You’ll learn simple tools like the nose unblocking exercise , small breath holds , and the control pause —plus why mouth breathing can worsen inflammation, sleep, and dental health. Patrick also shares clinical evidence showing reduced coughing, wheezing, and medication use with the Buteyko method.
