QUOTES:
“Just breathing equivalent breaths through the nose than through the mouth will increase oxygenation by about 20%.” [22:34]
“Allowing the body to enter a state where it can heal itself, which is what it’s doing every minute of every day, but we need to allow our bodies to do more of that. And that, to me, is really the core of what breathing allows us to do.” [35:13]
“The important thing is to know that to bolster your body’s defenses, to focus on your breathing, can absolutely have a profound affect on your immune function.” [44:53]

Most underrated video. Whoever fought for this dude to come on should get a bonus Tom.

Breathing is one thing in life that follows us through the whole journey. We might as well learn it the best we can.
-
I took my blood pressure half hour before watching this. 154/84. I watched and started breathing as suggested. Then I took blood pressure again. 120/82. I cannot believe the effect...... think I need to read the book. Thank you for this great interview

I am 77 years old and I am just now learning about the nose I have always been a mouth breather and I have asthma and bronchial problems I have to admit when I quit smoking I was three packs a day but that’s 44 years ago I intend to practice this every day what I’ve learned is it’s never too late humming is my friend 🤗

My takeaway, the slower you breathe in and out through your nose with deliberate attention and focus the healthier you become, also when you slow down to chew your food slowly, the structure of your body levels up for optimized wellness

2004 I got divorced, 2009 I did art of living breathing techniques course/ Indian guru sri Ravi sankar, followed by meditation classes until today i follow through! I am so thankful because I feel like it opened my sixth senses and I would recommend everyone to do this. So the best outcome is I wish I did this courses before divorced. Because today I am totally different person with healthy body mind and soul.

Lifelong severe asthmatic. Couldn't do breathing exercises because I felt like I was suffocating. I have extreme resistance to natural cures having gone down that route excessively. When I heard Patrick McKeown say 'breathe less' I was entranced. Breathe less? I've always wanted to rest between breaths, it's always been discouraged. I shut my mouth, breathed less, taped it shut at night and started doing abbreviated Wim Hof (using nasal breathing not mouth breathing) and following recommendations on Patrick's channel Oxygen Advantage. I could not and would not make this up. I went from around 9 medications a day to 1/4 dose of my corticosteroid and the occasional OTC allergy pill for convenience where I don't have time to properly do breath holds. It's now been 4 weeks. It changed immediately, on Day 1. Yes, I still have asthma, I use breath holding to manage it. Did a video, will do a follow up sometime. It's life-changing. I would not have believed it. My lung function is low - on good days I've managed to hold my breath for up to 2 minutes during Wim Hof. I don't push it, it's not every day but I couldn't hold my breath for 15 seconds before. You cannot imagine how effective it is.

I love that Tom is honestly skeptical about the people he brings in. At least initially, and willing to do his research to see if the ideas are worth sharing with us. And shoutout to his team for suggesting these guests!
-

Basically it's Pranayama one aspect of Yoga, where Ida, Pingala and Sushumna is all balanced. Which represents Moon- cool breathe, Sun - Hot breathe. Lots of deep studies in Pranayama will teach all above he has mentioned , here in India, it's been practiced from 1000 's of years.

Thank you for bringing the science to breathwork. I am a respiratory therapist student. Not with the goal to work in a hospital following the status quo but rather to research and teach these same concepts. I cant wait to read this book!

Love the attention on the breath, I have has asthma since I was 6 yrs old. After I recently read another interesting book on breath (The oxygen advantage) I have been breathing so much more efficiently and my life's quality has definitely improved massively.

Just finished his book and I've been taping my mouth shut at night.

Tom Bilyeu, you're a pioneer for a better future. Thank you.
