How Breathing Through Your Nose Will Change Your Life with Patrick McKeown

As you said, "It's never too late to correct." I'm 70, and for a week, with your help, through Wim Hof, I've been breathing slowly and through my nose. The result: the nasal pathways have become decongested, the hands are no longer cold and numbed, I sleep better and I have more energy and disposition. Good work!

I have been 100% nose breathing for 5 months, and I am amazed how my quality of life has improved. It was difficult at first, but I stuck with it. I mouth tape at night and have added silicone nose openers. I am very calm all through the day. I exercise 3x a week and I'm not tired after an hour of cardio. I haven't needed any hay fever meds, we'll see after a few more months. I have more clarity of thought and energy.

Fascinating conversation. Not one minute of this conversation did I breath through my mouth.

As a Respiratory Therapist of 25yrs experience I can say he is 100% correct

Went for a 21 mile bike ride today breathing only through my nose, occasionally breathing out of my mouth when things got tricky. Felt amazing on the bike and feel great afterwards. Only wish I knew this 10 years earlier!

At 74 years old I first heard that I was a mouth breather by my dentist last Friday. I have been looking into this all weekend and yes, I do have nasal congestion, terrible insomnia and a host of other age related issues. I have stopped walking for health because I breathe so heavily folks think there is something seriously wrong with me....shallow, rapid breathing and always short of breath. I followed Patrick's nasal passage clearing yesterday and tried to remind myself to nose breathe. I got even braver and put a small piece of tape loosely right over the center of my lips last night!!! I am soooooo thrilled to tell you that I not only slept 9 hours, but I was relaxed and comfortable. I did wake once during that time and found my right nasal passage was blocked, so I unplugged it and replaced the 1" piece of tape across my lips. Fell back to sleep for another several hours...Woke up rested and not in a race to get something to drink because of dry mouth. Thank you, thank you, thank you....I realize this will require a lot of work to switch the way I breathe, but I am convinced that this will make a world of difference in my life!!!!!

I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. youtube.com/post/Ugkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIat… This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

I think I am one of luckiest person in this earth that I watched this video 🥰🥰🥰

A friend from Canada linked this awesome talk, I just shared it here in Holland, Thank you So much, such incredible information. Been on and off breath work, could not find the diamond, here it is. Thank you two beautiful inspiring men!

I taped my mouth last night and slept with my mouth closed. Oh my goodness! What a difference this morning. I'm alert, pulse is slower and feel very calm. Will continue to breathe through my nose. Thank you so much for your research and passion about this truth. God bless!

Nasal breathing and taping my mouth at night has made a huge difference in my life !

This is a blessing that I came across...I was worried about my breathing. I was breathing thru my mouth and was feeling like I have shortness of breath. I closed my mouth and breathe and it felt better. Wow !🙏

Such a beautiful interview. Thank you guys so much for the info. I will try to spread it my tribe. Breath as a tool not as a rule!

Probably one of the most interesting conversations. Patrick McKeown you make so much sense. Thank you.

I was hanging on every word. Thanks to the both of you for such an eye opening (or should I say nose opening) discussion! Rangan, thank you for setting this up. I learn so much from you, your interactions and interventions. Im going to look further into this and bring it to the athletes I train within my CrossFit affiliate. Wow!!!! Also, my 6 breaths last 1:10, i didn’t know how impactful this was to my good health!!!

This conversation is life changing for daily health. I have ordered Dr. McKeown's book. I am now a champion to adopt nasal breathing. I started as I listened to your podcast. Thank you for being authentic human beings. Breathing intelligence helps me to stay connected to my physiology. Steps to slow, light and using the diaphragm and then breath holding... to a lighter more efficient life.

That was wonderful. 78 yr old 17 years into a diagnosis of congestive heart failure, whatever that means, and just loved this. Thank you so much.

Right on Patrick! Keep up your passion. Sometimes, you have to keep talking and repeating yourself to educate the lukewarm, doubting Thomas’’, so to speak. Sometimes the answer to our ailments are more simple and the struggle is to inform those that look for complicated, difficult ones.

This man is a Life Saver, God bless him for helping all those in need.

Thank you Dr Rangan for bringing this podcast. Thank you so much Patrick for sharing this valuable knowledge.
