This DAILY BREATHING TECHNIQUE Will Transform Your Body & Mind TODAY! | James Nestor

- In today’s episode, we’re returning to one of my favourite topics. Breathwork is where my personal and professional interests collide. How we breathe affects every body system we have and I’m excited to welcome James Nestor, science journalist and author of new book Breath, which explores the data behind this ancient, but some might say lost, art.
And yes, it is an art. As we discuss, it doesn’t matter whether you follow a new or ancient technique to harness the potential of your breath, the principles are the same. What I love about James’ approach is he has no agenda to push. He hasn’t developed his own breathing technique, theory or product. He’s a journalist with an enquiring, sceptical mind. By his own admission, he came from a place where - like many of you, perhaps - he thought, ‘What’s all the fuss about breathing? It’s automatic, it’s easy, our bodies know what they’re doing’. But do they really?
During this conversation, we cover some of the fascinating - objective - insights James has uncovered in his research. He explains the benefits of nasal breathing, the importance of masticating and how diet affects the skeletal development of our children’s mouths. James reveals how learning to chew more, chewing on one side and using mouth tape at night has changed the structure of his own mouth. His airways - and his wellbeing - have never been better. We discuss the long list of conditions breathing may improve; how athletes can benefit. And James reveals the therapeutic process behind some ‘super breathing’ techniques.
Whether you’re already practising breathwork, you’re curious or yet to be convinced, James has a no-nonsense, rigorous approach we can all take something from. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

The video describes several breathing techniques:
1. Deep belly breathing - He talks about filling your belly first with air before expanding your chest. This is the natural and full body way of breathing that helps maximize oxygen intake.
2. Slowing down your breathing rate - He encourages taking slower, deeper breaths to relax. Taking 5-7 second breaths in and out helps stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system which calms the body.
3. Turning inhalations into exhalations and vice versa - He mentions reversing the breath where the inhalation feels like an exhalation and the exhalation feels like an inhalation. This mental switch can help one let go of tension.
4. Box breathing - He describes a 4 part breathing exercise where you breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, breathe out for 4 counts and hold for 4 counts, then repeat. This structured pattern helps create a rhythm that calms the mind.
5. Morning breaths - He talks about taking 10-20 deep breaths first thing in the morning to energize and clear the mind for the day ahead. These full breaths help maximize oxygen intake when the body needs it most.
In summary, the video focuses on techniques like deep belly breathing, slowing the breath, structured breathing patterns, and morning breaths to help relax, energize and build mindfulness around one's breathing. The key is to take full, deep breaths using the full capacity of your lungs.
This is a clever man.
Thanks a million ❤😊
I wish you would summarize every video on RUclips! Thanks.
Good summary. Thanks.
Thx bro
I totally believe that the slower or less you can breath, the longer you will live and the healthier you will be throughout your life.
My family doctor and heart doctor both are always amazed at my age and health. I'm in my 85th yr.
and going into my 86th in two months. My doctors say that I look and motivate
as if I was in my mid sixties.
Years ago I told my family doctor, whose nationality is Indian, that I have always breathed very slowly and sometimes even stopped until I noticed that I needed to and had to take in one good breath. I believe that it slows down your body's function to a very minimum which also is a suspension of time for your body's overall function. This I thought was why I was aging so slowly. The doctor stood back just stared in thought and was processing what I said. I also stated that this slower body function was somewhat synonymous with India's Guru's life practices. They also live longer and healthier lives. Also eating much less but healthier food more easily digestible can also help your overall health.
I might mention that I also am a highly spiritual person.
When alone, I very often spend a lot of time meditating on my past and present life and do a personal evaluation to see my shortcomings and needed priorities which is a way to better plan my life.
Thanks so much for sharing! Very cool thoughts. I hope your great health continues!! :)

16:35 Why is breathing through your nose important.
Night time 19:05
Measurements with instruments prove this is beneficial. 21:30
22:17 Correct way to use Night tape ⬆️ Breathing through the nose gives 20 percent more oxygen. It makes a huge difference in your health.
👍 People wrote and said doing the night tape made their snoring and sleep apnea go away. (And dry mouth)
35:12 Chewing exercises to help your facial bones structure. ( Pallet expander and chewing things that are harder to chew. ) Creates increased bone structure and increases airway, improves breathing and oxygen intake.
38:48 Why Chewing on alternating sides of the mouth is beneficial.
50:16 Changing the way you breathe might help with asthma.
50:53 A choral conductor found a new way of doing a deep breathing exercise for singers that also helped patients with emphasema improve enough to be able to leave the hospital and go home. ♥️ HIS NAME : CARL STOUGH

I'm 72 years old but I've learned more in the 7 years than in my lifetime. Today ' is one of them. Awesome... Thanks for the fantastic advice.
What happened 7 years ago? Started watching RUclips?
OMG! Listened while walking. I am overweight and been doing 8000 steps in the morning for last month. Up to now I arrived home panting. But not today! Breathed through nose all the way and did not arrive home panting. Thank u both! WOW!!!
We are doing the same thing lol. When I go on my daily walks I'm kinda mediating because I'm thinking about my breathing. Always through the nose. I noticed after just 1 week it's getting easier
I like inhale 2 strides, exhale 5 strides. Maybe you will too.
Yes! Congrats you! Next time you walk don't even count your steps or distance. Just do it. Breathe the right way. Be only in the moment. I mean in the moment. Not I'm doing this to get better. It's incredible! You'll have more strength Than imaginable. Bcuz once you get both of those aligned. You just let go. Let life he. If I drop dead. Then so be it! You won't! God's got u then. No more fear.. just let it go. Slow down and breathe and trust. You just found God. Took me 21 years to learn this. Please if u suffer. Please try it. Get out of your head. Back into the heart, then everything just flows through the mind. Creativity. Things u never knew u had.
I got covid during the first wave and lost a part of my breathing capacity. My lungs weren't damaged but my breathing capacity was. I started practicing Afghan walking( rhythmic nose breathing while walking) and Wim Hof method . I have not only got back my breathing capacity but also healed f on my autoimmune disease. There were no autoimmune markers in my last blood test.
Breathing is life .
Thank you. This gives me hope. Did it take long for you to heal?
I LOVE when Western medicine and science start catching up with ancient practices like yoga and qigong !! Please continue, and make it mainstream
Hey you. Yes, you. You're probably scrolling through the comments, like I am, reading all these motivational comments. If you are reading this at night, you should get some sleep, and don't stress about everything going on in the world, or what you are going through. Don't dwell on things from the past, don't stress on your future. Just live your life, because you only get one. Do whatever makes you happy, not what other people want from you.
For me, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning, get some exercise, and cherish life for the amazing blessing that it is. I hope you do the same and have an amazing day as well!
Stay safe and stay relaxed
Sounds marvelous thank you morsel

My aunt had COPD . Used many inhalers in her later years her bones would break easily when she fell. Also I used the slow breathing when I had Covid 19 in Feb. 2020. I stayed home. Thought I might need to go to hospital. I have history of asthma, bronchitis and have had bacterial pneumonia once. I was using g my inhaler every 2 hrs at the apex, at the worst when struggling to breath. It did not improve that one night so I started breathing very slow, raised my arms up and breathed deep and slow from the belly. After 30 min I felt my lungs open up more.
are you still doing this?
@@tamarunitamaruni4724 that was two years ago when I was working IN a school, caught covid for the first time. I have become a school bus driver still catching the respiratory viruses going around this year. was sick three times this year with the respiratory virus but immune system low due to a traumatic stress event this past August. I still used the inhaler to avoid bronchitis this past fall and winter, not as bad as that first covid. Yes, I did use slow breathing and inhaler when I was sick. I also used supplements like vitamin D, echinacea Sambuca, moringa, reduced sugar intake. increased hydration and had a lot of homemade chicken broth w garlic 2 boost immune system

@@leesilber4980 can you post a link for breathing for immortality and are you using it yourself
I use to have asthma and use to go to hospital, I stared to do breathing without knowing the benefit and to my surprise one day I realized that I no longer had asthma to this day and that’s from 1983.
I started doing breathing since I was just a little baby, and let me tell you - it’s some seriously life changing stuff! I would never want to go without it now. I think everyone should breathe. Just my humble opinion.
@@jimiboi87 lmaooooo
Congratulations 🎉
You just reminded me that my asthma disappeared too under similar circumstances. I vaguely remember that as a kid I realized that if I slowed my breathing down, and breathed less, it would mean I'd trigger less asthma attacks, so I just started doing that. Slow breathing became my regular breathing pattern i think. Some time afterwards my asthma disappeared, I'm not sure how long it toko because this all happened decades ago. But your post just made me realize that the end of my asthma may have been directly connected to that breathing technique which I just naturally fell into as a kid to prevent asthma attacks.
@@jimiboi87 this is how winning is done , also helps in being alive too! Lol nice comment
Great information.
For the past 33 years I have suffered w a sleep disorder
Dr said that that my sleep wake cycle in the brain was broken
T my knowledge n what they put me thru there is no test for this
I kept passing out at work w no provocation.
Well it comes n goes
I started passing out again n terrified t go anywhere
Instinctively I started t do some slow deep breathing when I felt like I was gonna pass out n it seemed t pass
I felt the brain was not getting enuff oxygen
I took breathing classes before but they were too expensive
I want this book
I just ate 2 stalks of celery, as I was directed t purchase it
This guy makes a lot of sense
Thank u both Dr. C💓❤️😛🤩
I've been nasal breathing while running for about a year now. You definitely recover quicker, even after a sprint.
I have had dry mouth at night while sleeping and dental decay for decades but never realized how the two are connected until now. Last two nights after watching this podcast, I've slept with my mouth taped closed. I thought it might feel claustrophobic or anxiety-producing but I found it's actually quite the opposite. I slept better, and had an overall sense of peace that is hard to describe. And I noticed I had saliva in my mouth, and properly moist teeth all night long. I was also able to sleep on my back, which I cannot usually do because without tape, sleeping on my back finds me snorting abruptly and awakening rudely, feeling like I'm swallowing my very dry tongue down my parched throat. But with the tape I just breathe, no matter what position I'm in. Sometimes in the early morning hours, I get an anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach, like a mini anxiety attack. This didn't happen the last two nights while wearing tape. I wonder if it was from parasympathetic calming, or proper regulation of oxygen/CO2 levels, or some combo of it all. Whatever, I felt more peaceful and didn't have that knot in the stomach feeling, like an adrenaline rush when someone pulls out abruptly in front of me in traffic. I wonder if in the early morning hours my cortisol levels rise towards awakening, which I think is normal, but which for me seem to go overboard and cause an anxious feeling. I must learn more. But I do know the last two mornings after sleeping with my mouth taped shut, I had no anxious episodes, no "kicked in the gut" panic sensations. I kept the tape on my mouth in the morning after waking, and did my usual meditation and stretching routines, altogether about 12 hours wearing the tape. And it was great - very peaceful. Sometimes I couldn't even tell the tape was there - it felt so natural. Thank you Rangan and James, for sharing this important information!
That was my experience as well until I started taping my mouth a few years ago. If I forget or get lazy and dont tape, I have this experience all over again. However, since exercising my jaw I feel my mouth doesn't drop open so readily.
@@Noor-jw2tn I will have to do some jaw exercises! Thanks.
I noticed that I have an easier time breathing through my nose since I am on new medicine. I don’t have that horrible side effect that make it difficult. What a relief.
Any kind of tape is best to use?
@@BadgerBabyBoy I use some medical cloth tape like you'd use to apply large bandages which I had on hand here. It's about an inch wide, and I cut a piece long enough to cover my lips, and apply it horizontally so my lips stay together all night and I can't breathe at all through my mouth. Otherwise my mouth dries out. It seems to work fine. Stays on all night. I can even peel it back to take a sip of water and then stick the tape back down and it does stay. I may see if I can find all cotton medical tape, if it even exists. I imagine what I'm using might be some kind of polyester or nylon or something like that. I'm not sure, as the packaging is missing - just the roll of tape was there in my medicine cabinet.
I started taping my mouth over a year ago as I realised I was waking up many times during the night.
I slept right through the first night and continue to sleep well now. The other Benefit was I found I spent most of my day with my mouth open. The night-time routine has trained my mind to keep my mouth closed except for when I speak. Highly recommend the book. The history of breathing was so interesting.
His book "Breath" is awesome. Its one of the best 10 books i have ever read. I already educated myself about breathing long ago but learned so many new things in this book. Its basically a potential life changer if you are willing to put some or all of the ideas presented into praxis.
Hi, lass bitte drüber sprechen. Hast du Instagram? :D
Just started this and am so glad someone's getting this out there. Besides having meditated for 45 years, I've lived nearly my whole life at 8,000' and spend a lot of time at up to over 14,000'. When hiking and climbing, you can use different breathing patterns like gears on a bike. Also, at high altitude, the body tends to automatically shut down non-essential functions, even superfluous thought. Some of my earliest experiences of pure consciousness devoid of the thought process were at high altitude. Now it's my default state.
Thanks for this information I just started learning how to breathe
Muito interessante essas informações.
High altitude hiking does this 100%
reminds me of being on himalayan mountains
The collapse of Margin debt leads to a decrease in stock prices and trigger a wave of selling as investors try to cover their losses, Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $145K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions
I'll suggest you find a mentor or someone with experience guide you especially in this recession. especially for your 401K, IRA and portfolio diversification.
@@MarcelPhilips I agree, I thought I was doing alright profit wise, until I needed assistance with diversification, I reached out to a financial advisor and in less than a year I was just $51,000 shy away from $640k which is like 7x more than I make on my own..
@@BrunoLuke I've been thinking of going that route been holding on to a bunch of stocks that keeps tanking and I don't know if to keep holding or just dump them, think your Inv-coach could guide me with portfolio-restructuring..

@@BrunoLuke I just looked her up on the internet and looked into her credentials. I wrote her a letter outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her.
Breathe through nose, use a small tape to close your mouth at night to cure snoring, chew your food, eat wholean food that is harder and stay aware of how you breath. Wowoowo Thanks for the practical tips. Dr.. Rangan's podcast is always full of tips and tricks to stay healthy.
How awesome it is to see this subject being discussed~~ I have been treating my patients this way for last decade!! I am a dentist creating and developing maxillary arch with 3D orthodontics. Having proper quality oxygenation affects every aspect of our lives, much more than we have ever realized. Huge thumbs up for this youtube video ^^
James... thank you ever so kindly for your "scientific investigative journalistic rigor" in presenting such a fluid perspective regarding breathing techniques surrounding the realm of breath. I will be getting your book and appreciating your research. Sincerely... Michael Moreau.
It would help a lot if I did not have bleeding in the nostrils, swelling in the nostrils. I was told by a dentist when entering the military that I do NOT have a cleft palate but it also did not completely seal either which causes a lot of my breathing issues. Not only that but when a quack army doc refused to treat my broken neck (it has been properly treated now) but instead put me on a TENS unit full strength it caused formation of bone spurs. The first one was, sure enough, at the join point of the palate and it had to be ground off. The second one was at my wrist no where near where the TENS was applied. The third nearly caused me to become quadriplegic at the broken neck joint. It was removed when the broken neck bone was removed and replaced with a cadaver bone. Held with a plate and four screws. Titanium yay. Army medicine. VA is not much better but all I can afford even with Medicare.

Clara is there any paper in dentistry literature that shows the benefits of proper quality oxygenation affects any aspect of our lives. The dental deformity from habit of mouth breathing is all that I have heard.
Hi Clara that is good to know that you are practically excercising it on your patients and getting positive results. I m into subject and doing some research for related projects. May i reach you for detail understanding on how it is working with your patients? Thanks.
I love people that add value to my life and others - thank-you. :Mark.
WOW I glad I found this podcast. I have scar tissue on my lungs and I am on oxygen 24/7 now but I do believe I’m going to heal myself from this. I got the scar tissue from Covid back in December 2nd 2019. I have noticed that I do breathe with my mouth open. I’m working on breathing through my mouth now
I've recently had an extreme eczema flare. After the inflammation has subsided I noticed that some of the wounds had problems healing. I was a chronic mouth breather and once I started working on nasal breathing I really noticed how fast my wound healed. Quite amazing.
loved the quote “never work out harder than you can breathe correctly” 1:33:00 something I have been intuitively doing in the twilight of my athletic career, and I’m pretty sure this is what has allowed me to perform at such a high level so late in life...44 years old and getting more out my work outs than ever!
Thanks Jay - appreciate you sharing your experience.
What did you do to breathe correctly ?
So late in life at 44? Lucky you to be😊 so young, I just turned 80
I began using the tape on my mouth as soon as I read about it. In the past I would fall asleep without an issue but would wake to use the bathroom, and as James noted, have to drink more water after waking at that time....usually 2:30 to 3:30. I would crawl back to bed feeling exhausted and then lay awake for 2 to 3 hours! This happened for at least 15 yrs anywhere from 3 to 5 nights out of the week. My cortisol levels were way too high at night and too low during the day....opposite to what they should have been. I had bought myself a wedge pillow to elevate my upper body to help with snoring and hoping it would help with my sleep too, but until I began using the tape my sleep had remained somewhat the same. I now tell as many people as I can about how my sleep has turned around. I still will have to use the bathroom most nights but remarkably I fall right back to sleep without the need to drink any more water. This has been such a blessing at the age of 55 where many women experience this problem. I now feel like my cortisol level has regulated, I feel better with all that deep sleep, I wake and remember having dreams and feel functional during the day!!! :) The one thing I want to note is that I tried the cloth tape James had suggested and found it to be too irritating to my sensitive skin and was able to find the cloth tape for sensitive skin, usually used for elderly or babies. I cut about a 3 inch piece and it covers the skin on top of my mouth to down below my lower lip....so a bit more then James uses, but you still have the ability out of the corners of the mouth for air....I am still able to talk a little or cough without a problem. Lots to say here, but I can not stress enough how incredible this has been. As a yoga instructor I have been breathing deeper, longer, slower for many years, but after reading his book I am able to take in even more so all the incredible benefits he has presented. Thank you so much James your research and writing this book has changed my life and health!! _()_
This reminds me of my friend. She experiences panic attack (anxiety) from time to time. The only way to alleviate her attack aside from taking meds is breathing through a paper bag. I saw it once and I'm surprised about how it works for her. She really calms down after a few minutes. I guess it's relevant to what James Nestor is talking about.
I think in paper bag breath more CO2 is available and inhaled which creates all impact on relaxation. That is amazing...😊
Health is such a holistic endeavor. People will focus a lot on working out like Cross Fit and eat paleo/keto/vegan but forget other important habits that help drive their health goals such as breathing, sleeping, and meditating.
Absolutely Anti. Thanks for sharing!

To this day I have not heard a health organization talk about the importance of this in strengthening immunity.
I've watched a few interviews with James I really love the guy. he seems so friendly and so nice and sincere, you can feel it radiating off him as a genuine compassionate human being and he doesn't seem proud or self entitled at all he s sensible and humble. Seriously like and admire this guy
I want to say it's early days and I'm part way through his book but to second about how nasal breathing helps athletic performance the outcome is PHENOMENAL.
Like Wtf I'm not even tired !??? it's insane absolutely unbelievable
I've tried it walking steadily up hills and running for long distances or going on few mile walks and when i nasal breath it's almost like no effort was required whatsoever so I get there and I'm ready to go. no panting no sweating no just..fine. I believe it's also helping with my flexibility in stretching and yoga too
I guess it must really open up your cells to get oxygenated almost instantaneously.
Also it definatley makes me warmer I can feel my body retaining warmth or actually heating up slightly so for sure he's onto something.
Transformative? Definatley
you'll be capable of a lot lot more than you think if you try breathing correctly !
About 2 years ago I heard about nose breathing and thought I would try it to help with my running. 3months in the sports watch I was wearing did an update and included in it's features oxygen levels. It showed my past record as well. The chart showed my oxygen intake had increased from average to about average from the point that I had started to nose breath. I now do it all the time and it has definitely cleared my athsma as well 😊
ive used a ventolin inhaler for around 35 years, for most of that time i used it every day multiple times and often exceeded the recommended limit.... after listening to james nestor's book on audio, i started practicing some of the exercises, including modifiying some of carl stough's techniques to try to push trapped phlegm out of my lungs and in the 2 or 3 months that i have been doing this i have barely used the inhaler a handful of times... i hope to reach a point where i never use it again.
Hey, hope you don't mind me asking how you're feeling now? How did it progress now that it's been over a year. I am in a situation similar to what you described and would appreciate any help. Thanks :)
@@LalaHass progress continues well, but i have had some setbacks when i insisted on continuing to smoke weed/hash and oil... if the weed has been flushed properly and is high quality it makes a bit of difference but it still ends up messing up my breathing in the end eventually... the congestion increases gradually until i have to stop smoking and start over again trying to push the phlegm out..
for the past month or so, ive greatly reduced what i smoke... only using oil instead of flower because i find it a bit cleaner on my lungs... but i want to stop that completely as well and only ingest cannabis orally..
right now my lungs feel great, have used the ventolin maybe 3 times in the past 3 months... i have increased lung capacity by a lot and there is still more room to go, i still have some phlegm deep down inside my lungs... and pretty soon when i start doing handstands and other things upside down i will try to do the breathing exercises then as well, to use gravity to push the phlegm...
good luck with your journey.
basically all i do is sit and inhale as deeply as i can, then exhale as hard as i can while pushing the air out and bending forward so i can use my body structure to squeeze as much air as possible out of my lungs...
then instead of counting to ten over and over like carl's technique suggests, i just keep pushing and exhaling and pushing until i cant exhale anymore, then while straightening back upright i will inhale long and hard as deep as possible before repeating the whole process... interrupted only to discharge the secreted phlegm.
sounds gross, i know, but i do enjoy and love being able to breathe and so i make this sacrifice and practice these exercises when alone..

With an app on you tube for over a year and there’s no way I can assess how much it has helped me overall but I’m sure it has helped me in more ways than I realize will continue as long as I can breathe air . and then I sit in meditation just thanking the creator of the universe for love but I didn’t know existed🙏🏾❤️
Before this video, I had never thought about how often I take a breath. So when James Nestor mentioned it, I set my timer for one minute and counted my breaths. I did it a few times to make sure. Result: 6 to 7 breaths per minute. I guess that's pretty close to optimal. Also, I've always breathed through my nose - I didn't even know that there are people who don't. That's shocking to me.
I'm in my early 60s, no meds of any kind, and usually relaxed, positive and cheerful. I think I just found another piece to the puzzle. Thank you, James! :)
It's very true breathing can change everything. I have tried it personally n 2013 and I have seen wonderful results. It gives clarity of mind.
A hack I've done to nose breathe is to take a small sip of water and then hold in mouth for a long time; like while I take a shower. Gets my body used to breathing thru nose.
And OMG on the chewing! I've always been quite thin due to health issues, but my parents would ridicule me if they saw one cheek full and the other not. I literally would get fist smacked by my father for not eating on both sides of my mouth at same time. Dental issues were part of my health problems and often eating on one side, hurt too much. But eating next to a child abuser wasn't comfortable either.
Great interview!
I have been doing Anulom Vilom (Yoga breathing) for about 20 to 30 min a day for last 11 months, first change I observed is, when I couldn't sleep for whole night because of coffee consumption, I didn't feel sleeplessness like before, it was not really bad, there is some change so far, I will keep doing it.
I had never related my bad breathing habits with my anxiety and cold hands and foot. Even with my asthmatic episodes in early childhood and puberty.
I´m in a huge process of change and this interview has been very helpful. Thank you so much!
Yes breathing is a game changer and you only need few sessions to get started❤️
Hey how long u practice to see the change, and how many minute u do per day

Have also been mouth taping at night for a decade now and I will not go without anymore.

After learning yogic breathing, I’ve found Wim Hof’s breathing exercises to be the most beneficial.
Yes!!! I've noticed...doing email..scrolling voice-mail...scrolling my cellphone..etc....that I'm holding my breath!!!! No wonder I'm having soooo much anxiety and panic attacks!!! This is awesome information!!! Thank you!!! I'll be doing this slower breathing techniques and I just ordered he book...Breathe...Thank you!!!! Im sharing this with all my friends...friends who, like myself...have been on medication for this anxiety...who've been using chamomile tea...using Ashwagandha liquid drops...trying to get through our day....especially during this pandemic period. Massive thank you!!!! Im in Dripping springs, TX

Wonderful conversation! I recently got a fitbit and it measures many things one of which is breaths per min. My average is 11 bpm. Now that I know you can get down to 6 I will be even more mindful about my breaths. I started doing yoga nearly 2 decades ago and have shifted slow nose breathing from that and my resting heart rate is 54 average. One of the things I've learned over the years is that balance is key to everything I look at in life.
Thank you very much This has been the most educational and magic information of life regarding our heath. I Am looking foreward to get hold of your book.
This fits perfectly with HeartMath institute research. This is about optimal health! I teach the breathing practice in my therapy practice 😌
Wow! I'm been ill for over 50 years. Imma try this!
Breath is the most impactful book, I've read in years. Within days my anxiety was lowered. I daily learn how to use breathing to help with depression, ADD etc. I want to keep lowering anti depression dose and believe this will be a big factor. Ty
I have ADD too. Did breathing help lower it and how was the experience?
I have tried the slow breath and it has a good efect , even during training. You feel less tired and more relaxed.

Thank you for that quote Ian. I thought: He also said sickness starts in the astral body, in the region of feelings, desires and wishes, antipathy and sympathy. But then - these are of the soul, the rhythmic system of the Heart and the Lungs, the middle region.
Do you know whether he suggested some deep-breathing excercise?
A Dr of Chiropractic, Osteopathic and Naprapathy said I was NOT to do Dr A Weil's calming/ sleep excercise of inbreath with 4 counts, holding breath for 7 and outbreath for 8 counts. She said never to stop breathing, but without discussion. My Feldenkrais pedagogue also dissuaded from holding one's breath. It seemed to work well. I don't know. Do you?
@@henryunrau4136 you are not Fanny saying non sense like that. Your Christ couldn’t save their brain. How come would he save their soul?
Gabrielle, Jesus wants everyone to know that He created them / us and therefore, yes, he can and does save our brain, breath and everything else we are , have and know exists. He is the Son of God and designed the human body to breathe, the blood to flow and us to live. He, not I, invites everyone to believe in Him and learn all that He has to offer.
So glad I did baby led weaning on my baby! He is the ultimate chewer and best eater! I believe in all the importance of this whole heartedly. Wish we all were taught to breath and eat this way..
Yes! also baby led weaning leads to less fussy eaters also the same muscles are needed for speech!
I often times get angry about the mainstream media, and it's narratives/biases.
It's clear money is the bottom line. Everyone needs a pill or some quick fix when they are sick. Instead of fixing the root issue.
This is why I appreciate channels like this one right here! This is backed with tons of evidence, yet the public media will not cover it.
Thanks for doing what you doing.
This is so interesting! I have mild sleep apnea and have been clenching during my sleep for years. I connected the dots to nervous system issues a couple of years ago and now tape at night and consciously try to breathe through my nose. I also use the Keiferfreund app which is great and things are slowly improving. No apnea breathless wake ups for quite some time! My husband however has decided to go the CPAP route as his snoring was so unbearable for me I had to vacate the bedroom! Last year he was diagnosed with hypertension, Hashimotos, suddenly noticed that he eyesight was deteriorating after years of being glasses free, lost his hearing and now using a CPAP machine! In the space of 12 months due to poor sleep he now takes 2 lots of medication and wears hearing aids and has to use glasses. I've noticed he breathes really quickly and joined more dots listening to this podcast because he also eats his food really quickly with minimal chewing. Will definitely be getting James' book! Another great podcast Dr C. 🙏🏽

I discourage myself from mouth breathing during sleep(on my side) by positioning my arm(upper) under my chin which helps me keep my mouth closed & encourages nasal breathing. It doesn't always work but my success rate exceeds failure.
I hope someone finds this technique useful.
I do that too plus a bit of tape. 😀

Great advice, I will keep those 3 in mind 🙏
Namaste, I am grateful that the ancient wisdom of India and Hinduism ( yoga and meditation) is being appreciated and adapted all over the world now...
A few years ago I attended a pranayama yoga class and my breathing was definitely better. I hadn't realised that I had a problem. Its been 5 years since I moved and haven't found another class. Am still looking.
the ancient wisdom of India and Hinduism like worshipping penises,snakes,rats, dirty cows and other reptiles. come to the real salvation, come to christ.
Jesus never taught anyone to denigrate other cultures and religions. So are you a true follower of Christ or another nut trying to increase the herd? :) No wonder people are leaving organized religions in droves and embracing the more open eastern wisdom like yoga and meditation. Thank you. Namaste :)
thank goodness ....and its only taken 3000 years !

Anyone else’s mouth taped right now watching this in bed?? 😂
This breathing through the nose works. Huge improvements after only 2 days. 💪
Update (the morning after) I managed to keep my mouth taped until 5am until I finally took it off to finish my sleep as I still was waking up breath hungry. What’s interesting though is that I have probably lost at least 2 hours of sleep the last two nights (which isn’t too far from my normal shit sleeps) due to this endeavour I am still coming into the day less tired and no usual desire to have a nap in the afternoon. Have had some moments where my nostrils were so clean and easy to breathe through it was truly awesome. Hard to describe to someone who hasn’t had issues with sinuses their whole life. Being able to easily and clearly breathe through the sinuses all the time would absolutely put a persons potential into another gear.
For way too long I did not believe there could be any difference between something as simple as breathing through the mouth or through the nose. Definitely eating crow.
I just started to watch this.
It sounds a lot like the Buteyko method that has been around for years.
Tape at night have been great for my children who slept badly at night before Buteyko method was applied at home and tape at night.
This sounds tasteless to me. What you do to yourself bothers me. Did this man get you to believe this must be done? I don’t want to be brainwashed into doing crazy things. Too late. I nose breathe a lot, but I have symptoms of sleep apnea. This guy gives me the willies.
What is he going to do if a prowler was in his bedroom and he can’t call for help? My family doesn’t like stuff like this. Does he expect for himself to get pleasure out of this. He could be messing with your mind. He could be lying. I am afraid of choking. Why as even a nose breather, I wake up tired?
He’s interesting when he talks about early man. He would have been a good therapist
@@laurieberry4814 Sorry. The level of help you need is beyond the scope of a RUclips comment section. 🤔
@@laurieberry4814 if a prowler is in your house you will be able to yell. Your fears are obviously getting the best of you.
Thank you for this info! I've been a shallow breather and have caught myself holding my breath numerous times when in stressful situations. Today I will start working to break these bad habits which have undoubtedly contributed to or may even be the root cause of my CFS! Can't wait to reap the benefits of this knowledge...thank you again for sharing!

Great Interview ! Breathing is our most important bodily function that is subject to our direct control. It is also the most neglected, underestimated, and abused. Our body rids itself of more waste products during respiration than it does by sweating, urinating, and defecating combined. I have some videos on kundalini breath based on pranayama. Prana means breath, wind, life, vitality, energy, or strength. Ayama means length, expansion, stretching, or restraint.
Enormously helpful advice from Dr. Chatterjee of simple changes to achieve mind and body health.... even as simple as proper breathing. Exceptional teaching toolbox in every book offering and on every podcast! Thank you for reaching so many people to enjoy a lifetime of health!
Thanks Cathie for such kind words. Glad you enjoy the show!
integrating all these medical specialties will bring a new wave of life saving information for us n our patients this is truly mindblowing
Wow full circle I worked with NIAC at USC when I was getting my B.S. Premed Bio Sci degree and worked with Dr. Logan a physicist who ran that department and we worked with the Mayor's Office in L.A. and to hear you mention at Stanford makes me feel like this is full circle because I talk about the breath and how to do it properly in almost every video I do on Love&MoneySecretsTV. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee this is a marvelous episode. It would be great for you to do a follow up video sharing on around Nov 22nd what have you experienced since you started taping your mouth. I might try this just to see if there's a difference. I might be unaware of mouth breathing while asleep. I don't have snoring, respiratory problems but after being hit by an OCTA Bus while bike riding my sleep cycle has totally been thrown off after suffering a TBI, spinal injury and leg injury. Dr. Masaru Emoto did experiments about water and the influence of words spoken, thought and written and how it alters water at the molecular level to change the structure. If Love, Joy or high vining positive energy the frozen water crystals were beautiful geometric snowflake like symmetry. When angry mean hateful words like swastika and hate there was no organized crystals just a jumbled mess. Yes saying appreciation or words of gratitude DOES make a difference on how we digest food.
I breath with my mouth taped at night and I always breath from my abdomen . it has changed my life . no more panic attacks or depression and I'm so calm and relaxed sleep Excellency feel gr8 now. Thank you🐢

Thank you 🙏 I have been in recovery for the past 12 yrs and I've got to say that when I took someone's advise and starting Running, it was a game changer! and I've tried to pass this message on to other's but it seems to slip by unnoticed. Which led me to believe that there was something there that science & medicine hasn't picked up on yet!
I’ve been mouth taping at night for a few years now. Allergies are gone.
But a week ago my whole body became inflamed (not yet sure of the cause) at level 7-8 pain. Advil doesn’t touch it and yoga helps only a little. Desperate I remembered breathwork.
Wim Hof is too intense for me but Nestor’s 4/4/8/2 is truly helping along with cold showers. Hopefully I’ll figure out what’s triggering my body but in the meantime I’m truly grateful I get relief with these practices.

AMAZING THANKS THIS IS THE TRUE LINK OF LIFE KEEP BREATHING AND LEARNING HOW TO LIVE AT YOUR FULL POTENTIAL. I LOVE AND APPRECIATE THIS BOOK WE NEED THIS STUDY THANKS WITH ALL MY CORRECT BREATH FOR THIS.. BE BLESSED ..
Wowzers! MInd blown! Love the fact that we are re-discovering ancient rituals and health practices. The link with breastfeeding and jaw muscle once explained seems obvious! Have sent this link to some friends who snore and some are anxious too. Will be trying some breathing exercises to relax me before I sleep. Thank you to both of you! So glad I found this podcast.
Dr Rangan thank you for this excellent interview with James Nestor. I am a tough audience, most interviewers annoy me. But your questions were great, your conversation was interesting and added to the overall value of the show. I am writing this at the 33:23 mark and maybe you will get to it, but what I have missed hearing about in these interviews is should we be concerned with lung capacity? I am a 63-yr-old asthmatic and, on a good day, my peak flow monitor will hit 350.
So, so glad you demonstrated the sleep tape advice. Before that I had literally just reached for the gaffa tape and scissors! Oh dear! I think this video should be put into schools. I’ve been breathing incorrectly my whole life. Thank you for doing this fundamentally important podcast.
I started slowing down my breathing halfway through the presentation and I checked my bp and it was lower than this morning. I have hbp in the morning probably from being a drooling mouth breather at night while sleeping.
I haven’t been able to figure it out because I’m whole plant food based person.
Thank you guys!
Love the San Fran Bay Area I’m from there too.
Thanks for sharing Maria!
Maria - make sure you are getting the right amount of protein for your diet. I was vegan for 5 yrs, but did not realize the importance of high quality protein, especially as we age. Ended up losing muscle tissue, even though I am active and have always exercised. Also was low energy and, per my Son, I was 'skinny fat' i.e., thin but definitely losing muscle structure. I don't know your age, but look at some older folks around you - so many are suffering from sarcopenia (loss of muscle fiber) and don't realize it. They can look thin and appear healthy, in that they are not overweight, but their thin look comes from loss of muscle. Look at the backsides of some elderly folks who are not overweight...perfectly flat! That does not have to be! And it takes a Functional Doctor to point that out and help correct it through diet and lifestyle. Many allopathic M.D's 'treat' symptoms by prescribing pharmeuticals, and tend to ignore diet and healy lifestyle changes for their patients.. Our U.S. recommended protein RDA is so much lower than what we really need as we age. People lose weight on a plant based diet and assume that because they are the 'ideal weight' they are healthy - but beware, that weight loss is mostly muscle mass. Younger people can 'get away' with ignoring their protein needs because their hormones take care of muscle growth and naturally maintaining muscle mass. But we don't have the advantage of these hormones as we age. Just wanted you to be aware, because I was unaware of this for so long, myself. If you want to learn more about protein needs, you can look for Dr. Gabrielle Lyon interviews on YT. She is a board certified Osteopathic doctor- has a PhD in (well I think it's geriatric nutrition, but may be termed differently). And by 'geriatic'- this term (in a 'muscle centric' diet context) applies to the over 40 age group and their increased protein needs if they want to avoid sarcopenia as they age. Dr. Lyon's NYC practice is based on 'muscle centric' medicine. She does believe in the importance of animal protein to maintain muscle mass, but she does not lecture against 'plant based, either. She does have vegan, vegetarian, and plant based diet patients in her practice and she respects that lifestyle and way of eating,, and helps them with food choices to ensure they are meeting their protein needs. She also has a website where one can sign up for her health newsletters, read her blog, etc. I follow her on Instagram, too. Sorry for the length, but you said something about your health and your plant based diet, and I felt that sharing this knowledge with you might help .
Oops, did not mean to reply to my reply.

I read the book and was inspired. And have been convincing my grandchildren who are heavy mouth breathers due to chronic sinus issues to breathe through their noses as much as possible. Now I think I will suggest taping the mouth. I am passing the book on, because I think it is so important.
You should look Mike Mew up on RUclips part of the problem with mouth breathers is the shape of the face.

Yoga teacher taught me to breathe in through my nose. It stuck with me. She said to breath out of my mouth if I want to cool down.
This is such a fantastic interview with my new hero of breath James Nestor.James's book is hands down the most comprehensive and profound work on breathing that I have come across,period.Until now Patrick McKeown's Oxygen Advantage had held that position for about 3 years.All I will say is that Breath is a must have book for anyone who cares even the slightest bit about their health.Rangan,that you so much for bringing this guy to your audience and for being able to extract so much info in the less than two hour process.
Very useful life saving information. Truly speaking, I really don't recall whether I use my nose or mouth to breath. Recently, because of Corona and the death of my husband due to sleep apnea made me conscious about the oxygen level and the importance of breathing (other than its benefit for stress relief) but not quite sure how to go about it. This video helps a lot, hope it will work at the age of 63. Thank you so much.
I hope this has gone well for you.
As an asthmatic i wil try this asap really enjoyed watching this guys God Bless
Critically think it through this makes so much sense

When we contemplate whether we can assist in bone remodeling remember Wolf's Law, "bone is living tissue and responds to stress put upon it." We see this with hunching in old age, barrel chest with emphysema. Why would it not be totally logical to also happen on health/wellness pathways as well as disease pathways?
A great interview, thank you both. The art of breathing is not new to me, having been introduced to the Masdasnan teachings on this, reading their literature and attending their workshops. The art of breathing being considered and described as life itself. You can take this knowledge way back to the teachings in the Veden scriptures and the Egyptians. I have been practicing nose breathing consciously for about 20 years now. It is a lovely feeling when you can breath Freely and correctly. Everything l have heard here really resounds with me. All things have to be relearnt when forgotten, and l feel sure bringing this knowledge back into every new generation is Vital, it should be an important part of general education in schools. This is especially important in the present world situation with the big 'C' and the now most mandatory wearing of masks, especially by children as young as 6yrs here in Germany, Austria usw. Europe. Which l consider to be absolutely beyond excusable and stemming from complete ignorence of what Breath / Odem, and right breathing means. Sorry this is so long, but as we say here in Germany "Sie hat ein Lange Atmen!" 😉😉🙏😊
I agree with your topic of today, it's nice to know breathing through your nose and chewing your food can benefit your health,, but I think it will be difficult for me because I was brought up timing my food when eating, so I eat very fast and don't chew for over 50yrs. I will put myself to the test after watching this podcast. Thanks Dr Rangan
I used to always have at least one or two nostrils blocked. Always. I was also snoring. About 18 months ago I started taping my mouth - hostage style (still do). Anyway, initially I couldn't breathe so I ended up getting a nasal spray to help me along. I only did one nostril at a time and after a few days I could give the nasal spray away. After that I did not need it. As I sit here typing, both nostrils are good. Left one is 100%, the right one about 80% open. I notice that throughout the day the nostrils switch in terms of their openness. But my point is, before taping my mouth at night, it would be roughly 40% one nostril, and 0% the other.
Thanks, so much added value listening to this discussion. Blessings to both .
Thank you, Dr. Chatterjee. Excellent interview. You are a great interviewer. Great interaction and discussion.
There is more deeper literature on breathing, which I have been tracking for while. It's true, it requires critical observation and experimentation. As a scientist, I can tell you this there is no clear cut study on breathing pattern (and sub-patterns), etc. It requires some sort of device backed by AI to demonstrate the power of breathing. Just remember, dogs olfactory power of detecting human diseases are closely related to breathing. Also, important is not changing breathing, but constantly consciously observe it, will be greatly useful.
This is great stuff, I accidentally found that breathing through the nose before sleeping inproved my resistance to throat infections. I tried to do this initially with one side of my nose
completely blocked, so I tried to wash my nasal and sinus with saline solution. Initially I was breathing thro one side of my nose even after a sinus wash. I kept this process going for months, and now I can breath thro both sides of my nose. Even when I get hayfever. Yes I used to run and breath thro my mouth, and tes I do Yoga, and this has enhanced my youa practises.
From my experience “ holding” the breath is the major component in repressing trauma. This “ holding” is still taking place in the body. Time frozen bits of “breath holding.Vipassana meditation works by just witnessing the breath, allowing it to relax and do its own thing. After a while the breath slows down and relaxes to its natural rhythm. Then you scan and just observe sensations of the body. This spreads the natural breath to the parts that are still holding. These eventually relax and release the trauma. So rather than change the breath you just allow it to be.
Great interview. I so appreciate the good work James offers us Globally

As long as we’re breathing, we practice our practice. Being with our breath, we are dealing with the source of all life as we know it.
Truth all the important things in the world all the wealth and people are only just noticing that breathing is really important even though without it life is pretty dam short and frightening.
I've been practicing Wim Hof method of breathing excercises for over a month. The difference is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast and will begin mouth taping (properly) tonght. My wife was more than happy to throw a couple of rolls of tape at me! ; )
My son turned me on to Wim Hof.
Wim Hof is only 61 but he looks 70. He also looks like he is a hard drinker. I'm not saying this stuff is not valid, just have a hard time with so called health gurus that look horrible. He looks like a homeless man. I don't mean to be cruel, but presentation is a big part of selling "health".
@@kurtheitman552 : And the style also affects one's soul. His rough talk and what I don't perceive as a balanced soul and emotions /feelings and maybe biochemistry makes him not appeal to me, even though his achievements are remarkable and admirable. Getting stressed by the person helping, puts a new stress on the Spleen etc, and counteracts the healing responses. In me at least. He could have some esthetic woman do his hair on film too. I wonder if he comes better off in German. I'll check it out. Good Advent.
@@kurtheitman552 and Claudia Bothner, getting hung up on appearances and status is symptomatic of attachment, and leads to suffering. It’s the method that counts and what you learn about yourself in the process. That’s why monks and nuns generally shave their heads and wear robes. If you read Wim Hoffa’s book you might learn what really motivates him, and why getting a facial and manicure are really not important.
I can’t stand fake ‘teachers’ who are in it for the money, wear expensive labels, makeup and false nails... it shows what level of spiritual development they’re at.
Care to share your results with mouth taping? Thanks
Fantastic! I've casually observed (for years) that deep breathing lowers stress, and relieves heart palpitations that I have from time to time. I'm happy to learn more details about this and intend to learn the exercises. I've heard this type of breathing strengthens the lungs to cope better with Covd-19 too. Thank you gentlemen!
@Dr Rangan Chatterjee Cheers! I am a first-time listener, and I must state that I truly enjoyed the fluid exchange of ideas. I appreciate what you do.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the feedback
Thanks 🙏 for the insightful discussion that can basically help save people suffering from Asthma and associated diseases. For those who are having a very strong mindset to get off the suffering , it’s easy to do it.
I found inner peace in the dentist chair.
Every visit to my previous dentist would result in me hyperventilating and needing nitrous…but I went to a new dentist, twice, who told me to slow my breathing…obviously, through the nose. I did on the third visit and felt such calm…but wasn’t sure how to attain that feeling again, thinking it came from thought control alone.
It’s only since learning from Rangan, Patrick McKeown and James Nestor that I can attain that wonderful sense of controlled calm all the time.
Many thanks to you all for taking the time to educate us. Many, many thanks 😊
This is such a gift. Thanks a million for posting and to Nestor and the interviewer
Great Podcast, have bought the ebook. I have taught Breath Mastery for over 25 years, and this is such a breath of fresh air ( excuse the pun ). So right in saying the Big Picture is the way to go. There are so many techniques, I have personally taught over the years some 30 different techniques and they ALL work. The Big Picture is the key. The fine detail is incidental to the persons Intent to Breath, the Intent to Breath more rhythmically and slowly. It is such an important podcast, and to read this book. James is so centred with his comments, all backed up with science. Science satisfies the Western World much more than the East. In the East it is “The Science Of The Obvious”, in the West It is “The Science Of Facts”. Whatever works and enthuses the person is the most important thing. .. By the Science Of The Obvious! I am addressing what science and society calls Subjective. Yet we see the Apple Fall, then we do a rather stupid thing and try to prove it with Newtonian Physics or Quantum Physics.
The Point! .. we take the LONG WAY ROUND through intellect / rationalism & Logic to prove something that we already no is TRUTHFUL. through pure Awareness. If this was not the case .. Why do we use the word Placebo in Medicine? .. because we must think at some level that extraordinary healing is going on that we cannot explain, therefore we justify rational science with the word Placebo. Once again a great debate by both of you, wonderful podcast

PLEASE do a study on depression as I have noticed when I'm depressed I hardly breath at all which makes me wonder now if breathing shallow like that is making my depression even worse! I will definitely pay attention to my breath next time I'm depressed. Thank u so much as this makes sense & I will practice this daily from now on 💕💕
Sansi Aray sorry you are going through depression too. These are challenging times. I myself have found a high potency probiotic to help my mood a great deal. I’ve tried several and my favorite is the Garden of Life one with the 90 Billion CFU. So many of our neurotransmitters like serotonin are actually manufactured in the gut and good bacteria are instrumental in that process. Our modern diets with all this glyphosate and other pesticides have really taken a toll on the gut microbiome. Anyway, it’s worth looking into if you have time. I’ve also found the Heartfulness Meditation to be helpful as well. They have a RUclips channel and I highly recommend their cleaning meditation. Best of luck to you 💛
@@ashleylala4293 thank u so much for the info! I just wrote them down & will definitely look into both as my 3 daughters & I all have celiac disease which completely destroys the folies in the gut + a plethora of other problems as well. We listen to guided meditations as well so I will pass on this info to them too.
U are a true blessing thank u again 💕🙏

Great podcast! So much useful information. Started nasal breathing during the podcast and ordered sleep tape since I am a snorer. Will purchase his book!
This is such under rated information and I suppose an under rated topic for most of us. I’m glad to watch it again today as if for the first time. Seriously wow 🙏
Dr. Rangan, you are exactly rigfht!!! I studied Hyperbaric therapy (HBOT) and I saw the demonstration of the "Ventilators, which employees Nitric Oxide (NO) which opens the veins and arteries so more oxygen can enter the lungs. The key to getting more oxygen to the blood is deep breathing and holding it under increased pressure, for example, I help by pressing on the diaphragm and I only started doing this a few weeks ago. Only 20% of the breathable air is oxygen so I am going to continue doing this. . . Also, thank you doctor McKeown. There is another reason I do this therapy; ref. "The Looking Glass Project" at "Area 51 S4 . . .Dan Burris work with "J-Rod" who has to have higher pressure because they can only live in our environment for up to 20 minutes. The brain function our our visitors and the technology they come to earth in is awesome compared to bird winged craft we use for defense. Those who think human beings will because of evolution eventually grow to the level of predator because of robotics will eat crow.
It's hard to sleep with tape but I was not doing it your way. I started breathing 3 sec. In with the nose, out 5 sec. As soon as I read the title, I'm going to try consciously do this all day. Love this so much. Wim Hof, has been sharing breathing techniques in a highly unusual way. Appreciate all of you.👍😊🙏Namaste
I'm trying to get to 6 but 5 is what I'm naturally flowing with glad it doesn't matter.🥳
