Ohhhh, wow, I so needed this. I lost, in death, first my 20 yr old grandson, then my 42 yr old daughter, then my husband, and then my 94 yr old mom. All in less than three years. Even though I thoroughly depend and rely on God for all things a lot of days I just can't put everything in the proper folder in my brain and heart. I have been following Patrick for a little while now, so I do breathing exercises, it only helps some. I have been practicing breathing exercises for years, but I so appreciate the hard work Patrick does in really showing us and explaining. I will get therapy so I can fully use breathing exercises. Thank you so very much. 😊
Great Interview. I've been seeking after mindfulness meditation since 2015. It was not until 2018 that I focused on 'functional breathwork'. It took about 6 years to become a lifestyle. Since I am a functional medicine practitioner, Breath work has been my gateway to help my patients with stress reduction/nervous system dysregulation using and HeartMath HRV biofeedback. Thank you so much for bringing the science of breath to the understanding of Health, Wellness, and Human Potential. Simplicity of life is always the answer.
Thanks to you Pamela, For 20 years Patrick has been following the science to understand how much functional breathing can benefit our health and mental wellbeing and make it common knowledge. Kind regards, Ronan
Thanks both of you! Can you please give Sources for the Statement in 8:10 regarding Andrew Huberman and the Study between Functional Breathing and Mindfullness?

So much confusion out there on breathing techniques..... Wots best for me mouth or nasal breathing a cold shower is a form of meditation because it keeps you in the moment
Hi James, Nasal breathing is far superior to mouth breathing. Big gulps of air through he mouth only make your breathing worse and increase the chances of hyperventilation. The nose has natural defences like the nasal hairs and mucus. The nose also contains nasal nitric oxide with has antiviral properties. Hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity is inversely related both to acidity and to the concentration of carbon dioxide (Bohr Effect). By learning functional nasal breathing we can decrease the body's sensitivity to carbon dioxide, improving our blood / oxygen levels and boosting performance.
Hi James, We can't speak to other techniques from other providers but stressor exercises can be very beneficial to the body. We have breath hold exercises that are a safe stressor on the body that create a tolerable 'air hunger' with more advanced exercises for more athletic and experienced persons. We don't advise breath holds for those with heart conditions or anxiety/panic disorder, at least not initially as the air hunger might create undue stress or even bring on a panic attack. The body needs to get used to breathing less air as it becomes desensitizied to carbon dioxide, improving oxygen uptake in the blood. We do that by practicing functional breathing exercises daily and wearing MyoTape at night. Regards, Ronan
