“How many times your heart beats, right? So if you're exhaling, which slows the heart rate down more what's going to happen to your heart rate, it's going to start slowing down more. And that exhale, that's slowing down and telling your body you're in a safe place that it can relax is what triggers this response by the nervous system.”

“If you really pay attention, and a lot of people have problems doing this, which is why it's helpful for them to look at their whoop or whatever, you can place your hand over your heart. And when you inhale, Can feel your heart rate increase when you exhale. Slows down. This is how HRV works. This is how it's calculated is the difference in time on that. And the shortest distance to the longest difference. And this is looking at your nervous system function. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia. So how you breathe affects how”

“I've seen this hundreds and hundreds of times. So by breathing slowly, you're making them more comfortable with more CO2. You're making them more comfortable with their nervous system function with themselves, which is why this assessment of a breath hold is very useful and so important. It's not only a diagnostic, it's a therapeutic. Because while you're holding your breath, you're also in the action of training yourself to tolerate more CO2, which will calm your body down.”

“Absolutely. And they've documented that. They've looked at their breathing. They've looked at their carbon dioxide levels. And carbon dioxide is indicative of how slow you're breathing. If your levels are very low, that means you breathe like this You're just off gassing all of this CO2, and they're always low, especially for anxiety and panic as well. They're always low, extremely low. You ask someone with acute panic or anxiety to hold their breath, this is usually what happens. I'm never doing that again”

“Anxiety, stress, because this is where autoimmune issues and so many other problems come from by constantly stained stress. We want stress. We want to be able to access stress for short amounts of time. Then we want to flip back into this parasympathetic, this relaxing state. If you look at, once again, animals in the wild, you even look at like a gazelle that's been attacked. Five minutes later, it's just sleeping. So it has a nervous system that's able to pivot from one to the other. Unfortunately, we live in an environment where we are always activating, always pushing towards that sympathetic, and is making us sick, really, really sick. So you're breathing is the quickest way of taking control of acute stress. Pills work, okay? Other modalities work, but in that moment is when you need the most help and your breathing is the thing that can”

“Sympathetic state is the act, the fight or flight. This is the action part of your nervous system. When you're in this state, you are ready for action. And what happens, which is great. We want to be ready for action. We want to be ready to fight or run away from stuff. We do not want to be in the state all day long.”

“So, how you breathe is going to activate your nervous system function, your nervous system function is going to activate everything in your body. So we can take conscious control of our breathing. We can't take conscious control of our heart rate or liver function or any of that. We can't take control of our breathing. When we take control of our breathing, we can hack into our nervous system. So you can be in a sympathetic state just like we were. You take a couple of those double inhales and exhales.”

“So breathe in, two, three, four out two, three, four, five, six, breathe in, two, three. Doesn't have to be that exact pattern, but this will trigger all of that parasympathetic response in your body. You can see this if you're looking at your heart rate variability. It's amazing to see the difference that this happens just after a few breaths. Look at looking at your HRV, looking at your heart rate, looking at your stress levels.”

“You can return to then a slow, low rhythmic breathing pattern from there, or whatever makes you comfortable. I like five seconds in, five seconds out. Also what's beneficial for people if it's comfortable for them is four seconds in, six out will really mellow you out. We could try that right now. Breathe in. Okay. First of all, slow, I should not be seeing you. We're going to breathe in just very, very lightly. We're going to relax here.”

“You're in line at the airport. Someone's cut you off. You ordered something at Starbucks. They gave you the wrong, you know, all the things that are just. Drive us crazy nowadays. At that moment, want you to breathe in. Pause, breathe in again. Let Relax yourself a little bit when you're doing these breaths. Okay, breathe in. Then and let it That one more time. Breathe in, a little more subtle, let in again. You did this in a very exaggerated way, which is fine, but you can do this so no one can tell you're doing it. You can do it very subtle. You probably feel a little different now than you did before.”

“Your health, high blood pressure issues, all the things we had talked about, metabolic dysfunctions, and more, which makes sense because you're just constantly in this loop of fear and threat and stress. So the quickest, most effective way, way more than drugs to take control of this stress is to take control of your breathing. And this has been documented time and time again. So when you notice your breathing this way, you stop. What I like to do is breathe two breaths in and then an exhale looks like this. Resets your respiratory system, that resets your breathing pattern, and then you can do a few rounds of that and go back to very simple five second in, five second out. So let's just pretend”

“Hold our breath again and we breathe like this You think about thousands of years ago when we were out in the wilds, what would we do if there was a threat approaching? You'd hold your breath to be silent, and then you breathe too much, you get your respiratory system ready to either fight it off or to run away. So we're having this same response in our day-to-day lives now because we're so oversensitized to it. So researchers have different names for this. They call it email apnea or continuous awareness. I mean, there's an academic name for it, partial attention syndrome. I prefer email apnea easier to remember no matter what you call it. It's the idea that when you're in the office place, you're breathing dysfunctionally. And they've found there was some NIH studies on this. They found that breathing this way can have long term damage.”

“Mm-hmm. So we've talked about the skeleton. We've talked about anthropology. We've talked about biomechanics and posture. But something else that ties into this, you're 100% right, is psychology, is your brain. So how you breathe affects how your brain works, affects your anxiety, but your anxiety also affects how you're breathing. So again, it's another one of those circles. What happens so often is when we're at work, we're so sensitized to threats and to fear that we overreact when something happens, even though it's not threatening our life. We get a nasty email from a friend or a email from the boss that's disappointed at the last project you did. And we get stressed out, right? So what is the physiological response to stress is we clench up, we hold our breath. And then we breathe like this.”

“This is a way that you can't cheat. So a tape measure is good. And if you get an inch, inch and a half, that's pretty good. But you can work that up. And if you see really good breathers, people have practiced a lot of yoga and done it the right way. They can have this massive expansion. And this is what ties into free divers. Free divers are the experts at accessing every square inch of their lung capacity to fill it with air. And that's what they do, which is why if you ever see free divers go to one of these competitions, they're short people, tall people, fat people, whatever. They all have these enormous chess because they've been able to develop this incredible lung capacity.”

“Right. Because everyone calls this a belly breath. So people do this with their belly, but you can move your belly independently of your breathing.”

“You want to see your chest movie outwards because most of your lungs, the expansion is in your back, but some of that is going to be happening. This is not a pose that you want to do like this, right? You should be very loose, very limb. And when you breathe in, you want that air to fill all the way up there, but you want to start low first. That means the diaphragm is descending. Most of the air that is soaked up from the lungs and that gas exchange happens at the bottom of the lung. So you want to be able to access the bottom of those lungs.”

“And you're going to breathe in deep, and those hands should be moving out laterally. You will start to feel those organs getting compressed. That's good. You want that. Then you can move it up one more time. So we're going to start low and we're going to move that breath up to the chest. Keep your shoulders down Try it again, keep the shoulders down. You go, and those fingers should be separating. So this is something that you can check in if those hands are moving out laterally. If those hands are separating on your chest, you are taking a proper biomechanical breath. And that's what you need to focus on. And you'll notice once you start learning how to access these different areas, you start applying this to working out and your performance will tend to go up. You'll be less exhausted at the end. You'll just feel better all around.”

“Just like this, fingers on the collarbone. Going to take a big breath into our lower abdomen area, move it up. And you want your chest to be expanding outward. The last thing we want to do, take your hands and put them, especially you need to do this. Take your hands, put them around your neck. Want you to do that same breath, you should feel zero tension in your neck. There's none of this going on, okay? It should feel soft and supple. So let's take that belly to the chest breath. There's any tension, do it again until there's no tension. Okay, now try that again, keeping your shoulders down. Okay, do not move your shoulders up. There's none of this going on. You're very soft, very relaxed. Take your hands above the hip bones. When you're breathing in very deep, those hands should be out like this. Like wings”

“You want your hands to be moving outward. And if you take a cloth measuring tape, you can actually measure your progress this way. The next thing you want to do is take your hands, okay? Take your four fingers, place them on your collarbone, and put this one's very weird. Place your middle finger right there so it's only your middle finger that's touching, okay? And we're going to breathe deep. Then we're going to move that breath up into our chest, okay? Don't move your shoulders You want to see those fingers naturally separated. Okay, so this is not a flexing thing. Your shoulders stay down.”

“You want your hands to me moving outwards, okay? I don't care what's happening with your lung, with your stomach. I can hold my breath. And move my stomach in and out. So, when people talk about a belly breath, that's not what we're doing. When your hands are moving out laterally, that means your diaphragm is descending. That's how we can see if you're taking a proper deep breath. So as you breathe in,”

“I think biomechanics, the first thing is awareness to any of this stuff. You can take your hands. We can do this while we're seated here. You can put it above your sit bones here. And when you breathe in, breathe very, very low, and you want your hands to move out laterally. I don't care what your stomach's doing, moving out laterally. So as you breathe in.”

“cardiovascular exercise. Ways to access that a little more if you're dysfunctionally breathing when you're working out. Not doing yourself too many favors. So you have to remember those simple basic things. You have to learn how to take a proper breath, then apply that to your workouts. You will see such an incredible difference once you do this. This is what yoga is good for. It's hard to do yoga without breathing well, right? You can do it, but by virtue of all those different poses, they're meant to open up your chest, right? to expand this area”

“Absolutely. And it's my belief after studying this stuff for so long that that is the thing you want to pay attention to more than anything else, especially as you grow older, your lung function, how much air you can pack into your lungs, how long you can hold your breath. All of this is indicative of your general respiratory function and your general health. So that little hint of using a breath hold every morning to see where you are physically and mentally. I think is good. They've used it for thousands and thousands of years and now it's coming back. This is something that a lot of these longevity experts aren't looking into. They're looking into nutrition and exercise. They're not looking into lung capacity. We get more energy from breath than we do from food and drink, right? We take 30 pounds of air in and out of our lungs every single day. And so I”

“Very quickly, and especially for women around 50 and 60, your lung function and your lung size starts shrinking, shrinking, shrinking up, which means at the time you need more oxygen more easily, it's much harder to get that. And that's where people's health really starts disintegrating. They start having problems. The good news is you can stave off this deterioration, this shrinking of your lungs by doing all the stuff we're talking about, by doing breath work exercises by exercise. What is yoga but stretching? I am breathing into this lung and breathing into that lung, so the yogis knew this thousands and thousands of years ago.”

“The greatest indicator according to these studies, the Framingham study looked at 5,200 people over the course of 70 years, and they found that the people who lived the longest had the largest and healthiest lung function. They even did studies in which they were looking at people who had lung transplants, so surgically implanted lungs, those who were given larger lungs lived way longer than those given normal size or smaller lungs. So no matter how you get these larger lungs, it's better. And luckily, we don't need to get a transplant to do this. We can practice healthy breathing. We can practice stretches. We can exercise. And this naturally can keep our lung size up. It's very sad when you start looking at these charts of what happened after you're 30. You're almost there. So get ready. It's a real bummer. But your lung function starts dropping off.”

“So that's a general measurement of the amount of ox, how efficient you are at taking up oxygen, which is related to breathing, but it's also related to the respiratory system and how you're able to extract that oxygen from your lungs into your bloodstream. And it's a good gauge of general athletic performance. It's not everything, and there's been some pushback against using that as a measurement. But it's a general gauge, a good tool for that.”

“I believe it's a physiological problem, it's a breathing problem, and that study is just one of many that has espoused that. If you're talking about an adult with ADHD, what I know about adopting healthy breathing habits, you will only benefit. That benefit might be this big or it might completely transform your life, right? You will only know once you do it. So I don't feel comfortable guaranteeing anyone of anything. There might be some respiratory therapists or breathing coaches who will say absolutely I can cure your ADHD with these breathing practices. That's fine, but I don't think it's the same prescription for everybody. I know it'll help, though.”

“Yeah, I think it depends on who you are. I don't think that there's a blanket prescription or a blanket guarantee on any of this stuff. I think it depends on what's the root cause of that ADHD. We know in kids it's treated as a neurological problem, right? If that were true, then the drug should work and they don't.”

“When they fixed the breathing, the ADHD goes away. For the majority of the cases, not for everybody, for the majority of the cases it disappears. You can look at the studies. I'm happy to provide those for you. To me, it makes sense. It's if you're struggling to sleep. You are never going to be fully aware during the daytime, right? And this is one of the reasons why so many kids get their adenoids taken out, their tonsils taken out, and more. But unless you fix the breathing habit, you can do those surgeries and they can be very helpful. Unless you fix the breathing habits, all of those problems tend to come back, sometimes even more so. So you're not fixing the core issue and the core issue is breathing and breathing retraining, breathing habits.”

“And they cause more resistance when they're breathing. So even if kids, even if you hear a slight resistance to it, that is cause for alarm as well. I know this seems overblown like some crazy warning, but you can, there are five hundred scientific references available for free on my website. Look at the work by Christian Gimino, who is at Stanford for forty years. He was sounding the alarm in the seventies, and nobody listened to him. And people still aren't listening to this, and it is a serious problem. So what's true for kids is also true for adults, but I'll just cap that off right there.”

“They said it is one hundred percent related to your breathing at night especially. So again, that is not my view. This is what they have said. I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I don't think it's too far to say the vast majority of those issues if your kid has sleep apnea or is snoring are caused by that. They are not sleeping well. If you are not sleeping well, what do you do all day long? Your body is trying to stay awake, so they're given riddling to stay awake. They're given sleeping pills to go to sleep. Those sleeping pills will make their breathing worse because they loosen all of the muscles in hair.”

“So if you're a parent and you have kids who are having health issues, even if they don't have health issues, look at how they're breathing at night. This is so important. Look at how they're breathing in the day. If they're breathing the vast majority of their breasts through their mouth, you have to fix that. Number one, they will be much more susceptible to asthma, allergies, and other issues later on in life, especially at night if they are breathing through an open mouth. And if you can hear them breathing when they're sleeping or This is a big red flag that you better look into immediately because there will be so many downstream issues caused by that breathing pattern.

And I'm convinced that kids who are bottle-fed can be wonderful, perfect breathers by adopting other habits beyond that.”

“Look it up on YouTube. Anybody. It's much easier to feed from a bottle. It requires less stress to feed from a bottle. When you are breastfeeding, it is much more activating for the infant to have to glom on to the breast and the nipple goes actually deep into their mouth, almost down their throat, and it requires more chewing stress. We know this.”

“The face is going to develop differently, right? So that makes sense to me. But even if a kid is bottle fed, which is great if you want to bottle feed a kid, as long as they're eating healthy food that they actually chew after that, I believe my personal opinion is you can develop all of that proper facial structure. And you can also use some different orthodontic devices to help push that along. And you will be perfectly fine.”

“Get in trouble as well. You might trust me. So I want to be extremely clear here. I am a journalist and I go out and talk to experts in the field. These are not my opinions. What I'm telling you, what I have been told by dozens and dozens of experts, and I'm not shaming anyone for feeding their children any way they want. That's none of my business, okay? What I have learned from several experts is the stress and chewing required for breastfeeding will help pull the face out and develop a larger airway. Again, I want to be very clear. I'm not shaming modern mothers. You're under an incredible amount of stress. Bottle feeding perfectly fine. You want to do that? I think it's great, but that stress, and you think about it, like for two years, if you're constantly pulling that face out.”

“Absolutely. And if you look at the reasons why our ancestors all had these pronathic, really strong faces, these huge airways, it's because they were breastfed for a minimum of two years. And after that, they weren't weaned onto applesauce or baby food. They ate adult food, right? There was no such thing as Gerbers back then a few hundred years ago. They went from being breastfed to eating adult food, which requires a lot of chewing. That's the main driver behind how our faces have developed and devolved in the past three hundred years.”

“Think about the food you ate today. Well, maybe not you because you're probably eating healthy food, but the food that most people are eating, everything soft takes a few bites, is gone. There's no rigorous chewing. And if you don't get that early on in life, your skeleture does not develop properly and your musculature does not develop properly, and you grow a different kind of faith that makes you much more susceptible to poor breathing habits.”

“Because of industrialized food elicits very little chewing. You don't need to chew very much when you're eating soft food. So if you think about it, our ancestors chewed for like three, four hours a day, chewing raw meat, bones, roots.”

“And researchers have done this for decades and decades, and I've seen these skulls before after industrialization. And the same story plays out no matter where you are on the planet.

“to make us such poor breathers. And that point is right when industrialized food came into different cultures. So that happened at different times, came in first to England and France, then it spread to Germany, then is spread to Scandinavia, then it spread through the rest of the world. You can see in a single generation of eating industrialized foods things that were canned, things that were bottled, things that were baked, things with sugar in it, single generation fifty percent of the population will have crooked teeth that didn't have it before. Crooked teeth are indicative of having a mouth that's too small for your face. Teeth have nowhere to grow in, so they grow in crooked. What else is a problem with having a mouth that's too small for your face? You have an airway that's too small, you aren't able to breathe properly. So we can see that exact point.”

“There was no stopping evolution. Evolution means change throughout time. It does not mean progress. So when people use the word evolution to mean we're evolving better and we have these better capabilities, that's not what the word actually means. It's change throughout time. And we can change for better or for worse. And for the past few hundred years, we have been changing for the worse. This is not my opinion. This is a scientific fact. So it comes back to that question, why? Why would an animal change for the worse? And it goes back to my answer the environment. We can trace the exact point that our faithful structure started growing in this deform way to make us less susceptible to healthy breathing to that changed in such a way.”

“You come in and your doctor assesses your health, listens to your heart, maybe looks at your cholesterol, they're not looking at your breathing. And this is especially important for kids. I cannot tell you how many hundred thousands by now of parents have written me. Their kids are on all these different pills, none of them are doing anything. They have ADHD. They're flunking out of school, and I am astounded that more pediatricians and more doctors aren't looking into this because so many millions of kids are suffering because of their breathing is so terrible and been so terrible for so long that their bodies are now rebelling against them.”
