Lol. It's like how my parents' generation were always being told to stand up straight by their parents. They were on to something. Then slouching and the whole hip hop style seemed to become cool, which seemed to just be a disservice to many. Same with the fact we are all looking down at our phones so much.
I recognized my son to be a mouth breather when he was 3. I pushed his pediatrician to take it seriously. He gave us a prescription for steroids. I didn't even get it filled. My son pronounced letter "M" like a "B". Hi Mom was Hi Bob. He could not breath through his nose. He sounded like a 2 ton walrus snoring. I grew impatient with the doc and went directly to an ENT doc. Insurance didn't approve but that's another story. Doc heard him speak and promply said he needs his adenoids out. Fast forward in the surgical waiting room one by one the docs would inform waiting parents that their kid was OK and the kid had 40%, 50%, 30% blockage. My guy came and said my son had 100% blockage. Looking back we determined that was why he couldn't breast feed. It wasn't for lack of trying but with his mouth engaged on the nipple he had no way to breath. All the "specialists" we saw for that, not one even considered that to be the cause. When we have told docs that they kind of roll their eyes and blow it off as nonsense.
Yea, well, they're constantly told by society that they're smart and know everything so they would have to be very self aware to recognise they're wrong.
It's hard not to do things like this when it's pretty much your whole life. The dude eats, sleeps, and breathes (hah!) Martial Arts, and he's not trying to make it into a pissing contest, he's trying to relate to James by drawing on his own past experiences.. The only past experience he has with breathing is, naturally, martial arts. Lol Have people seriously been locked in their homes for so long that they're forgetting how conversation is formed? Lmao
Damn right its kinda hard to keep it going but I think I was taught to breath by the nose when I was a kid in sports so I guess I am lucky. One thing is it would suck if you get sick with a runny or blocked nose
Highly recommend James Nestor's book "breathe". In the span of 4 days of practicing some of his breathing exercises I gradually went from BP of 126/89 to 122/82 to 117/80. It was higher before starting these exercises which was reason I began tracking with home device after my dentist commented during a routine cleaning. Going to continue and hope to see progress. Thank you James!
i mean…that’s an extremely normal range to experience throughout the day. There’s nothing at all about those numbers that suggest anything beyond typical variation that anyone could expect.
I’ve worked outdoors year round in northern Canada for 4 decades. Mouth breathing can freeze your lungs at -35. In summer mouth breathing will suck mosquitoes down your throat. When I boxed in the 80s my nose got messed up and I’ve struggled ever since. When I see people jogging with closed mouth I envy them.
No lie, I've had asthma most of my life and usually used my inhaler 5-10 times per day. Ever since nose-breathing and taping my mouth shut at night, I'm averaging 1-2 times per day and it's only my 3rd day.
i like how we can google shit in 5 seconds flat, but people just spew shit. I was confounded at first too, 5 words later i found out its perfectly safe to tape your mouth at night (also i like your lessons mike :)
Asthma inhalers are pretty weird. For me at least, even though I felt the need to take them everyday, one day I just decided to stop to see how it went. I felt fatigue for a few days and suddenly it stopped, I've never felt the need to use my inhalers anymore since then and I get so much less exhausted when exercising. Tho, I should attribute that to aging and working out more and what I experienced was just a coincidence
For the last few years I've been training myself to breathe using photosynthesis when exercising. Progress is slow since I never actually exercise, but the doctor says I am very close to achieving a vegetative state. That's gotta count for something.
I’ve been exclusively nose breathing for two weeks. NEVER GOING BACK. Wow. I’ve never been more calm and happy. I’m always ok now in the workplace. When others are angry, lost and frustrated, I’m sooooo comfy and just like, “it is what it is, let’s rock it out, I love you!” Lol Nose breathing is the easiest thing people can do to be and feel better. It’s honestly embarrassing that it’s not a fundamental in school. There’s a reason “mouth breather” is an insult.
@@fkncompton7124 Uhh, no. Most people breathe through both nostrils at once. Unless you have sinus problems, allergies or some other underlying condition.
Very likely you have low reaction allergies to wheat or dairy. If I eat a pizza, my sinuses will blow up. I know it happens, but will still have one on occasion. You could also be dealing with a fungal infection that is left over from having a cold. There are some essential oils you can steam with that will clear it out. Also consider using a netti pot on a semi regular basis.
That's normal, it's called the nasal cycle. The purpose is to keep the breathing side always moist. Breathing takes away moisture, so the blocked side is slowly regaining moisture until the switch occurs.
You probably are intolerant to something in your diet or live in a polluted area. Try reducing wheat/diary and red meat, they're the most common ones. There are some unusual ones, like for me it's onions, tomato and cucumber. Doesn't make me sick, just a bit worse than normal
This explains a lot. I’ve been breathing through my ears for years! I should have realized every time I passed out when wearing my headphones listening to this podcast.
I once saw a comedian on tv and his skit mentioned how kids would bully him as a child because he would breath through his mouth and would call him Darth Vader. He mentioned how he was an underachiever and didn't do well at school and had learning problems and low self esteem. Long story short, he found out as an adult that he had a deviated septum that was causing it and his parents had never questioned it. It was the reason he sucked at school an would get teased. He eventually got surgery to correct it and realized alot of his life's problems were because of something that went undiagnosed until he was an adult. Because if you can't get enough oxygen when you sleep, you'll be very tired the next day and won't be able to focus. His story made me very sad for him. I don't remember who that comedian was and I would really like to know so that I could thank him because when my daughter was a toddler I began to notice that she would snore, which didn't seem normal because she was not overweight. Then I began to notice that she was breathing through her mouth and I immediately thought about that comedian and how kids would tease him by calling him Vader. I didn't want that for my daughter. Ikept telling her mother that it was not normal but the pediatrician kept telling her that it was and that she would grow out of it. We would argue about it alot and she would always tell me that I was not a doctor and that I was being paranoid. One day I finally had enough and we had a huge argument and I told her that I was gonna take my daughter to a different doctor and mom agreed to take her for a second opinion. The specialist ended up discovering that my daughter had abnormally large tonsils that were making it hard for her to breathe through her nose. Fortunately, enlarged tonsils are easy to correct and we had them removed. Afterwards, I was shocked at how much my daughter's breathing had improved. The difference was almost immediate. Within less than a week there was no more snoring, no more mouth breathing, and I noticed my daughter had so much more energy. Again, I was floored. I suspect that the reason it took a few days for her to start breathing normal again was because she was already used to breathing from her mouth instead of her nose. My daughter's mom felt guilty afterward for doubting me. And to think that I could have been unaware like many parents if I hadn't see that comedy skit and paid attention. Sorry for the long post but doctors don't always have all the answers, so trust your parental instinct and always get more that one opinion.
glad you could notice it before it affected your daughter in a significant way, makes me wonder how much people have this and are unaware since it’s such an easy thing to just disregard
@@dingdong8629 thank you! Actually, today is my daughter's 11th birthday and she's still healthy and full of energy. Yes, I'm sure there are a lot of cases out there that people are not aware of. Our experience also helped us guide another family that we know whose daughter had a similar issue with the tonsils. We gave them alot of advice and recommendations. They were amazed at the difference in their daughter's breathing aftet they had the procedure.
Thank you for this. I’m 48 years old and have always been a mouth breather. I was never told this was bad for me. When I was a kid a few doctors told me (at regular dental or other checkups) that I had a deviated septum. I was like ok...they never said anything else other than that and then moved on. I didn’t even know what a septum was! Now I know. I have so many issues do to mouth breathing that I never knew: grinding teeth, clicking jaw, terrible sleep, v-shape teetht/jaw instead of u-shape. I’m so pissed off that my doctors never said anything like, “we need to fix that”. All they said was, to a ten year old kid who’s parents had no idea either, was “you have a deviated septum”. Nothing else. They just left it at that and moved on to other things. I’m contacting an ENT doctor this week to see about fixing my septum. I simply can’t get enough oxygen through my nose.
Chaz thanks. I was introduced to breathing strips about ten years ago (I wear them to bed). It was a night and day difference but over the years I think my nasal passages have decreased in size to the point where the strips aren’t nearly as effective as they used to be.
Omg this is me exactly! My nasal passages are always stuffy and narrow and blocked up, I have a narrow jaw, unsure about the deviated septum but I'm sure I've got that too. Need to book in with ENT asap I hope they can help me but any other suggestions to help would be appreciated! I cannot tape my mouth shut as I can't get much air through my nose and would pass out...
The worst thing about Joe being on Spotify (other than them deleting videos) is the lack of comments. I love the comments on his videos, you learn so much!
@@susannahb2723 I'm really thankful for anybody commenting on this. Every time, I remember to keep breathing through my nose for another minute and a half. Keep up the good work.
I am a mouth breather and so was my father. It is worse now that I am older. I am a smoker, my father was not. There's crap in the water in Ocean Beach, and on the beach itself. I grew up in Fla......and we don't even remember how we learned to swim as kids, we just did, and always underwater holding our breath. One day I'll never forget, found myself "breathing" underwater. Scared the heck out of me when I realized I was hearing a "breath".
What’s crazy is he and Dave grohl both look mouth breather-ish. What’s funny is I kept thinking of Dave this whole clip and didn’t know why for like 5 minutes and then it clicked that they are twins lol
@@MrBluesboy21 Dave Grohl if he got lost at a psychedelic festival for a week then had an awakening so cleaned up himself and combed his hair..... But was not about to cut the beard. His beard is where he derives his spiritual energy 😳 so basically Dave Grohl and Duncan trussell with James hetfield's voice
My dad always yelled at me when I'd breath through my mouth. He said it makes you look dumb standing around with your mouth hanging open. R.I.P Dad. You always had good advice.
🤣🤣🤣 Thats the #1 reason to breathe through your nose. Not health concerns, so you don't look like a dumbass standing there with your mouth open. I agree... i fully agree!
As a coach I've pushed all my clients for years to breath in the through the nose and put through the moth - it changes athletes notably almost instantly while training
have been a singer for 45 years and was taught that breathing is everything, so I practiced until breathing thru my nose became my norm. breathing thru the mouth drys the throat out bad.
How does it dry out your throat? I've never experienced that in my life, and I barely breathe through my nose at all. Sounds like an issue with your immune system.
I had a turbinate reduction and deviated septum correction just two days ago, on Friday! I'm so excited to be able to breathe again! I have a serious Polyneuropathy disorder from breaking by back in the air force, which I'm slowly recovering from, and I have about 40lbs of excess weight that I cannot shed. I'm praying that this will help!
Those are all serious issues. Incredible strength to keep weathering all of that. A lot of people would give up from all of that. I'm praying that it will help you, too. Even if it's just for your mental health to be able to breath again. Good luck on your weight loss, brother.
@TheRealPDizzle Thank you for your support! So, since I made that comment 8 months ago, my nose has healed. Unfortunately, I still get stuffed up all the time, but during the normal times, I can actually breathe! I always feel like I have hard boogers deep in my nose, despite my Navage (electric Neti Pot, best purchase ever for someone with sinus issues). I am always excusing myself to the bathroom to do some digging with a q-tip, which isn't ideal. Ugh, it is always an ongoing battle. Thanks for your support, brother!
@bobby i feel you. had migraines and stuffed nose for many years. For me it worked a nice exercise. i put my attention right under my nose, above the upper lip. I keep my attention there until i start to feel sensations. after 2-3 minutes my nose is open and clear. if i stay for 5-10 min i can breath for hours clear. it helps to touch with the finger above the upper lip to put my attention better there. after a few seconds i remove the finger. hope it helps. i know how frustrating might get sometimes not to smell or breath through nose. cheers.
Try mewing. Putting your tongue on the top of your mouth. It will expand your palate and consequently your airway and your allergies will significantly decrease and you can breath through your nose
When I lost my weight in 2018, a big part of that was cardio. I started forcing myself to keep my mouth closed when I worked out. What I thought was that the capacity of the lung was fixed and probably the amount of air via nose vs mouth was the same in terms of oxygen metabolism. For the first two months, it was very uncomfortable especially in the most intense parts of the run. Then, my body got conditioned and it just became natural because of the habit. Another reason I stopped mouthbreathing is because it looks downright stupid. In high school, the wrestling coach taught us to breathe through the mouth, exhale during the flexion and inhale during the reset, and that method is largely what they still do to this day, even in pro sports, but it is totally wrong for a lot of reasons. So even when I am at home or at work, if i am not talking, eating or breathing, I keep my mouth shut. Great video!
I'm curious about this as well. I think in sport, we need more oxygen volume and mouth can accomplish a lot of that. I play tennis and swimming and running track. In tennis, we slow exhale through out mouth slowly to loosen up tension upon contact. In swimming we have no choice but inhale through mouth and exhale through noses and mouth. Of course, with all sport breathe through diaphragm is crucial as well as breathing rhythm to avoid hyperventilation and abdominal pain.
As a mouth breather I can attest to feeling exhausted with lots of anxiety attacks. I did some nose only breathing therapy and feel stronger and healthier than ever. Anxiety vanished as well.
It is known that babies and children that mouth breath grow up with lower IQ's. Have you ever looked at someone and you can tell they have a lack of intelligence just by how they look? That is because they have been breathing through their mouths all their life and as well as actually limiting their brain development it simultaneously changed what they were going to look like. This means a lot of these people have the same traits in their facial structures. The native Americans knew this and culturally had a thing where if they had babies that slept with their mouths open, they would pinch them shut to force nose breathing. They mention oxygen a lot in the video but as far as I can remember from a few yearsback when I was researching this topic myself, the intelligence thing has a lot to do with CO2. The brain actually does use CO2 for growth and development if I remember correctly, but this wouldn't be too hard to research yourself. So maybe it's a really good insult? I myself have worked with some stupid people whom I have asked if they breathe only through their mouths - particularly whilst sleeping - and they always say yes. Sounds nasty but I explain why I asked after and hopefully give them some knowledge and tools to help them going forward. It is possible to start nose breathing later in life and still change the facial structure (not sure on the IQ). Just so you know the reason I looked up all of this, is that I came across the thing about native Americans pinching shut their babies mouths when my partner was pregnant. I have done this to him on the rare occasions, early on, when he slept with his mouth open. He is a toddler now. Quite clever but I can not prove he would be less so if allowed to breathe through his mouth. But if there is a small chance it helps, it is well worth the 10 seconds it takes to correct. Sorry if you didn't want this full length response to just a short comedic comment.
“ we are treating all these separate problems and we are not looking at the core issues” YES I’ve been preaching this. It has always shocked me how doctors aren’t educated about oral function. Providers usually “put bandaids” on issues by prescribing medications or saying everything is normal instead of finding the root cause and fixing it. For example if a baby isn’t physically able to breastfeed despite good maternal anatomy and a lactation consultant sees a tongue tie restricting necessary movement it often gets brushed off by the MD. Like my daughter they ignored all her symptoms of oral dysfunction and brushed it off as normal (suck blisters on lips, horrible gas pain, damaging me, lots of spit up with every feed etc). But it was “fine” because she was growing well. Well what about long term affects of mouth breathing due to low tongue posture?! We know it detrimental to our body ( from frequent cavities to increased blood pressure to dementia/Alzheimers). Providers need to start being taught s/s of oral dysfunction and all dentist and ENT need to know how to do a functional oral assessment. I believe so many peoples life’s would be changed for the better and so many disorders/diseases may be prevented.
When I was young I was hit in the nose with a baseball deviating my septum. It was so bad that I couldn't breathe out my nostrils but barely on one side. I already had allergies but they became 10 times worse. I had an operation at 14 to fix my deviated septum and open up that nostril which barely works. I got this other doctor who started me doing these breathing exercises which consisted on breathing in and out of my nose the best that I could. 20 times 3 times a day. Promise to me that if I simply just tried 3 times a day that in two weeks I will definitely see an improvement. So in the beginning I maybe was doing it one time a day. Then I went and saw him and he asked if I was doing it three times a day. I told him yes but still it wasn't working. He basically told me that he didn't believe me that he guarantees success if I really committed to doing it 20 times 3 times a day. So I admitted I was lying and then started doing it three times a day. One night I realized I got some really good sleep. That morning I woke up and noticed that I was breathing through my nose very clearly. I counted the days since I started doing it three times a day. And realized it had been 15 days. I was so surprised. Not only could I breathe through my nose. But usually I had allergies so bad especially in the summer that I had to carry a handkerchief with me all day and was constantly blowing my nose. But that day I didn't blow my nose not one time. I had allergies so bad that I had to get shots 2 times a week. I continued to get my breathing exercises and eventually I have no problem with allergies. Also that was right when I started smoking pot heavily. I used to tell people it was the marijuana that cured my bad allergies but the truth was it was really those breathing exercises through my nostrils. So I totally believe in what this guy is saying
There's a really good book called "the oxygen advantage" by Patrick McKeown that discusses nasal breathing and how to unblock your nose, really good book I would recommend it to anyone
@@greenygg3498 that's awesome, I got the book about 5 months ago and if has been helping me maintain my endurance while i have been recovery from surgery and it's been so helpful
The book changed my life, I had a constant chest infection for months no matter how much antibiotics I had the infection was still there untill I started nose breathing and mouth taping at night I've never had a chest infection ever since and I've been doing it for 2 years
nose breather since i was a kid, i cant stand having my throat dry out so i slept with my mouth closed. During the day i could care less about talking to people especially during school and class so i kept my mouth shut and would breathe through my nose. During tennis my coach taught me to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth when doing exercise as well as to manage how much air i should take in with regard to what i was doing (breathe proportionally). point being if you suddenly need to do something that is demanding on the body at that specific moment in time always start with a deep breathe before you begin.
My man if ur run is intense there is no god damn way u can take enough air through nose.while sprinting u should breath through your mouth forcefully,u will be amazed of the speed u can gain....
I started making myself breath through my nose and it changed my life. Before I made the change I started getting really bad dry mouth after sleeping, tired all the time, post nasal drip constantly, anxiety , and insomnia. Life is so much better.
I give my son ( 10 years old in March) a strip of 3M Micropore tape to put over his mouth when he sleeps... otherwise he breaths through his mouth. CONSTANTLY have to remind him to close his mouth/ breath through nose, whilst awake. Tell this to most Doctors/Dentists and they look at you like you are crazy.
Same symptoms here, exactly the same, I am so tired of this, what was your solution, just constantly trying breathing through the nose? I am thinking of an operation to fix my nose and septum
@@goja2101993 I ended up having a large poll-up on my vocal cord. I had to have it removed, it was blocking half my airway. Those nose breathing helped for a while but it quit working after a few weeks.
Start practising buteyko breathing. Later on you can move on to taping your mouth shut for few hours while meditating. And the ultimate challenge is taping your mouth shut while sleeping. If you follow along and progress, you will find someone else in the mirror.
I’ve come across the benefits of nose breathing a while ago and looked into mewing. I used to believe that I just had a deviated septum but have been told that my mandibles are both underdeveloped so there is a reason why I can’t breathe through my nose half the time and the deviated septum is a byproduct of this. *Edit* also, whilst Dr Mew claims that correct tongue posture will help you expand your palette, he is only half right. It works if your upper mandible is fairly well developed, but if it isn’t you will struggle to breathe properly whilst maintaining proper tongue posture.
I remember I said earlier in this year, “at this point idk if I’m even breathing correctly” in life as a joke. Well turns out I’m not in fact breathing correctly lmao.
It seems like a joke but we've been pooping incorrectly, sitting incorrectly, eating incorrectly, sleeping incorrectly and now we've been breathing incorrectly 😅
@@whyarewestillhere8562 i think there's no ugly human, but there's really people who's unattractive to most people that can't be fixed with traditional solution, it needs to be a plastic surgery.
As someone who has never been able to breathe through my nose my entire life this video annoys the flipping shit out of me. Not "triggered" or anything, I'm just annoyed that I can't breathe through my nose.
That’s great to hear you are getting it taken care of. My step brother has the same problem and I’ve been trying to convince him to get it corrected for years
God waking up with a hangover because you were too drunk to close your mouth and just passed out is the worst. Cotton mouth and raging headache, the worst.
He is correct. I’m a Respiratory Therapist and had hundreds of post Covid patients I had to train on breathing and in observation of mouth breathers I wondered how they made it through all these years. Nose breathing is vital.
I'm more than 30 and I've been breathing through my mouth all my life (my mouth is always open). I'm always tired and I have receding chin. Can I change all these habits and bone structure at this age ? Thanks
maybe thats what they were talking about in the video. if you were to breath more through your nose, it will open more and more over time. it could also be that you have some sort of condition, maybe you should see a doctor
Ever since I started breathing more through my nose I noticed that it's blocked less frequently and when it is blocked it has become a lot easier to clear it.
When I was a kid, my nose was always stuffy due to severe allergies, especially during spring and summer. Also have asthma. I was a big time mouth breather, and I also used to get sick a lot as a kid, so this makes sense. Now allergies don't hit me as hard as it used to, and started taking meds for allergies, and it's so much better.
I had/have the same allergy problem together with a deviated septum. I had an operation on the septum which the surgeon screwed up. The meds I used for the allergy shrank my nasal tissues so now I can't use them (meds) and rely on inadequate antihistamines. I can't be very active while breathing through my nose. But no, my face didn't change. Mind you, that was the last of my worries.
We got taught in school to always breathe through the nose whenever possible. The 40 year old explanation was that the hairs inside the nose would filter the air and make it more acceptable to the lungs
Nice! They never taught us how to breath in school. I graduated in 2012. But we learned the quadratic equation! Actually some people did. I never really caught on. I was too busy nose breathing my way out of class early.
Yes. It traps particulate matter as well as the sinus cavity adds moisture and warms the air which helps reduce impact on the lungs. Especially when you are breathing cold air.
@@SugaryPhoenixxx I graduated 1996. It feels like half the stuff we've learned was about health and morals, a new Internet enabled breed of teachers mixed with old school conservative teachers back then. They kinda battled each other, to the students benefits. It should return to that, a mix of old and new wisdom. Let the students sort it out.
Most doctors will refuse similar studies on ethical grounds, not necessarily because they’re good but because there’s no way it’ll get funded. There are lots of laws in place to ensure ethical consistency, and they are extremely strict with anything that could affect kids in any way. I’ve participated in conducting some medical studies, and seriously the ethical guidelines are very stringent, and when a doctor/researcher refuses it isn’t necessarily because they’re good
I read James' book, have been wearing nose strips, & tape my mouth shut while I sleep. Months later I noticed recently my sense of smell is 100 times better. Thanks Joe & James!!!
I live in a place filled with pollution, dust mites etc. It affects my breathing, I wake up with both sides of my nose blocked, ears paining when I swallow.. it's horrible. When my nose is blocked, I have no other choice than to breathe through my mouth. Hope it clears 🤧
Had serious respiratory issues as a child, that forced me to breath through the mouth while sleeping and it was never addressed, till this day I have this issue along with the narrow jaw, teeth crowding and really bad episodes of vertigo that no doctor can explain. When I went for orthodontic treatment in my early teens, no one explained to me or my parents that mouth breeding is what caused the defect, so the suggested treatment was not effective and the issues persisted into my adulthood. Even now there's very little information about the importance of correct breathing and fixing these bad habits. Don't let your kids sleep with their mouths open!
I knew a girl that was born with a closed up air way... 22 years later she got it fixed... almost killed her, enlarged her heart, had to go on steriods
I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this your whole life. If you haven’t I’d find a provider SLP/OT that is knowledgeable in tethered oral tissues to do a functional oral assessment on you to help find out the cause. All those symptoms could be a “tongue tie”. Many providers aren’t trained on how to look for one. Praying you get the help you need. No one should have to live with trouble breathing.
@marvin2678 its something u can live with for a long time and honealty just dont worry about until its like.. oh shit this gonna kill me.. which takes a long time
I can confirm this to be true, after i started nosebreathing when i run i do not run out of breath at all and the pain from running is far less substancial than it was when i was mouth breathing, i feel both stronger and better when i breath through my nose, i am glad i learned this as early as i did, i had not run much before, but in the past i would allways mouth breath becouse it felt easier, nose breathing takes a little while to get used to but once you do its immediatelly apparent just how superior it is, i went from a measly 4k when i started running serious while nosebreathing to a 12k+ in a month a half, i am so gratefull for this video, it literally changed my life!
Dr Boogerpicker here, I can answer all your questions Joe Rogan. I have dedicated my life to improving people's nasal breathing. THANK YOU for talking about this vitally important topic. I hear comments like Joe's every single day about how their life changed from improved breathing. Thank you James Nestor for explaining theses concepts very well. Your external nose is wider because it was opened from a reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery. This width has allowed you to breathe better. The splints temporarily hold things open, wouldn't make a permanent change. Howevere the nostrils, bones and cartilages CAN change over time after surgery related to scar formation, but most likely, this was a planned consequence of surgery, not random. Only the various turbinate structures can change size actively.
I’m a distance runner and my coach gave me the book “The Oxygen Advantage” by Patrick McKeown. Ever since I read the book I started to breathe strictly through my nostrils. After two weeks it became natural and I noticed Im so much more stronger. Great video
yeBolt It is hard at first but it’s extremely natural for me. After two weeks I noticed huge difference. Breathing through your nostrils keeps a constant airflow which aids in nitric acid production which is beneficial for exercise
Watch the video of that kid who got a hamster a couldn't breath through his nose for years due to allergies. It changed the entire shape of his face in a dramatic fashion
This is wild. I just took a long walk with my mouth closed and feel so much lighter and at peace. It’s all about the simple things. We get so caught up in tech, our minds, and quick fixes that we forget this stuff. Tune in to the body for wisdom. haven’t listened to as much JRE as years prior, but these type of episodes are what make his show incredible.
Anytime I see conversations about things we believe we know how to do you start to see the varying ways of doing things and why some people may struggle or have issues. Breathing, walking, bathing etc. A lot of people don't know fundamental aspects of doing these things correctly. Just look at any thread online about bathing habits or people who have issues with their feet or knees. People with weird gaits or people who don't wash their legs with actual friction because "the soap drips down their legs." Writing books about these things isn't as mad as it seems imo. Sometimes when you read about performers or athletes in the past, they learned everything from speaking properly, elocution, Standing, breathing. These fundamentals seemed to always be a part of a thespian or athletic education. They understood that these things need you to have great control and discipline with your body and it's fundamental processes. You don't always see that anymore. It's not always focused on these fundamentals as people assume "everybody knows" even though that is never the case .
We had a competition in the Army last year where we did tons of stuff to completely exhaust you and the very last part was running a mile with a mouthful of water and it was terrible lol
MALIK anderson I’ve never timed a 1 mile since we run a 2 mile for our PT test.. and my fastest time was 11:30 but average about 12:30. So probably around 5:30 ish.. but with the water it was about 7:30... but we were completely exhausted at that point before the run and could barely even walk
This is one of those topics you almost never talk about in your life I've had nasal polyps and a crooked nasal septum which restricted my nose breathing ability for a while, when I went to the doctor the first time he told me "oh you are a mouth breather" 10 seconds after entering the room I never even realized it. Very glad I'm now free of this for 3 months and happy to breathe through a free nose. Sadly I still breath through my mouth every night, so every morning I wake up with a really dry throat
Thank you! I watch this clip little less than year ago. I have had breathing problems more than 10 years, before i was even adult, migrens, difficulty to sleep, constant nose issues, it has been horrible. I also had surgery to widen my "nose canals" (i dont know the correct word). But then i saw this video and it changed my life! My face was so muscleless due to years of mouth breathing and then my nose was so stuffed ALL the time that i had to breath through my mouth, it was sicle i think started my childhood home air problems. I started with keeping my teeth in line all the time (I had horrible underbite) then build up to "hold my cheecks up", this took months, but was totally worth it, i did not use any equipment, and now all the problems gone! I have seen many doctors because of my breathing problems and nobody ever told me it could be lack of muscle in face and mouth breathing! And i look so much better too, i dont have so long face anymore it is more round, this video is 100% true i have done this and it change my life so much. I was always ugly, getting pretty would not be motivating enough to control your face all the time, but when it comes to breathing, it is easy to remember to hold your cheecks up when it instantly helps you breath better, prettiness is just side effect for me. Again seriously thank you!
Everyone breathing through their noses during this clip.
More impressive is not breathing the entire clip.
I have been breathing through my nose my whole life.
been doing it since i stopped licking windows... LOL
I didnt realize how often i actually use my nose
I remeber being a kid and i got told to breath thru my nose and out my mouth when joggin.
When I was a kid my dad told me "Stop breathing through your mouth, it makes you look stupid." Thanks, Dad.

Lol. It's like how my parents' generation were always being told to stand up straight by their parents. They were on to something. Then slouching and the whole hip hop style seemed to become cool, which seemed to just be a disservice to many. Same with the fact we are all looking down at our phones so much.
My mom always told me that women would never be attracted to a mouth breather. The idea of looking like that has haunted me since. Thanks, Ma.

SugaryPhoenixxx underrated comment
Jiu jitsu is life!
I recognized my son to be a mouth breather when he was 3. I pushed his pediatrician to take it seriously. He gave us a prescription for steroids. I didn't even get it filled. My son pronounced letter "M" like a "B". Hi Mom was Hi Bob. He could not breath through his nose. He sounded like a 2 ton walrus snoring. I grew impatient with the doc and went directly to an ENT doc. Insurance didn't approve but that's another story. Doc heard him speak and promply said he needs his adenoids out. Fast forward in the surgical waiting room one by one the docs would inform waiting parents that their kid was OK and the kid had 40%, 50%, 30% blockage. My guy came and said my son had 100% blockage. Looking back we determined that was why he couldn't breast feed. It wasn't for lack of trying but with his mouth engaged on the nipple he had no way to breath. All the "specialists" we saw for that, not one even considered that to be the cause. When we have told docs that they kind of roll their eyes and blow it off as nonsense.
Yea, well, they're constantly told by society that they're smart and know everything so they would have to be very self aware to recognise they're wrong.

Highly recommend James Nestor's book "breathe". In the span of 4 days of practicing some of his breathing exercises I gradually went from BP of 126/89 to 122/82 to 117/80. It was higher before starting these exercises which was reason I began tracking with home device after my dentist commented during a routine cleaning. Going to continue and hope to see progress. Thank you James!
i mean…that’s an extremely normal range to experience throughout the day. There’s nothing at all about those numbers that suggest anything beyond typical variation that anyone could expect.

No lie, I've had asthma most of my life and usually used my inhaler 5-10 times per day. Ever since nose-breathing and taping my mouth shut at night, I'm averaging 1-2 times per day and it's only my 3rd day.
Hmm that’s really interesting, I will try it out
Taping your mouth shut at night ?? 😬 stay safe dude
Bro you tape your mouth shut at night? wild
i like how we can google shit in 5 seconds flat, but people just spew shit. I was confounded at first too, 5 words later i found out its perfectly safe to tape your mouth at night (also i like your lessons mike :)
Asthma inhalers are pretty weird. For me at least, even though I felt the need to take them everyday, one day I just decided to stop to see how it went. I felt fatigue for a few days and suddenly it stopped, I've never felt the need to use my inhalers anymore since then and I get so much less exhausted when exercising.
Tho, I should attribute that to aging and working out more and what I experienced was just a coincidence
For the last few years I've been training myself to breathe using photosynthesis when exercising. Progress is slow since I never actually exercise, but the doctor says I am very close to achieving a vegetative state. That's gotta count for something.
Holy shi-.... that was good.

Nose breathing is the easiest thing people can do to be and feel better. It’s honestly embarrassing that it’s not a fundamental in school.
There’s a reason “mouth breather” is an insult.
Wow, you’ve convinced me to try it, but my nose is chronically stuffed

I’m starting at 35
my nose is almost always stuffed. Not allergies not sick...just like one side is stuffed then the other and back and forth...ugh...
I think it's that way for everyone lol we don't breathe through both nostrils at once
@@fkncompton7124 Uhh, no. Most people breathe through both nostrils at once. Unless you have sinus problems, allergies or some other underlying condition.
Very likely you have low reaction allergies to wheat or dairy. If I eat a pizza, my sinuses will blow up. I know it happens, but will still have one on occasion. You could also be dealing with a fungal infection that is left over from having a cold. There are some essential oils you can steam with that will clear it out. Also consider using a netti pot on a semi regular basis.
That's normal, it's called the nasal cycle. The purpose is to keep the breathing side always moist. Breathing takes away moisture, so the blocked side is slowly regaining moisture until the switch occurs.
You probably are intolerant to something in your diet or live in a polluted area. Try reducing wheat/diary and red meat, they're the most common ones. There are some unusual ones, like for me it's onions, tomato and cucumber. Doesn't make me sick, just a bit worse than normal

@cass nortom he always has to find a story that fits the subject or he thinks does.
At times he acts like nothing is a suprise to him.
This explains a lot. I’ve been breathing through my ears for years! I should have realized every time I passed out when wearing my headphones listening to this podcast.
I laughed, then realized that’s probably enough inter webs for one year.
I once saw a comedian on tv and his skit mentioned how kids would bully him as a child because he would breath through his mouth and would call him Darth Vader. He mentioned how he was an underachiever and didn't do well at school and had learning problems and low self esteem. Long story short, he found out as an adult that he had a deviated septum that was causing it and his parents had never questioned it. It was the reason he sucked at school an would get teased.
He eventually got surgery to correct it and realized alot of his life's problems were because of something that went undiagnosed until he was an adult. Because if you can't get enough oxygen when you sleep, you'll be very tired the next day and won't be able to focus.
His story made me very sad for him. I don't remember who that comedian was and I would really like to know so that I could thank him because when my daughter was a toddler I began to notice that she would snore, which didn't seem normal because she was not overweight. Then I began to notice that she was breathing through her mouth and I immediately thought about that comedian and how kids would tease him by calling him Vader. I didn't want that for my daughter.
Ikept telling her mother that it was not normal but the pediatrician kept telling her that it was and that she would grow out of it. We would argue about it alot and she would always tell me that I was not a doctor and that I was being paranoid. One day I finally had enough and we had a huge argument and I told her that I was gonna take my daughter to a different doctor and mom agreed to take her for a second opinion.
The specialist ended up discovering that my daughter had abnormally large tonsils that were making it hard for her to breathe through her nose. Fortunately, enlarged tonsils are easy to correct and we had them removed. Afterwards, I was shocked at how much my daughter's breathing had improved. The difference was almost immediate. Within less than a week there was no more snoring, no more mouth breathing, and I noticed my daughter had so much more energy. Again, I was floored.
I suspect that the reason it took a few days for her to start breathing normal again was because she was already used to breathing from her mouth instead of her nose. My daughter's mom felt guilty afterward for doubting me. And to think that I could have been unaware like many parents if I hadn't see that comedy skit and paid attention. Sorry for the long post but doctors don't always have all the answers, so trust your parental instinct and always get more that one opinion.
glad you could notice it before it affected your daughter in a significant way, makes me wonder how much people have this and are unaware since it’s such an easy thing to just disregard
@@dingdong8629 thank you! Actually, today is my daughter's 11th birthday and she's still healthy and full of energy. Yes, I'm sure there are a lot of cases out there that people are not aware of. Our experience also helped us guide another family that we know whose daughter had a similar issue with the tonsils. We gave them alot of advice and recommendations. They were amazed at the difference in their daughter's breathing aftet they had the procedure.

Update: Breathing is bad for your health. It can lead to old age, coughing, choking and death.
Thank you for this. I’m 48 years old and have always been a mouth breather. I was never told this was bad for me. When I was a kid a few doctors told me (at regular dental or other checkups) that I had a deviated septum. I was like ok...they never said anything else other than that and then moved on. I didn’t even know what a septum was! Now I know. I have so many issues do to mouth breathing that I never knew: grinding teeth, clicking jaw, terrible sleep, v-shape teetht/jaw instead of u-shape. I’m so pissed off that my doctors never said anything like, “we need to fix that”. All they said was, to a ten year old kid who’s parents had no idea either, was “you have a deviated septum”. Nothing else. They just left it at that and moved on to other things. I’m contacting an ENT doctor this week to see about fixing my septum. I simply can’t get enough oxygen through my nose.
Chaz thanks. I was introduced to breathing strips about ten years ago (I wear them to bed). It was a night and day difference but over the years I think my nasal passages have decreased in size to the point where the strips aren’t nearly as effective as they used to be.
Omg this is me exactly! My nasal passages are always stuffy and narrow and blocked up, I have a narrow jaw, unsure about the deviated septum but I'm sure I've got that too. Need to book in with ENT asap I hope they can help me but any other suggestions to help would be appreciated! I cannot tape my mouth shut as I can't get much air through my nose and would pass out...

@bobby i feel you. had migraines and stuffed nose for many years. For me it worked a nice exercise. i put my attention right under my nose, above the upper lip. I keep my attention there until i start to feel sensations. after 2-3 minutes my nose is open and clear. if i stay for 5-10 min i can breath for hours clear. it helps to touch with the finger above the upper lip to put my attention better there. after a few seconds i remove the finger. hope it helps. i know how frustrating might get sometimes not to smell or breath through nose. cheers.
Put some menthol on your nose
Try mewing. Putting your tongue on the top of your mouth. It will expand your palate and consequently your airway and your allergies will significantly decrease and you can breath through your nose
When I lost my weight in 2018, a big part of that was cardio. I started forcing myself to keep my mouth closed when I worked out. What I thought was that the capacity of the lung was fixed and probably the amount of air via nose vs mouth was the same in terms of oxygen metabolism. For the first two months, it was very uncomfortable especially in the most intense parts of the run. Then, my body got conditioned and it just became natural because of the habit. Another reason I stopped mouthbreathing is because it looks downright stupid. In high school, the wrestling coach taught us to breathe through the mouth, exhale during the flexion and inhale during the reset, and that method is largely what they still do to this day, even in pro sports, but it is totally wrong for a lot of reasons. So even when I am at home or at work, if i am not talking, eating or breathing, I keep my mouth shut. Great video!
I'm curious about this as well. I think in sport, we need more oxygen volume and mouth can accomplish a lot of that. I play tennis and swimming and running track. In tennis, we slow exhale through out mouth slowly to loosen up tension upon contact. In swimming we have no choice but inhale through mouth and exhale through noses and mouth. Of course, with all sport breathe through diaphragm is crucial as well as breathing rhythm to avoid hyperventilation and abdominal pain.
@@ianbuick8946 Yeah, as much as you can, always inhale through the nose, because of the air quality to the brain.

“Mouth breather” is probably the funniest insult I’ve heard
It is known that babies and children that mouth breath grow up with lower IQ's. Have you ever looked at someone and you can tell they have a lack of intelligence just by how they look?
That is because they have been breathing through their mouths all their life and as well as actually limiting their brain development it simultaneously changed what they were going to look like. This means a lot of these people have the same traits in their facial structures.
The native Americans knew this and culturally had a thing where if they had babies that slept with their mouths open, they would pinch them shut to force nose breathing.
They mention oxygen a lot in the video but as far as I can remember from a few yearsback when I was researching this topic myself, the intelligence thing has a lot to do with CO2. The brain actually does use CO2 for growth and development if I remember correctly, but this wouldn't be too hard to research yourself.
So maybe it's a really good insult?
I myself have worked with some stupid people whom I have asked if they breathe only through their mouths - particularly whilst sleeping - and they always say yes. Sounds nasty but I explain why I asked after and hopefully give them some knowledge and tools to help them going forward. It is possible to start nose breathing later in life and still change the facial structure (not sure on the IQ).
Just so you know the reason I looked up all of this, is that I came across the thing about native Americans pinching shut their babies mouths when my partner was pregnant.
I have done this to him on the rare occasions, early on, when he slept with his mouth open. He is a toddler now. Quite clever but I can not prove he would be less so if allowed to breathe through his mouth.
But if there is a small chance it helps, it is well worth the 10 seconds it takes to correct.

“ we are treating all these separate problems and we are not looking at the core issues” YES I’ve been preaching this. It has always shocked me how doctors aren’t educated about oral function. Providers usually “put bandaids” on issues by prescribing medications or saying everything is normal instead of finding the root cause and fixing it. For example if a baby isn’t physically able to breastfeed despite good maternal anatomy and a lactation consultant sees a tongue tie restricting necessary movement it often gets brushed off by the MD. Like my daughter they ignored all her symptoms of oral dysfunction and brushed it off as normal (suck blisters on lips, horrible gas pain, damaging me, lots of spit up with every feed etc). But it was “fine” because she was growing well. Well what about long term affects of mouth breathing due to low tongue posture?! We know it detrimental to our body ( from frequent cavities to increased blood pressure to dementia/Alzheimers). Providers need to start being taught s/s of oral dysfunction and all dentist and ENT need to know how to do a functional oral assessment. I believe so many peoples life’s would be changed for the better and so many disorders/diseases may be prevented.

I already had allergies but they became 10 times worse. I had an operation at 14 to fix my deviated septum and open up that nostril which barely works. I got this other doctor who started me doing these breathing exercises which consisted on breathing in and out of my nose the best that I could. 20 times 3 times a day. Promise to me that if I simply just tried 3 times a day that in two weeks I will definitely see an improvement. So in the beginning I maybe was doing it one time a day. Then I went and saw him and he asked if I was doing it three times a day. I told him yes but still it wasn't working. He basically told me that he didn't believe me that he guarantees success if I really committed to doing it 20 times 3 times a day. So I admitted I was lying and then started doing it three times a day. One night I realized I got some really good sleep. That morning I woke up and noticed that I was breathing through my nose very clearly. I counted the days since I started doing it three times a day. And realized it had been 15 days. I was so surprised. Not only could I breathe through my nose. But usually I had allergies so bad especially in the summer that I had to carry a handkerchief with me all day and was constantly blowing my nose. But that day I didn't blow my nose not one time. I had allergies so bad that I had to get shots 2 times a week. I continued to get my breathing exercises and eventually I have no problem with allergies. Also that was right when I started smoking pot heavily. I used to tell people it was the marijuana that cured my bad allergies but the truth was it was really those breathing exercises through my nostrils. So I totally believe in what this guy is saying
I cant breathe through one nostril and i got a bump on my nose after i fell on it once do you think i could have the same?
There's a really good book called "the oxygen advantage" by Patrick McKeown that discusses nasal breathing and how to unblock your nose, really good book I would recommend it to anyone
Yes!, I read it about a year ago and it's been a massive game changer for me. Sleep, sport, anxiety.
@@greenygg3498 that's awesome, I got the book about 5 months ago and if has been helping me maintain my endurance while i have been recovery from surgery and it's been so helpful
My sinuses really opened up after a month of avoiding milk products. It really surprised me.
The book changed my life, I had a constant chest infection for months no matter how much antibiotics I had the infection was still there untill I started nose breathing and mouth taping at night I've never had a chest infection ever since and I've been doing it for 2 years
The oxygen advantage has a forward by a quack scientist.. really quack.

nose breather since i was a kid, i cant stand having my throat dry out so i slept with my mouth closed. During the day i could care less about talking to people especially during school and class so i kept my mouth shut and would breathe through my nose. During tennis my coach taught me to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth when doing exercise as well as to manage how much air i should take in with regard to what i was doing (breathe proportionally). point being if you suddenly need to do something that is demanding on the body at that specific moment in time always start with a deep breathe before you begin.
Does it really change ur face
My 65 year old Mexican mom : "Ya vez que te dije." She's been telling me to breath through my nose while running since I was a kid.
My man if ur run is intense there is no god damn way u can take enough air through nose.while sprinting u should breath through your mouth forcefully,u will be amazed of the speed u can gain....

I started making myself breath through my nose and it changed my life. Before I made the change I started getting really bad dry mouth after sleeping, tired all the time, post nasal drip constantly, anxiety , and insomnia. Life is so much better.
I give my son ( 10 years old in March) a strip of 3M Micropore tape to put over his mouth when he sleeps... otherwise he breaths through his mouth. CONSTANTLY have to remind him to close his mouth/ breath through nose, whilst awake. Tell this to most Doctors/Dentists and they look at you like you are crazy.
Same symptoms here, exactly the same, I am so tired of this, what was your solution, just constantly trying breathing through the nose? I am thinking of an operation to fix my nose and septum
@@goja2101993 I ended up having a large poll-up on my vocal cord. I had to have it removed, it was blocking half my airway. Those nose breathing helped for a while but it quit working after a few weeks.
@@KJ-ym1qg do you still have anxiety
I’m kind of surprised there are so many people that don’t just normally breath through the thing we are supposed to breath through
I can’t breathe through nose, it feels like I can’t get enough air everyone else can but me I’m ugly and I have sleep apnea
Get MSE pls brother
You not ugly get some help if you can't breathe through nose who cares what people think
Start practising buteyko breathing. Later on you can move on to taping your mouth shut for few hours while meditating. And the ultimate challenge is taping your mouth shut while sleeping. If you follow along and progress, you will find someone else in the mirror.

"Your nose produces Nitrous Oxide" -- I play sports all the time and didn't know I had a BOOST option all along!
@William Loudermilk get some help bro, love ya
I’ve come across the benefits of nose breathing a while ago and looked into mewing. I used to believe that I just had a deviated septum but have been told that my mandibles are both underdeveloped so there is a reason why I can’t breathe through my nose half the time and the deviated septum is a byproduct of this.
*Edit* also, whilst Dr Mew claims that correct tongue posture will help you expand your palette, he is only half right. It works if your upper mandible is fairly well developed, but if it isn’t you will struggle to breathe properly whilst maintaining proper tongue posture.
_nitric_ oxide, not nitrous oxide

I have a deviated septum and was supposed to have it corrected a year ago but just didn’t go back, I just now called my ENT to make an appt 🤣
Don't let them touch your turbinates. That's what warms and humidifies the air you breathe.
Ill help you fix that cutie
That’s great to hear you are getting it taken care of. My step brother has the same problem and I’ve been trying to convince him to get it corrected for years
No joke my mom has fixed deviated septum without surgery. Hurts like hell though.
Me too....I was worried about it too. But I need to get it done
I cannot breathe through my mouth, dries up my mouth... unless I’m running intensely.
Its called tongue posture. If u rest ur tongue on the roof of ur mouth it improves the bone structure of ur face.

I can't. I've had allergies all my life and CAN'T breath through my nose 90+% of the time. That said, I don't get sick and have a decent breath hold.
I found that by breathing through my nose my allergies dissipated. My nose no longer was stuffed.
@@timsanders9266 same here bro
+Mark James
Try Butyeko breathing and search for Patrick Mckeown on RUclips. There are ways to unblock the nose naturally.
Same for me. Unless I use some spray or inhale something to "open up" my nose, I can only breath through my mouth.
same
Just watched his episode on impact theory the other day, Glad to see he is getting this awesome exposure. Love his content!
He is correct. I’m a Respiratory Therapist and had hundreds of post Covid patients I had to train on breathing and in observation of mouth breathers I wondered how they made it through all these years. Nose breathing is vital.
I'm more than 30 and I've been breathing through my mouth all my life (my mouth is always open). I'm always tired and I have receding chin. Can I change all these habits and bone structure at this age ? Thanks

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration is a top 5 life changing book. Also, stop eating vegetable and seed oils.
as much as I want to breathe through my nose I can't always do that because its constantly blocked
maybe thats what they were talking about in the video. if you were to breath more through your nose, it will open more and more over time. it could also be that you have some sort of condition, maybe you should see a doctor
Too much blow
With cocaine?
@@Ron-Lfc10-163 yup
Ever since I started breathing more through my nose I noticed that it's blocked less frequently and when it is blocked it has become a lot easier to clear it.
When I was a kid, my nose was always stuffy due to severe allergies, especially during spring and summer. Also have asthma. I was a big time mouth breather, and I also used to get sick a lot as a kid, so this makes sense. Now allergies don't hit me as hard as it used to, and started taking meds for allergies, and it's so much better.
Could I ask if you think that it had any effects on your face?
I had/have the same allergy problem together with a deviated septum. I had an operation on the septum which the surgeon screwed up. The meds I used for the allergy shrank my nasal tissues so now I can't use them (meds) and rely on inadequate antihistamines. I can't be very active while breathing through my nose. But no, my face didn't change. Mind you, that was the last of my worries.
Totally on board Mr. Nestor, breathe is life and ground zero.
Breathing only through your mouth is also catastrophic for cardiovascular endurance, best way to waste all your stamina away
@ReadyOrNot Me either!
The sad truth is that once you are a mouth breather, it becomes hard to fix the problem.
@ReadyOrNot Don't worry most of it is bro-science anyway
We got taught in school to always breathe through the nose whenever possible. The 40 year old explanation was that the hairs inside the nose would filter the air and make it more acceptable to the lungs
Yeah exactly same thing here too.
Nice! They never taught us how to breath in school. I graduated in 2012. But we learned the quadratic equation! Actually some people did. I never really caught on. I was too busy nose breathing my way out of class early.
Yes. It traps particulate matter as well as the sinus cavity adds moisture and warms the air which helps reduce impact on the lungs. Especially when you are breathing cold air.
I was told that, too!
@@SugaryPhoenixxx I graduated 1996. It feels like half the stuff we've learned was about health and morals, a new Internet enabled breed of teachers mixed with old school conservative teachers back then. They kinda battled each other, to the students benefits.
It should return to that, a mix of old and new wisdom. Let the students sort it out.
The fact that the doctor refused on ethical grounds, means he's a good doctor.
Most doctors will refuse similar studies on ethical grounds, not necessarily because they’re good but because there’s no way it’ll get funded. There are lots of laws in place to ensure ethical consistency, and they are extremely strict with anything that could affect kids in any way. I’ve participated in conducting some medical studies, and seriously the ethical guidelines are very stringent, and when a doctor/researcher refuses it isn’t necessarily because they’re good
I read James' book, have been wearing nose strips, & tape my mouth shut while I sleep. Months later I noticed recently my sense of smell is 100 times better. Thanks Joe & James!!!

I never knew that mouth breathing was bad. This video took my breath away
I live in a place filled with pollution, dust mites etc. It affects my breathing, I wake up with both sides of my nose blocked, ears paining when I swallow.. it's horrible. When my nose is blocked, I have no other choice than to breathe through my mouth. Hope it clears 🤧
Had serious respiratory issues as a child, that forced me to breath through the mouth while sleeping and it was never addressed, till this day I have this issue along with the narrow jaw, teeth crowding and really bad episodes of vertigo that no doctor can explain. When I went for orthodontic treatment in my early teens, no one explained to me or my parents that mouth breeding is what caused the defect, so the suggested treatment was not effective and the issues persisted into my adulthood. Even now there's very little information about the importance of correct breathing and fixing these bad habits. Don't let your kids sleep with their mouths open!
I knew a girl that was born with a closed up air way... 22 years later she got it fixed... almost killed her, enlarged her heart, had to go on steriods
I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this your whole life. If you haven’t I’d find a provider SLP/OT that is knowledgeable in tethered oral tissues to do a functional oral assessment on you to help find out the cause. All those symptoms could be a “tongue tie”. Many providers aren’t trained on how to look for one. Praying you get the help you need. No one should have to live with trouble breathing.

I was hoping to hear more about the free divers and their breathing techniques.
It’s actually a really good technique when you don’t know much about a topic to try to relate it back to something you know a lot
I can confirm this to be true, after i started nosebreathing when i run i do not run out of breath at all and the pain from running is far less substancial than it was when i was mouth breathing, i feel both stronger and better when i breath through my nose, i am glad i learned this as early as i did, i had not run much before, but in the past i would allways mouth breath becouse it felt easier, nose breathing takes a little while to get used to but once you do its immediatelly apparent just how superior it is, i went from a measly 4k when i started running serious while nosebreathing to a 12k+ in a month a half, i am so gratefull for this video, it literally changed my life!
Dr Boogerpicker here, I can answer all your questions Joe Rogan. I have dedicated my life to improving people's nasal breathing. THANK YOU for talking about this vitally important topic. I hear comments like Joe's every single day about how their life changed from improved breathing. Thank you James Nestor for explaining theses concepts very well. Your external nose is wider because it was opened from a reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery. This width has allowed you to breathe better. The splints temporarily hold things open, wouldn't make a permanent change. Howevere the nostrils, bones and cartilages CAN change over time after surgery related to scar formation, but most likely, this was a planned consequence of surgery, not random. Only the various turbinate structures can change size actively.
I’m a distance runner and my coach gave me the book “The Oxygen Advantage” by Patrick McKeown. Ever since I read the book I started to breathe strictly through my nostrils. After two weeks it became natural and I noticed Im so much more stronger. Great video
Breath through nose even when running?
Mike Studmuffin can’t stop something I’ve never done
yeBolt It is hard at first but it’s extremely natural for me. After two weeks I noticed huge difference. Breathing through your nostrils keeps a constant airflow which aids in nitric acid production which is beneficial for exercise
No professional athletes breathe through their nose while running. It's definitely not reccomended.

haven’t listened to as much JRE as years prior, but these type of episodes are what make his show incredible.
Anytime I see conversations about things we believe we know how to do you start to see the varying ways of doing things and why some people may struggle or have issues.
Breathing, walking, bathing etc. A lot of people don't know fundamental aspects of doing these things correctly.
Just look at any thread online about bathing habits or people who have issues with their feet or knees. People with weird gaits or people who don't wash their legs with actual friction because "the soap drips down their legs."
Writing books about these things isn't as mad as it seems imo.
Sometimes when you read about performers or athletes in the past, they learned everything from speaking properly, elocution, Standing, breathing. These fundamentals seemed to always be a part of a thespian or athletic education. They understood that these things need you to have great control and discipline with your body and it's fundamental processes. You don't always see that anymore. It's not always focused on these fundamentals as people assume "everybody knows" even though that is never the case .
We had a competition in the Army last year where we did tons of stuff to completely exhaust you and the very last part was running a mile with a mouthful of water and it was terrible lol

Thank you! I watch this clip little less than year ago. I have had breathing problems more than 10 years, before i was even adult, migrens, difficulty to sleep, constant nose issues, it has been horrible. I also had surgery to widen my "nose canals" (i dont know the correct word). But then i saw this video and it changed my life! My face was so muscleless due to years of mouth breathing and then my nose was so stuffed ALL the time that i had to breath through my mouth, it was sicle i think started my childhood home air problems. I started with keeping my teeth in line all the time (I had horrible underbite) then build up to "hold my cheecks up", this took months, but was totally worth it, i did not use any equipment, and now all the problems gone! I have seen many doctors because of my breathing problems and nobody ever told me it could be lack of muscle in face and mouth breathing! And i look so much better too, i dont have so long face anymore it is more round, this video is 100% true i have done this and it change my life so much. I was always ugly, getting pretty would not be motivating enough to control your face all the time, but when it comes to breathing, it is easy to remember to hold your cheecks up when it instantly helps you breath better, prettiness is just side effect for me. Again seriously thank you!
