Mike, whenever I listen to your videos, especially when they include James Nestor, I'm blown away by the huge amount I always learn from each of you. This video is absolutely brilliant and EVERYONE, especially health care professionals, should listen and take note. For example, who would have thought Rhinitis could be cured by simply humming? 👏

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

oh Ani, thanks so much for those words and for being part of my community, really appreciate you.

[@nigelbiggs3025]

Lots of great advice and information.James knows so much about the breath but I also appreciate the way he doesn’t pretend to have all the answers.

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

hes such a good man, full of wisdom and you're right he says when he doesn't know! so important!

[@lydiahanington1143]

Thanks for this! I so appreciate you asking him to demystify particular topics that I have been really struggling to parse out. I feel a sense of ease with the idea that the science might not have been done yet and it's not a lack of vigor for me trying to find it. I'm fairly new to this channel and I'm happy I found it. Keep it coming!

[@BreatheBeyond]

I love listening to Nestor. So grateful to you Mike for bringing this man back to your wonderful podcast 🙌🏼

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Thanks so much Asche

[@pmeach29]

Great questions from Mike, and interesting responses from James Nestor. I never tire of listening to what these two wonderful guys have to say; there's always something new to learn. Many thanks to you both 😊

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Our pleasure!

[@DeeQu8nT81]

Very helpful. I had used Earthing before in an apt. It did not work. The analysis that I heard from you two makes alort of sense.

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

🫁❤️🙏 thanks for taking the time to comment

[@ambernelson7721]

This is a next level episode with Mr. Nestor. I learned a lot here from both of you and feel reinspired to take a deep exhale. 👌🙏

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

love it, thanks for letting us know :-) please consider sharing the ep with a friend to help them learn also, Mike

[@audreydugan9668]

Ommmmmmmmmn. - humming the Sound of creation

[@nikol7951]

Looking forward to trying out coherence breathing and breath holds!. Thank you for the interview, excellent questions.

[@fooey-mg7br]

Excellent information!

[@nanouka133]

Such amazing quality content from both of you! Thank you for your dedication

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@JJ-qc2on]

Very informative, C02 you never think about this😔 thank you for this podcast. 🙏🙏🙏

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fooey-mg7br]

Mike: I signed up for your newsletter! James: I got your book!

[@truetonorth]

Thank you so much for this podcast.

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Thanks for listening

[@m2the]

Love the wide range of breathing topics. Fascinated by the idea of breathing with emotions and it reminds me of vivation. C02 levels being high indoors explains why I feel so claustrophobic/anxious being inside too long and I'm amazed how other people don't seem to notice any difference and don't go outside much. I definitely need to look into airway exercises, if anyone knows a good KZbin video, please share 🙏

[@jamielynn88]

Fantastic interview! Thank you!

Thank you for this Mike …. a brilliant interview full of excellent new content. Great work as always 👍 🙏😃

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tracyandrews1687]

I love your interviews. I learn something new every time. I have always slept with the window open even when it is cold. However, even though it is an upstairs window, we now have a cat that brings in mice and birds, sometimes live. 🙀The upshot of that is we have to close the window at night and I really do miss the fresh air. we have tried opening other windows in the house but it is not as effective and he can get in them anyway!!

[@Element1fifteen]

Thanks so much. I'll be doing more coherent breathing despite my love for WH.😊

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

❤️🫁🙏

[@sandyzup7113]

Amazing interview! So packed with interesting stuff! :) Thank you!

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@loveezra333]

knowing about your chemoreceptors is crucial because they have far more to do with panic and anxiety that what your personality may be afraid of, because your mind is limited by fear. but fear is courage making itself known another way to look at that, is seeing that the chemoreceptors and nervous system hold the tension we don't face in our hearts. the breath is the way to regain chemical harmony in the body, because every thing you experience is also a chemical process in your physical body I'm 23 and I my job serves the spiritual community where I live. I see breathwork transform more and more lives every day. you wouldn't believe the problems some deep, slow, powerful breaths can solve peace to all

[@loveezra333]

to add to this, last year a friend lent me a copy of Breath and that book provided scientific explanation for all the transformational experiences I've had from my own personal breathwork practise. not to mention the neuroscience data being made popular by folks like Joe Dispenza, illuminating the reality that our natural conscious state is one of naturally psychoactive phenomenon activating that psychoactive material in the pineal gland is one of the things that makes breathwork such a powerful practise for expanding one's mental fortitude, to be able to have bodily sovereignty through breathwork in every waking moment of the dream you're dreaming needless to say, I was stoked to see this podcast go up. cheers for the good work fellas 🤙

[@heather482]

Love Nestor. I have his book and it’s really helping my son and I. Ty ❤

[@Louis-ty8yw]

Do HRV pretty often! And do some humming as well!🎉

[@shama7117]

Could you do a session for the night, around 30 min?

[@freddy_cyclone]

Incredible!

[@TAKEADEEPBREATH]

agreed

[@idasje]

You mentioned sharing some links about breath holding? I don’t see those links below.

[@fooey-mg7br]

I would use a grounding rod for Earthing rather than plugging into a grounded outlet.

[@gregorious123]

Mike - the Coherence scientist you were thinking about was Stephen Elliot i think.

[@jgarcia7664]

Who is the “Tom C” mentioned in the video? Thanks

[@mikeGietExperience]

breath holding on inhale or exhale?

[@jakei.2697]

Lost me when he said "climate change" and that we ourselves contribute -PUKE YUCK

[@Jonathan-yr3so]

Don’t get too rapped up in the data. People went nuts about heart health after we created tech to monitor it. The numbers made people feel as if it was a bigger deal than it is, as if there was a larger increase than there was. But the powers that be will offer play it because they can make money off your fear.

[@idasje]

What i take away from this episode: The best way to breath is coherent breathing, in through the nose and out through the mouth with a little humming. 5-8 breaths a minute according to ancient wisdom. Breath holds can stimulate growing hormones (little bit like fasting). Let’s breathe less and eat less. O yes and try to stay flexible and make the diaframe work properly.

[@julianingram3898]

I'm sorry but what was that at 31:01 😂😂

[@mrcave5750]

"when there is higher CO2 there is almost always lower O2" - is Mr Nestor monitoring O2 levels along CO2? That's a definitely false claim, as far as outdoor O2 levels is concerned since the partial pressure of CO2 is currently 0,04 and therefore cannot have any significant impact on the partial pressure of O2 which is 0,21. Indoors the dynamics could change but that would need a more rigorous examination. Anyways, the interplay levels of O2 and CO2 levels has nothing to do with the burning of fossil fuels, perhaps simply poor indoor ventilation. In any case potentially misleading and potentially dishonest. Then when he claims again then increased CO2 without alterations in O2 levels could be beneficial, that moment made evident that he is totally lost, and he lost me, contradicting his own statements, and even worse, confusing people and the readers of his bestseller book. It's sad to see him embracing the typical prerogative image of CO2 as the waste gas, "70% of humans toxins are purged through the breath" That inevitably induces people to think logically that we share each other's toxins through the breath, which is not necessarily a nice image to stick to your mind Wow, James is really on a different track now, and I wonder why, what are the behind the scenes influences

[@hannahconroy]

Hm, it made quite a bit of sense to me... I didn't see those as contradictory but rather as complementary

[@sisterdiggins]

Breathing backwash , ugh.
