.
I have been teaching presentation skills for past 20 years. Most people have no idea about the benefits of proper breathing. Breathing properly is so critically important for health. Thanks for this great podcast ❤️
I listened to his book over 10 weeks ago now and have been taping my mouth shut each night since. Before this I used to have pretty bad social anxiety that I 'dealt' with each day but more so I have had asthma all my life since I was a child. Doctors always said id grow out of it but never did. I used to use ventolin at least 3 times per day without fail! Honestly necer a day went past when I was sucking on that thing and I mean at least 3 times a day and some steroid inhaler twice a day as a preventative. I genuinely sh** you not I have used my ventolin about 7 times in the past 2 months and cannot wait to go back to my doctors for my annual asthma review - (i'm 36 by the way). On top of that my social anxiety has basically gone and I realise now I was essentially in a mild form of fight or flight mode all the time. Now I am so chilled. May not work for everyone but this guy has changed my life. Anyway as you were :)
Hi that’s amazing results ! What exercises did you incorporate to your life?
@@PlayFULLOUT thanks, it really is, I have been doing weight training 3x a week and resistance training 3x a week for a few years now so I was fairly fit, if you mean breathing exercises then none in particular just as mentioned
WHAT TYPE OF TAPE DO YOU USES
@@rodneyshannon5759 I just use micropore surgical tape, very cheap and lasts ages
This is so serendipitous, I picked up his book the other day and just checked your pod cast and he was here. Looking forward to reading the book and trying to improve my breathing. Great interview as always . Thanks
Such a powerful conversation, James Nestor helped change my life, breath is life, how we breathe affects how we think and feel, I wish I learnt this as a child, thanks Steven for spreading the word of the breath. My favourite thing is knowing how we breathe affects how we think and feel, and we can choose our breath, so we can choose how we think and feel! as someone who was stressed and anxious most of my life, this info helped change my entire way of being! its really all starts with the breath, if our breath is off, our sleep is off, if our sleep is off, or diet and exercise is going to be so much harder. I feel so many people breath too fast, and so slowing down is not very sexy at first, but it really helps, Mike
im thankful to u too including them all.
i really loved your videos. and thanks for the help.
If you think this is powerful, you need to start breathing through your nose.
Will check out your channel. Sounds interesting!
Thank you so much @@candygeek6746
haha@@whatisrokosbasilisk80
What a breath of fresh air! (pun intended). Fascinating conversation and research.
The 5 principles of optimum health from Sivananda Yoga are:
1. Proper exercise
2. Proper breathing
3. Proper relaxation
4. Proper diet
5. Positive thinking & meditation
Thank you for giving breathing the importance it deserves when it comes to health. I’ll be buying James Nestor’s book.
Research ? What are you takling about. Please send a link to a Peer review study
Great discussion!! I think you should be proud to say what medical science demonstrates so do not ever feel badly about telling people that breastfeeding is better! I'm a nurse who taught childbirth classes for 20 years and we need more moms to know how important it is to breastfeed for so many reasons!!
Everyone should try to take a few concious breaths every day. As tolle would say 'come to your senses' breathe , look , listen. Be present. If you feel you dont have the time for this then somethings wrong with that! James book is amazing and helped me so much. Once I learned to think of the diaphragm as the second heart everything just fell into place. Great interview guys.
You can get rid of a cough by holding your nose and closing your mouth holding your breath for as long as possible then just breath through your nose keep your mouth shut, as it stops the cough reflex due to the nitric oxide flooding the blood stream amazing. This works as I had a persistent cough once and was completely fed up and was going on a long flight and it helped considerably
Holding my breath helps with hiccups go away🙃
Buteyko breathing technique to release sinuses and unplug nose: (works no matter how sick I am!)
- exhale completely
- stay without inhaling until it is no longer comfortable
- immediately try to inhale through the nose *even if it doesn't work at first, it will release the sinuses, repeat for 2-3 rounds until you can breathe freely through the nose.
Works 100% of the time for me. Buteyko breathing techniques have a bad rep because people did not breathe when they needed to and became unconscious. If you try this technique at home, do it supervised and don't ever stay without breathe when it feels uncomfortable, always respect your body and never abuse it especially through breathing.
@wherethereisloveblog didny know that was a named thing, I had problems with my sinuses as a kid, & I had soooo many nosebleeds that I can smell blood extremely well, even on the wind when im outside, hints of it, makes my stomach swirl (probably my stomach getting ready to deal with it all again, like when I was a kid), anyways the doctor said if I had even 1 more from either side, I'd have to have surgery, and I wouldn't be able to breathe out of my nose for a long time.. I said um, no, fuck that‽ Even tho I always breathed out of my mouth p much constantly... My stomach, honestly, felt rly cold, kinda like fear..¿ when I heard that, never went back, & subconsciously started doing this, & stuff like it, bc it was the only thing that would settle that fear In my belly lol
Oh yeah the surgery, I have or maybe had, a problem where I can get nosebleeds that are from both sides, & strong flows. They were afraid I wouldn't physically be able to replace what I was swallowing, if I had one of my -very- bad ones, and I decided to choose for myself (just like a child) & never went back
Swapping (a small amount) over time, subconsciously or not, has directly impacted that shit. Im healthier, doesn't hardly ever happen, but I also have to be aware of how I am, & how hard I'm breathing, like blowing my nose, or sniffling, like trying to inhale with congestion, if im careful I don't have problems, if I try too hard I just bleed again lol, if that happeneds then everything is harder for weeks afterwards, trying to clear everything out safely, carefully, & without causing more bleeding lol.. nasal breathing is honestly soo fucking helpful with every aspect of my life, cept for if I keep my mouth closed too long, tongue on the roof of my mouth, for hours & hours, then I start getting nauseous, but some mouth breathing for a few helps, then back to the nose lol 😂
I had a septoplasty and turbinectomy surgery because I could get not get a breath through the nasal openings.
Am I now doomed to have trouble breathing the rest of my life?
Coughing has a purpose. Not Coughing up phlegm can lead to phlegm lodging in the lower lungs causing serious infections like pneumonia
I had read Mr Nestor's book already, and it helped me improve some things (including my sleep) but not quite be able to fully nose breath still.
I was curious when I saw this title (not too clickbaity this time, thank you for this !), and excited when I realised that it was Mr Nestor who was getting interviewed !
I learned many useful things during this interview (even though I had already won the book), it brought me back into doing more breathing exercice, so thank you so much Mr Nestor for your incredible helpful work, I am really grateful, and thank you Steven for this great interview !
PS : I also don't understand this arrogance of some medical "expert" who just say "this part of your body serves no purpose, we can cut it off" instead of "I don't understand what this part of your body does, but the current state of medical science knowledge says that removing it could be beneficial", it's really mind blowing to me even !
Brother, your videos are insanely beneficial, and you always bring the most interesting guests
This man is not only a great journalist, hes also a fantastic story teller. Very calm, fluent, clear and composed. My hat's off to you sir.
One of the best episodes, and I've listened to almost all of them by now. A big thanks to you, Steven, and your team. 👏 I always learn a lot about how to improve.
This is fascinating, especially as I've had 4 natural labor/deliveries and proper breathing has absolutely everything to do with keeping your mind and body working together to get that baby out. It makes so much sense when looked at through this context.
Makes me sad for our modern culture (though I'm absolutely not condemning breakthroughs in modern medicine) - the fact that we've lost our way so completely from our ancient and ancestral roots and we blindly trust what's culturally acceptable now instead of listening to our bodies and looking for the simple solutions first.
I totally relate. I’m a birth practitioner and teach breath work for mothers preparing for childbirth ❤
Listening to this while I am at work. And it made me just stand up instead of stay sitting. Come on diaphragm, do your job. Loved this book, and loving this podcast as a great reminder of all the things I read but didn't implement.
I am so emotional at the present moment while listening to you because what you are talking about is so authentic it is just the breath that heals us mentally, physically and spiritually. Breathing correctly cures illness naturally, and it costs nothing Thank you, James.
What steps would you recommend to get better at breathing or adding it into your life? Breathe through nose whilst working out? Tape mouth? Meditate?
yet another reason great yoga teachers should be paid their worth versus what the industry has become. thank you for the love 🙌🏽
Breastfeeding:- The tongue pushes the nipple up against the palate. This light and regular pressure opens up two sutures on the palate. Bone is then laid down in the gaps of these sutures and the upper jaw widens and grows forward. The tongue is the main driver of all facial development. Its strength and its posture helps the formation of the mouth and helps keep the teeth straight.
Bottle-feeding:- the teat is full and generally too large, so the tongue is pushed lower in the mouth which adversely affects its posture and strength.
Lots of videos on UA-cam about this 👍
This was a fantastic interview! Having a background in pediatric medicine, I evaluated thousands of babies / children and probably discussed breathing related sleep disorders more than everything else combined. One of the issues with type 3 or type 4 tonsillar enlargement is you have basically effectively shut off the airway and it is impossible for these children to nose breathe. It is the mouth breathing that is typically causing the tonsillar tissue to enlarge. One thing that's rarely discussed is tongue ties in infants. When the tongue can rest against the roof of the mouth, in the palate, it is impossible to breathe through your mouth. If there is restriction to the tongue either an anterior or a posterior tongue tie, the tongue doesn't seat effectively. These are often babies that have difficulty latching on to the nipple or they latch on but do not get a full latch. This often causes a great deal of pain for the mother, sometimes to the point where they have to switch to bottle feeding as it is almost never addressed by the pediatrician.
Makes sense now why deep breathing exercises never worked for my panic attacks and made them worse! I was breathing wrong through my mouth the whole time and nobody told me otherwise!
I believe this is true my 3 kids were breast fed for 3 plus years and always cocked from scratch for them they are adults and no o e of them have breathing issues and they are very healthy sleep well and have lots of energy.
Thank you for this talk I learned so much and gave me so much confidence, the humming it’s amazing , It does help relaxation
Same, 3 years. Was sweet. They weaned themselves
Love how humble Steven is! Such an honest genuine guy.
I was up sick with a cold and a blocked nose and listening to this has been so helpful ❤ Thanks for the great content!
The important conversations being held on this particular podcast are inmeasurable in health wealth, much thanks... ❤❤❤
Thank you! This was a phenomenal video and the timing for me on it was simply perfect! Great information and I am so inspired to put into practice the tips that Mr. James Nestor talked about. So appreciated!! 🙂
Read his book when it came out. It saved me and my apnea (I tape and am in the process of dental myofacial therapy for a tongue tie procedure and then a special mouth brace to help me open my airway which is very narrow and hence...the root cause). I do breath exercises regularly and made the change to always and only breathe thru my nose. Game changer. Scientifically makes sense!
Who is the dentist giving you the mouth brace and the procedure? Is it a holistic dentist or regular one?
@@MEF7 my new dentist is holistic (have seen 2) but the dentist i originally saw who did the assessment and started myofascial therapy with (before pandemic) has been doing this a very long time and trains others nationwide. my new dentist does them also, but the previous one is who i am choosing to get this done w/ due to her expertise
@@mommasoto Thanks can you give us a name so that I can check it out and find one trained by him near me.
@@MEF7 you can search for the nearest dentist in your area trained w/ Dr. Theodore Belfor's Homeobloc appliance. There are many nationwide now thankfully
I would like to thank both of you I am an asthmatic who is newly working on breath but the UA-cam channel you have created illuminates many areas in life that can be optimized once it is recognized so thank you thank you thank you I also listen to you while I'm at work and you bring entertainment and peace into my life.
Love watching your podcasts I watch at least 3 per week. And share them with my people who need to hear them.
This is an awesome pod! ❤️🔥 !
As someone who teaches all of this, who coaches people in how to use their bodies so they can breathe better and more to heal the body, I love that he wrote this book......but...
I will add this. He has found out despite his biases that all of this work, but I have also heard him speak about the breathing patterns he hasn't tried and he still calls them woo woo, even here his eye rolling at "flowing clothes and dream catchers" etc., he is showing again that there is so much bias out there towards what they don't understand or what they are biased against.
There are purposes to everything. Energetically, physically, mentally and more. Heck loose flowing clothing constricts connective tissue less, it frees up our movement which again adds to the health of tissues, of joint health and more.
It is time for people researching things to not dismiss them because it does not fit their present narrative and instead consider that if all this has existed for hundreds and thousands of years that there just might be a purpose beyond our present understanding. Then? sure, so ahead and research the heck out of it so that you can explain to others (like he has done) what will best support our best lives.
p.s. Good breathing will encourage the production and release of nitric oxide in our bodies (nicknamed the god molecule for a reason) ...everything is connected and has purpose. Let's trust that our convenient lives are killing us sooner than needed.
❤
A good point, well made! No one questions the Shaolin monk wearing a loose fitting robe doing Tai Chi. Cultural differences. There is a reason why many eastern cultures wear loose fitting garments
Thank you for pointing this out, but what I heard was this was his sceptical attidude, back then. - He DiD learn from them & admitted it to be life-changing.
🌬 🌊🎐OceanBreathYogaWellness- I will check out your sites since we all have more to learn, & something good to share from that knowledge 🙏Namesté
You sound defensive. I also wear loose clothing, have dream catchers, I am a textbook hippie, but I know what he meant and how he meant it and didn’t take it personally
I am a mental health therapist and what he says about ADHD is absolutely true.
What steps would you recommend to get better at breathing or adding it into your life? Breathe through nose whilst working out? Tape mouth? Meditate?
I have bought the book a long time ago and also gave it as gift to a friend, I appreciate all the work going into it, that your studies are not airy fairy, would like to join, but being an 83 year old pensioner on a cancer journey-it is rather prohibitive, so my not subscribing to the channel is not related to the value and your workmanship, but of course I keep following the breath work, as well as other topics. Although lying in a hospital bed at the moment (it’s nighttime ), I am positive, have been practising aikido for many years and still teaching, coincidentally my aikido teacher bought the book the same day, as well as a second one as birthday gift to another teacher.
I have personally never been a mouth breather, but my daughter who suffers from asthma. As well as her husband both are. I will try again to make them understand … Thank you again for your good work and best wishes❤
Coincidently I started doing my podcast outdoors weeks ago. Stripped away the mics, the lighting, the backdrop, and I just sit in the grass in nature and talk. I haven’t been able to go back to my set ever since. I have been so inspired by the change that I am presenting this as a part of my talk at podfest 10 in orlando on January 25th.
super informative episode, as always! my husband has had chronic rhinitis since he was young… before listening to this episode, I’ve always been convinced that his quality of sleep is greatly affected by the way he snores through his mouth while sleeping. he always wakes up feeling tired, not to mention that i wake up from the noise in the middle of the night too. we found that sleeping on his side (rather than on his back) has helped him breathe through his nose instead. He’s completely quiet when he sleeps on his side. But now this episode is a game changer!!! i’m going to make him try the humming method consistently to see if it has any positive results. Thank you Steven and James!
Snoring, ADHD and chronic reflux here .....can't wait to watch this!!
I found reflux came from anxiety / stress response for me. And anxiety doesn't have to come from thought patterns.. it can come from dysfunction or illness. I worked out my reflux was related to anxiety. Drs just frowned at the concept and three drugs at me.
I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was six due to frequent bouts of tonsillitis. I've since come to understand that sensitivity to wheat and other grains and some other foods was the probable cause..IMore recently I've started taping my mouth at night and teaching myself to breathe better and I'm definitely feeling more alert during the day. It's quite remarkable the change.
So having the tonsils and adenoids did not stop the mouth breathing? I thought that is the reason to remove them in the first place? Doctors all say that will cure the mouth breathing or apnea.
Me too tonsils out at 7. No more super sore throats! I don’t wake up feel refreshed and full of energy and I don’t dream, so I’m wondering what else I could do, that’s why I’m here watching.
what sort of tape did you use?
And… so I just bought a C02 measuring device…. 🤭😱😉. I’ve read this man’s book a year ago and it absolutely changed my life, my health and breathing habits during exercise and my sleep.
Throughout this video, I have been avoiding sitting for too long, and sitting straight when I do, and breathing deeper breaths. I've always been a nasal breather except during exercise. By the 56 minute mark, I already feel more energized and that my lungs are allowing bigger breaths with less forceful work on my part. Looking forward to continuing the practice! Thanks for the great info!
My mother was always opening the windows and letting air in. Also in winter time. I do the same.
Yes! We lose so much without fresh air
This interview has enhanced many individual paths to improved health. Sincere thanks to you both for the awakening.
I'm so happy to be a part of your audience! thank you mr. Steven!
I had a deviated septum. Used to snore terribly and not be able to breathe through my nose much at all. Had an op at 18... now at 37 I have been referred for an ADHD assessment. This is pretty interesting, with links to breathing/adhd. I'll give it a go as I want to try and maintain my chaos as holistically as possible 👍
In 2015 I had respiratory failure and almost died due to a build up of CO2 due to sleep apnoea. Doctors gave me a BIPAP machine so I can breath properly at night, through my nose and it changed my life.
I will be reading his book as this is a subject matter I truly believe everyone needs to know about and it's fascinating. Such a great interview.
lot of people need a BIBAP nowadays
BIPAP I should say !! -- sorry
I read the book, and it talks about a man who breathed himself out of asthma and one straightened their spine from scoliosis. They are de facto treatments, it didn't actually increase the lunt capacity but taught the body how to do more with less breath. So I definitely recommend the book.
Not a c pap wats a bipap?
@@GTFCEO Had a quick look -- From what I gather c pap air pressure is constant for in and out breaths -- bipap has variable pressure for in and out breaths to take the strain off the system for those with congestive heart failure and other serious conditions -- probably reduced pressure on the out breath if I understand correctly -- All new to me though -- someone mentioned A pap ans V pap too so I'm a bit breathless myself with all the new info !
I'm so glad I found this channel. You're great, your guests are great. Thanks for making a difference!
This was the episode I was waiting for a long time! His book is one of the greatest thing I discovered.
Thank you!
We have thousands of students who have gone through our yogic based Breath retraining courses and I observed that people of African origin who don’t have any chronic health issues have an unusually high breath hold time. ❤
I had tetanus, high cholesterol, tuberculosis, covid19, asthma, diabetes and ADHD. Yesterday I started breathing through my nose and haven't had any issue since. Thank you mr. Lieberman.

I have a deviated septum. I am diagnosed ADHD when I was 55 and strongly suspect I am also autistic. I am a lifelong asthmatic with severe allergies to animal dander and food. I am a lifelong insomniac. I am currently in the process of being diagnosed with autoimmune disease as a result of a sudden onset of severe heel pain in the absence of any injury to that part of my body. I am also a lifelong outdoor endurance athlete who has mouth-breathed my way through a life of climbing, backcountry skiing, and ultlramarathon running. I have always just accepted that mouth breathing was something I could not correct. I went to my local university hospital here in Japan and they told me that I should take drugs to improve my breathing. I have purchased James' book and am trying to get off many of the prescription medications I have been taking for years. There are times when my nose does work well for a while. It is ok right at this moment. But the times when I am congested and my nose just collapses when I try to use it leading me back to mouth breathing. I'm trying to correct these many issues because at age 67 I am not ready for the decline I am beginning to perceive. Skiing and running are too important to me to give up and I refuse to accept that I have to do that or that I have to take this ridiculous cocktail of drugs for the rest of my life.
Perhaps the most relaxing voice I've ever heard. Want 100hrs of James just speaking.

Steven, I am a huge fan of your podcasts, I watch most of them in there entirety. I gravitate towards the health related ones especially and I try to adopt as much as I can (far from perfect but I'm trying), I have been waiting for one of the many health specialist to mention asthma. It's long been a thought of mine that it seemed to be something that was avoided, like you can cure cancer, but you can't cure asthma. I'm exaggerating but I always felt some what defeated by it. I've had it on and off throughout my life and its gotten worse over the last couple years. This is given me much hope and it's one of the reasons why I'm such a DOACEO fan. Thank you for all that you, I'm always learning new amazing things and what's even better is I get to throughly enjoy the process because of you show
Listen to Barbara O'Neill. All the information you need on Asthma.
Breathwork changed my life.
Thank you James Nestor
James, your book absolutely changed my life. I owe you so much!
Fascinating and thank you for speaking about this because it's not an easy topic to broach but it is important. I breastfed my child for 3 years, still believe it's one of the best things I've ever done, 'tho without pain and it's of course it's not for everyone. I wasn't breastfed myself and I have chronic sleep issues, have allergies, attention issues etc.
I have a lovely house, but all year, through a stressful life change, I've been naturally gravitating to my small back yard. I have recognised I need fresh air - it was at first instinctive, but now I know there's a physiological reason.
I have even been exploring options to keep me using my outdoor space into the autumn and through winter - rain covers, blankets - and after watching this episode I will definitely pursue this.
I am consciously aware of the decision I made as a child to shallow breathe through my mouth and it became a habit. My parents were both chain smokers, and it became my only way to survive those early years. I've had a life of asthma, tonsillitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. I'm a snorer and heading for sleep apnoea, if not there already. I have pre-diabetes and autoimmune disorders, and diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 53. Thank you for this video.
THIS PODCAST POTENTIALLY SAVED MY LIFE.. I HAVE BEEN BREATHING WRONG FOR A LONG TIME. I LOVE ALL YOUR PODCASTS
