Patrick McKeown Breathing Expert - Voices of Meltingpot

First time I heard Patrick was on Bob and Brad's channel. I think that was about 2 years ago. I bought the mouth patches and my two adult kids and myself immediately started using them. My son was a chronic snorer. Would waken up the whole house. His snoring ceased when he wore the patches at night. At this stage now, the only time we open our mouths are to speak or eat. Reduced stress, better sleep patterns. Change in my jawline even. Thank you Patrick for all the good work you do.

Very good talk by Patrick, I've enjoyed all his books and his recommendation that breathing exercises be taught in schools is spot on.

Thank you! Because of you and Mike Maher I was able to stay off of steroids and asthma medications for over a year and a half. I came across the two of you when I was looking for a healthy alternative to medication. I was diagnosed at 61 with asthma. I’m a avid hiker and I was having a hard time on trail breathing. I will admit changing my breathing and doing the breath work exercises was hard at first but in no time became easier. Practice! That’s the key and to be mindful of how your breathing. It hasn’t just helped me with my breathing but many other things as well. What a blessing you both have been to my life. Thank you!! From Utah

Amazing to hear @dorindaalberthal1316. Thanks so much for commenting.

This was excellent. I am training myself to exercise with my mouth closed. It's challenging but better day by day.

Hahaha! What's funny is when you get use to nose breathing, I started to notice if other people do it, I noticed Gus Fring from Breaking Bad did it a lot 😂

Hi Patrick. I’m a Respiratory Therapist and I’m curious what’s your take on Incentive Spirometer since you mention no need to do deep breathing? I honestly been making sure to have everyone breath through their nose

Weightlifting with a closed mouth is also a great way to build CO2 tolerance. There is no lift in a gym that should compel you to mouth breathe. However, "blowing out with your mouth at the exertion" is the throughly-ingrained standard practice in weight training. Every person in a weightroom "who knows what they are doing" does that. I can even think of a bodybuilder, who has worked with a top Oxygen Advantage coach, and guess what this athlete does when he lifts weights? Yes, he blows out with his mouth at the exertion, which is mouth breathing. Weight lifting and mouth breathing makes no sense: it is like you are burning your furniture for fuel when you still had a big pile of tinder just sitting there -- available, but inaccessible.

Hello Patrick, First, why are you condemning deep breathing? You might want to rethink your position on this. Deep breathing is one of many useful patterns for breathing. Why doesn't breathing get more attention? Too many quacks and very few good role models. Peace brother.

[@braveneikonic2231]

@@freeman5354 Quite likely, you are right about that. Peace.

Please define your own deep meaning. One word can be confusing for many people. Medical norms in textbook 4to6 liter per minute. Do you think this volume can be taken to deep or shallow or both? I need to understand first, because I saw many different meanings in different minds.

Patrick does not condemn deep breathing. He condemns deep breathing through the mouth into the upper lungs. A true deep breath is slow and low using the diaphragm through the nose. A quick, long, deep breath through the mouth and into the upper lungs keeps your sympathetic nervous system engaged. The alternative is long, slow and deep through the nose which activates the parasympathetic system - the proper way to calm yourself down.

Hi @braveneikonic2231, @powerplantfilms' comment from below is a good response to your question. "Patrick does not condemn deep breathing.

A quick, long, deep breath through the mouth and into the upper lungs keeps your sympathetic nervous system engaged. The alternative is long, slow and deep through the nose which activates the parasympathetic system - the proper way to calm yourself down." We have no issues with deep breathing as long as it is done correctly. Big gulps through the mouth into the upper chest is not deep breathing. Those are just big gulps of air that lead to over breathing. Hope that helps.

Good response @@powerplantfilms. 😀
