How Breathing Through Your Nose Will Change Your Life with Patrick McKeown

How do you breathe? It might not be something you’ve ever given much thought to, but my guest on this week’s episode is convinced you should. Patrick McKeown believes breathing correctly - that is, through your nose, lightly, and slowly - is the secret to better health, fitness and overall wellbeing. Yet many of us are breathing through our mouths, breathing fast and shallow, and our health is suffering as a result.
Patrick’s talks me through the science of exactly why it is that nasal breathing is so fundamental to health and he shares how learning it himself transformed his sleep, his anxiety levels and drastically reduced his need for asthma medication.
We talk about how our emotions, sleep and breathing are all interlinked. Patrick also shares some incredible insights on the connection between breast-feeding and diet, mouth breathing as a child, jaw development and malocclusion (crooked teeth).
The good news is it’s never too late to correct your breathing. Whether you suffer from breathlessness, nasal congestion, snoring, stress, or anxiety - or if you simply want to improve your performance in any area of life - this episode is packed with practical tips on doing just that. In fact, you can get started right away with some of his techniques as you listen.

As you said, "It's never too late to correct." I'm 70, and for a week, with your help, through Wim Hof, I've been breathing slowly and through my nose. The result: the nasal pathways have become decongested, the hands are no longer cold and numbed, I sleep better and I have more energy and disposition. Good work!

[@irmabronder]

That is so great news. I am so happy for you. Somehow I always thought to breathe in through the nose and breathe out through your mouth. I now make sure I change it. Much love. xx

Fascinating conversation. Not one minute of this conversation did I breath through my mouth.

[@lindaodonnell1754]

At 74 years old I first heard that I was a mouth breather by my dentist last Friday. I have been looking into this all weekend and yes, I do have nasal congestion, terrible insomnia and a host of other age related issues. I have stopped walking for health because I breathe so heavily folks think there is something seriously wrong with me....shallow, rapid breathing and always short of breath. I followed Patrick's nasal passage clearing yesterday and tried to remind myself to nose breathe. I got even braver and put a small piece of tape loosely right over the center of my lips last night!!! I am soooooo thrilled to tell you that I not only slept 9 hours, but I was relaxed and comfortable. I did wake once during that time and found my right nasal passage was blocked, so I unplugged it and replaced the 1" piece of tape across my lips. Fell back to sleep for another several hours...Woke up rested and not in a race to get something to drink because of dry mouth. Thank you, thank you, thank you....I realize this will require a lot of work to switch the way I breathe, but I am convinced that this will make a world of difference in my life!!!!!

[@Joy-ky7vk]

@Linda ODonnell How has it been for you since you first started? Do update.

[@lindaodonnell1754]

@@Joy-ky7vk I really worked at it for a month or so. I used the nose clip for sleeping, and working on proper breathing while trying to do some walking.....then when somewhat better I forgot all about it. The biggest change to my breathing seems to be physical therapy for a long term, severe back issue. As I began exercising I was amazed in the first session when my chest opened up thru exercise I had immediate better breathing....no more wheezing when I first get up out of bed. Very exciting development.

Doctors don't want people to be sick, they just have such high focus on diagnostic, trauma and medication management.

I’m not sure where to begin. Starting with James Nestor I happened upon Patrick. I am a yoga teacher and practitioner for the past 30 years. I have been a nose breather (I believe) for most of my life and have taught my students the importance (thinking it was basically air filtration and the ability to slow the breath down) of nose breathing. I used to be a runner and cyclist as well and for those activities I ALWAYS exhaled out the mouth. Thank you, Patrick for compiling the research so that I can explain with confidence the scientific evidence. My sister recently developed high blood pressure and while she awaits her doctor appointment, I suggested for her to focus on nose breathing. (She, too has asthma and always was a mouth breather). I am excited to dive deeper to integrate this breathing with my clients.

I heard yesterday somewhere about nose breathing. Breathing through the mouth gives stress to the heart. Since then I am looking that I only breath through my nose.

LoL! How will they get funding to write more crap if they don't give you crappy advice so you can buy big pharma medicine for respiratory issues?

Imagine how much pharma has made from them over 7 decades and if one could capture the pain and misery, it'd probably be miles long. Lord have mercy on the people!

[@ngreat4390]

Have you thought that perhaps it was put there deliberately to throw doctors off, thereby making them think it's normal so they can look to medicine as solution instead of asking you to shut up, literally, and breathe?

I was switched to bottle feeding after that. I nearly died from asthma as a toddler. I could not breathe through one nostril, and as a result I slept with my mouth open. I developed sleep apnea. I had to sleep apart from my husband, which was upsetting to me. I am always tired. I find I feel foggy in my brain and feel as though I could fall asleep at any time of the day. I am making myself breathe through my nose, and I am practicing Wim Hof method. If this helps me, it will be like a miracle for which I will be eternally grateful!

Good luck for your health. Take it easy

Hi Dr Rangan, you are a fantastic interviewer. Having first seen your TV series Doctor in the House, I was delighted when I found out you had a podcast. I'm also a big proponent of Patrick McKeown's work and Buteyko Breathing. His work has had a tremendous impact on my fitness and more importantly my general well-being, and I'm sure I will experience further improvement as I continue to practice. His book Anxiety Free is also terrific and highly recommended for those who dwell too much in the past and/or future as opposed to being in the here and now. Apart from praise, the reason I wanted to comment was to make you aware of something which maybe you hadn't realized. While speaking, did you notice that you seem to inhale a lot with your mouth? It's such a habit for many of us, that we do it without thought. I noticed the same thing with myself. One day, when watching a video I had recorded which, ironically talked about the benefits of nasal breathing, I realized, hey, I often inhale with my mouth. During exercise and while at rest including sleep, nasal breathing was fine, but unbeknownst to me til that moment, I was inhaling with my mouth while speaking. It was a real light bulb moment. Thanks for all you do. Best wishes. Andrew

Great comment 👍😁

I’m 24 years old and only just getting a hold of it. As he said, people with depression or anxiety have it harder with breathing. I was one of those people, happily living and over my depression (took 5-6 years of therapy). Now I’m breathing far better and using my nose as much as I can. It’s on and off with sleep but I’m getting there💪🏻

[@catlover5350]

I have been breathing through my nose for the last three days since watching one of your video’s. I have realised that whenever I consciously think about my breathing, I am actually breathing through my nose automatically without trying. Amazing as I have spent decades as a mouth breather. HOWEVER, when I lie in bed I find my nose is stuffy and I slip into mouth breathing again.

[@steelonius]

I just listened to an interview with James Nestor about this. He commented that for millions of Americans their problems are related to poor sleep directly but the fact that they can't breath then trying to get to sleep and the experience of it is very poor. I have a very dry nose and am frequently stuffed up at bed. I notice a pretty big difference in restfulness if I have been able to breath well.

Is he saying that taping the mouth with anything like duck tape for instance or a special tape, I’m not really understanding, could you try to clarify please, Thanks!

[@eliteboxfitness]

Any light tape will do. Nothing aggressive is needed to keep the mouth shout during sleep
