Most people listening are doing it right now — and have no idea. In this episode I share the moment at the lowest point of my life that changed everything, and the shocking thing I found out about my own breathing that had been quietly feeding my anxiety disorder for years. You'll learn the top 3 problems mouth breathing causes: why it puts your nervous system into survival mode, why it's behind your afternoon brain fog, and the surprising reason it's waking you at 2am. Then the top 3 benefits of nasal breathing for calm, clarity and confidence — plus the free \"wonder drug\" your body makes that you only get if you keep your mouth shut. I've just come back from training with world-leading breathing expert Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage , and what I learned means I'm rebuilding my own practice from the ground up. Patrick joins me this autumn. Simple steps to make the switch. One piece of homework. Start today. In this episode: mouth breathing and survival mode · the carbon dioxide myth · why you're waking in the night · nitric oxide · how to become a nasal breather · nasal strips and mouth taping (and who shouldn't) · free 5 and 10 minute breathwork sessions Educational content, not medical advice. Speak to a clinician before changing your breathing practice if you have a diagnosed respiratory, cardiac or sleep condition.
