Sharing Dr Berg notes on this interesting episode: Deep breathing does not increase blood oxygen levels. In fact, it can cause dizziness, make you tired, and even make you pass out. Your red blood cells will not release oxygen unless enough carbon dioxide (CO2) is present. This is known as the Bohr effect. This means that the amount of oxygen released from your blood into your cells is dependent upon CO2. If you’re breathing a lot or hyperventilating, you’ll get too much oxygen and not enough CO2. Too much oxygen can be dangerous to the body. If you give a baby too much oxygen, it can cause blindness, an epileptic seizure, or a coma. Too much oxygen also causes oxidation. People in a panicked state experience acute hyperventilation. Chronic hyperventilation, also known as carbon dioxide syndrome, is a lack of carbon dioxide that occurs when a person is consuming too much air. This is often triggered by stress. Mouth-breathing can deplete CO2 and inhibit oxygen absorption at the cellular level. This can affect the heart and cause hypoxia, fatigue, insomnia, muscle twitching, and increased histamine. To fix this problem, you need to train your body to breathe properly to get oxygen deep into the cells by doing the following: ➡1. Relax your breathing. Take soft, gentle breaths through your diaphragm and stomach, not your upper chest. Breathe in slowly for 5 seconds and exhale for 5 seconds. Practice this before you sleep at night, while driving, or while watching TV. This simple breathing technique can help your body get out of fight-or-flight mode. You can even use a free app to help you time your breathing! ➡2. Breathe through your nose. Your nose cleans, humidifies, and filters the air before it enters your lungs. Nose breathing increases your oxygen by 20%! ➡3. Use nose strips. Nose strips can help open your airways and sinuses while you sleep to help you breathe better. ➡4. Use mouth tape. Mouth tape can help you breathe through your nose while you sleep. You can filter the air all night, get more oxygen, and sleep better. You won’t wake up with a dry mouth, and you’ll wake up feeling refreshed. Mouth tape might even stop your snoring! Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
@@verballyabusiveclown6290I use the Wim Hoff breathing method every morning. During the breathing session I do breathe through my mouth, but generally I breathe through my nose. Breathe Along with Wim Hoff is the RUclips video I use.
I am 12 years old and I love your videos, i always had this breathing problem and people would tell me to breathe deeply but it never helped, this video was literally life changing, you are the best❤❤❤❤
You came to the right place kid! It's amazing how much natural therapies can help us. Dr Berg will teach you a Lot about human physiology and makes it Interesting
This man is doing such a good thing for human kind. He’s changed my life, I pass it on to others, they pass it on and so on. Of course those who don’t like what he’s doing will send others to attack his research. If others were not attacking you that’s when I would be worried! The more they come the more we are interested. 🙏
Thats why breathing techniques like wim hof's and free divers hold their breaths for extended amounts of time after forcefully hyperventilating. Just hyperventilating without incorporating the breath hold is bad of course. The extended breathe hold creates the surplus of co2 needed for the bio mechanism to work. I am able to hold my breathe for upwards of 4mins after exercising cycles of these techniques. It has restored, improved, maintained my lung capacity from extensive smoking in my earlier years and instilled a much needed AWARENESS to know how to consciously breathe whenever im feeling tired, weak or anxiety.
I had "chronic" hyperventilation thing, it lasted for three and a half years and I almost deleted myself over it. It's no joke, and you're not taken seriously either and get ZERO help from doctors, they just say that you have anxiety or are crazy. Got depressed, stopped eating, had trouble sleeping, got into walking for long distances until I got so exhausted that I passed out. Losing the weight was probably what did it the most since I probably had sleep apnea (no more) and get proper sleep-ish now. But there is hope that you can get over it and you are NOT crazy. (whoever is reading this)
Only had to try the tape a couple of nights and then I could do it without … after DECADES of mouthbreathing during sleep 😣 what a difference. And boxbreathing exercises helps me all of the time: in 8-10 sec, hold 8-10 sec, out 8-10 sec, hold 8-10 sec. (Repeat 10 times, in thru the nose, out through the mouth) Your stress and nervous thoughts will disappear. Concentrate on counting and hold as long as you like.
I've been nose-breathing for a year now thanks to your videos Dr. Berg. I'm on Search and Rescue and almost had to step back from being a grunt to taking on a leadership role due to my gout and what I thought was old age issues. Yesterday we had a training exercise and guess who wasn't huffing and puffing doing a heavy patient-litter carryout?
You describe this wrong. Deep breathing does increase oxygen. Then you immediately give the example of hyperventilating which is shallow breathing that's fast. Fast breathing is the problem. Deep breathing is not the problem. Holding your breath for a moment when you're at full lungs and then doing a long slow exhale is what works. Please correct this because deep breathing is very healthy. The best way is long slow exhales after faster inhale to full lungs. The slow exhale that is 2 to 4 times the time of the inhale is what gives the CO2 time to exchange out while the oxygen goes into the blood. Deep breathing stretches the lungs and increases lung capacity over time. Putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth opens up the passageway of the throat and then breathing through the nose, especially on the slow exhale also creates nitric oxide to improve blood pressure. There's a lot of more up-to-date research on breathing techniques. I've been teaching breathing techniques for 15 years and following the most up-to-date science along the way.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I've been suffering for many of the last 45 yrs on & off for months at a time with hyperventilating. I hyperventilated during the birth of my 1st child I was young & couldn't get enough oxygen into me to lessen the pain. Nurses just kept telling me use the oxygen mask. I just recently got so bad l tried RUclips & Dr. B & made sure to shut my mouth breath through my nose. It was difficult at first but within a couple of days. My gasping to get enough air into lungs that no matter what l did never felt l was getting enough. I still have to self correct from time to time through the day. Especially if I'm going through much stress that would trigger the sense that my lungs are not getting enough air. And the debilitating scenario would go on for many wks or mths. Do you have a video channel re breathing exercises...
You mentioned feeling light headed, seeing stars and feeling dizzy...I thought I was having a spiritual awakening😂. I keep hearing the term breath work. It's all connected.
Just think about this without God our Father and savior Creator we wouldn't even be able to have another breath or beat from our heart let us fully trust in , rely upon and to know JESUS and the power of His resurrection❤
Another great breathing technique is called "R.S.A." 👊 Almost 20 years ago, I learned about The Johari Window - Building Self Trust, Albert Ellis's - Rational Self Analysis, etc. It was then that not only did I start making better health choices, but I also realized that a 6th grade education wasn't bad at all! Special thanks to Ms. Anderson! ❤ Happy Saturday, everyone, and thanks again, Dr. Berg! 🙂
🤔 How does self trust relate to topic? Are we limited in health because we hate ourselves? And deprived of oxygen? Or just a a promotion for something? Please respond…❤
@@clementineforever I had a mentor that taught me to be positive and avoid the negative and it was a basis to change of attittude.

Vid on Albert Ellis (brief) Albert Ellis: A Guide to Rational Living - Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove (may help). Good luck and breathing helps, try to relax and calm yourself. Nutient such as B1 helps calm too.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I've been talking about this for a long time. That our cells need carbon dioxide to receive oxygen (intercellular gas exchange in animals). I recently explained this to my husband but You explained it perfectly. Buteyko breathing method, this is an excellent method of learning how to breathe properly (Doctor Konstantyn Pawłowicz Butejko/ Buteyko the russian doctor born 27/01/1923 died 02/05/2003). 💕💕💕
Very helpful information. I am learning a lot about breathing at this time due to some heart issues. I think we tend to take short, gasping breathes often during the day. A slowing down of our breath helps us relax. Thank you so much for helping here.
I do Wim Hof Method (App is amazing) every single day for almost a year because I have a lung disease: I do two sessions per day: 8 rounds in the morning and 3 rounds in the evening. Lie-down and in a safe environment. I take time to build up. Its cleared up my bloody mucus stoked in my airways. For me, it's a no brainer
One fascinating aspect of this is that holotropic breathwork can eliminate panic attacks which is sorta what the body is trying to do in a primitive way.
I was at the clinic requesting for some vitamins Guess what the doctor was reluctant to give But all ready to prescribe other medication instead My goodness
So then how do you view barametric chambers. Which I've been told it helps your body to heal from various things like cancer, ms, and other diseases. Your thoughts?
In the morning after the toilet breathe out the air from the nose vigorously and rotate your arms in circular method from back to front and bottom to top method it will help you clear your nasal passage ease breathing very helpful method especially for cities which have high level of pollution also for the smokers
Eric I challenge you to look up the controlled studies on the Wim Hoff method and the study done in 2012 on the immune system for Wim Hoff breathing otherwise known as tummo breathing. Saying that this style of breathing is bad for the body is the same thing as saying, weight training is bad for you because it puts a temporary stress on your body. Or saying eating plants is bad for you because of their defense mechanisms. Homeostasis what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. There is most certainly a benefit to tummo breathing. Feel free to look up the controlled studies on Wim Hof. He was able to enhance his white blood cell count and not have any immune response from an injection of E. coli bacteria. However I agree with the information about breathing through your nose and filtration system. I understand you want to make more videos for your channel but look at all the studies before you push out misinformation. Kind regards , Taylor
Dr. Berg can u please help us vegetarians? We also watch your channel with so much of hope. I am suffering from an autoimmune condition. Looking for help 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
An aunt life long severe asthma aufferer had excellent results using Buteyko technique and managed to get off both inhalers. This channel is superb even though one of my kitchen cabinets has been taken over by the periodic table of supps!!😂
I use a bandana tied at the top of my head to keep my mouth closed at night. I have a full beard so mouth tape is problematic and much more expensive. I have been doing this for a couple of years. My gum health is substantially better. No more bleeding gums when I have my teeth cleaned. Also there is nitric oxide being produced when you breathe through your nose.
Start deep breathing right now lol I always worry at night because I’m a shallow breather…..I thought thumbnail was 🍕if I eat too much pizza I can’t breathe at all 😂😂
Thank you for the helpful info. If so, why would sport coaches/vinyasa yoga teachers suggest tightening the core during workout and breathe with diaphragm?
I have histamine intolerance and when I hold my breathe for various reasons, even at times you don't realize you hold your breath like when doing something, like mopping or coughing...I have a histamine reaction. My histamine reaction comes in the form of feeling like I can't breathe. So I have to take a quarter of a Zyrtec for it to go away. Working on finding the root cause of this histamine issue. But I am happy to hear someone else talking about breathing and histamine reaction. I have never heard anyone else talk about it!
IT is correct that you should always breath through your nose. There are several more tricks to improve nose air. One is suction your tongue to the back of the mouth (mewing) IDK why it works but it does. Also breathe into your whole body, especially front upper chest and lower back, which is minimized by bad posture.
Sir can you make a video on what we should check on the label before buying copper and zinc supplements (also which form) , or any trace minerals and electrolytes at normal pharmacy store?
Good question, there are so many supplements out there on the market that contain harmful ingredients and a lot of people are taking these which are causing even more health Issue's. Then there's the actual Capsule Form too, I've heard that Gelatin Caps can cause bacteria to build up in the guts, HPMC Caps absorb fluids from the guts, so what does this mean, purchase powders only? If we can't get powders what do we do open some of the capsules up ? (Not HCL though)
I started 100% breathing in and out through my nose 1 1/2 years ago. This has made a huge difference in my health, my thinking, and my overall athletic performance, including when I swim breathing in and out only through my nose. I now teach anyone who listens to close their mouth, even the children in my life. I only regret I didn't start this 65 years ago. Try it, it's free, and it's the way we were made to breathe.
Extremely educating and informative video on proper breathing! Unfortunately; I suffer from Asthma and Sleep Apnea; so this information is very beneficial to me! Thank you so much; Dr. Berg!
Slowing your breathing also lowers your heart rate. It can increase cardio efficiency at moderate or moderately high levels of effort. The heart and lungs have a autonomic sympathetic relationship. You feel oxygen deprived, so you breath faster, which increases your heart rate, which lowers you cardio efficiency, a viscous circle. Kind of makes you wonder if nose breathing is by design, the maximum sustainable uptake.
My technique to keep windows well ventilated with mesh and keep washroom exhaust on for cross ventilation. the best time to get maximum oxygen while body getting repaired itself .last 3 months my electricity Bill reduced to 1/3rd
I have a history of pulmonary embolism, I keep one of those little pulse/ox meters on my desk and check my O2 regularly. When I'm relaxed and sitting at my desk, breathing through my nose as you described and I run 98-100% regularly. It drops a point or two if I'm breathing though my mouth.
Hi Dr.Berg. I just purchased your Gallbladder formula extra strength. Should I also get the TUDCA to go along with it? I don’t want to take double or more than necessary. I just watched your video on digestive issues from the stomach to gallbladder, pancreas and so on. I am suffering a great deal. I believe that betaine HCL, ox bile, pancreatic, etc is the answer for me. Having all the symptoms for some time and is getting more frequent. I hope you get my comment and answer please. Thank you for your tireless help to humanity.
extremely interesting video Dr Berg, as a 62 year old (former smoker) learning how to run again, after 40 years, after 16 months of walking 5 miles a day, i have lost 115 Pounds, but having trouble with acid Reflux, and Breathing, especially during cold days. and even warm days, i wind up only can run for 200 yards before hyperventaling, learning how to breath through the nose (to give extra Nitrogen), but this causes a shortage of air.. so learning how to breath through both..lol
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I've had a hard time with this exact thing, ever since I became disabled and gained weight. With constant nagging pain and often pulling muscles and stuff, just doing normal daily activities because I had become sedentary and weak! I also tend to breathe differently from being taught that diaphragm breathing was noisy & bothersome to others. Especially doing call center work lol, but I've been diaphragm breathing again. It's our natural way of breathing and I don't care if it bothers others anymore! I still catch myself breathing from upper chest and switch. I've been learning about "mewing" lately and it helps with breathing through the nose and some other things, too! It's a popular subject for awhile now, too! I didn't realize that the way I was breathing while I'm up doing things was causing this cycle. It totally explains it perfectly! I've been taking an antihistamine & allergy medicine every day for many years, and couldn't figure out why I felt like my seasonal allergies seemed to rapidly get worse & were now year round.. and worse in the house! I'm seriously considering buying a soda stream so I can have cheaper carbonated water at home! This is fantastic information, thank you! 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
You'll feel like you're passing out because you're breathing to quickly, that's not the case for slow deep breathing, people who meditate do this all the time🤦♂️
You seem to equate deep breathing and hyperventilation. To me, deep breathing means slowing the pace to about 6 breaths/minute. Very hard to hyperventilate at 6 breaths per minute. Funny, by the time I wrote this, you prescribed exactly 6 breaths per minute! Semantics are confusing.
Probably not the same problem. How fast or slow I breathe the saturation normallally doesnt change. To make it more complex: we dont feel the lack of oxigen but the excess carbon dioxide in the blood.
What if your nose is stuffy and it's haed to get air? It triggers my panic, even though I conceptually know maybe over time i will get enough oxygen. I dont breathe much through my mouth, more so just feel i have to breathe in a huge amount to feel satisfied.
This is one of the most informative videos I've seen from you lately thank you so much for this information. Going to start drinking carbonated water now

Gd mrng doctor, can u make a video on brain haemorage of Indian celebritiy like sadguru Jaggi Vasudev who is yoga guru, and heart stroke suffered by Indian crickter sowrav gabguly, heart stroke by Punit Raj Kumar(kanada film hero) gourav Gandhi (cardialagist from gujarat) and andra Pradesh IT minister mekapati gowtam Reddy. All the above celebrities life is associated with fitness & healthy lifestyle. It is being demotived to the people who follow healthy life styles, work outs, exercises.
Hi Dr. Berg Do you have experience using the keto diet to treat Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) . It is a rare neurological condition that can cause problems with balance, movement, vision, speech and swallowing. It's caused by increasing numbers of brain cells becoming damaged over time. Thanks
0:10 isn't deep breathing what you described at 5:08? breathing deep for 5-10 seconds... letting it out for 5-10 seconds I just googled "deep breathing" and found Deep breathing involves breathing in slowly through the nose and then out through the mouth using the diaphragm (the thin muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen) and abdominal muscles. This helps boost the amount of oxygen in the blood, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, and reduces muscle tension. did you misspeak or whats happening here, did you think deep breathing was hyperventilation
I've been facing this everytime when I get a kind of panic attack or stress. It will make us afraid more if we're not concious enough, and make us think I'll be passing out, the fear this situation creates that I'm saying. I was googling and it created more stress indirectly, At this situation, my nose starts to block i would be breathing alright until then, but suddenly it starts and makes me breathe conciously, like I forget how to breathe. I'll be out and seeing things that are green and try to ground myself and change my focus to get out of that situation, this to me mostly happens when I'm on a overthinking loop or some over excitement stage. I start to feel week, my hands and legs go numb, and pain in one side of chest, and back.. then I just rinse my hands and face in water and this slowly I feel I'm concious and get back from this. Not sure of the cause, am I having high blood pressure or low? Any underlying health condition? not sure, but one thing i know, I don't move my ass much for years now, after pandamic got into WFH, sitting in 1 place for more than 12 hrs a day.. not good, should move and have a healthy lifestyle. Thanks @Dr. Eric Berg for putting this video, really will help many these days! 👨🏻⚕

I've had asthma all my life and developed a breathing program but not only helps with asthmatics, it helps people that hyperventilate 😎🤘💯🏆🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏
Carbonated water depletes the minerals from your teeth
One fascinating aspect of this is that holotropic breathwork can eliminate panic attacks which is sorta what the body is trying to do in a primitive way.
When I saw the thumbnail, I was hopeful that pizza is now OK to eat... Oh, well.
This contradicts Wim Hof. Anyone got anything on this?
I was at the clinic requesting for some vitamins
Guess what
the doctor was reluctant to give
But all ready to prescribe other medication instead
My goodness
In short, do YOG 🕉️ 🚩
So then how do you view barametric chambers. Which I've been told it helps your body to heal from various things like cancer, ms, and other diseases. Your thoughts?
It’s called Pranayama. Indians - Yogis have been practicing this technique since time immemorial
Westerners are clever to steal and repackage knowledge, discoveries and inventions.
Came for pepperoni pizza. Was little disappointed
In the morning after the toilet breathe out the air from the nose vigorously and rotate your arms in circular method from back to front and bottom to top method it will help you clear your nasal passage ease breathing very helpful method especially for cities which have high level of pollution also for the smokers
Eric I challenge you to look up the controlled studies on the Wim Hoff method and the study done in 2012 on the immune system for Wim Hoff breathing otherwise known as tummo breathing.
Saying that this style of breathing is bad for the body is the same thing as saying, weight training is bad for you because it puts a temporary stress on your body. Or saying eating plants is bad for you because of their defense mechanisms.
Homeostasis what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. There is most certainly a benefit to tummo breathing. Feel free to look up the controlled studies on Wim Hof. He was able to enhance his white blood cell count and not have any immune response from an injection of E. coli bacteria.
However I agree with the information about breathing through your nose and filtration system.
I understand you want to make more videos for your channel but look at all the studies before you push out misinformation.
Kind regards ,
Taylor

I do Wim Hof breathing and was just thinking of this. Thanks for your explanation.
Thank you. I am pulmnry therapist and he misses the mark completely
Love Wim hof breathing
Dr. Berg can u please help us vegetarians? We also watch your channel with so much of hope. I am suffering from an autoimmune condition. Looking for help 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
An aunt life long severe asthma aufferer had excellent results using Buteyko technique and managed to get off both inhalers. This channel is superb even though one of my kitchen cabinets has been taken over by the periodic table of supps!!😂
شكرآ على تلك المعلومات القيمة فيما يخص الأكسجين وكيفية التنفس شكرآ دكتور❤
This could never be an easy video for you to release in 2020 I guess .. !!
So you're telling me an oxygen hyperbaric chamber is a bad thing?
Drinking carbonated water throws off my electrolytes, makes me feel bad and have leg cramps. I looked into it and it is a thing...
This costs a Lot less than hyperbaric treatments. Perhaps comparable results? The ancient yogis knew breathing techniques were very powerful.
Thank you so so much for your information about O2 and CO2 ❤. Love your videos ❤
I use a bandana tied at the top of my head to keep my mouth closed at night. I have a full beard so mouth tape is problematic and much more expensive. I have been doing this for a couple of years. My gum health is substantially better. No more bleeding gums when I have my teeth cleaned. Also there is nitric oxide being produced when you breathe through your nose.
That horseradish I ate last night helped my sinuses open up when I slept.
And walking with a dental pick in your mouth keeps it shut for walking, ha.
Start deep breathing right now lol
I always worry at night because I’m a shallow breather…..I thought thumbnail was 🍕if I eat too much pizza I can’t breathe at all 😂😂
Same problem to me also
Thank you for the helpful info. If so, why would sport coaches/vinyasa yoga teachers suggest tightening the core during workout and breathe with diaphragm?
I have histamine intolerance and when I hold my breathe for various reasons, even at times you don't realize you hold your breath like when doing something, like mopping or coughing...I have a histamine reaction. My histamine reaction comes in the form of feeling like I can't breathe. So I have to take a quarter of a Zyrtec for it to go away. Working on finding the root cause of this histamine issue. But I am happy to hear someone else talking about breathing and histamine reaction. I have never heard anyone else talk about it!
Reduced or dysfunctional production of the enzyme diamine oxidase(DAO) responsible for breaking down histamine in the body
@@dmichael6320 B- Complex vitamins help that I think.
I keep doing a double-take on that thumbnail -- looks like you're snorting a pizza. 😂
I may be biased, but you are the best.
It's 0,03% or 300ppm CO2 in fresh air, not 0,3%.
great info. just like a great book I read by James Nestor Breath The New Science of A Lost Art. We been breathing wrong the whole time.
Listen to Wim Hof - the greatest breathing master. Too many things were wrong in this video.
Try alternative nostril breathing +lion breath + Wim hof breathing. Thank me later ❤
You pass out from over breathing, so deep breathing and feeling light headed means it's working
IT is correct that you should always breath through your nose. There are several more tricks to improve nose air. One is suction your tongue to the back of the mouth (mewing) IDK why it works but it does. Also breathe into your whole body, especially front upper chest and lower back, which is minimized by bad posture.
Sir can you make a video on what we should check on the label before buying copper and zinc supplements (also which form) , or any trace minerals and electrolytes at normal pharmacy store?
Good question, there are so many supplements out there on the market that contain harmful ingredients and a lot of people are taking these which are causing even more health Issue's.
Then there's the actual Capsule Form too, I've heard that Gelatin Caps can cause bacteria to build up in the guts, HPMC Caps absorb fluids from the guts, so what does this mean, purchase powders only? If we can't get powders what do we do open some of the capsules up ? (Not HCL though)
@@Jbinkstar yea u r right
I started 100% breathing in and out through my nose 1 1/2 years ago. This has made a huge difference in my health, my thinking, and my overall athletic performance, including when I swim breathing in and out only through my nose. I now teach anyone who listens to close their mouth, even the children in my life. I only regret I didn't start this 65 years ago. Try it, it's free, and it's the way we were made to breathe.
2:30
Extremely educating and informative video on proper breathing!
Unfortunately;
I suffer from Asthma and Sleep Apnea; so this information is very beneficial to me!
Thank you so much;
Dr. Berg!
Slowing your breathing also lowers your heart rate. It can increase cardio efficiency at moderate or moderately high levels of effort. The heart and lungs have a autonomic sympathetic relationship. You feel oxygen deprived, so you breath faster, which increases your heart rate, which lowers you cardio efficiency, a viscous circle. Kind of makes you wonder if nose breathing is by design, the maximum sustainable uptake.
Doesn’t wim hof kind of go against this?
I tend to hold my breath when I am stressed.
I thought this video was going to be about how the smell of pizza can positively impact your health 😅
Reputable content to know inside our body
Thank you, Dr. Berg
My technique to keep windows well ventilated with mesh and keep washroom exhaust on for cross ventilation. the best time to get maximum oxygen while body getting repaired itself .last 3 months my electricity Bill reduced to 1/3rd
Understandable that is why we give a bag to a person to breathe in out when they are hyperventilating.
Dr. Berg, with all your youtube vids thank you for all you do for the people. Jesus Mary Joseph bless you and your family.
Been doing mouth taping for over 5 yrs now,game changer!
Thanks for this insightful video, Dr Berg ❤😊
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’d never tape my mouth shut 🤐 when sleeping 😬
Just do it all other times! Haha!
My 92 year old dad has been doing it for a year now and it has helped him. 🤷🏽♀️
Fascinating information. I will definitely put into practice these tips.
I have a history of pulmonary embolism, I keep one of those little pulse/ox meters on my desk and check my O2 regularly. When I'm relaxed and sitting at my desk, breathing through my nose as you described and I run 98-100% regularly. It drops a point or two if I'm breathing though my mouth.
Dr. Berg is just So Smart I can’t comprehend it all. 😊
Hi Dr.Berg. I just purchased your Gallbladder formula extra strength. Should I also get the TUDCA to go along with it? I don’t want to take double or more than necessary. I just watched your video on digestive issues from the stomach to gallbladder, pancreas and so on. I am suffering a great deal. I believe that betaine HCL, ox bile, pancreatic, etc is the answer for me. Having all the symptoms for some time and is getting more frequent. I hope you get my comment and answer please. Thank you for your tireless help to humanity.
extremely interesting video Dr Berg, as a 62 year old (former smoker) learning how to run again, after 40 years, after 16 months of walking 5 miles a day, i have lost 115 Pounds, but having trouble with acid Reflux, and Breathing, especially during cold days. and even warm days, i wind up only can run for 200 yards before hyperventaling, learning how to breath through the nose (to give extra Nitrogen), but this causes a shortage of air.. so learning how to breath through both..lol
Dr Berg, what do you think about the hyperbaric chamber? Is it good or bad, under what conditions can it be used?
Opinion on the wim hof breathing?
I think he is against WHM😢
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I've had a hard time with this exact thing, ever since I became disabled and gained weight. With constant nagging pain and often pulling muscles and stuff, just doing normal daily activities because I had become sedentary and weak! I also tend to breathe differently from being taught that diaphragm breathing was noisy & bothersome to others. Especially doing call center work lol, but I've been diaphragm breathing again. It's our natural way of breathing and I don't care if it bothers others anymore! I still catch myself breathing from upper chest and switch. I've been learning about "mewing" lately and it helps with breathing through the nose and some other things, too! It's a popular subject for awhile now, too! I didn't realize that the way I was breathing while I'm up doing things was causing this cycle. It totally explains it perfectly! I've been taking an antihistamine & allergy medicine every day for many years, and couldn't figure out why I felt like my seasonal allergies seemed to rapidly get worse & were now year round.. and worse in the house! I'm seriously considering buying a soda stream so I can have cheaper carbonated water at home! This is fantastic information, thank you! 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
Thank you Dr. Berg!
For completeness could you please illustrate the oxygen dissociation curve as well.
You'll feel like you're passing out because you're breathing to quickly, that's not the case for slow deep breathing, people who meditate do this all the time🤦♂️
🎶Every breath you take...I'll be watching you...🎶 :P Thank you Dr. Berg!
What about chronic stuffy nose/sinusitis?
wonder why is the Wimhof method working then (too), it's the total opposite breathing method
Try alternative nostril breathing +lion breath + Wim hof breathing
Amazing video, Dr Berg. Great explanation. Thank you 🙏🏻
I'm so glad you like it!
The Oxygen Advantage. Read this book!
Doc plese give atutorial video. Got confused with technique
Dr. Berg, I have very high CO2 in my body and my blood is thick. What can I do to level out my CO2 with my oxygen
seamoss cordyceps fish oil methylene blue saffron ittp
You seem to equate deep breathing and hyperventilation. To me, deep breathing means slowing the pace to about 6 breaths/minute. Very hard to hyperventilate at 6 breaths per minute. Funny, by the time I wrote this, you prescribed exactly 6 breaths per minute! Semantics are confusing.
Hyperventilation is defined as an increase in the rate and/or depth of breathing
Again an, american doctor trying to explain pranayam in english.
😂😂
He isn’t a doctor. Gross.
This came at an appropriate time. Found out my blood oxygen is one point below the minimum it's supposed to be so hopefully this will help.
Probably not the same problem. How fast or slow I breathe the saturation normallally doesnt change. To make it more complex: we dont feel the lack of oxigen but the excess carbon dioxide in the blood.
What if your nose is stuffy and it's haed to get air? It triggers my panic, even though I conceptually know maybe over time i will get enough oxygen. I dont breathe much through my mouth, more so just feel i have to breathe in a huge amount to feel satisfied.
This is one of the most informative videos I've seen from you lately thank you so much for this information. Going to start drinking carbonated water now

Gd mrng doctor, can u make a video on brain haemorage of Indian celebritiy like sadguru Jaggi Vasudev who is yoga guru, and heart stroke suffered by Indian crickter sowrav gabguly, heart stroke by Punit Raj Kumar(kanada film hero) gourav Gandhi (cardialagist from gujarat) and andra Pradesh IT minister mekapati gowtam Reddy. All the above celebrities life is associated with fitness & healthy lifestyle. It is being demotived to the people who follow healthy life styles, work outs, exercises.
First deep breath I got dizzy
Hi Dr. Berg
Do you have experience using the keto diet to treat Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) . It is a rare neurological condition that can cause problems with balance, movement, vision, speech and swallowing. It's caused by increasing numbers of brain cells becoming damaged over time. Thanks
Thanks for good tip my experience is we need to learn pranayama breath exercise, very good gift given by 150 old yogi’s
Thanks for that info. Have a nice day.
0:10 isn't deep breathing what you described at 5:08? breathing deep for 5-10 seconds... letting it out for 5-10 seconds
I just googled "deep breathing" and found
Deep breathing involves breathing in slowly through the nose and then out through the mouth using the diaphragm (the thin muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen) and abdominal muscles. This helps boost the amount of oxygen in the blood, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, and reduces muscle tension.
did you misspeak or whats happening here, did you think deep breathing was hyperventilation
Air is composed of 78% Nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.96% Other gases (mostly Argon) and .04% Carbon Dioxide.
1:00 is a strange way of explaining this.
I've been facing this everytime when I get a kind of panic attack or stress. It will make us afraid more if we're not concious enough, and make us think I'll be passing out, the fear this situation creates that I'm saying. I was googling and it created more stress indirectly, At this situation, my nose starts to block i would be breathing alright until then, but suddenly it starts and makes me breathe conciously, like I forget how to breathe. I'll be out and seeing things that are green and try to ground myself and change my focus to get out of that situation, this to me mostly happens when I'm on a overthinking loop or some over excitement stage. I start to feel week, my hands and legs go numb, and pain in one side of chest, and back.. then I just rinse my hands and face in water and this slowly I feel I'm concious and get back from this. Not sure of the cause, am I having high blood pressure or low? Any underlying health condition? not sure, but one thing i know, I don't move my ass much for years now, after pandamic got into WFH, sitting in 1 place for more than 12 hrs a day.. not good, should move and have a healthy lifestyle.
Thanks @Dr. Eric Berg for putting this video, really will help many these days! 👨🏻⚕
