I have worked on nasal breathing for the last 3 days, taping my mouth shut at night. 1. My sleep pattern has improved. 2. I was up before the alarm and get up. 3. I don't feel tired during the day.
4. Up and down 3 fights of stairs, no breathlessness. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is making a difference to my life.
Have bought the book. The improvement continues, I hope to apply this to my singing. Only through starting lessons did I realise something was not right.
didn't the tape get loose from the lips while sleeping ? as lips may get easly wet
Thanks for sharing.
My cycling times have increased by listening to you.... I make sure i breath thru my nose and exhale. I went from 30 miles to 60 miles with lots of good energy left. When i climb a hill during this time i do the same and i find it much easier to climb when i relax...Thanks Patrick....
Thank You Very Much !!!
You solved my puzzle question which hinders me for so many years. I am 4 time cancer survivor. During my last cancer surgery recovery, one of the nurse told me that my oxygen intake is too low. She told me to breathe more.
No doctor ever told me that in my 67 years.
But, you have.
Thank you very much.
I now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Shut up man 😂😂😂
Holy fuck. I can’t believe I’ve gone all my life without this channel. This guy is a true life saver.
If breathing through my nose we easy I would do it more often! I've been following Dr. McKeown's advice for about a month now. But here I sit with a massive sinus congestion and can't pull any air through my nose except for about 3 minutes after I do his nasal decongestion method of holding my nose and breath while nodding my head. This technique works, but only for about 5-10 minutes, then I get congested again. I tape my mouth shut but rarely wake up still breathing through my nose. I also have really bad nasal collapse during physical exercise. I tried wearing breathe rite strips, silicone nasal expanders, and more. Still can't breath enough through my nose without super concentrated exertion. Even while sitting on my couch reading a book I have to really concentrate on pulling air through my nose. After a while I just give up bc its too much work. Like, I literally have to just sit and concentrate on physically pulling air through this tight valve.
UPDATE 3 weeks later: My nearly life long symptoms of chronic rhinitis have nearly cleared up in the past 2 weeks without ANY medication!! What made the difference I think was passing above a 20 second BOLT score. My initial BOLT score was around 12 and now its above 20 after practicing the breath hold techniques outlined in the book for about 6 weeks! If my symptoms stay clear, I can absolutely attribute it to the Oxygen Advantage breathing techniques!! Thank you soooo much Dr. Patrick McKeown and Middle Finger to all the other Doctor's who suggested just taking a ton of drugs, allergy shots, and everything else that never worked. HAHA. I've become an Oxygen Advantage Evangelist now, I'm giving away about books to all my family members and friends.
@kevin Devine try changing your food habits,foods which cause congestion!
I can suggest expose yourself to the cold shower at the end of your hot shower that dramatically improved my nose functioning 👍🏻
Hallelujah
I found that putting a slice or two of Lemon into water that has just boiled, letting it cool a bit & drinking it helps with congestion. This should be taken first thing in the morning.
Kevin Devine try an enzyme called Serrapeptese. You probably won’t get it in chemists or health food shops. You have to get it on the ‘net. Read up on it. I am an asthmatic and this enzyme taken strictly according to the instructions reduced my nighttime asthma.
Was good to hear Wim Hof admit that whilst he recommends his own style of breathwork in the morning, that we should probably breath through our noses most of the day.
Funnily enough that is what I've been doing for 2 years now. Took a while to adapt to nose breathing post exercise effort, but now it's become the most effective way to recover.
Thank you sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Inhale and exhale from the nose?
@@rosendoperez6677inhale in & exhale out thru the nose, pass gas thru the tooter.
Excellent information as I have been practicing to learn a deep breathing way of life. I am recently out of the hospital with congestive heart failure and acute anemia and so I need that oxygen.
Excellant lesson for good health and God bless you and basal breathing is teaching in yoga class and Bundle of thanks
Putting your method into a practice. Thanks!
Thank you SO MUCH for your help. My breathing is so poor....
Especially at NIGHT TIME. I awake at night time and notice, that I hardly breath at all😐
My poor heart has to work hard to move blood to get more oxygen from it...
Because of anxiety, my nasal ways are very much narrowed. I am living in ‘freeze’ way!! (‘Fight, flight or freeze’)
I have CFS, so, cannot do exercises🙄
Thank you Patrick for your advice and pleasant delivery always so helpful
I’m taping my mouth every night now and my wife has noticed I don’t snore anymore, she also has started to tape up every night. You just have to get your conversations out of the way first!!🤗
Very interesting... certainly less arguments!
How do you actually tape it? Materials? Methods?
PC LOAD LETTER you can buy them online but any light tape does just cut enough to tape the center of your mouth 👄
I feel breathless with taping my mouth during sleep esp in winters, as soon as I lie down on bed my nose gets blocked 😒
I asked fb who else taped their mouth and a friend thought it was preposterous and said I could die from congestion or food poisoning if I vomited in my sleep. What do you guys think?
Thank you sir. It is very hard breathing thru the nose the 1st few days an weeks. But like u said 6 to 10 week period.
Every breath you take, every move you make, every step you take...
I’ll be watching you. Best stalker song ever
I would add one small aspect to this and that is the unconscious tendency of many of us to constantly tension the stomach muscles, specifically because we're ashamed of our gut/belly. It's a societal issue. But if your stomach muscles are tense, and in many ppl this is the situation 24/7 because the body shame is so deeply embedded in the psyche, your diaphragm will not move freely, you'll breathe via the upper chest, and that in turn leads to mouth breathing. It's a vicious circle that is not easy to break. Also, wearing restrictive clothing will interfere with deep breathing.
The ironic thing is, sucking in your gut doesn't fool anyone but yourself. Just relax and accept your shape. You'll breathe better and feel better and that is what other people will notice about you 😊
You deserve an award!
perfect video, informative and short and to the point
Thanks a lot for a good video patrick 👍Eric hart from the uk 🇬🇧
I'm a biggest fan of Ben Stokes from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
great advice very well delivered
Interesting. I am up for improving my running and looking at running but just breathing through my nose.
I found you only a few days ago and you hit a bell for me - I am now finding I am focusing on breathing through the nose - its so clear I do not usually and I sometimes feel oxygen deprived or that I have not breathed in enough - but I am not backing away and opening my mouth - the bad habit will be broken. Thank you for the information - why isn't this given more air play and doctors not focusing on it?
Great Video. This kind of breathing through the nose helps the body send off endorphins. Helps up speed up by slowing down .
Brilliant .
I am now more conscious !
I TRY to race up my local hill, it requires 350 wats for 10 minutes....beathing and heart rate are at vo2 max...i dont have any control of anything at that level of exertion
Very interesting, thank you for sharing. I like breathing through my nose but it must be horrible if you have continuous nasal congestion.
It certainly can John,
That's why we advise daily nose breathing exercises to train the body to breathe through the nose permanently.
We also have exercises to unblock the nose quickly, (th-cam.com/video/cU4ls5ku4Rg/w-d-xo.html) but for long term change, daily exercises and breathing through the nose as much as possible is the way to go.
I love your videos! Thank you
Patrick, do you need to have music in the background? It's so nice and relaxing to hear your gentle, soothing voice. The music could be more helpful. It isn't very pleasant. I consider your knowledge and guidelines so important that I must put it with disturbing music.
Thank you sir, for the worthy advise and insight.
Patrick I’m doing the oxygen advantage classes! What causes lung burning and pain under the ribs and to mid back area, after long Covid issues. The pain is unbearable when I get flares.
Thanks, Patrick, great info!
I have a question can you tag me and maybe make a video on exhaling with the mouth or nose. When I was younger I was told to exercise in the nose out the mouth
Thank you, dr. McKeown. An extraordinary technique for improving oxygen intake in our blood. I am applying it.
Don't think he's a doctor...
@@stevejodoin9937 No but he is better than most doctors.
Try bandha breathing from the yoga practice to optimize and maximize o2 uptake
Thank you. From today I will always endeavour to breed tru my node.
😂
excellent
Greetings, Patrick. I'm scheduled for an open heart triple bypass in 2 weeks. I found you on TH-cam and then bought your book The Oxygen Advantage. I've been nasal breathing since then and also most of the sleeping time.
Here's my question: I want to increase the PO2 that goes into my heart as my 3 coronary vessels are 90%+ blocked. So, the heart is receiving less (a lot less) oxygenated blood. By doing the 6 breaths/minute and breath holds, will it jack up the PO2 of the heart blood? I figure a higher amount of oxygenated blood into my poor heart will help a lot. I was getting Angina attacks just with walking 50 feet. Since then, I practice the long, slow diaphragmatic breathing and 6 second breath hold when doing anything but sitting down. Thanks for all you do! Cheers, Bob (from Syracuse, NY).
You're 2 days away from triple bypass surgery, now?
How about don't do anything without consulting with your doctor first!
Thank you.
i do not get why my teeth hurt when i tape my mouth. it does not touch my teeth, how is it possible?
What about when you have deviated septum
Can anyone tell me how to get tape on my mouth. I have tried all kinds I always wake with the tape off.
Does this include during exercise as well? With each repetition?
This is coherent breathing which can be quite impactful for HRV. Understand on breathing in thru the nose but what about exhalation. My experience thru HRV is that HRV improves thru the mouth. Thoughts?
Thank you for information please
I have to do wim hoff through the mouth, two, I try running and only breathing through the nose, its tough to do!
Oh can't you see, you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
When exercising should I breathe through the nose, and out of the mouth 👄 or nose 👃 in+out.?
I can’t get enough Oxygen in me if I breath through my nose, i also struggle with running just breathing through my nose. So much easier for me when I mouth breath and I can get more in. I just do the Vim Hoff breathing that seems to get loads of oxygen in me . Must be something wrong with my nose airways if you guys find it easy to deeply nose breath.
Same here. I breathe through my nose for about 1 minute and I'm gasping for air when I run.
Richard Malone Ah so it’s not just me then, that’s a relief. 👍
@@k2ashley I guess we're not all the same.
I find it hard too but it's getting easier. I think practice is key and getting into a rhythm is a must!
Zam weazle Thanks Zam, I will give it a go.
Great, thank you. 🙏🐕🇺🇸
Thanks...but my nose mostly stuff so i mostly brethe through my mouth...any advice??
Excelente. Gratidão
Does thst mean breathing out through your nose on the exhale too?
Can I incorporate breath holding into more weighted intense exercise, such as boxing? Example, 10 to 15 minutes into my shadow boxing, I exhale and hold your breath (using nose clip), I do 10 to 40 reps of 5-lb dumbbell punching, following the breath hold, I continue to shadow box with nose breathing for about 1 minute, until my breathing has partially recovered.
Yes, of course, You can incorporate breath holding on the exhale into the above. That works too.
@@OxygenAdvantage it is nonsense,there is no decent evidence for the butekyo method specifically and I have checked every reputable medical resource
@@scarred10 This is not about the Buteyko Method. This is about nasal breathing, functional breathing, cadence breathing. Look to the evidence of the functionals of the nose, bohr effect, heart rate variability- 5.5/6 breaths per minute. This is what I teach.
@@scarred10 From one Paul to another, relax and breath in thru your nose.
I snore through my nose as well. How do I stop this?
I've found that taking walks with my anti-viral mask has made me become more aware of my breathing since it makes respiration more difficult. It is good practice for me to really envision taking in the correct amount of air I need. I can then take this with me throughout my day when I don't wear the mask.
Why do you take a walk with an anti-viral mask?
George Davison it is considered polite to wear masks when in public. Not to mention I am immunocompromised and wear mine for extra protection and security from those who don’t wish to participate in proper social distancing.
@@alyssaa3999 The sole purpose of breathing is for the magnetic iron in your blood to capture the 8 electrons per oxygen atom to distribute electricity through the body, once your cells lose sufficient electrical charge they die, decreasing your oxygen intake by even small amounts daily can shave years off your life
@@georgedavison9973 Because they know no better..
@@StellaAsh If this made any sense I might say maybe, and only if I were wearing a mask 24/7 which I am not. Wearing a mask during a global pandemic when I am around others whom I do not know will harm neither myself nor them. @George Davison if I didn't know better, how am I still able to surmise that I am doing something for my fellow human by wearing a mask? Wearing a mask MAYBE 20-60 minutes out of my day is nothing if it means I am keeping others SAFE. I only wish everyone would do the same IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS. EVEN if they don't believe there is such a thing as Covid, EVEN if they believe they are losing a minute amount of essential oxygen for themselves for the few minutes they wear a mask. Not to mention the at-risk population who have to go to work in the public sphere where others choose not to wear masks for their protection. To make a living. How selfish not to want to wear a mask for minutes out of an entire day if it means keeping others safe. Although I know this is a pointless comment as people who can't see the self-possession in their comments rarely know better themselves. :/
At rest I generally nose breathe naturally. I'm a runner and I cannot nose breathe when running. I just cannot get enough air in and have to mouth breathe. Any tips?
Won't your red blood cells increase? or is there still enough volume of o2 with what we breath in? thx in advance
How about when both of your nostrill is blocked nearly most of the time?is impossible to force yourself to breath throght your nose any advice on that?
There's a video he did on unblocking your nose
Well I just tried it and there is in fact no diaphragmatic difference between nasal and mouth breathing. Tapping into smell is very beneficial, but nasal breathing doesn’t make a difference in any other way.
Think about it. It’s just the difference between having your tongue on the roof of your mouth or not. Why would that make a difference to your diaphragm?? It doesn’t. Try it out yourself. “Just get it in” - Wim Hof
Also, slow breathing is good and it might get more oxygen in, but that isn’t the primary benefit. The primary benefit to slow breathing is the same benefit you get from slowing down anything to you do. It deactivates fight or flight
If your into exercise for example running, then breathing in through the nose is very beneficial. Try it for a few weeks. Also breathing in through nose out through mouth(For example 3sec in 2sec out) distributes your body weight evenly. Tests have been done so have a look for them.
Very helpful! Now you should remove the annoying music, thanks!
I also am distracted by the music everyone thinks needs to be playing while they talk! Music everywhere even in stores and parking lots! Ugh
I am too lazy breathing using my mouth..
You're not lazy @bdanimation2801, you're just a representative of about 50% of the modern adult population.
Some simple exercises can help change that. 😀
Thanks for the comment.

when we breathe through our nose do we breathe out through mouth or nose
It doesn't matter
👌🏼🤚🏼thanks!
Great I breath too much thru my mouth I will change that habit you know your nose has anti viral cells that help kill viral cells but mouth breathing has no such defense
From all the changed positive mouth breathers, I had better go get some micropore tape ASAP, ( from a chemist?) and start taping my. mouth.
Instead of boring us with long technical explanations, why don't you tell HOW to do breath with the diaphragm?
be did Breath thru your nose
Can you tape the mouth with a mustache and beard??
Freedivers do all their breathup through their mouths, and are using all three phases of breathing properly( diaphragmatic, intercostal, and subclavian)
i dont want plastic on my nose >:(
Whos here after getting the new Apple watch?
Sounds nutty as can be
It's scientifically proven to work ,it was discovered by the Russian ,Dr Buteyko .Patrick trained under him
I hardly open my mouth when I’m breathing I’ve justified noticed that now since I found your dream Patrick I’ve copd
Patrick,
Thank u so much for the great books and your channel. Thanks to TH-cam I know about you! Great channel
Thank you for your feedback. Patrick
Excelente. Gratidão
you changed my life for the better thank you so much Patrick! Anxiety, insomnia, panic disorder all decreasing thanks to you and James Nestor
What kind exercise you do?
How???!! Please tell
Hold your breath
Thank you. No one else has ever mentioned this to me in the way that you did. I often hear people saying to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, but never understood the difference - and so never took it seriously. I had always thought that the air went to the same place.
been breathing through my nose ever since i first saw this video (about 2 years ago) and i have been feeling great ever since! Well, there has been one drawback... but maybe i shouldnt sa...I smell all the farts now. Mine, yours, that guy over there, his dog's... all of them. Anyway, thanks again for the tips! It's worked wonders:)
You've just gone from being a Smart Feller to a Fart Smeller. That's quite the 180.
Wow. Talk about the right resource at the right time. This explains so much for me. About a year ago I began a powerful body-focused meditation practice: Judith Blackstone’s Fundamental Awareness Process. Along with other notable positive effects, my breathing began slowing down more and more during meditation. Small, quiet diaphragm breaths with longer and longer intervals in between. Felt like I could just stop breathing. Pretty uncanny. At first this phenomenon happened only during meditation, but now it’s going cross platform. Under moderate exertion (like walking briskly up a hill) I’m beginning to be able to dial back my respiration. Just kinda happened the first time-a bit unsettling. Patrick Mckeown’s introduction to the O2 Advantage program explains what’s behind the breathing changes I’ve been experiencing. Look forward to diving in deeper. Thank you.
DJGrumpy! Have you ever tried the Silva Method for a meditation? I did it for years and quit because I got too busy. Helped with distance running.
I’m back into it again! Deeper and deeper!
My nasal passage is quite narrow, it gets blocked with mucous also. A life saver has been Neti with water and then after much hesitation I started doing sutra Neti. I decided to tackle my bad breathing technique a few days ago. Though I breathe by the nose I realised i was taking too many breaths per minute and I decided to lower this number. Watched a few videos to see whether I was on the right track, but this was the only one which answered my queries.
The netti pot was a life saver for me several years ago . In the mean time I have discovered my allergy to dairy was causing most of my problem. Dont need netti anymore. Am learning to use Patrick's closed mouth technique even while heavy exercise. Getting better. I have problems with small air sacs due to damage when I was a very young child. Bronchitis and pneumonia. At 71 I'm really getting better thanks to keto and trying to learn about food allergies.
Jfyi baking soda in warm distilled water breaks up sinuse congestion ,
So to summarise, we have to breathe in and out only through our Nose right? Please can someone confirm
I REALLY LOVE ALL NEWS FROM YOU TUBE ,I learnt lots on every subject ,thank you very much ,the drs and instructors are a great bunch ,God bless you all :)
Brilliant insight! Thank you!
Hi Patrick,
Thank you for all the infos, I've been sleeping few months with Mouth tapping.
And was wondering, as I am most of the time home, while watching TV, can I also mouth tape in order to breathe through my nose only? And, am about to start walking exercise, to loose weight, does this mean also breathing through nose only?
Thanks a lot!!
While awake you needn't tape your mouth shut. You keep it shut by being mindful to breath thru your nose. Eventually it replaces the habit that isn't ideal with the one that is.
Great info
Thank you Patrick !
Thank you for this insightful presentation on the subject of nasal breathing especially during this time of covid. I have learned a lot and will share this information to my family and friends.
very good video, I also remember, how as a kid, I used to breath to belly always- now only, when I decide to do so.
I'm a mouth-taper now too. I'm sleeping longer, feeling more benefit when I wake... without a dry mouth. I'm working on my slow inhalations ( 6 when I stopwatch it). Thank you so much for explaining things so simply for us. Bless you Patrick!
Thank you, Bob.
The background music is disruptive. We can't listen to the message
Thank you I have found your explanation as to why we should breathe through our nose , most helpful, and will share on Facebook and to all my loved ones , best wishes from Perth WA , Joan age 88 , vegan is my beautiful healthier kinder lifestyle too !
Thanks for saving the animals! 😊 I think his info is really important, too. People don't realize how much our oxygen intake affects us.
I don't really know why but I always equated a deep breath with a full breath and I believe many people understand it this way. At least when you tell someone to take a deep breath they will usually take a hearty inhale through their mouth in the upper chest. Even with mouth closed or Even when using diaphragm most people will equate deep with full. I only now start to understand that by deep you actually mean the bottom part of the body which has nothing to do with taking a full breath. Even as a non-native English speaker I am pretty sure 'deep' is a somewhat ambiguous word in this regard and it should simply be described by breathing with the diaphragm or "into the belly". Imo you should emphasize more that a deep breath has absolutely nothing to do with volume and that a deep breath can still be done with low volume. Just my opinion.
great vid, so when I exercise I breath in through the nose but do I breath out through the nose or mouth?
Interesting new info. My nose is slightly restricted, but will still give it a try.
my diaphragm feels crazy right now
Exercises to strengthen the diaphragm can make the muscle feel tired but make sure you don't push too hard too early. Take things gradually.

A Natural process that sometimes we forget.. Thanks for the reminder.. Being n athlete and drummer.. we tend to have more exertion.. and often , esp when cycling.. you need to bring in more 02.. but sometimes in training one is not aware of the bad habits you pick up..
I have always been plagued by elevated stress levels..part if my type A personality..after reviewing this presentation..I again became more aware of my breathing patterns... Having just came off a bad case of Fauci flu..I went back to training regime.. this time with more breath focus..its amazing how just a simple thing can really make a difference.. IM also taking some supplements ...esp creatine...and beet juice..
keeping an exercise routine and I also play didjeeridu .. all make a big difference.. Many thanks.. Cheers Liam
Yes I have been a respiratory therapist and oxygen specialist for over 25 years and he is spot on. I'm also a retired drummer and I noticed that when I used to practice with my mouth closed and breathed through my nose it improved my breathing. This is due to the exertion force pushes more room O2 into the lungs which forces the expansion of the lungs in turn allowing the smaller air sacs to get air they would normally not
@@pabloblanco2656 Hey, I was an RT back in the 1970s. Will be seeing RTs next month after my open heart bypass surgery. Now I'll know how the ICU patients felt when I brought the IPPB machine to their bedside. I gave them a pillow or folded blanket to hold against their diaphragm for better breathing. Cheers, Bob
@@rvnmedic1968 I wish you well on your surgery and recovery
It's an amazing information.
Thank you for the video. Listening to all that yo said, all the benefits that you are speaking about are happening when one inhales through the nose. But what about exhalation- should this also be done through the nose? Or can I exhale through the mouth? The nitric oxide benefit is only happening in inhalation anyway, but in regards to the diaphragm- does exhaling through the mouth will involve the diaphragm less then the nose?
Hi Raaya. Exhalation through the nose helps recover moisture and heat from the exhaled breath. There is a 42% greater water loss exhalaing through the mouth. You should nasal breathe all time. Breathing through your nose facilitates the transfer of nitric oxide from the nostrils to the lungs. Nitric oxide is a naturally occurring gas which has a significant effect on many bodily functions, including the reversal of the build up of cholesterol and plaque in the blood vessels. Breathing gently and slowly through the nose allows greater concentrations of nitric oxide to be picked up by the incoming air for improved blood circulation as well as airway dilation. As you soften your breathing with a slow breath in and a gentle, relaxed breath out, the gases nitric oxide and carbon dioxide will open your airways and blood vessels, allowing more circulating oxygen and improved oxygen delivery to your tissues and organs including the heart and brain.
