James Nestor - Can you BREATHE yourself skinny? (and other "breath truths" - revealed) | Ep112

James Nestor, author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, says we can reduce - or even REVERSE - asthma, anxiety, psoriasis, and much more, all by simply changing the way we breathe. On today's episode, he and I are going to discuss how your lungs affect your weight, whether inhaling or exhaling is more important, and the role FOOD has had on our breathing (and even the shape of our skulls). We'll also discuss the breathing technique that may reduce inflammatory markers 40-fold within a matter of weeks!

Breathing technique 31:46, sleep on left to digest

[@technohammer6751]

You're a hero

[@KJB0001]

the SKINNY part: 22:05. Lungs aspirate fat, but don't go out and hyperventilate. Over breathing initiates cortisol so only exercise at the rate that you can breathe thru your nose. Panting is bad. Work up to hard workouts or you're spinning your wheels as cortisol is the Fat Storing hormone.

[@1234abcd...]

Yes breathing properly is incredibly important. Funny comment but I played trumpet for years and when I stopped I started getting anxiety! I am sure it is the breathing that made the difference.

[@roxannemoser]

We did breathing exercises in music class in the early 80s. My lung capacity was amazing and weighed 110 lbs when I graduated.

Great Dr Gundry I'm very proud to listen to your broadcast.,sleeping on Rt side is one of the most clear instructions of Muslims. From the prophet mohamed peace be upon him. Thank you very much

[@lionelmerbles9375]

Re- tumo breathing- I spent a very cold night on the Cullin ridge on Skye-. No tent or sleeping bag- instinctively felt warmer with strong deep breaths. That was the longest night of my life!

[@davidfavela5275]

This podcast should be on all schools plans 👏

[@lovewithoutborder6051]

I have been breathing through my nose the last three days and my blood pressure has been stable. Thank you for the information about breathing 🙏

[@johnhlas3762]

Read James' book, "Breath". Incredibly fascinating. Game changer if true. Interested to find out.

[@cristinadriviera8144]

John Hlas+ I spent all day today, for the first time just paying attention and breathing through my nose and I can honestly say I feel different in one day!

[@ha1oo2replay]

Interesting talk, look into Dr. Buteyko breathing method too

[@courtneychapotel8893]

Thank you, Dr. Gundry! As a decades long sufferer of recurrent sinusitis, I have found this podcast (as I find all of your podcasts) absolutely fascinating! I truly appreciate that you focus on the oral microbiome as well as the gut microbiome and overall health. Keep the great interviews coming!

[@stellagong1038]

Like it. I feel great learning a little bit of health related knowledge from Dr. Gundry’s weekly Podcast. Thank you very much Dr. Gundry!!!

[@dogie1070]

It’s so nice to hear your greeting! Sitting up straight, Ready to 👂listen

[@ethimself5064]

Sleeping on either side thing: When I was 14 or 15 yrs old I noticed that I could control my dreams to a point, all by accident. Any dream I was having and happened to wake up briefly - If I went back to sleep on my left side The dream I was having would carry on, more that once if I woke up briefly again. If I deliberately went back to sleep on my right side on on my back this would not happen. I figured that this was likely due to gravity and blood flow to my brain. What the heck, I thought I would mention this

[@Draziell]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing

[@higherresolution4490]

IF you read Dr. Weston Price's book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration", the point made is that refined foods of the 20th century produced the problems discussed in this podcast; particularly skull and mandible sizes. These problems also appear during times and in countries where diet is based on grains, from the ancient Egyptians, to the European "Dark Ages", to England of the 18th and 19th centuries (if not earlier).

[@ligiasommers]

I used the tape technique and LOVED IT !! Thank you so much 🙏🏻💖🌷

[@jackd.ripper3139]

Great job Gundy!!!I have to take notes when I’m listening to you and your guests you rock, Gundry!!!😎

[@tagreedmohammed4877]

A lot of new info ! I appreciate your efforts. May thanks for both of you.

[@irishelveston4236]

Thanks for the reminder to breathe properly. It helps me to prepare for sleeping / meditation.

[@jeanieygh]

Thkq Dr G for another fascinating interview. Love your wonderful sense of humour in all yur podcast🥰

[@SA-ju1zu]

Wow! Thank you Dr Gundry and Mr James Nestor! This is really helpful information. I look forward to getting the Breath book. I like to lay on my right side initially when I lay down, but I move to the other side after a few minutes. There is a reason for this as you have discussed. Dr Gundry’s protocol and supplements have really helped me. My A1c is 5.1 ! I love eating the lectin free way!

[@peggydid]

Fabulous! I'm getting this book!

[@anabanana6480]

Amazing episode, thanks!

[@cecileb.2207]

Thank you so much for this important information.

[@jamesbetton9428]

Great stuff Dr. keep up the good work👍🏾

[@BarbaraWilcox1]

More spectacular help! Thank you

[@donnac3727]

Excellent talk I'm definitely buying the book. I really enjoy and appreciate your Podcasts. I have the Longevity Paradox and can't wait to purchase the Energy Paradox.

[@didikreeck1886]

Dr. G., Thank you so much for always keeping us informed what’s going on around us and all the information related to health. I subscribed your podcast for a while now and really enjoy listening to you talk all thing health when I run, cook, drive, do errands and sometimes, work. Now there is all this talk about the urgency to take the flu shot this year to avoid 'twin pandemic'? I would like to hear your take on this? Have you ever taken any flu shot? What's the effectiveness of the flu shot? Do you recommend taking flu shot this year? Also, will you get the COVID vaccine when it's available? I hope to hear your recommendation on the podcast or KZbin soon! Thank you, Dr. G.

[@lindagrillo5272]

Thank you James! I plan to share this podcast with my snoring 😴 husband.

[@vlastafe]

Dr.Gundry; you are looking great!!!

[@jtsays429]

I use a breathe meditation to go to sleep, works great.

[@brucehutchinson9527]

Joe Rogan had James Nestor on his podcast as well.

[@ethimself5064]

This breathing system and the Iceman system would produce near super humans as far as health is concerned. Although the Iceman system is kinda hard to do as an understatement. This information is beyond any Allopathic Medicine I have ever heard of. Kudos to the both of you. 👍👍 I would give more thumbs up but in reality I only have two. Rock on guys

[@williammillar8244]

one of the best ive heard in year s really interesting gives you reality to your show

[@lucysoliman9134]

I like your sense of humor

[@marcial2347]

Very interesting. I was watching both you (Dr. Gundry) and James Nestor when you were talking and noticed that a lot of air was taken in via mouth when both of you were talking. Maybe practicing talking on the out-breath and then taking in air through the nose before continuing to talk again (another words not breathing through the mouth even when talking), would result in a worthwhile habit.

[@patrioticoath1376]

On the subject of nose/mouth breathing... we were taught in my group in the Marine’s was that if you are working out hard you breath in through your nose out through your mouth to ensure your brain is kept cooler; the air flow through the nostrils goes so close to the brain it works as a radiator cooling the cranial fluid and the brain. Now, if the outside temperature is ‘above’ the body’s temperature example 99+ degrees then it is best to breath in and out through the mouth. It definitely works to improve your endurance when marching or running

[@susydyson1750]

ive adapted my breath and the results although in my case slight still notorious sleeping as well

[@crispy9870]

Hello Dr. Gundry, are frozen fruits which are picked in season safe to eat and if so, how do I know they are picked in season? Thanks for your work :)

[@TheCarolynrose]

Thank you. 💕💕💕

[@celesteschacht8996]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@allanapinkerton]

This was great. Do you think this will help people who seem to suffer with sinus pressure when the weather changes?

[@Hilda7573]

Hi Dr. Gundry! I live in Brazil and I started your Plant Paradox protocol. In fact I am in the second week of phase 2. But I forgot to limit my ingestion of olive oil and I have about 7 or 8 table spoons per day. Can I start to limit in the third week? And how many table spoons per day am I supposed to take? And when can I increase to 8 table spoons?

[@utsandstone]

Well, see YT video by Ruebin Neerman. Exhaling Carbon (has mass and weight) Dioxide is where the fat goes. - How breathing and metabolism is interconnected.

[@patkonelectric]

What about the workers that are forced to wear a face mask for 8 hours? Will that cause health problems?

[@itsrainingcatsanddogs2651]

Yes that would be interesting to Know

[@lizmclean5342]

How could it not cause problems .A mask is a germ factory.I would have serious problems within 2 days

[@RyanRJ]

Thank youuuu👍👍

[@vivianrios6007]

Interesting. 🤔🙏🏼

[@stevevanslyke4294]

Excellent info again Dr. Gundry. I've been a follower of the Russian martial art of Systema. At first I was skeptical about the power of breathing.

[@eransful]

What about reversing therapy technique? What do you think about it?

[@gijoyjoy]

I'm still not clear if exhaling with your mouth is equally as bad as inhaling through the mouth. I've always been taught to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Is that wrong?

[@denisegaliano6724]

I have heard alot about breathing and try to incorporate it I my day. Hard, have to really think about it. One thing, do you exhale through mouth or nose

[@abumnm]

Nose of course...

[@bubi8809]

Read the book from Douglas Graham 80/10/10 and book from Arnold Ehret Mucusless diet.

[@gerrydunne5600]

Do we exhail thru our mouth or nose?

[@marco6636]

Isn't sleeping on your right side better for your heart ♥

[@pukabowers4353]

Dr. Gundry sounds like Fred Willard.

[@marsekellombatti6280]

So if you never needed braces then you're breathing is fine?

[@captainamericaamerica8090]

I THINK WE CAN 😊😀😄😄💪👊👊🐯🐯🐯👑👑👑

[@JM-pv8vt]

I know people who breath through the nose all the time night and day and they are sick with many helth problems

[@charleswilson8897]

As soon as I started sleeping with a bite guard, (an inexpensive commercial one), my snoring disappeared. I am one of the lucky ones, as it doesn’t work fore everybody.

[@dietisgreat]

Why would you go to sleep with a mouthgaurd do you think Mike Tyson is going to punch you while you sleep?

[@KajsaBlom88]

I saw that on Amazon. I have sleep apnea. I’ve removed two wisdom teeth still on my 30’s. I’m obese though. Can’t remember why we lost energy through breathing aka weightloss and not farting for example but this is fun background info. 🤔

[@mcmacshalfilya]

You take my breath away 🌬️

[@Nutri-syeon_art]

19:30 runner need to breathe in nose

[@minelixmorales6301]

Positional therapy and elevation is useful in sleep therapy but nasal breathing has nothing to do with it because the obstruction occurs in the back of throat and palate, mouth opening happens because your airway is obstructed. Giving people advice like train yourself to keep your mouth closed to cure apnea is dangerous in my opinion.

[@rachelrasmussen1101]

Obviously the biggest 2020 question this arises- how do masks affect this?

[@patkonelectric]

Obviously answer is, it's very bad and they can't say so because KZbin will ban them and delete their accounts.

[@allanapinkerton]

It’s definitely better for me to breathe through the nose when I wear a mask. If I mouth breathe I get a very dry mouth.

[@dietisgreat]

@@allanapinkerton I breath in with my ears
