The Insane Benefits Of Cold Showers Everyday For Reducing Stress Anxiety Depress
00:00Wim welcome to the podcast a pleasure to Wim welcome to the podcast a pleasure to have you here I want to jump right in have you here I want to jump right in have you here I want to jump right in and I want to start off with this idea and I want to start off with this idea and I want to start off with this idea that when we look out at Society that when we look out at Society that when we look out at Society a lot of people are struggling and a lot of people are struggling and a lot of people are struggling and there's many different reasons why but there's many different reasons why but there's many different reasons why but one of the reasons why is that it feels one of the reasons why is that it feels one of the reasons why is that it feels we lack resilience as a society can you we lack resilience as a society can you we lack resilience as a society can you talk a little bit about that and why you talk a little bit about that and why you talk a little bit about that and why you feel that cold can be one of the things feel that cold can be one of the things feel that cold can be one of the things to bring that resilience back in to bring that resilience back in to bring that resilience back in uh stress stress comes in many ways uh stress stress comes in many ways uh stress stress comes in many ways there is physical stress of work energy there is physical stress of work energy there is physical stress of work energy loss there is emotional stress mental loss there is emotional stress mental loss there is emotional stress mental stress spiritual stress it is all stress spiritual stress it is all stress spiritual stress it is all resulting in biochemical residue resulting in biochemical residue resulting in biochemical residue it is all resulting finally in it is all resulting finally in it is all resulting finally in being on all the time but not know how being on all the time but not know how being on all the time but not know how to get off to get off to get off and how to get office not only sex and
01:00and how to get office not only sex and and how to get office not only sex and food Indulgence and Cinema no a really food Indulgence and Cinema no a really food Indulgence and Cinema no a really restoring back energy and processing the restoring back energy and processing the restoring back energy and processing the biochemical residue of the stress biochemical residue of the stress biochemical residue of the stress only then we are able to be only then we are able to be only then we are able to be unconditionally okay I just feel okay unconditionally okay I just feel okay unconditionally okay I just feel okay why because you're clean why because you're clean why because you're clean there is flow uninhibited but when there there is flow uninhibited but when there there is flow uninhibited but when there is garbage inside it needs to be is garbage inside it needs to be is garbage inside it needs to be cleansed cleansed cleansed and through our society and Lifestyles and through our society and Lifestyles and through our society and Lifestyles we live in a bubble of comfort we live in a bubble of comfort we live in a bubble of comfort and that Comfort doesn't and that Comfort doesn't and that Comfort doesn't activate our deeper systems activate our deeper systems activate our deeper systems and that uh and that uh and that uh that is the real Soul cause and effect that is the real Soul cause and effect that is the real Soul cause and effect of heaping up of heaping up of heaping up the biochemical garbage
02:00the biochemical garbage the biochemical garbage coming from our daily Duty stress and coming from our daily Duty stress and coming from our daily Duty stress and activities emotionally physically activities emotionally physically activities emotionally physically spiritually mentally spiritually mentally spiritually mentally all accumulating and we don't know how all accumulating and we don't know how all accumulating and we don't know how to regenerate to regenerate to regenerate energy anymore energy anymore energy anymore or that we need a deeper activation of or that we need a deeper activation of or that we need a deeper activation of our systems and there comes in the coals our systems and there comes in the coals our systems and there comes in the coals training and the breathing exercises training and the breathing exercises training and the breathing exercises they are able to tap into the deeper they are able to tap into the deeper they are able to tap into the deeper systems that are able to shut down systems that are able to shut down systems that are able to shut down distressed cortisol distress hormones uh distressed cortisol distress hormones uh distressed cortisol distress hormones uh resulted by all the stress we got resulted by all the stress we got resulted by all the stress we got and only then we are able to switch off and only then we are able to switch off and only then we are able to switch off to switch up and then regenerate the to switch up and then regenerate the to switch up and then regenerate the battery battery battery regenerate our systems process our regenerate our systems process our regenerate our systems process our biochemical residue
03:00biochemical residue biochemical residue process our a non-worked out process our a non-worked out process our a non-worked out traumas traumas traumas inhibitions fears all that needs inhibitions fears all that needs inhibitions fears all that needs processing and that is only possible if processing and that is only possible if processing and that is only possible if we are off when we are off we get into we are off when we are off we get into we are off when we are off we get into the so-called the so-called the so-called parasympathetic nervous system and this parasympathetic nervous system and this parasympathetic nervous system and this was considered in signs impossible was considered in signs impossible was considered in signs impossible by humans and now we found a way to tap by humans and now we found a way to tap by humans and now we found a way to tap into the deep sympathetic and into the deep sympathetic and into the deep sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system which is parasympathetic nervous system which is parasympathetic nervous system which is part which is called the autonomic part which is called the autonomic part which is called the autonomic nervous system nervous system nervous system which was out of our reach and thus we which was out of our reach and thus we which was out of our reach and thus we could not do anything against heaping up could not do anything against heaping up could not do anything against heaping up biochemical stress inflammation biochemical stress inflammation biochemical stress inflammation depression we could not reset our bodies depression we could not reset our bodies depression we could not reset our bodies we have lost the ability because of too
04:00we have lost the ability because of too we have lost the ability because of too much comfort because of no stipulation much comfort because of no stipulation much comfort because of no stipulation of the deeper tissues within the deeper of the deeper tissues within the deeper of the deeper tissues within the deeper organs and systems and now we found the organs and systems and now we found the organs and systems and now we found the way way way you go into an ice bath then it's you you go into an ice bath then it's you you go into an ice bath then it's you who is going into stress who is going into stress who is going into stress you are going into stress and that once you are going into stress and that once you are going into stress and that once you go in you go in you go in after two minutes your body is adapted after two minutes your body is adapted after two minutes your body is adapted adaptive means that the inner systems adaptive means that the inner systems adaptive means that the inner systems are fully at functioning are fully at functioning are fully at functioning naturally the way nature meant it to be naturally the way nature meant it to be naturally the way nature meant it to be and then we become strong from the and then we become strong from the and then we become strong from the inside inside inside and that is able to withstand in daily and that is able to withstand in daily and that is able to withstand in daily life all the stress that is coming to us life all the stress that is coming to us life all the stress that is coming to us we learned how to willfully connect with we learned how to willfully connect with we learned how to willfully connect with these stress mechanisms by going into
05:00these stress mechanisms by going into these stress mechanisms by going into the court and adapt the court and adapt the court and adapt and therefore then suddenly emotional and therefore then suddenly emotional and therefore then suddenly emotional stress physical stress stress physical stress stress physical stress bacterial stress viral stress bacterial stress viral stress bacterial stress viral stress emotional and then and mental stress all emotional and then and mental stress all emotional and then and mental stress all is something else someday is something else someday is something else someday suddenly we have a connection with the suddenly we have a connection with the suddenly we have a connection with the nervous system in the depth and we know nervous system in the depth and we know nervous system in the depth and we know how to shut it down and to turn it on how to shut it down and to turn it on how to shut it down and to turn it on to regenerate and generate to regenerate to regenerate and generate to regenerate to regenerate and generate to regenerate and generate to process the and get and generate to process the and get and generate to process the and get back home process this cleanse and back home process this cleanse and back home process this cleanse and go back on it's all there this is what go back on it's all there this is what go back on it's all there this is what creates disease inflammation creates disease inflammation creates disease inflammation is biochemical residue in the body not is biochemical residue in the body not is biochemical residue in the body not processed processed processed and now we found a way to process it and now we found a way to process it and now we found a way to process it that is preventative medicine even when
06:00that is preventative medicine even when that is preventative medicine even when you having a a condition you having a a condition you having a a condition like arthritis or algae immune or a like arthritis or algae immune or a like arthritis or algae immune or a depression Etc when you go into the cold depression Etc when you go into the cold depression Etc when you go into the cold you learn to reset your body you learn to reset your body you learn to reset your body resetting we lost that because we live resetting we lost that because we live resetting we lost that because we live in a comfort zone Behavior Lifestyle by in a comfort zone Behavior Lifestyle by in a comfort zone Behavior Lifestyle by which we lost the connection with the which we lost the connection with the which we lost the connection with the Deep ability to restore regenerate Deep ability to restore regenerate Deep ability to restore regenerate activate our deeper systems to plants activate our deeper systems to plants activate our deeper systems to plants what has been what has been what has been the result of our workings in the world the result of our workings in the world the result of our workings in the world so that is what I'm doing and I'm doing so that is what I'm doing and I'm doing so that is what I'm doing and I'm doing this with universities and showing and this with universities and showing and this with universities and showing and nowadays with the confusion which exists nowadays with the confusion which exists nowadays with the confusion which exists here right now in the world we have to here right now in the world we have to here right now in the world we have to go to drastic measures drastic measures
07:00go to drastic measures drastic measures go to drastic measures drastic measures means to bring back natural autonomy means to bring back natural autonomy means to bring back natural autonomy in the body and minds and we have found in the body and minds and we have found in the body and minds and we have found the keys we just hand them over the keys we just hand them over the keys we just hand them over through podcasts like this through podcasts like this through podcasts like this anybody who's watching this just try to anybody who's watching this just try to anybody who's watching this just try to do it once do it once do it once and that you feel the difference of and that you feel the difference of and that you feel the difference of having autonomy in the depth or not having autonomy in the depth or not having autonomy in the depth or not there is we hand over the keys there is we hand over the keys there is we hand over the keys the keys to open up to the deeper the keys to open up to the deeper the keys to open up to the deeper control and connection to the deeper control and connection to the deeper control and connection to the deeper systems to cleanse the body to take care systems to cleanse the body to take care systems to cleanse the body to take care of our stress to strengthen us uh of our stress to strengthen us uh of our stress to strengthen us uh consciously by connecting neurologically consciously by connecting neurologically consciously by connecting neurologically with the stress mechanisms inside the with the stress mechanisms inside the with the stress mechanisms inside the brain with our will connected to the
08:00brain with our will connected to the brain with our will connected to the whole of body because we are whole of body because we are whole of body because we are we are built through to be able to we are built through to be able to we are built through to be able to resist stress in any way resist stress in any way resist stress in any way all the millions of years of development all the millions of years of development all the millions of years of development of the human psyche physiology of the human psyche physiology of the human psyche physiology mentally and physically that has mentally and physically that has mentally and physically that has resulted resulted resulted in the absolute heart where in the absolute heart where in the absolute heart where to take on stress in any way only we to take on stress in any way only we to take on stress in any way only we lost the connection with our deeper lost the connection with our deeper lost the connection with our deeper systems through the comfort zone systems through the comfort zone systems through the comfort zone Behavior Behavior Behavior so now it is simply it is back we give so now it is simply it is back we give so now it is simply it is back we give it we share it that's love we want it we share it that's love we want it we share it that's love we want everybody to be having control over everybody to be having control over everybody to be having control over their mood their happiness over their their mood their happiness over their their mood their happiness over their health and over their strength that's
09:00health and over their strength that's health and over their strength that's what we Advocate and we show that what we Advocate and we show that what we Advocate and we show that through the sides more and more but through the sides more and more but through the sides more and more but because it is natural it is not because it is natural it is not because it is natural it is not Pharmaceutical Pharmaceutical Pharmaceutical it is natural doesn't cost anything it is natural doesn't cost anything it is natural doesn't cost anything but breathing is the most direct way to go with it is the most direct way to go with it it's breathing it's breathing it's breathing oh oh oh and very invasive and very invasive and very invasive is going into cold water yeah is going into cold water yeah is going into cold water yeah [Music] [Music] [Music] and then the real physiology wakes up and then the real physiology wakes up and then the real physiology wakes up naturally and then we become in naturally and then we become in naturally and then we become in connection with that and then we learn connection with that and then we learn connection with that and then we learn to be able to take on any stress to be able to take on any stress to be able to take on any stress emotionally mentally spiritually emotionally mentally spiritually emotionally mentally spiritually physically bacterially viral doesn't
10:00physically bacterially viral doesn't physically bacterially viral doesn't matter matter matter the body knows from within how to deal the body knows from within how to deal the body knows from within how to deal with the stress coming on with the stress coming on with the stress coming on there we are that's beautiful I love it there we are that's beautiful I love it there we are that's beautiful I love it let me make sure that I'm connecting the let me make sure that I'm connecting the let me make sure that I'm connecting the dots correctly as a summary for my dots correctly as a summary for my dots correctly as a summary for my audience that's over here too much audience that's over here too much audience that's over here too much comfort in life and life is so comfort in life and life is so comfort in life and life is so comfortable with all these modern comfortable with all these modern comfortable with all these modern trappings that we have leads to trappings that we have leads to trappings that we have leads to stagnation inside of our body and stagnation inside of our body and stagnation inside of our body and garbage build up I'd love for you to garbage build up I'd love for you to garbage build up I'd love for you to talk a little about what maybe that talk a little about what maybe that talk a little about what maybe that garbage is when that garbage builds up garbage is when that garbage builds up garbage is when that garbage builds up there's that stagnation it's only there's that stagnation it's only there's that stagnation it's only natural from there that we're gonna feel natural from there that we're gonna feel natural from there that we're gonna feel stuck we're not going to feel good we're stuck we're not going to feel good we're stuck we're not going to feel good we're going to feel overwhelmed and we need going to feel overwhelmed and we need going to feel overwhelmed and we need nature of course these two modalities nature of course these two modalities nature of course these two modalities that you teach breathing and then also that you teach breathing and then also that you teach breathing and then also cold therapy is essentially the shock to cold therapy is essentially the shock to cold therapy is essentially the shock to bring us back into the present moment bring us back into the present moment bring us back into the present moment and into ourselves and start to get rid and into ourselves and start to get rid and into ourselves and start to get rid of some of the garbage inside
11:00of some of the garbage inside of some of the garbage inside am I with you am I with you am I with you yes so in addition to the stresses that yes so in addition to the stresses that yes so in addition to the stresses that are just part of natural living in our are just part of natural living in our are just part of natural living in our modern society there what are some of modern society there what are some of modern society there what are some of the other garbage you feel that is being the other garbage you feel that is being the other garbage you feel that is being built up inside of the body because built up inside of the body because built up inside of the body because we're exposed to too much comfort so you we're exposed to too much comfort so you we're exposed to too much comfort so you talked about stress is there anything talked about stress is there anything talked about stress is there anything else that's there that's sort of else that's there that's sort of else that's there that's sort of accumulating and getting stuck in our accumulating and getting stuck in our accumulating and getting stuck in our body because we don't have breathing and body because we don't have breathing and body because we don't have breathing and cold as a way to expunge it cold as a way to expunge it cold as a way to expunge it yes uh yes uh yes uh it's very simple and we keep it simple a it's very simple and we keep it simple a it's very simple and we keep it simple a sick person is not able to take on so sick person is not able to take on so sick person is not able to take on so much much much yes yes so when our condition become yes yes so when our condition become yes yes so when our condition become poorer weaker poorer weaker poorer weaker through non-stimulative Behavior which through non-stimulative Behavior which through non-stimulative Behavior which is comfort zone Behavior is comfort zone Behavior is comfort zone Behavior then we become weaker then we become weaker then we become weaker and suddenly that what normally we could and suddenly that what normally we could and suddenly that what normally we could take on makes us sick
12:00take on makes us sick take on makes us sick in the end in the end in the end we are too weak to interact with our we are too weak to interact with our we are too weak to interact with our jobs our work our life our families jobs our work our life our families jobs our work our life our families taking care taking uh controlling our uh taking care taking uh controlling our uh taking care taking uh controlling our uh thoughts fears uh controlling the energy thoughts fears uh controlling the energy thoughts fears uh controlling the energy flow and that we flow and that we flow and that we build up a deficit build up a deficit build up a deficit sneaks in sneaks in sneaks in that's why it's so devious we don't see that's why it's so devious we don't see that's why it's so devious we don't see it it it yes it is there yes it is there yes it is there and for those who have and for those who have and for those who have tiredness burnouts who feel a constant tiredness burnouts who feel a constant tiredness burnouts who feel a constant presence of inflammation low great presence of inflammation low great presence of inflammation low great inflammation inflammation inflammation that is because we do not deeply that is because we do not deeply that is because we do not deeply stimulate our systems and they become stimulate our systems and they become stimulate our systems and they become weaker and then the normal things can weaker and then the normal things can weaker and then the normal things can jeopardize our condition if it is not jeopardize our condition if it is not jeopardize our condition if it is not directly it is over time
13:00directly it is over time directly it is over time and it absolutely is and it absolutely is and it absolutely is all the all these uh autoimmune diseases all the all these uh autoimmune diseases all the all these uh autoimmune diseases they creep in over time they creep in over time they creep in over time because this is a long-term because this is a long-term because this is a long-term low-grade inflammation that means it low-grade inflammation that means it low-grade inflammation that means it never has been really taken care of the never has been really taken care of the never has been really taken care of the garbage garbage garbage I call inflammation it is the cause and I call inflammation it is the cause and I call inflammation it is the cause and effect of any disease effect of any disease effect of any disease too long term garbage inside too long term garbage inside too long term garbage inside inflammation insight inflammation insight inflammation insight is jeopardizing the help the tradition is jeopardizing the help the tradition is jeopardizing the help the tradition your functionality uh your functionality uh your functionality uh breakouts of your organs breakouts of your organs breakouts of your organs of your systems what you do not use you of your systems what you do not use you of your systems what you do not use you lose lose lose that's nature it's the rule of nature that's nature it's the rule of nature that's nature it's the rule of nature so our over developed comfort zone so our over developed comfort zone so our over developed comfort zone extension
14:00extension extension tools serving us tools serving us tools serving us coming from our thinking brain coming from our thinking brain coming from our thinking brain do not necessarily serve our deep the do not necessarily serve our deep the do not necessarily serve our deep the our need for deep stimulation inside our need for deep stimulation inside our need for deep stimulation inside thus it becomes on a standby on a thus it becomes on a standby on a thus it becomes on a standby on a standby it's not strong and that yeah at standby it's not strong and that yeah at standby it's not strong and that yeah at a certain moment you get uh a certain moment you get uh a certain moment you get uh you got yeah organ failures yeah there you got yeah organ failures yeah there you got yeah organ failures yeah there is a deficit that is a they have seen is a deficit that is a they have seen is a deficit that is a they have seen blood flow go into the brain of this blood flow go into the brain of this blood flow go into the brain of this thinking brain 25 more thinking brain 25 more thinking brain 25 more 10 to 25 percent more blood flow inside 10 to 25 percent more blood flow inside 10 to 25 percent more blood flow inside the thinking brain than the rest of the the thinking brain than the rest of the the thinking brain than the rest of the brain brain brain and that is why we do not feel and that is why we do not feel and that is why we do not feel so good that's why we don't so good that's why we don't so good that's why we don't feel the purpose of life as life happens feel the purpose of life as life happens feel the purpose of life as life happens every time when blood flow goes through
15:00every time when blood flow goes through every time when blood flow goes through when neural activity exists is because when neural activity exists is because when neural activity exists is because there is there is there is a blood flow going equally through all a blood flow going equally through all a blood flow going equally through all the parts of the brain connected with the parts of the brain connected with the parts of the brain connected with all the parts of the body all the parts of the body all the parts of the body and now through the comfort zone and now through the comfort zone and now through the comfort zone Behavior we live mostly in the thinking Behavior we live mostly in the thinking Behavior we live mostly in the thinking brain thus we deprive brain thus we deprive brain thus we deprive the rest of the brain of the right blood the rest of the brain of the right blood the rest of the brain of the right blood flow and then it goes on standby we flow and then it goes on standby we flow and then it goes on standby we don't feel so good anymore we've become don't feel so good anymore we've become don't feel so good anymore we've become a bit insensitive it's like boring a bit insensitive it's like boring a bit insensitive it's like boring and we don't know the purpose of life and we don't know the purpose of life and we don't know the purpose of life spirituality is a Salvation absolute spirituality is a Salvation absolute spirituality is a Salvation absolute sensation of unconditional love in the sensation of unconditional love in the sensation of unconditional love in the moment moment moment we cannot feel this anymore because it we cannot feel this anymore because it
16:00we cannot feel this anymore because it is being deprived of blood flow and this is being deprived of blood flow and this is being deprived of blood flow and this is because we went to school in the west is because we went to school in the west is because we went to school in the west to serve a system and not our happiness to serve a system and not our happiness to serve a system and not our happiness strength and health strength and health strength and health so they School us into this thinking so they School us into this thinking so they School us into this thinking brain brain but we are built to be humans not robots but we are built to be humans not robots but we are built to be humans not robots not a brick in the wall not a brick in the wall not a brick in the wall who is having difficulties to have the who is having difficulties to have the who is having difficulties to have the sense of being really alive sense of being really alive sense of being really alive when you love somebody then you feel when you love somebody then you feel when you love somebody then you feel alive alive alive that be feeling alive you should feel that be feeling alive you should feel that be feeling alive you should feel every day that's the soul every day that's the soul every day that's the soul uninhibited through us uninhibited through us uninhibited through us and that is there for everybody and now and that is there for everybody and now and that is there for everybody and now we found the keys to open up the blood we found the keys to open up the blood we found the keys to open up the blood flow to all parts of the brain connected
17:00flow to all parts of the brain connected flow to all parts of the brain connected to all parts of the body then you feel to all parts of the body then you feel to all parts of the body then you feel alive alive without any condition without any condition without any condition and until that is not being understood I and until that is not being understood I and until that is not being understood I will just need to keep heart we need to will just need to keep heart we need to will just need to keep heart we need to do this work because there is more than do this work because there is more than do this work because there is more than meets the eye that is us being meets the eye that is us being meets the eye that is us being full power who love every day full power who love every day full power who love every day um um um aliveness is something that people feel aliveness is something that people feel aliveness is something that people feel that they're missing in their life and that they're missing in their life and that they're missing in their life and you're saying that aliveness is blood you're saying that aliveness is blood you're saying that aliveness is blood flow and blood flow is flow and blood flow is flow and blood flow is exercise cold stimulation breathing and exercise cold stimulation breathing and exercise cold stimulation breathing and most importantly the last one which you most importantly the last one which you most importantly the last one which you talk about so much through your work talk about so much through your work talk about so much through your work love those are the keys to aliveness so love those are the keys to aliveness so love those are the keys to aliveness so if anybody's listening today and they if anybody's listening today and they if anybody's listening today and they don't feel alive they have to look at don't feel alive they have to look at don't feel alive they have to look at those elements and see do they first and those elements and see do they first and those elements and see do they first and foremost have the ample amount of blood
18:00foremost have the ample amount of blood foremost have the ample amount of blood flow to all the regions of the body but flow to all the regions of the body but flow to all the regions of the body but especially the brain because if I'm especially the brain because if I'm especially the brain because if I'm understanding you correctly what you understanding you correctly what you understanding you correctly what you said before we're we're said before we're we're said before we're we're overthinking in our brain because the overthinking in our brain because the overthinking in our brain because the blood flow is not being distributed blood flow is not being distributed blood flow is not being distributed properly properly properly and it's through breathing and cold that and it's through breathing and cold that and it's through breathing and cold that we can we can we can pretty much immediately start to shift pretty much immediately start to shift pretty much immediately start to shift that blood flow is that right based on that blood flow is that right based on that blood flow is that right based on your work your work your work yes it is that we have gone through the yes it is that we have gone through the yes it is that we have gone through the schooling to fit into a system schooling to fit into a system schooling to fit into a system [Music] [Music] into a thinking Narrows consciousness into a thinking Narrows consciousness into a thinking Narrows consciousness in network Consciousness is and not in network Consciousness is and not in network Consciousness is and not being Fully Alive being Fully Alive being Fully Alive because our true nature is that of love because our true nature is that of love because our true nature is that of love the light when I wake up the light when I wake up the light when I wake up I love it I love it I love it what are we going to do what are we going to do what are we going to do yeah wow then I don't need drugs to be
19:00yeah wow then I don't need drugs to be yeah wow then I don't need drugs to be fully alive fully alive fully alive and every day I feel this sense I want and every day I feel this sense I want and every day I feel this sense I want to change the world I'm going to change to change the world I'm going to change to change the world I'm going to change the world I am doing it the world I am doing it the world I am doing it and together here we are ordered we just and together here we are ordered we just and together here we are ordered we just want to retrieve what is ours a true want to retrieve what is ours a true want to retrieve what is ours a true Spirit Spirit Spirit uninhibited a soul uninhibited a soul uninhibited a soul a soul that is shining like the sun a soul that is shining like the sun a soul that is shining like the sun no blockages no no blockages no no blockages no blood flow life everywhere and we are blood flow life everywhere and we are blood flow life everywhere and we are able to guarantee that and then able to guarantee that and then able to guarantee that and then then the Consciousness or the neurology then the Consciousness or the neurology then the Consciousness or the neurology is able willfully is able willfully is able willfully to go to the deepest of the brain and to go to the deepest of the brain and to go to the deepest of the brain and thus when that happens then the blood thus when that happens then the blood thus when that happens then the blood flow follows flow follows flow follows and they have been doing the studies and they have been doing the studies and they have been doing the studies compared to people doing mindfulness for
20:00compared to people doing mindfulness for compared to people doing mindfulness for four hours a day for years four hours a day for years four hours a day for years together compared to people doing the together compared to people doing the together compared to people doing the breathing exercises breathing exercises breathing exercises and the people even know this is doing and the people even know this is doing and the people even know this is doing the breathing exercises within 10 the breathing exercises within 10 the breathing exercises within 10 minutes go deeper than the people who do minutes go deeper than the people who do minutes go deeper than the people who do four hours of mindfulness for years four hours of mindfulness for years four hours of mindfulness for years that's a powerful statement that's a powerful statement that's a powerful statement yes I I always say to any scientist yes I I always say to any scientist yes I I always say to any scientist prove me wrong please come on I want you prove me wrong please come on I want you prove me wrong please come on I want you I want critical thinking that polishes I want critical thinking that polishes I want critical thinking that polishes the diamonds of the truth the diamonds of the truth the diamonds of the truth and the truth is that we are born with and the truth is that we are born with and the truth is that we are born with the greatest purpose of the whole of the greatest purpose of the whole of the greatest purpose of the whole of universe that is one of love together universe that is one of love together universe that is one of love together share love of life share love of life share love of life and then you unconditionally you become and then you unconditionally you become and then you unconditionally you become happy
21:00happy happy the happy man doesn't go to war a happy the happy man doesn't go to war a happy the happy man doesn't go to war a happy man is not into possession he's into man is not into possession he's into man is not into possession he's into sharing because he is already fulfilled sharing because he is already fulfilled sharing because he is already fulfilled and we lost track through this comfort and we lost track through this comfort and we lost track through this comfort zone false zone false zone false promises that life needs careers that promises that life needs careers that promises that life needs careers that life needs to become the best of life needs to become the best of life needs to become the best of yourself through the hierarchy yourself through the hierarchy yourself through the hierarchy Etc while we are the best of ourselves Etc while we are the best of ourselves Etc while we are the best of ourselves born born born we should feel that Spirit uninhibited we should feel that Spirit uninhibited we should feel that Spirit uninhibited throughout life until that is not throughout life until that is not throughout life until that is not happening happening happening all the religious have failed over there all the religious have failed over there all the religious have failed over there and now we have the measurement devices and now we have the measurement devices and now we have the measurement devices that can see more than the eyes we can that can see more than the eyes we can that can see more than the eyes we can look into the DNA look into the deepest look into the DNA look into the deepest look into the DNA look into the deepest of the brain look into the bone marrow of the brain look into the bone marrow of the brain look into the bone marrow and we have shown how to go there
22:00and we have shown how to go there and we have shown how to go there willfully and make the difference before willfully and make the difference before willfully and make the difference before after after after people and doing compare competitive people and doing compare competitive people and doing compare competitive studies and then show what people in studies and then show what people in studies and then show what people in science thought was impossible we are science thought was impossible we are science thought was impossible we are showing it is possible uh yeah speaking showing it is possible uh yeah speaking showing it is possible uh yeah speaking about the impossible you did something about the impossible you did something about the impossible you did something that a lot of people would say was crazy that a lot of people would say was crazy that a lot of people would say was crazy a few years ago and I'll let you talk a few years ago and I'll let you talk a few years ago and I'll let you talk about the story you injected live about the story you injected live about the story you injected live bacteria into your body why did you do bacteria into your body why did you do bacteria into your body why did you do that and what were you trying to show that and what were you trying to show that and what were you trying to show the scientific community and by the way the scientific community and by the way the scientific community and by the way this is not telling people that they this is not telling people that they this is not telling people that they should go do this you were doing it should go do this you were doing it should go do this you were doing it under controlled supervision because you under controlled supervision because you under controlled supervision because you wanted to make a point what point were wanted to make a point what point were wanted to make a point what point were you trying to make I was uh you trying to make I was uh you trying to make I was uh I was absolutely sure I was absolutely sure I was absolutely sure so much more than we think that our so much more than we think that our so much more than we think that our bodies are way more resilient than bodies are way more resilient than bodies are way more resilient than anybody understands anybody understands anybody understands yes and that it is not only because
23:00yes and that it is not only because yes and that it is not only because my training or my yeah it's that I'm my training or my yeah it's that I'm my training or my yeah it's that I'm special or something no I'm a simple guy special or something no I'm a simple guy special or something no I'm a simple guy yet I trained my body to see yet I trained my body to see yet I trained my body to see what is out there that makes me feel what is out there that makes me feel what is out there that makes me feel the presence of my soul the presence of my soul the presence of my soul they talk about the soul so much it's they talk about the soul so much it's they talk about the soul so much it's crazy but they don't know how to point crazy but they don't know how to point crazy but they don't know how to point it into you it into you it into you they don't know how to make it happen they don't know how to make it happen they don't know how to make it happen they don't know how to guarantee peace they don't know how to guarantee peace they don't know how to guarantee peace and happiness strength and health in and happiness strength and health in and happiness strength and health in societies anymore what is this where is societies anymore what is this where is societies anymore what is this where is that where is God who is something that where is God who is something that where is God who is something abstract no God is here abstract no God is here abstract no God is here we are the reflection of divinity we we are the reflection of divinity we we are the reflection of divinity we should feel Divinity Divinity it means should feel Divinity Divinity it means should feel Divinity Divinity it means Holiness not being in dualism being holy
24:00Holiness not being in dualism being holy Holiness not being in dualism being holy yourself yourself yourself and how to act and to activate the whole and how to act and to activate the whole and how to act and to activate the whole flow holy flow with them we have shown flow holy flow with them we have shown flow holy flow with them we have shown this now and so back then I was this now and so back then I was this now and so back then I was convinced of this convinced of this convinced of this but the science wasn't but the science wasn't but the science wasn't it was I was telling things like this on it was I was telling things like this on it was I was telling things like this on TV they called me crazy TV they called me crazy TV they called me crazy and then I said hey I'm gonna prove it and then I said hey I'm gonna prove it and then I said hey I'm gonna prove it I'm gonna show I'm gonna show I'm gonna show that I know more than the doctors and that I know more than the doctors and that I know more than the doctors and the professors so that we have to change the professors so that we have to change the professors so that we have to change sides because apparently they say that sides because apparently they say that sides because apparently they say that that is not possible to experience what that is not possible to experience what that is not possible to experience what is divine to activate a holy flow is divine to activate a holy flow is divine to activate a holy flow to beat disease to beat the darkness of to beat disease to beat the darkness of to beat disease to beat the darkness of depression that is what science is depression that is what science is depression that is what science is saying that we cannot do that saying that we cannot do that saying that we cannot do that and I say no no no and I say no no no and I say no no no I feel it I believe it I showed it for
25:00I feel it I believe it I showed it for I feel it I believe it I showed it for myself in the heart nature myself in the heart nature myself in the heart nature and now I come back and I will show it and now I come back and I will show it and now I come back and I will show it to Richard Colt dada in the hospitals to Richard Colt dada in the hospitals to Richard Colt dada in the hospitals and then you see this is the truth we and then you see this is the truth we and then you see this is the truth we are born to be in the truth to follow are born to be in the truth to follow are born to be in the truth to follow that within us that makes us realize we that within us that makes us realize we that within us that makes us realize we have an amazing Soul we have unlimited have an amazing Soul we have unlimited have an amazing Soul we have unlimited power power power of the Mind serving us to find any to of the Mind serving us to find any to of the Mind serving us to find any to solve anything that blocks our soul to solve anything that blocks our soul to solve anything that blocks our soul to be expressed fully so be expressed fully so be expressed fully so because that sounds like oh yeah yeah because that sounds like oh yeah yeah because that sounds like oh yeah yeah nice okay goodbye nice okay goodbye nice okay goodbye that's why I took on signs first I went that's why I took on signs first I went that's why I took on signs first I went into 80 minutes 80 minutes into the eyes into 80 minutes 80 minutes into the eyes into 80 minutes 80 minutes into the eyes up till here
26:00up till here up till here they took my blood out of one arm they took my blood out of one arm they took my blood out of one arm and they saw my core body temperature in and they saw my core body temperature in and they saw my core body temperature in 80 minutes not going down 80 minutes not going down 80 minutes not going down that is control over my body in stress that is control over my body in stress that is control over my body in stress deep stress I just programmed it through deep stress I just programmed it through deep stress I just programmed it through breathing through the breathing breathing through the breathing breathing through the breathing primaries primaries primaries not breathing the power of my intention not breathing the power of my intention not breathing the power of my intention alone alone alone just the power of my interest breathing just the power of my interest breathing just the power of my interest breathing I had done before I had done before I had done before the 80 minutes the 80 minutes the 80 minutes and then they saw such a things they had and then they saw such a things they had and then they saw such a things they had never seen in science in physiological never seen in science in physiological never seen in science in physiological experiments ever on humans experiments ever on humans experiments ever on humans and they saw they took the blocks and they saw they took the blocks and they saw they took the blocks that they put that blood in a laboratory that they put that blood in a laboratory that they put that blood in a laboratory setting setting setting and exposed it to bacteria and exposed it to bacteria and exposed it to bacteria and where normally the blood serum
27:00and where normally the blood serum and where normally the blood serum reacts violently the immune cells reacts violently the immune cells reacts violently the immune cells reactor violently towards the inserted reactor violently towards the inserted reactor violently towards the inserted uh uh bacteria uh uh bacteria uh uh bacteria in my case was zero percent wow they had in my case was zero percent wow they had in my case was zero percent wow they had never seen this before and then they never seen this before and then they never seen this before and then they said we did it asks people said we did it asks people said we did it asks people so you were not there it was passively so you were not there it was passively so you were not there it was passively your blood when you went into the ice your blood when you went into the ice your blood when you went into the ice yeah it shows that my blood becomes yeah it shows that my blood becomes yeah it shows that my blood becomes different when I different when I different when I exercise control over my body exercise control over my body exercise control over my body then the bacteria suddenly has no chance then the bacteria suddenly has no chance then the bacteria suddenly has no chance if that's what you guys have seen but if that's what you guys have seen but if that's what you guys have seen but you know and when I go a lie you know and when I go a lie you know and when I go a lie on a bat nice and comfortable I can do on a bat nice and comfortable I can do on a bat nice and comfortable I can do my breathing my breathing my breathing and then the bacteria also you can put and then the bacteria also you can put and then the bacteria also you can put it in my veins
28:00it in my veins it in my veins and then you will see I can suppress and then you will see I can suppress and then you will see I can suppress the bacterias reaction on my immune the bacterias reaction on my immune the bacterias reaction on my immune system and nothing happens system and nothing happens system and nothing happens so they did that so they did that so they did that and what happened and what happened and what happened nothing happened nothing happened nothing happened normally you become you vomit you become normally you become you vomit you become normally you become you vomit you become sick you have fever headaches all over sick you have fever headaches all over sick you have fever headaches all over Agony muscle aches etc for six hours Agony muscle aches etc for six hours Agony muscle aches etc for six hours nothing with me nothing with me nothing with me and then they said to me when you are and then they said to me when you are and then they said to me when you are the Iceman you are a superhuman you are the Iceman you are a superhuman you are the Iceman you are a superhuman you are extraordinary you are a freak of nature extraordinary you are a freak of nature extraordinary you are a freak of nature you are whatever they said you know you are whatever they said you know you are whatever they said you know and then I said no and then I said no and then I said no and I'm not even the Iceman maybe a nice and I'm not even the Iceman maybe a nice and I'm not even the Iceman maybe a nice man man man I will show that a group of people is I will show that a group of people is I will show that a group of people is able to do what I do able to do what I do able to do what I do which was considered to be
29:00which was considered to be which was considered to be impossible up till death in science impossible up till death in science impossible up till death in science because I had shown for the first time because I had shown for the first time because I had shown for the first time in science in science in science how to influence deeply into the how to influence deeply into the how to influence deeply into the autonomic nervous system and the innate autonomic nervous system and the innate autonomic nervous system and the innate immune system immune system immune system and both are systems that if you have and both are systems that if you have and both are systems that if you have control you are able to bring down control you are able to bring down control you are able to bring down that's what makes us sick that's what makes us sick that's what makes us sick and sickness and sickness and sickness and that it is so and that it is so and that it is so finally they gave me a group of people finally they gave me a group of people finally they gave me a group of people and they had a control group and they had a control group and they had a control group I got 18 people I trained them I got 18 people I trained them I got 18 people I trained them four days in four days four days in four days four days in four days first they said to me when first they said to me when first they said to me when to get people to get people to get people towards your results towards your results towards your results you are showing how long does it take you are showing how long does it take you are showing how long does it take one year one a half year
30:00one year one a half year one year one a half year I said 10 days I said 10 days I said 10 days and it became four days and it became four days and it became four days so in those four days I trained these so in those four days I trained these so in those four days I trained these people people people and then uh four days later they all got and then uh four days later they all got and then uh four days later they all got the injection of the endotoxin just just the injection of the endotoxin just just the injection of the endotoxin just just everybody's aware they're injecting a everybody's aware they're injecting a everybody's aware they're injecting a bacteria bacteria endotoxin inside the bacteria bacteria endotoxin inside the bacteria bacteria endotoxin inside the body body body that's what that's what that's what what made it's four people sick it's four people sick so all the people became sick and so all the people became sick and so all the people became sick and suddenly 12 people suddenly 12 people suddenly 12 people I trade 100 not sick wow so there there I trade 100 not sick wow so there there I trade 100 not sick wow so there there we changed fundamentally what is we changed fundamentally what is we changed fundamentally what is believed in science believed in science believed in science that we can control within our body and that we can control within our body and that we can control within our body and that is to bring down inflammation and that is to bring down inflammation and that is to bring down inflammation and inflammation is inflammation is inflammation is and through is the cause and effect and through is the cause and effect and through is the cause and effect actually of any disease
31:00actually of any disease actually of any disease of course they will not bring it out of course they will not bring it out of course they will not bring it out that much because it doesn't make this that much because it doesn't make this that much because it doesn't make this disease disease disease but hey but hey but hey I'm not into politics I'm not into politics I'm not into politics I'm here to show that everybody through I'm here to show that everybody through I'm here to show that everybody through a bit of cold and breathing is able to a bit of cold and breathing is able to a bit of cold and breathing is able to regain a much deeper innate control regain a much deeper innate control regain a much deeper innate control Within Within Within over all the systems inside over all the systems inside over all the systems inside by which we've become almost by which we've become almost by which we've become almost invulnerable physically mentally invulnerable physically mentally invulnerable physically mentally spiritually emotionally or in other spiritually emotionally or in other spiritually emotionally or in other words just become happy strong and words just become happy strong and words just become happy strong and healthy the rest is I love it I healthy the rest is I love it I healthy the rest is I love it I love the clarity you know earlier when love the clarity you know earlier when love the clarity you know earlier when you were saying that people just have to you were saying that people just have to you were saying that people just have to try it once and see for themselves so
32:00try it once and see for themselves so try it once and see for themselves so let's talk a little bit about that right let's talk a little bit about that right let's talk a little bit about that right and we'll come back to your story in a and we'll come back to your story in a and we'll come back to your story in a little bit what are they trying with little bit what are they trying with little bit what are they trying with both of those Pathways let's first talk both of those Pathways let's first talk both of those Pathways let's first talk about the breathing side right obviously about the breathing side right obviously about the breathing side right obviously you have a whole training methodology you have a whole training methodology you have a whole training methodology you have an app which we'll link to in you have an app which we'll link to in you have an app which we'll link to in the show notes you've put out books the show notes you've put out books the show notes you've put out books where you describe it in there but just where you describe it in there but just where you describe it in there but just give us an overview what are they trying give us an overview what are they trying give us an overview what are they trying and what's the methodology first let's and what's the methodology first let's and what's the methodology first let's start with breathing start with breathing start with breathing breathing breathing is the ability to breathing breathing is the ability to breathing breathing is the ability to blow off carbon dioxide blow off carbon dioxide blow off carbon dioxide control control control by which we get alkalosis and we become by which we get alkalosis and we become by which we get alkalosis and we become alkaline alkaline alkaline and we don't need to breathe say for one and we don't need to breathe say for one and we don't need to breathe say for one minute or two minutes or three minutes minute or two minutes or three minutes minute or two minutes or three minutes or even four minutes and even longer or even four minutes and even longer or even four minutes and even longer what is that after exhalation what is that after exhalation what is that after exhalation where this is very very powerful this is where this is very very powerful this is where this is very very powerful this is medicine medicine medicine deep personal natural medicine
33:00deep personal natural medicine deep personal natural medicine it is to process the whole body to reset it is to process the whole body to reset it is to process the whole body to reset the body the body the body in the Deep to activate the adrenal axis in the Deep to activate the adrenal axis in the Deep to activate the adrenal axis which resets the whole body it cleanses which resets the whole body it cleanses which resets the whole body it cleanses it all it all it all if you got something to do very if you got something to do very if you got something to do very important do this breathing exercises on important do this breathing exercises on important do this breathing exercises on a sofa or in bed a sofa or in bed a sofa or in bed or seated but not in a car not in a or seated but not in a car not in a or seated but not in a car not in a swimming pool not in water this is swimming pool not in water this is swimming pool not in water this is therapeutical this is very very strong therapeutical this is very very strong therapeutical this is very very strong medicine medicine if you use it wrong it's no good can be if you use it wrong it's no good can be if you use it wrong it's no good can be lethal lethal lethal so strong so strong so strong learn to have BR the right breathing learn to have BR the right breathing learn to have BR the right breathing exercises we show as an alley exercises we show as an alley exercises we show as an alley it beats inflammation it beats inflammation it beats inflammation it beats mood disorders beats anxiety it beats mood disorders beats anxiety it beats mood disorders beats anxiety and beats the lack of energy
34:00and beats the lack of energy and beats the lack of energy it gives you all you need it gives you all you need it gives you all you need it goes into the cell it goes into the cell it goes into the cell and it influences through these and it influences through these and it influences through these processes aerobic dissemination aerobic processes aerobic dissemination aerobic processes aerobic dissemination aerobic is oxygen is oxygen is oxygen it comes better at it it comes better at it it comes better at it and it binds better with the molecular and it binds better with the molecular and it binds better with the molecular binding with the molecular binding with the molecular binding with the molecular division inside the mitochondria the division inside the mitochondria the division inside the mitochondria the energy factories and thus we get a lot energy factories and thus we get a lot energy factories and thus we get a lot more molecules which is energy more molecules which is energy more molecules which is energy and when you are sick you do breathing and when you are sick you do breathing and when you are sick you do breathing exercises you create more energy and exercises you create more energy and exercises you create more energy and that energy can be used or plasticity that energy can be used or plasticity that energy can be used or plasticity neuroplasticity plasticity in the body neuroplasticity plasticity in the body neuroplasticity plasticity in the body means healing means healing means healing so it is good for performance it is good
35:00so it is good for performance it is good so it is good for performance it is good for bringing your mood into peacefulness for bringing your mood into peacefulness for bringing your mood into peacefulness the parasympathetic nervous system the parasympathetic nervous system the parasympathetic nervous system peacefulness it breaks down inflammation peacefulness it breaks down inflammation peacefulness it breaks down inflammation and it your cognitive awareness goes way and it your cognitive awareness goes way and it your cognitive awareness goes way up up up people who are doing this CEOs people who are doing this CEOs people who are doing this CEOs they say they come to me and they say they say they come to me and they say they say they come to me and they say and at two o'clock in the afternoon I'm and at two o'clock in the afternoon I'm and at two o'clock in the afternoon I'm my brain is sluggish my brain is sluggish my brain is sluggish after so much looking on the monitor after so much looking on the monitor after so much looking on the monitor yeah of course it is because in its yeah of course it is because in its yeah of course it is because in its exertion exertion exertion like running much makes you sore at a like running much makes you sore at a like running much makes you sore at a certain moment also the brain is that certain moment also the brain is that certain moment also the brain is that like you become sore sluggish like you become sore sluggish like you become sore sluggish like you cannot run when it is sore like you cannot run when it is sore like you cannot run when it is sore equal to the mental capacity and equal to the mental capacity and equal to the mental capacity and functioning functioning functioning so then they do the breathing for 20 so then they do the breathing for 20
36:00so then they do the breathing for 20 minutes and they are fresh like chickens minutes and they are fresh like chickens minutes and they are fresh like chickens again again again so there is multiple benefits but so there is multiple benefits but so there is multiple benefits but learned and remind yourself it is like learned and remind yourself it is like learned and remind yourself it is like strong medicine it is a solution to strong medicine it is a solution to strong medicine it is a solution to almost anything almost anything almost anything find out find out find out do it once and and if you do great for do it once and and if you do great for do it once and and if you do great for people who do Sports people who do Sports people who do Sports to show what this does to show what this does to show what this does if you relax relax and you know how many and you know how many and you know how many push-ups you do normally push-ups you do normally push-ups you do normally yeah performance and say is it 15 is it yeah performance and say is it 15 is it yeah performance and say is it 15 is it 20 is it 25 20 is it 25 20 is it 25 and you do the 30 deep breaths Let It Go Let It Go fully Let It Go for 30 times
37:00fully Let It Go for 30 times fully Let It Go for 30 times and then the last one Julian Let It Go and then the last one Julian Let It Go and then the last one Julian Let It Go and you do the push-ups you will be able and you do the push-ups you will be able and you do the push-ups you will be able to do more push-ups to do more push-ups to do more push-ups than when you breathe than when you breathe than when you breathe and now even without air in your works and now even without air in your works and now even without air in your works that shows that we profoundly are that shows that we profoundly are that shows that we profoundly are influencing the biochemistry inside the influencing the biochemistry inside the influencing the biochemistry inside the body the fueling body the fueling body the fueling that makes us able to perform more that makes us able to perform more that makes us able to perform more that is the way we are able to that is the way we are able to that is the way we are able to positively intervene into the positively intervene into the positively intervene into the biochemical processes and the nervous biochemical processes and the nervous biochemical processes and the nervous system inside system inside system inside we are the Alchemists we are the Alchemists we are the Alchemists oh oh through the breath through the breath through the breath so that is what I got to say about the so that is what I got to say about the so that is what I got to say about the breathing beautiful and you have some breathing beautiful and you have some breathing beautiful and you have some videos on your YouTube page which maybe videos on your YouTube page which maybe videos on your YouTube page which maybe we'll link over to where you're kind of
38:00we'll link over to where you're kind of we'll link over to where you're kind of guiding people through that process but guiding people through that process but guiding people through that process but that's a good you know whenever I see that's a good you know whenever I see that's a good you know whenever I see you talk I just get hyped I get excited you talk I just get hyped I get excited you talk I just get hyped I get excited it's a reminder of what I already know it's a reminder of what I already know it's a reminder of what I already know inside inside through through through well we change yeah the world needs change to Rise Against ignorance to Rise Against ignorance and against death and streets and no and against death and streets and no and against death and streets and no Solutions and a dependency we make Solutions and a dependency we make Solutions and a dependency we make people feel autonomously people feel autonomously people feel autonomously back into their bodies and Minds to be back into their bodies and Minds to be back into their bodies and Minds to be able to be happy strong and healthy and able to be happy strong and healthy and able to be happy strong and healthy and keep it there keep it there keep it there and all the rest the to keep it and all the rest the to keep it and all the rest the to keep it out out out that's what we do and because nobody was that's what we do and because nobody was that's what we do and because nobody was listening before when I was talking like listening before when I was talking like listening before when I was talking like that that's why I go through sides that that's why I go through sides that that's why I go through sides and I show that signs needs to shift
39:00and I show that signs needs to shift and I show that signs needs to shift I show it all the time I show it all the time I show it all the time it needs to say sorry just just to it needs to say sorry just just to it needs to say sorry just just to clarify that did you say signs signs clarify that did you say signs signs clarify that did you say signs signs signs yeah signs yeah signs yeah s-c-i-e-n-c-e no s-i-g s-c-i-e-n-c-e no s-i-g s-c-i-e-n-c-e no s-i-g science science science science science science yeah needs to shift it needs to serve us and needs to shift it needs to serve us and show that we have the inner neurological show that we have the inner neurological show that we have the inner neurological capacity to control ourselves through capacity to control ourselves through capacity to control ourselves through our will our will our will logic well let's pivot from the breath right well let's pivot from the breath right because just as excited as you are about because just as excited as you are about because just as excited as you are about the breath and what we're capable and the breath and what we're capable and the breath and what we're capable and what it activates inside the body you're what it activates inside the body you're what it activates inside the body you're also just as excited about the cold you also just as excited about the cold you also just as excited about the cold you know we've done some podcasts on cold know we've done some podcasts on cold know we've done some podcasts on cold therapy but you're the OG in this space therapy but you're the OG in this space therapy but you're the OG in this space so if somebody's talking about getting so if somebody's talking about getting so if somebody's talking about getting started and you're saying try it once started and you're saying try it once started and you're saying try it once what's the try it once approach to cold
40:00what's the try it once approach to cold what's the try it once approach to cold therapy for somebody who hasn't yet therapy for somebody who hasn't yet therapy for somebody who hasn't yet tried it yet tried it yet tried it yet if you didn't try first of all know that if you didn't try first of all know that if you didn't try first of all know that cardiovascular related diseases is cardiovascular related diseases is cardiovascular related diseases is killer number one in our society and killer number one in our society and killer number one in our society and that is not for nothing is we got all that is not for nothing is we got all that is not for nothing is we got all the technology and this and then we the technology and this and then we the technology and this and then we suddenly have such a problem suddenly have such a problem suddenly have such a problem the fundamental problem of that is that the fundamental problem of that is that the fundamental problem of that is that we do not expose our bodies to cult we do not expose our bodies to cult we do not expose our bodies to cult anymore we are dressed up anymore we are dressed up anymore we are dressed up World our biggest organ of ours is our World our biggest organ of ours is our World our biggest organ of ours is our skin skin skin millions of millions of millions of a receptors a receptors a receptors temperature receptors blood vessel temperature receptors blood vessel temperature receptors blood vessel receptors yeah are pain receptors are receptors yeah are pain receptors are receptors yeah are pain receptors are within our skin within our skin within our skin when you go into the cold and all these when you go into the cold and all these when you go into the cold and all these receptors are suddenly giving messages receptors are suddenly giving messages receptors are suddenly giving messages that means neurological uh
41:00that means neurological uh that means neurological uh neurotransmitters to the body to become neurotransmitters to the body to become neurotransmitters to the body to become strong strong strong but we never train our inner a but we never train our inner a but we never train our inner a cardiovascular system which is connected cardiovascular system which is connected cardiovascular system which is connected to the skin to the skin to the skin because it's covered always so the cardiovascular system is about so the cardiovascular system is about 125 125 125 000 kilometers 000 kilometers 000 kilometers like 80 000 miles long like 80 000 miles long like 80 000 miles long arteries veins capillaries arteries veins capillaries arteries veins capillaries millions of little muscles millions of little muscles millions of little muscles and those muscles never get activated and those muscles never get activated and those muscles never get activated because we wear clothes because we wear clothes because we wear clothes and who is who's got the blade and the and who is who's got the blade and the and who is who's got the blade and the pressure and the stress for that is our pressure and the stress for that is our pressure and the stress for that is our heart heart heart because all those little muscles are not because all those little muscles are not because all those little muscles are not activated on a regular basis so they activated on a regular basis so they activated on a regular basis so they don't they get Wicked and do not help as
42:00don't they get Wicked and do not help as don't they get Wicked and do not help as much the blood flow going through the much the blood flow going through the much the blood flow going through the system system system and the Heart therefore needs to pump and the Heart therefore needs to pump and the Heart therefore needs to pump more more more that will create that will create that will create in the long run all kinds of stress uh in the long run all kinds of stress uh in the long run all kinds of stress uh the stress will suddenly the stress will suddenly the stress will suddenly how do you say the the veins arteries how do you say the the veins arteries how do you say the the veins arteries and capillaries condition they at a and capillaries condition they at a and capillaries condition they at a certain moment they collapse now you get certain moment they collapse now you get certain moment they collapse now you get high blood pressure low blood pressure high blood pressure low blood pressure high blood pressure low blood pressure endothelial dysfunction [Music] and that is because we wear clothes all and that is because we wear clothes all and that is because we wear clothes all the time the time the time that is as simple as it is so a cold that is as simple as it is so a cold that is as simple as it is so a cold shower a day keeps the doctor away shower a day keeps the doctor away shower a day keeps the doctor away man you better do it man you better do it man you better do it you better do it because you train and you better do it because you train and you better do it because you train and exercise
43:00exercise exercise 120 or 80 000 miles of vascular channels 120 or 80 000 miles of vascular channels 120 or 80 000 miles of vascular channels the capillaries arteries and baits and the capillaries arteries and baits and the capillaries arteries and baits and with that millions of little muscles with that millions of little muscles with that millions of little muscles they become strong then your heart rate they become strong then your heart rate they become strong then your heart rate goes down goes down goes down and when the all these little muscles and when the all these little muscles and when the all these little muscles they help the blood flow so it gets into they help the blood flow so it gets into they help the blood flow so it gets into the cells much better the cells much better the cells much better with all the oxygen nutrients vitamins with all the oxygen nutrients vitamins with all the oxygen nutrients vitamins minerals minerals minerals and that creates a boost of energy it's and that creates a boost of energy it's and that creates a boost of energy it's logic because the cell gets much more logic because the cell gets much more logic because the cell gets much more and better blood flow and better blood flow and better blood flow that's the way the stress goes down that's the way the stress goes down that's the way the stress goes down and the energy goes up that's why you and the energy goes up that's why you and the energy goes up that's why you should take a cold shower you start with should take a cold shower you start with should take a cold shower you start with a cold shower a cold shower a cold shower do not go directly into icy water do not go directly into icy water do not go directly into icy water because that is Sharpie it's like to say because that is Sharpie it's like to say because that is Sharpie it's like to say to a person who never goes to the gym to a person who never goes to the gym to a person who never goes to the gym hey lift up
44:00hey lift up hey lift up 50 pounds with this and I am 50 pounds 50 pounds with this and I am 50 pounds 50 pounds with this and I am 50 pounds there and do it several times no it's there and do it several times no it's there and do it several times no it's not going to happen and it destroys the not going to happen and it destroys the not going to happen and it destroys the muscular condition muscular condition muscular condition and when the muscles the tendons it's and when the muscles the tendons it's and when the muscles the tendons it's not good to do that it's shocking not good to do that it's shocking not good to do that it's shocking because we never treat our arterial because we never treat our arterial because we never treat our arterial functioning and condition that's why functioning and condition that's why functioning and condition that's why when we go directly into icy water it when we go directly into icy water it when we go directly into icy water it would be painful it would the body would would be painful it would the body would would be painful it would the body would say no say no say no but if you go into a cold shower which but if you go into a cold shower which but if you go into a cold shower which everybody is able to do 15 seconds everybody is able to do 15 seconds everybody is able to do 15 seconds and then 30 seconds 45 one minute one and then 30 seconds 45 one minute one and then 30 seconds 45 one minute one minute 15 minute 15 minute 15 Etc Etc Etc until you reach like two minutes cold until you reach like two minutes cold until you reach like two minutes cold shower then you are very that your shower then you are very that your shower then you are very that your natural vascular condition is back to natural vascular condition is back to natural vascular condition is back to its natural condition its natural condition its natural condition like the way we were born as mammals
45:00like the way we were born as mammals like the way we were born as mammals like we were born in nature it's back like we were born in nature it's back like we were born in nature it's back and then you were able to go into icy and then you were able to go into icy and then you were able to go into icy water and then absolutely you will water and then absolutely you will water and then absolutely you will become positively addictive become positively addictive become positively addictive because she's feeling so much more because she's feeling so much more because she's feeling so much more energy energy energy you feel strong you feel in the presence you feel strong you feel in the presence you feel strong you feel in the presence you feel you're not thinking you are you feel you're not thinking you are you feel you're not thinking you are just being that just being is what we just being that just being is what we just being that just being is what we have been talking about from the have been talking about from the have been talking about from the beginning beginning beginning unconditional love for life unconditional love for life unconditional love for life that is what it brings spiritually that is what it brings spiritually that is what it brings spiritually and they when you go into the cold you and they when you go into the cold you and they when you go into the cold you learn to learn to learn to bring down bring down bring down Focus your moods you bring it down to Focus your moods you bring it down to Focus your moods you bring it down to tranquility tranquility tranquility not in anxiety you bring the anxiety not in anxiety you bring the anxiety not in anxiety you bring the anxiety down you learn to focus down you learn to focus down you learn to focus and when you then go in your body from
46:00and when you then go in your body from and when you then go in your body from inside becomes really strong you don't inside becomes really strong you don't inside becomes really strong you don't see movement see movement see movement but your body becomes really strong from but your body becomes really strong from but your body becomes really strong from within the until it meets the stress within the until it meets the stress within the until it meets the stress from the out from the out from the out and then when you go out then the eyes and then when you go out then the eyes and then when you go out then the eyes is no longer but your body is reseted is no longer but your body is reseted is no longer but your body is reseted and your body is strong all these and your body is strong all these and your body is strong all these systems go that's what they're called us so if you that's what they're called us so if you want to do the cold try to do want to do the cold try to do want to do the cold try to do consequently and executively like 10 consequently and executively like 10 consequently and executively like 10 days 15 seconds 30 seconds 45 seconds days 15 seconds 30 seconds 45 seconds days 15 seconds 30 seconds 45 seconds one minute one minute 15 and then at a one minute one minute 15 and then at a one minute one minute 15 and then at a certain moment you will feel so much certain moment you will feel so much certain moment you will feel so much energy then you are driven by your inner energy then you are driven by your inner energy then you are driven by your inner nature again nature again nature again because it is your inner nature man we because it is your inner nature man we because it is your inner nature man we want to wake up to your true power
47:00want to wake up to your true power want to wake up to your true power when that happens it will take over when that happens it will take over when that happens it will take over it's like to say oh yeah that girl is it's like to say oh yeah that girl is it's like to say oh yeah that girl is not good for you man don't go over there not good for you man don't go over there not good for you man don't go over there if you love you just go if you love you just go if you love you just go if you feel yeah nobody's able to say if you feel yeah nobody's able to say if you feel yeah nobody's able to say something about it once you feel your something about it once you feel your something about it once you feel your true power your natural power true power your natural power true power your natural power your energy coming your energy coming your energy coming yeah whatever anybody says you will go yeah whatever anybody says you will go yeah whatever anybody says you will go back to that source of that great energy back to that source of that great energy back to that source of that great energy do you think whim you know my audience do you think whim you know my audience do you think whim you know my audience is also very interested in making is also very interested in making is also very interested in making healthy dietary choices trying to eat healthy dietary choices trying to eat healthy dietary choices trying to eat clean Etc do you think that the clean Etc do you think that the clean Etc do you think that the combination of breath work and also some combination of breath work and also some combination of breath work and also some bit of cold exposure to whatever degree bit of cold exposure to whatever degree bit of cold exposure to whatever degree people can handle especially if they're people can handle especially if they're people can handle especially if they're first starting out it means just like first starting out it means just like first starting out it means just like you said 15 seconds cold shower right you said 15 seconds cold shower right you said 15 seconds cold shower right just building up slowly do you think and just building up slowly do you think and just building up slowly do you think and have you seen at least anecdotally in have you seen at least anecdotally in have you seen at least anecdotally in your world when people do breath work
48:00your world when people do breath work your world when people do breath work when people do cold they also are likely when people do cold they also are likely when people do cold they also are likely to make healthier decisions to make healthier decisions to make healthier decisions with their diet and just anything you with their diet and just anything you with their diet and just anything you know they're less likely to produce know they're less likely to produce know they're less likely to produce pursue substances they're less likely to pursue substances they're less likely to pursue substances they're less likely to want to seek out Ultra processed food want to seek out Ultra processed food want to seek out Ultra processed food have you noticed that in your life have you noticed that in your life have you noticed that in your life yeah sure food can be a drug yeah sure food can be a drug yeah sure food can be a drug a compensation a compensation a compensation compensatory uh uh means for your mood compensatory uh uh means for your mood compensatory uh uh means for your mood yet through going into the cold yet through going into the cold yet through going into the cold and doing the breathing you learn to and doing the breathing you learn to and doing the breathing you learn to cleanse yourself cleanse yourself cleanse yourself you'll learn to have more energy you'll learn to have more energy you'll learn to have more energy and you learn to control your moods and you learn to control your moods and you learn to control your moods it's all full packets it's all full packets it's all full packets and then of course and then of course and then of course your mind is not driven by appetite to your mind is not driven by appetite to your mind is not driven by appetite to compensate for a loss in mood so a lot compensate for a loss in mood so a lot compensate for a loss in mood so a lot of the addictions that people have you of the addictions that people have you of the addictions that people have you feel are a compensation component for feel are a compensation component for feel are a compensation component for the mood that they might be feeling but
49:00the mood that they might be feeling but the mood that they might be feeling but if you have a good if you have a good if you have a good equilibrium and you're feeling aliveness equilibrium and you're feeling aliveness equilibrium and you're feeling aliveness inside you're not seeking out those inside you're not seeking out those inside you're not seeking out those other things to compensate other things to compensate other things to compensate exactly exactly exactly and then in the end and then in the end and then in the end when you create more energy in the body when you create more energy in the body when you create more energy in the body nowadays the food a lot of food is not nowadays the food a lot of food is not nowadays the food a lot of food is not clean clean clean it's just not clean it's just not clean it's just not clean there is a lot of numbers in numbers there is a lot of numbers in numbers there is a lot of numbers in numbers antioxidants preservatives and then we antioxidants preservatives and then we antioxidants preservatives and then we again to pesticides and again to pesticides and again to pesticides and fungicides and this sites and all sides fungicides and this sites and all sides fungicides and this sites and all sides except for clean food except for clean food except for clean food and we need to clean that food in the and we need to clean that food in the and we need to clean that food in the process in the South because food equals process in the South because food equals process in the South because food equals energy yet if food is full of energy yet if food is full of energy yet if food is full of we need energy to process the food we need energy to process the food we need energy to process the food coming in and to get rid of the coming in and to get rid of the coming in and to get rid of the and what results in is little amount of
50:00and what results in is little amount of and what results in is little amount of energy because it has been taken to get energy because it has been taken to get energy because it has been taken to get rid of the poisoning rid of the poisoning rid of the poisoning you're so poisoning so if you go into you're so poisoning so if you go into you're so poisoning so if you go into the cold if you do the breathing you the cold if you do the breathing you the cold if you do the breathing you create extra energy and that is able to create extra energy and that is able to create extra energy and that is able to tackle that problem but in the in tackle that problem but in the in tackle that problem but in the in principle I say let food be food that's it that's it beautiful and where does exercise fit beautiful and where does exercise fit beautiful and where does exercise fit into all of this in your life and your into all of this in your life and your into all of this in your life and your Viewpoint right you have the breath work Viewpoint right you have the breath work Viewpoint right you have the breath work you have the cold exposure you have the you have the cold exposure you have the you have the cold exposure you have the food man if you see me I train with the food man if you see me I train with the food man if you see me I train with the best fighters in the world best fighters in the world best fighters in the world I'm 64. I'm strong like a bull I'm 64. I'm strong like a bull I'm 64. I'm strong like a bull and flexible like a ballerina and flexible like a ballerina and flexible like a ballerina I do splits everywhere all the time yeah I do splits everywhere all the time yeah I do splits everywhere all the time yeah I've seen videos I
51:00I've seen videos I I've seen videos I think think think we're big we're big we're big big muscles three times bigger than me big muscles three times bigger than me big muscles three times bigger than me I just cannot do it I just cannot do it I just cannot do it why why why because when you go into the cold because when you go into the cold because when you go into the cold it seems that your body is doing nothing it seems that your body is doing nothing it seems that your body is doing nothing but it needs to work like hell but it needs to work like hell but it needs to work like hell to compensate to compensate to compensate into the Adaptive processes with the icy into the Adaptive processes with the icy into the Adaptive processes with the icy water water water and if you do that on a regular basis and if you do that on a regular basis and if you do that on a regular basis it's like either a it's like either a it's like either a cardiovascular fitness and your tendons cardiovascular fitness and your tendons cardiovascular fitness and your tendons they become strong like iron they become strong like iron they become strong like iron like cable strong like cable strong like cable strong literally literally literally I can do stuff I can do stuff I can do stuff well tomorrow I'm going to show a inner well tomorrow I'm going to show a inner well tomorrow I'm going to show a inner filming I got filming like four hours or filming I got filming like four hours or filming I got filming like four hours or something to show what people can do something to show what people can do something to show what people can do they become 50 and older I'm 64.
52:00they become 50 and older I'm 64. they become 50 and older I'm 64. but I'm strong like but I'm strong like but I'm strong like I'm stronger as a man and I'm stronger as a man and I'm stronger as a man and that is because of the call that is because of the call that is because of the call yeah I've done my work inside the work yeah I've done my work inside the work yeah I've done my work inside the work inside is fully functioning inside is fully functioning inside is fully functioning and it is much more than when you let it and it is much more than when you let it and it is much more than when you let it go go go and another thing is when you get older and another thing is when you get older and another thing is when you get older and you go into the cold you don't and you go into the cold you don't and you go into the cold you don't become sick no more become sick no more become sick no more it looks like oh he's promising you know it looks like oh he's promising you know it looks like oh he's promising you know a lot but you can ask any person who a lot but you can ask any person who a lot but you can ask any person who goes regularly into uh I see swimming in goes regularly into uh I see swimming in goes regularly into uh I see swimming in the winter natural bodies throughout the the winter natural bodies throughout the the winter natural bodies throughout the winter they do not become sick compare winter they do not become sick compare winter they do not become sick compare those those those who do not do anything in the cold who do not do anything in the cold who do not do anything in the cold there you see a huge difference there you see a huge difference there you see a huge difference and that is what Colt is doing to our and that is what Colt is doing to our and that is what Colt is doing to our bodies and so in the morning you can see
53:00bodies and so in the morning you can see bodies and so in the morning you can see me me me exercising exercising exercising crazy man what I do is crazy but crazy man what I do is crazy but crazy man what I do is crazy but beautiful strong beautiful strong beautiful strong I feel my body I feel my body I feel my body he is aware I'm strong I love my life he is aware I'm strong I love my life he is aware I'm strong I love my life when I I'm not afraid of dying when I I'm not afraid of dying when I I'm not afraid of dying absolutely not because I know that I've absolutely not because I know that I've absolutely not because I know that I've done what I needed to do in this world done what I needed to do in this world done what I needed to do in this world the purpose is to bring love the purpose is to bring love the purpose is to bring love the purpose is to bring awareness pure the purpose is to bring awareness pure the purpose is to bring awareness pure awareness and now it's happening it's awareness and now it's happening it's awareness and now it's happening it's what it's getting all over the planet what it's getting all over the planet what it's getting all over the planet millions and millions of millions of millions and millions of millions of millions and millions of millions of people are doing this God amazing people are doing this God amazing people are doing this God amazing why because it works because we have to why because it works because we have to why because it works because we have to look learn to look inside to go back look learn to look inside to go back look learn to look inside to go back inside we found the techniques they are inside we found the techniques they are inside we found the techniques they are like keys to the inside and then
54:00like keys to the inside and then like keys to the inside and then suddenly our true nature comes there and suddenly our true nature comes there and suddenly our true nature comes there and with that naturally comes the purpose with that naturally comes the purpose with that naturally comes the purpose because there is no purpose in because there is no purpose in because there is no purpose in depression there is no purpose in depression there is no purpose in depression there is no purpose in disease disease only to show that we need to become only to show that we need to become only to show that we need to become happy strong and healthy which are the happy strong and healthy which are the happy strong and healthy which are the characteristics of a happy soul characteristics of a happy soul characteristics of a happy soul hmm that's beautiful when while I have a hmm that's beautiful when while I have a hmm that's beautiful when while I have a little bit more time for you you know little bit more time for you you know little bit more time for you you know you talk about cold and obviously you you talk about cold and obviously you you talk about cold and obviously you come from an area that is also really come from an area that is also really come from an area that is also really prioritizes heat exposure but where does prioritizes heat exposure but where does prioritizes heat exposure but where does heat and sauna fit into all of this and heat and sauna fit into all of this and heat and sauna fit into all of this and do you feel that it is just as important do you feel that it is just as important do you feel that it is just as important as cold or you feel that cold is more as cold or you feel that cold is more as cold or you feel that cold is more important than Heat important than Heat important than Heat yes call this uh a lot more important yes call this uh a lot more important yes call this uh a lot more important why because it is stressed throughout why because it is stressed throughout why because it is stressed throughout bodies and when we learn to bodies and when we learn to bodies and when we learn to consciously go into the court
55:00consciously go into the court consciously go into the court we strengthen our willpower which is a we strengthen our willpower which is a we strengthen our willpower which is a prefrontal cortex prefrontal cortex prefrontal cortex which is a part of the brain which then which is a part of the brain which then which is a part of the brain which then is able to connect with the deepest of is able to connect with the deepest of is able to connect with the deepest of our brain which is the very aqueductal our brain which is the very aqueductal our brain which is the very aqueductal the brainstorm the brainstorm the brainstorm when that once that connects because you when that once that connects because you when that once that connects because you go into survival mode when you go into go into survival mode when you go into go into survival mode when you go into the calls and then you learn to go the calls and then you learn to go the calls and then you learn to go through the initial stressful response through the initial stressful response through the initial stressful response and find adaptation find calmness find and find adaptation find calmness find and find adaptation find calmness find deep control deep control deep control and that connects us with the deep brain and that connects us with the deep brain and that connects us with the deep brain that is the way to learn to connect with that is the way to learn to connect with that is the way to learn to connect with the deep brain and once you learn to go the deep brain and once you learn to go the deep brain and once you learn to go to the deepest of our brain to the deepest of our brain to the deepest of our brain nowhere else can you not go nowhere else can you not go nowhere else can you not go it is the ultimate mental exercise it is the ultimate mental exercise it is the ultimate mental exercise and heat is not doing that
56:00and heat is not doing that and heat is not doing that it is passively but to encodes you need it is passively but to encodes you need it is passively but to encodes you need to go actively into the deepest part of to go actively into the deepest part of to go actively into the deepest part of the brain and only then you learn to the brain and only then you learn to the brain and only then you learn to gain control over your brain then the gain control over your brain then the gain control over your brain then the blood flow learns to go everywhere blood flow learns to go everywhere blood flow learns to go everywhere I love it that's great I love it that's great I love it that's great uh whim this has been fantastic and you uh whim this has been fantastic and you uh whim this has been fantastic and you know I want to be honoring of your time know I want to be honoring of your time know I want to be honoring of your time because I think I told your team that because I think I told your team that because I think I told your team that you know we'd only keep you for about an you know we'd only keep you for about an you know we'd only keep you for about an hour or so you know any final messages hour or so you know any final messages hour or so you know any final messages that you want to leave the audience with that you want to leave the audience with that you want to leave the audience with I mean I feel like the whole uh podcast I mean I feel like the whole uh podcast I mean I feel like the whole uh podcast was an excellent sort of you really are was an excellent sort of you really are was an excellent sort of you really are the hype man you know I don't know if the hype man you know I don't know if the hype man you know I don't know if you guys have that term out there but you guys have that term out there but you guys have that term out there but the hype man is the person that gets you the hype man is the person that gets you the hype man is the person that gets you excited about doing what you know you're excited about doing what you know you're excited about doing what you know you're capable of doing and I think that's what capable of doing and I think that's what capable of doing and I think that's what you've done for today for our audience you've done for today for our audience you've done for today for our audience any final words that you want to leave any final words that you want to leave any final words that you want to leave the audience with the audience with the audience with yes yes yes hey guys love is within your vicinity

58:00I love it beautiful message because our breathing can help take control of our breathing can help take control of our breathing can help take control of our chronic inflammation we can breathe in chronic inflammation we can breathe in chronic inflammation we can breathe in ways to reduce inflammation and if you ways to reduce inflammation and if you ways to reduce inflammation and if you look at all of the top Killers right now look at all of the top Killers right now look at all of the top Killers right now these are diseases of inflammation and these are diseases of inflammation and these are diseases of inflammation and if you look at what happens with covid if you look at what happens with covid if you look at what happens with covid this is a virus that causes Mass this is a virus that causes Mass this is a virus that causes Mass inflammation throughout the body and inflammation throughout the body and inflammation throughout the body and infects the respiratory system so you infects the respiratory system so you infects the respiratory system so you need to be breathing properly hi need to be breathing properly hi need to be breathing properly hi everyone Drew prot here host of the everyone Drew prot here host of the everyone Drew prot here host of the broken brain podcast today we're talking broken brain podcast today we're talking broken brain podcast today we're talking all about the breath with International all about the breath with International all about the breath with International best seller James Nester he's the author best seller James Nester he's the author best seller James Nester he's the author of a book that's been a game changer for of a book that's been a game changer for of a book that's been a game changer for so many it's called breath the new so many it's called breath the new so many it's called breath the new science of a lost art and I'm going to science of a lost art and I'm going to science of a lost art and I'm going to read you a quote that perfectly sums up read you a quote that perfectly sums up read you a quote that perfectly sums up what we're going to get into in the what we're going to get into in the what we're going to get into in the podcast James and his book writes no podcast James and his book writes no podcast James and his book writes no matter what we eat how much we exercise matter what we eat how much we exercise matter what we eat how much we exercise how skinny or young or wise we are none how skinny or young or wise we are none how skinny or young or wise we are none of it will matter unless we're breathing of it will matter unless we're breathing of it will matter unless we're breathing correctly
59:00correctly correctly if you want to know how to breathe if you want to know how to breathe if you want to know how to breathe correctly and how so many things can go correctly and how so many things can go correctly and how so many things can go wrong when you don't this is the wrong when you don't this is the wrong when you don't this is the interview for you stay tuned for a interview for you stay tuned for a interview for you stay tuned for a fascinating conversation with James fascinating conversation with James fascinating conversation with James Nester welcome to the broken brain Nester welcome to the broken brain Nester welcome to the broken brain podcast I'm your host Drew Pruitt and podcast I'm your host Drew Pruitt and podcast I'm your host Drew Pruitt and each week my team and I bring on a new each week my team and I bring on a new each week my team and I bring on a new guest who can help you improve your guest who can help you improve your guest who can help you improve your brain health feel better and most brain health feel better and most brain health feel better and most importantly live more this week's guest importantly live more this week's guest importantly live more this week's guest is James Nester James is an author is James Nester James is an author is James Nester James is an author journalist who has written for journalist who has written for journalist who has written for scientific America outside the New York scientific America outside the New York scientific America outside the New York Times and many more other Publications Times and many more other Publications Times and many more other Publications his latest book breath the new science his latest book breath the new science his latest book breath the new science of a lost art was released in May of of a lost art was released in May of of a lost art was released in May of this year and was an instantaneous New this year and was an instantaneous New this year and was an instantaneous New York Times bestseller Brett explores how York Times bestseller Brett explores how York Times bestseller Brett explores how the human species has lost the ability the human species has lost the ability the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly and how to get it to breathe properly and how to get it to breathe properly and how to get it back James has appeared on dozens of back James has appeared on dozens of back James has appeared on dozens of national television shows including national television shows including national television shows including ABC's nightlines CBS and NPR I can't
1:00ABC's nightlines CBS and NPR I can't ABC's nightlines CBS and NPR I can't wait to listen to his interview with one wait to listen to his interview with one wait to listen to his interview with one of my hosts that I look up to Terry of my hosts that I look up to Terry of my hosts that I look up to Terry Gross on Fresh Air he lives and breeds Gross on Fresh Air he lives and breeds Gross on Fresh Air he lives and breeds in San Francisco James welcome to the in San Francisco James welcome to the in San Francisco James welcome to the broken brain podcast thanks a lot for broken brain podcast thanks a lot for broken brain podcast thanks a lot for having me yeah I've been fascinated with having me yeah I've been fascinated with having me yeah I've been fascinated with your book and been diving into it in the your book and been diving into it in the your book and been diving into it in the audio version and as we were chit audio version and as we were chit audio version and as we were chit chatting a little earlier we've done a chatting a little earlier we've done a chatting a little earlier we've done a bunch of episodes on breathing with a bunch of episodes on breathing with a bunch of episodes on breathing with a few mutual friends that we've had on the few mutual friends that we've had on the few mutual friends that we've had on the podcast but I feel that your book breath podcast but I feel that your book breath podcast but I feel that your book breath really in a beautiful way through your really in a beautiful way through your really in a beautiful way through your narrative and your story and your health narrative and your story and your health narrative and your story and your health issues that you openly share about ties issues that you openly share about ties issues that you openly share about ties in all the dots together so to set us up in all the dots together so to set us up in all the dots together so to set us up I want to take a quote that starts off I want to take a quote that starts off I want to take a quote that starts off from the beginning of the book to frame from the beginning of the book to frame from the beginning of the book to frame the conversation and then get into your the conversation and then get into your the conversation and then get into your hero's journey so in the book you share hero's journey so in the book you share hero's journey so in the book you share that no matter what we eat how much we that no matter what we eat how much we that no matter what we eat how much we exercise how skinny or young we are or exercise how skinny or young we are or exercise how skinny or young we are or wise we are none of it will matter wise we are none of it will matter wise we are none of it will matter unless we're breathing correctly when
1:01unless we're breathing correctly when unless we're breathing correctly when did you first start to become aware of did you first start to become aware of did you first start to become aware of how Central the breath was in our how Central the breath was in our how Central the breath was in our breathing process to human health breathing process to human health breathing process to human health it took me years and years I had heard it took me years and years I had heard it took me years and years I had heard about the potential breathing I'd about the potential breathing I'd about the potential breathing I'd experienced some pretty powerful breath experienced some pretty powerful breath experienced some pretty powerful breath work years and years ago but it wasn't work years and years ago but it wasn't work years and years ago but it wasn't until I really started talking to until I really started talking to until I really started talking to biological anthropologists until I biological anthropologists until I biological anthropologists until I started going down to Stanford and started going down to Stanford and started going down to Stanford and talking with rhinologists and talking with rhinologists and talking with rhinologists and pulmonologists that I realized that pulmonologists that I realized that pulmonologists that I realized that breathing was so essential to so many breathing was so essential to so many breathing was so essential to so many things that we don't really consider it things that we don't really consider it things that we don't really consider it to be so closely linked to metabolism to be so closely linked to metabolism to be so closely linked to metabolism sleep stress on and on and on but but sleep stress on and on and on but but sleep stress on and on and on but but breathing affects all of these things breathing affects all of these things breathing affects all of these things it's really the anchor that anchors all it's really the anchor that anchors all it's really the anchor that anchors all of the systems to our body and if we're of the systems to our body and if we're of the systems to our body and if we're not doing that correctly we're never not doing that correctly we're never not doing that correctly we're never ever going to be healthy and this was ever going to be healthy and this was ever going to be healthy and this was news to me and I was surprised that it news to me and I was surprised that it news to me and I was surprised that it took me so long to figure this out
1:02took me so long to figure this out took me so long to figure this out there's your personal health journey and there's your personal health journey and there's your personal health journey and I'd love for you to share a little bit I'd love for you to share a little bit I'd love for you to share a little bit of background information with our of background information with our of background information with our audience even though you are a audience even though you are a audience even though you are a journalist and you've written about deep journalist and you've written about deep journalist and you've written about deep sea divers people who hold their breath sea divers people who hold their breath sea divers people who hold their breath for minutes at a time and you were for minutes at a time and you were for minutes at a time and you were highlighting them in parallel with that highlighting them in parallel with that highlighting them in parallel with that work there's also your own health issues work there's also your own health issues work there's also your own health issues that you've been dealing with can you that you've been dealing with can you that you've been dealing with can you share that parallel with our audience share that parallel with our audience share that parallel with our audience yeah my health issues were really yeah my health issues were really yeah my health issues were really everyone else's health issues they were everyone else's health issues they were everyone else's health issues they were nothing really extraordinary I was nothing really extraordinary I was nothing really extraordinary I was growing up in Southern California so growing up in Southern California so growing up in Southern California so exposed to a lot of smog uh I got braces exposed to a lot of smog uh I got braces exposed to a lot of smog uh I got braces I got extractions I had headgear all I got extractions I had headgear all I got extractions I had headgear all very normal things it was never when I very normal things it was never when I very normal things it was never when I was growing up if you were going to get was growing up if you were going to get was growing up if you were going to get braces but just when you were going to braces but just when you were going to braces but just when you were going to be doing it so I didn't think that that be doing it so I didn't think that that be doing it so I didn't think that that would affect my breathing in any way who would affect my breathing in any way who would affect my breathing in any way who would have thought until much later on would have thought until much later on would have thought until much later on in life where I was very active I was in life where I was very active I was in life where I was very active I was boxing a lot doing martial arts surfing boxing a lot doing martial arts surfing boxing a lot doing martial arts surfing running but I was just getting sick all
1:03running but I was just getting sick all running but I was just getting sick all the time so it changed my diet eat even the time so it changed my diet eat even the time so it changed my diet eat even more healthily I would sleep even more more healthily I would sleep even more more healthily I would sleep even more hours like Beyond eight hours but I was hours like Beyond eight hours but I was hours like Beyond eight hours but I was getting sick constantly I was getting getting sick constantly I was getting getting sick constantly I was getting pneumonia year in and year out very mild pneumonia year in and year out very mild pneumonia year in and year out very mild pneumonia nothing too serious bronchitis pneumonia nothing too serious bronchitis pneumonia nothing too serious bronchitis on and on and on and I was told that on and on and on and I was told that on and on and on and I was told that this was just a part of of growing old this was just a part of of growing old this was just a part of of growing old but that didn't seem right to me I but that didn't seem right to me I but that didn't seem right to me I wanted to see if I could do something wanted to see if I could do something wanted to see if I could do something about it so I started exploring the role about it so I started exploring the role about it so I started exploring the role that breath has in our General Health in that breath has in our General Health in that breath has in our General Health in our metabolism in our capacity to think our metabolism in our capacity to think our metabolism in our capacity to think clearly and through several years very clearly and through several years very clearly and through several years very casually I was reading books on this I casually I was reading books on this I casually I was reading books on this I was collecting studies until that file was collecting studies until that file was collecting studies until that file cabinet got big enough that I figured cabinet got big enough that I figured cabinet got big enough that I figured there might be a book in all this there might be a book in all this there might be a book in all this and powerful and you mentioned Stanford and powerful and you mentioned Stanford and powerful and you mentioned Stanford you went to Stanford through personal you went to Stanford through personal you went to Stanford through personal experimentation and wanting to go and experimentation and wanting to go and experimentation and wanting to go and really see what does your breathing really see what does your breathing really see what does your breathing capabilities look like and in that capabilities look like and in that capabilities look like and in that Discovery and in your reading you learn Discovery and in your reading you learn Discovery and in your reading you learn something very important about human something very important about human something very important about human evolution which is an early part of the
1:04evolution which is an early part of the evolution which is an early part of the book that helps really understand book that helps really understand book that helps really understand what sort of crazy times we're living in what sort of crazy times we're living in what sort of crazy times we're living in in modern society that is so connected in modern society that is so connected in modern society that is so connected to to breath so before we get into your to to breath so before we get into your to to breath so before we get into your personal experimentation at Stanford personal experimentation at Stanford personal experimentation at Stanford tell us a little bit what you learned tell us a little bit what you learned tell us a little bit what you learned about human evolution and what's about human evolution and what's about human evolution and what's happened specifically in the last 1.5 happened specifically in the last 1.5 happened specifically in the last 1.5 million to about 800 000 years million to about 800 000 years million to about 800 000 years so a lot of people think that so many of so a lot of people think that so many of so a lot of people think that so many of the breathing problems that we're the breathing problems that we're the breathing problems that we're suffering from are all due to suffering from are all due to suffering from are all due to environmental input to pollution or environmental input to pollution or environmental input to pollution or allergens and that's true for for some allergens and that's true for for some allergens and that's true for for some people for sure but what I've found is people for sure but what I've found is people for sure but what I've found is most of the breathing issues that most most of the breathing issues that most most of the breathing issues that most of us suffer from are caused by of us suffer from are caused by of us suffer from are caused by evolutionary change so anatomical evolutionary change so anatomical evolutionary change so anatomical changes that have occurred in our faces changes that have occurred in our faces changes that have occurred in our faces so I had always learned in school which so I had always learned in school which so I had always learned in school which for me was was a million years ago that for me was was a million years ago that for me was was a million years ago that Evolution was Progressive that we were Evolution was Progressive that we were Evolution was Progressive that we were just getting stronger we were getting just getting stronger we were getting just getting stronger we were getting better we were getting fitter which is better we were getting fitter which is
1:05better we were getting fitter which is complete garbage and if you look at the complete garbage and if you look at the complete garbage and if you look at the human species you can see how wrong that human species you can see how wrong that human species you can see how wrong that is we are not getting fitter and is we are not getting fitter and is we are not getting fitter and stronger and better and our breathing stronger and better and our breathing stronger and better and our breathing has taken one of the biggest hits and has taken one of the biggest hits and has taken one of the biggest hits and what I mean by that is our faces have what I mean by that is our faces have what I mean by that is our faces have grown so flat and our mouths have grown grown so flat and our mouths have grown grown so flat and our mouths have grown so small that our teeth no longer fit so small that our teeth no longer fit so small that our teeth no longer fit they grow in crooked and if you have a they grow in crooked and if you have a they grow in crooked and if you have a mouth that's too small for its face you mouth that's too small for its face you mouth that's too small for its face you have a smaller Airway which makes it have a smaller Airway which makes it have a smaller Airway which makes it harder to breathe so we're pretty much harder to breathe so we're pretty much harder to breathe so we're pretty much hosed right out of the gate to be hosed right out of the gate to be hosed right out of the gate to be suffering to be more apt to suffer from suffering to be more apt to suffer from suffering to be more apt to suffer from dysfunctional breathing right from birth dysfunctional breathing right from birth dysfunctional breathing right from birth and it was fascinating to me to spend and it was fascinating to me to spend and it was fascinating to me to spend weeks and weeks looking through ancient weeks and weeks looking through ancient weeks and weeks looking through ancient human skulls I went to Labs at the human skulls I went to Labs at the human skulls I went to Labs at the University of Pennsylvania talked to University of Pennsylvania talked to University of Pennsylvania talked to biological anthropologists looked at biological anthropologists looked at biological anthropologists looked at hundreds of these things all of our hundreds of these things all of our hundreds of these things all of our ancestors had straight teeth all of them ancestors had straight teeth all of them ancestors had straight teeth all of them and only modern humans were the only and only modern humans were the only and only modern humans were the only species to have chronically crooked species to have chronically crooked species to have chronically crooked teeth and so if you believe that teeth and so if you believe that teeth and so if you believe that evolution is Progressive all you need do
1:06evolution is Progressive all you need do evolution is Progressive all you need do is look in the mirror and then look at is look in the mirror and then look at is look in the mirror and then look at our ancestors and you'll see how wrong our ancestors and you'll see how wrong our ancestors and you'll see how wrong that is that is that is it's so true and uh a friend of mine it's so true and uh a friend of mine it's so true and uh a friend of mine from The New York Times writer um his from The New York Times writer um his from The New York Times writer um his name is anahata O'Connor he's written a name is anahata O'Connor he's written a name is anahata O'Connor he's written a few articles about modern day few articles about modern day few articles about modern day hunter-gatherer societies and people who hunter-gatherer societies and people who hunter-gatherer societies and people who listen to this podcast will also be listen to this podcast will also be listen to this podcast will also be familiar with some of our interviews familiar with some of our interviews familiar with some of our interviews with dentists where they've talked about with dentists where they've talked about with dentists where they've talked about Dr Weston Price and a few years ago I Dr Weston Price and a few years ago I Dr Weston Price and a few years ago I went to Kenya to visit one of these went to Kenya to visit one of these went to Kenya to visit one of these modern day hunter-gatherer societies modern day hunter-gatherer societies modern day hunter-gatherer societies called the called the called the um their their cousins of the Messiah um their their cousins of the Messiah um their their cousins of the Messiah called the samburu tribe and they called the samburu tribe and they called the samburu tribe and they primarily consist on a diet of milk primarily consist on a diet of milk primarily consist on a diet of milk they've been doing that Twigs eating they've been doing that Twigs eating they've been doing that Twigs eating their teeth are perfect they all fit in their teeth are perfect they all fit in their teeth are perfect they all fit in they have the most beautiful smiles they they have the most beautiful smiles they they have the most beautiful smiles they don't have access to Modern Dentistry so don't have access to Modern Dentistry so don't have access to Modern Dentistry so when they do get into an accident that when they do get into an accident that when they do get into an accident that is a problematic because they can get a is a problematic because they can get a is a problematic because they can get a tooth infection or other things but tooth infection or other things but tooth infection or other things but outside of accidents or fighting or sort outside of accidents or fighting or sort outside of accidents or fighting or sort of things like that they have impeccable
1:07of things like that they have impeccable of things like that they have impeccable teeth and their jaws look more wider teeth and their jaws look more wider teeth and their jaws look more wider more whole and more richer than our more whole and more richer than our more whole and more richer than our hours do and it reminded me that trip of hours do and it reminded me that trip of hours do and it reminded me that trip of something that you posted on Twitter something that you posted on Twitter something that you posted on Twitter that is related to what you just shared that is related to what you just shared that is related to what you just shared which was you linked to an article I which was you linked to an article I which was you linked to an article I believe it was in believe it was in believe it was in um a UK paper maybe the independent or um a UK paper maybe the independent or um a UK paper maybe the independent or the guardian and it was featuring how we the guardian and it was featuring how we the guardian and it was featuring how we are actually potentially going backwards are actually potentially going backwards are actually potentially going backwards that human evolution is not going that human evolution is not going that human evolution is not going forwards and you said the article said forwards and you said the article said forwards and you said the article said more babies are being born today without more babies are being born today without more babies are being born today without wisdom teeth and you commented on the wisdom teeth and you commented on the wisdom teeth and you commented on the article and said maybe we're not always article and said maybe we're not always article and said maybe we're not always in evolution this could be an example of in evolution this could be an example of in evolution this could be an example of dis evolution dis evolution dis evolution well this evolution is a known thing well this evolution is a known thing well this evolution is a known thing Daniel lieberman's been studying this Daniel lieberman's been studying this Daniel lieberman's been studying this for years and years and uh what what it for years and years and uh what what it for years and years and uh what what it is is we can't say this is the evolution is is we can't say this is the evolution is is we can't say this is the evolution because we're not moving backwards because we're not moving backwards because we're not moving backwards Evolution means change so we're Evolution means change so we're Evolution means change so we're constantly changing but we're not constantly changing but we're not constantly changing but we're not changing for for the best right we're changing for for the best right we're changing for for the best right we're taking a very steep left turn and if you
1:08taking a very steep left turn and if you taking a very steep left turn and if you look at what's happening with wisdom look at what's happening with wisdom look at what's happening with wisdom teeth our ancestors didn't need their teeth our ancestors didn't need their teeth our ancestors didn't need their wisdom teeth extracted okay they uh but wisdom teeth extracted okay they uh but wisdom teeth extracted okay they uh but nearly all or I think over 50 percent of nearly all or I think over 50 percent of nearly all or I think over 50 percent of the human population I think it's way the human population I think it's way the human population I think it's way over that do need wisdom teeth extracted over that do need wisdom teeth extracted over that do need wisdom teeth extracted otherwise they they grow ingrown and otherwise they they grow ingrown and otherwise they they grow ingrown and they can cause a bunch of problems so they can cause a bunch of problems so they can cause a bunch of problems so that alone is is such a strange thing to that alone is is such a strange thing to that alone is is such a strange thing to me to think that we're now required to me to think that we're now required to me to think that we're now required to do all of these procedures just to get do all of these procedures just to get do all of these procedures just to get by and how our ancestors didn't need to by and how our ancestors didn't need to by and how our ancestors didn't need to do this so how that relates you know I do this so how that relates you know I do this so how that relates you know I wasn't too interested in teeth too wasn't too interested in teeth too wasn't too interested in teeth too interested in dentistry but how that interested in dentistry but how that interested in dentistry but how that relates to to breathing really struck me relates to to breathing really struck me relates to to breathing really struck me and it started make a whole bunch of and it started make a whole bunch of and it started make a whole bunch of things very very clear so early in the things very very clear so early in the things very very clear so early in the book one of the things that you brought book one of the things that you brought book one of the things that you brought up as you started to tell family friends up as you started to tell family friends up as you started to tell family friends individuals that you were looking into individuals that you were looking into individuals that you were looking into this topic of breathing and breath one this topic of breathing and breath one this topic of breathing and breath one of the first things that came up for of the first things that came up for of the first things that came up for folks was why do I need to learn how to folks was why do I need to learn how to folks was why do I need to learn how to breathe I've been doing this for most of
1:09breathe I've been doing this for most of breathe I've been doing this for most of my life so tell us the answer that my life so tell us the answer that my life so tell us the answer that question and question and question and help our audience understand help our audience understand help our audience understand why paying attention to their breath why paying attention to their breath why paying attention to their breath even though it's something they've done even though it's something they've done even though it's something they've done all along all along all along is actually something that could is actually something that could is actually something that could potentially help them alleviate from so potentially help them alleviate from so potentially help them alleviate from so many of these things that we've gotten many of these things that we've gotten many of these things that we've gotten used to as a species used to as a species used to as a species well a lot of people think that breeding well a lot of people think that breeding well a lot of people think that breeding is binary I certainly did is binary I certainly did is binary I certainly did it was if we were breathing that that it was if we were breathing that that it was if we were breathing that that was a good thing because we were live was a good thing because we were live was a good thing because we were live and if we weren't that was bad we were and if we weren't that was bad we were and if we weren't that was bad we were we were dead we were really sick or we were dead we were really sick or we were dead we were really sick or unconscious unconscious unconscious but how we breathe depends uh in it it but how we breathe depends uh in it it but how we breathe depends uh in it it influences so much of our health it's influences so much of our health it's influences so much of our health it's just like what we eat you can't just say just like what we eat you can't just say just like what we eat you can't just say as long as I'm eating food I'm alive and as long as I'm eating food I'm alive and as long as I'm eating food I'm alive and if I'm not eating food that's that's bad if I'm not eating food that's that's bad if I'm not eating food that's that's bad that you know it depends what kinds of that you know it depends what kinds of that you know it depends what kinds of food you're eating and with breathing food you're eating and with breathing food you're eating and with breathing it's it's how you take in that air we it's it's how you take in that air we
1:10it's it's how you take in that air we breathe about 20 000 to 25 breathe about 20 000 to 25 breathe about 20 000 to 25 000 times a day and if you're struggling 000 times a day and if you're struggling 000 times a day and if you're struggling to do that if you're doing that in a to do that if you're doing that in a to do that if you're doing that in a dysfunctional way it's going to affect dysfunctional way it's going to affect dysfunctional way it's going to affect your health so there's not a lot of your health so there's not a lot of your health so there's not a lot of controversy about this so anyone who's controversy about this so anyone who's controversy about this so anyone who's researched this knows that this is this researched this knows that this is this researched this knows that this is this is so true and there's so much science is so true and there's so much science is so true and there's so much science behind it but I was pretty shocked that behind it but I was pretty shocked that behind it but I was pretty shocked that it took me so long to figure this out it took me so long to figure this out it took me so long to figure this out and that everyone that I had talked to and that everyone that I had talked to and that everyone that I had talked to had no idea that they were breathing had no idea that they were breathing had no idea that they were breathing improperly and had no idea that so many improperly and had no idea that so many improperly and had no idea that so many of their chronic issues were attached to of their chronic issues were attached to of their chronic issues were attached to their poor breathing that's what I spent their poor breathing that's what I spent their poor breathing that's what I spent years and years trying to research get years and years trying to research get years and years trying to research get my head around my head around my head around and one of the ways that you research and one of the ways that you research and one of the ways that you research that in the beginning was as you start that in the beginning was as you start that in the beginning was as you start out the book is you went to Stanford and out the book is you went to Stanford and out the book is you went to Stanford and you met a doctor there to participate in you met a doctor there to participate in you met a doctor there to participate in a program share a little bit more about a program share a little bit more about a program share a little bit more about that that that so I'm lucky enough to live in San so I'm lucky enough to live in San so I'm lucky enough to live in San Francisco where I'm really close to Francisco where I'm really close to Francisco where I'm really close to Stanford so I use their medical Library Stanford so I use their medical Library Stanford so I use their medical Library all the time and I started interviewing all the time and I started interviewing all the time and I started interviewing experts there and I found the chief of experts there and I found the chief of experts there and I found the chief of rhinology research at Stanford this guy
1:11rhinology research at Stanford this guy rhinology research at Stanford this guy named Dr jayakar Nayak so we had these named Dr jayakar Nayak so we had these named Dr jayakar Nayak so we had these very long lunches where we talked about very long lunches where we talked about very long lunches where we talked about all types of things and he's a big nose all types of things and he's a big nose all types of things and he's a big nose guy so he's very frustrated that many of guy so he's very frustrated that many of guy so he's very frustrated that many of us aren't breathing through our noses us aren't breathing through our noses us aren't breathing through our noses because we have this incredible organ in because we have this incredible organ in because we have this incredible organ in the front of our faces that serves so the front of our faces that serves so the front of our faces that serves so many different functions and yet 25 to many different functions and yet 25 to many different functions and yet 25 to 50 percent of the population is 50 percent of the population is 50 percent of the population is breathing through its mouth habitually breathing through its mouth habitually breathing through its mouth habitually which is causing all kinds of damage which is causing all kinds of damage which is causing all kinds of damage neurological problems respiratory neurological problems respiratory neurological problems respiratory problems high blood pressure I mean on problems high blood pressure I mean on problems high blood pressure I mean on and on and on so we started talking more and on and on so we started talking more and on and on so we started talking more and more over a course of several months and more over a course of several months and more over a course of several months and he knew the problems associated with and he knew the problems associated with and he knew the problems associated with mouth breathing everyone in his field mouth breathing everyone in his field mouth breathing everyone in his field knew that but nobody knew how quickly knew that but nobody knew how quickly knew that but nobody knew how quickly those problems came on so I said yeah those problems came on so I said yeah those problems came on so I said yeah it's Stanford why don't why don't you it's Stanford why don't why don't you it's Stanford why don't why don't you test it and uh he thought doing so would test it and uh he thought doing so would test it and uh he thought doing so would be in his words unethical because he be in his words unethical because he be in his words unethical because he knew how injurious it could be to the knew how injurious it could be to the knew how injurious it could be to the body so I volunteered for an experiment
1:12body so I volunteered for an experiment body so I volunteered for an experiment I said hey let me get one other person I said hey let me get one other person I said hey let me get one other person so it's an N2 experiment and let's just so it's an N2 experiment and let's just so it's an N2 experiment and let's just see what happens 10 days of mouth see what happens 10 days of mouth see what happens 10 days of mouth breathing versus 10 days of nasal breathing versus 10 days of nasal breathing versus 10 days of nasal breathing and will collect a bunch of breathing and will collect a bunch of breathing and will collect a bunch of data before during and after and just data before during and after and just data before during and after and just see if it affects us in any way see if it affects us in any way see if it affects us in any way and you actually went through that and and you actually went through that and and you actually went through that and in that period of time when you in that period of time when you in that period of time when you purposely force yourself through a purposely force yourself through a purposely force yourself through a device on your nose just a little device on your nose just a little device on your nose just a little Contraption you force yourself to Contraption you force yourself to Contraption you force yourself to breathe through your mouth what did you breathe through your mouth what did you breathe through your mouth what did you notice and what was surprising about it notice and what was surprising about it notice and what was surprising about it so a lot of people at least my friends so a lot of people at least my friends so a lot of people at least my friends at the time thought this was some sort at the time thought this was some sort at the time thought this was some sort of Super Size Me stunt you know and I of Super Size Me stunt you know and I of Super Size Me stunt you know and I didn't view it that way at all and didn't view it that way at all and didn't view it that way at all and neither did Nyack or the researchers neither did Nyack or the researchers neither did Nyack or the researchers that were helping us out with this this that were helping us out with this this that were helping us out with this this little experiment we were just lulling little experiment we were just lulling little experiment we were just lulling ourselves into position that so much of ourselves into position that so much of ourselves into position that so much of the population is already contending the population is already contending the population is already contending with the difference was we were with the difference was we were with the difference was we were collecting data and and seeing what collecting data and and seeing what collecting data and and seeing what happened so I had silicon of my nose um
1:13happened so I had silicon of my nose um happened so I had silicon of my nose um sounds awful because it was and I was sounds awful because it was and I was sounds awful because it was and I was just forced to breathe through my mouth just forced to breathe through my mouth just forced to breathe through my mouth which sounds awful because it certainly which sounds awful because it certainly which sounds awful because it certainly was but but again so many people are was but but again so many people are was but but again so many people are doing this day in and day out and are doing this day in and day out and are doing this day in and day out and are used to it so the the first thing that used to it so the the first thing that used to it so the the first thing that happened within just a couple hours my happened within just a couple hours my happened within just a couple hours my blood pressure was as high as I'd ever blood pressure was as high as I'd ever blood pressure was as high as I'd ever seen it in my entire life and I thought seen it in my entire life and I thought seen it in my entire life and I thought oh I'm just stressed out it's been a oh I'm just stressed out it's been a oh I'm just stressed out it's been a crazy day we spent eight hours at crazy day we spent eight hours at crazy day we spent eight hours at Stanford getting four different blood Stanford getting four different blood Stanford getting four different blood draws pulmonary function tests you know draws pulmonary function tests you know draws pulmonary function tests you know not the most fun thing in the world but not the most fun thing in the world but not the most fun thing in the world but then that night I started snoring for then that night I started snoring for then that night I started snoring for the first time that I'm aware of the first time that I'm aware of the first time that I'm aware of starting for about an hour and a half starting for about an hour and a half starting for about an hour and a half and that snoring got worse and worse as and that snoring got worse and worse as and that snoring got worse and worse as the study went on until I was snoring the study went on until I was snoring the study went on until I was snoring for four hours throughout the night I for four hours throughout the night I for four hours throughout the night I got sleep apnea so did the other subject got sleep apnea so did the other subject got sleep apnea so did the other subject in the study Anders Olson had the same in the study Anders Olson had the same in the study Anders Olson had the same exact thing we were fatigued we were exact thing we were fatigued we were exact thing we were fatigued we were miserable we can concentrate I mean it miserable we can concentrate I mean it miserable we can concentrate I mean it was so severe we knew it wasn't going to was so severe we knew it wasn't going to was so severe we knew it wasn't going to be fun but we had no idea this was going be fun but we had no idea this was going be fun but we had no idea this was going to be so brutal and to think that so to be so brutal and to think that so to be so brutal and to think that so many people are walking around breathing many people are walking around breathing many people are walking around breathing this way and not realizing that at least
1:14this way and not realizing that at least this way and not realizing that at least some of the their chronic issues are some of the their chronic issues are some of the their chronic issues are tied to the ways in which they're tied to the ways in which they're tied to the ways in which they're breathing was just absolutely bizarre breathing was just absolutely bizarre breathing was just absolutely bizarre and kind of sad to me and kind of sad to me and kind of sad to me let's make sure we connect this back to let's make sure we connect this back to let's make sure we connect this back to the concept of our the concept of our the concept of our dis Evolution or de-evolution well this dis Evolution or de-evolution well this dis Evolution or de-evolution well this evolution evolution evolution how is it that since the root of farming how is it that since the root of farming how is it that since the root of farming and us more processing foods and and us more processing foods and and us more processing foods and switching our diet to things that switching our diet to things that switching our diet to things that um have have changed the way that we um have have changed the way that we um have have changed the way that we were really evolved as human beings to were really evolved as human beings to were really evolved as human beings to eat how has that had a direct impact on eat how has that had a direct impact on eat how has that had a direct impact on so many individuals that are out there so many individuals that are out there so many individuals that are out there that are mouth breathing and maybe not that are mouth breathing and maybe not that are mouth breathing and maybe not even realizing it even realizing it even realizing it so the very first incidence of so the very first incidence of so the very first incidence of widespread crooked teeth occurred about widespread crooked teeth occurred about widespread crooked teeth occurred about twelve thousand years ago with the very twelve thousand years ago with the very twelve thousand years ago with the very first farming cultures so right when we first farming cultures so right when we first farming cultures so right when we started farming right when we gave up started farming right when we gave up started farming right when we gave up hunting and Gathering we started getting hunting and Gathering we started getting hunting and Gathering we started getting crooked teeth but it wasn't bad at all crooked teeth but it wasn't bad at all crooked teeth but it wasn't bad at all at first these were cultures that were
1:15at first these were cultures that were at first these were cultures that were living on a mono diet you know just living on a mono diet you know just living on a mono diet you know just eating one soft thing for most farming eating one soft thing for most farming eating one soft thing for most farming cultures uh their their teeth were just cultures uh their their teeth were just cultures uh their their teeth were just fine because a lot of the food that they fine because a lot of the food that they fine because a lot of the food that they were farming was still rough they were were farming was still rough they were were farming was still rough they were chewing a lot but as food progressively chewing a lot but as food progressively chewing a lot but as food progressively got more soft and more processed got more soft and more processed got more soft and more processed especially when the Industrial especially when the Industrial especially when the Industrial Revolution really started booting up in Revolution really started booting up in Revolution really started booting up in the late 1700s early 1800s that's when the late 1700s early 1800s that's when the late 1700s early 1800s that's when you just saw widespread crooked teeth you just saw widespread crooked teeth you just saw widespread crooked teeth covering most of Western Europe and covering most of Western Europe and covering most of Western Europe and anywhere else where people were eating anywhere else where people were eating anywhere else where people were eating for the first time in human history a for the first time in human history a for the first time in human history a diet entirely a bottled stuff of canned diet entirely a bottled stuff of canned diet entirely a bottled stuff of canned stuff processed stuff high sugar stuff stuff processed stuff high sugar stuff stuff processed stuff high sugar stuff you know nothing pulled from the ground you know nothing pulled from the ground you know nothing pulled from the ground and you look at our society today what and you look at our society today what and you look at our society today what are we eating the same thing even what's are we eating the same thing even what's are we eating the same thing even what's considered healthy foods green smoothies considered healthy foods green smoothies considered healthy foods green smoothies avocados oatmeals yogurt Gogurt whatever avocados oatmeals yogurt Gogurt whatever avocados oatmeals yogurt Gogurt whatever it's all soft so it's no coincidence it's all soft so it's no coincidence it's all soft so it's no coincidence that our teeth are just growing more and that our teeth are just growing more and
1:16that our teeth are just growing more and more crooked so what happens is when you more crooked so what happens is when you more crooked so what happens is when you have that as we mentioned at the have that as we mentioned at the have that as we mentioned at the beginning of the program here when you beginning of the program here when you beginning of the program here when you have too small of a mouth you have a have too small of a mouth you have a have too small of a mouth you have a smaller Airway and so the incidence of smaller Airway and so the incidence of smaller Airway and so the incidence of snoring and sleep apnea and respiratory snoring and sleep apnea and respiratory snoring and sleep apnea and respiratory problems also dramatically increased problems also dramatically increased problems also dramatically increased with this Advent of the modern with this Advent of the modern with this Advent of the modern industrial diet and you can trace this industrial diet and you can trace this industrial diet and you can trace this all around the world as this diet went all around the world as this diet went all around the world as this diet went all around the world Mal's got smaller all around the world Mal's got smaller all around the world Mal's got smaller teeth got crooked respiratory problems teeth got crooked respiratory problems teeth got crooked respiratory problems shot through the roof shot through the roof shot through the roof yeah there's this old saying that it's yeah there's this old saying that it's yeah there's this old saying that it's like I don't know who discovered water like I don't know who discovered water like I don't know who discovered water but I know it wasn't a fish right I'm but I know it wasn't a fish right I'm but I know it wasn't a fish right I'm sure you've heard that our audience has sure you've heard that our audience has sure you've heard that our audience has heard that heard that heard that in a way we are living that because in a way we are living that because in a way we are living that because human beings we take breath human beings we take breath human beings we take breath so much for granted because it just so much for granted because it just so much for granted because it just feels like it's something that we're feels like it's something that we're feels like it's something that we're getting that we're doing getting that we're doing getting that we're doing um that we don't pay attention to it and um that we don't pay attention to it and um that we don't pay attention to it and we are suffering with all these aspects we are suffering with all these aspects we are suffering with all these aspects which you mentioned crooked teeth health which you mentioned crooked teeth health which you mentioned crooked teeth health issues as you started to go through
1:17issues as you started to go through issues as you started to go through these This research a little further you these This research a little further you these This research a little further you found many examples in different found many examples in different found many examples in different societies including Native American societies including Native American societies including Native American tribes and other cultures that were so tribes and other cultures that were so tribes and other cultures that were so focused on the importance of nose focused on the importance of nose focused on the importance of nose breathing and getting their children breathing and getting their children breathing and getting their children especially not to breathe through the especially not to breathe through the especially not to breathe through the mouth that it was baked into how kids mouth that it was baked into how kids mouth that it was baked into how kids were raised from a young age can you were raised from a young age can you were raised from a young age can you share some examples of that or a story share some examples of that or a story share some examples of that or a story that that comes to mind that that comes to mind that that comes to mind so if you look at ancient cultures all so if you look at ancient cultures all so if you look at ancient cultures all around the world whether it's in India around the world whether it's in India around the world whether it's in India or in China or Native Americans South or in China or Native Americans South or in China or Native Americans South America they celebrated breathing as a America they celebrated breathing as a America they celebrated breathing as a medicine this was a sacred thing this medicine this was a sacred thing this medicine this was a sacred thing this was as important as other systems of was as important as other systems of was as important as other systems of health and they wrote about it they health and they wrote about it they health and they wrote about it they practice it they had different practice it they had different practice it they had different Technologies different understanding and Technologies different understanding and Technologies different understanding and appreciation for it so one very appreciation for it so one very appreciation for it so one very interesting story that I was reading interesting story that I was reading interesting story that I was reading about was with George Catlin he was a about was with George Catlin he was a about was with George Catlin he was a painter and in the 1830s he decided to
1:18painter and in the 1830s he decided to painter and in the 1830s he decided to take off and go west and to start living take off and go west and to start living take off and go west and to start living with Native American tribes and this was with Native American tribes and this was with Native American tribes and this was before these tribes were given Western before these tribes were given Western before these tribes were given Western food it was before they had any of the food it was before they had any of the food it was before they had any of the Creature Comforts of of the West so what Creature Comforts of of the West so what Creature Comforts of of the West so what we understood of these tribes came much we understood of these tribes came much we understood of these tribes came much later after these people were already later after these people were already later after these people were already given alcohol and already so much of the given alcohol and already so much of the given alcohol and already so much of the the food and influence of Western the food and influence of Western the food and influence of Western culture but he was there before all that culture but he was there before all that culture but he was there before all that and he said in every single tribe they and he said in every single tribe they and he said in every single tribe they consider nasal breathing this font of consider nasal breathing this font of consider nasal breathing this font of health and mouth breathing was the most health and mouth breathing was the most health and mouth breathing was the most disrespectful thing you could do so much disrespectful thing you could do so much disrespectful thing you could do so much so that mothers used to hold their so that mothers used to hold their so that mothers used to hold their infants and whenever they were done infants and whenever they were done infants and whenever they were done nursing they would calmly shut their nursing they would calmly shut their nursing they would calmly shut their mouths and they would stand over them as mouths and they would stand over them as mouths and they would stand over them as the infant was sleeping and calmly shut the infant was sleeping and calmly shut the infant was sleeping and calmly shut the infant's mouth if they were opening the infant's mouth if they were opening the infant's mouth if they were opening their mouth at night and again there's their mouth at night and again there's their mouth at night and again there's so many health benefits to breathing so many health benefits to breathing so many health benefits to breathing through the nose and they obviously saw
1:19through the nose and they obviously saw through the nose and they obviously saw this through observational studies this through observational studies this through observational studies through empirical studies whatever but through empirical studies whatever but through empirical studies whatever but they weren't measuring it with with they weren't measuring it with with they weren't measuring it with with instruments but but they saw it and was instruments but but they saw it and was instruments but but they saw it and was woven into their culture and it had woven into their culture and it had woven into their culture and it had probably been woven into their culture probably been woven into their culture probably been woven into their culture for thousands and thousands of years and for thousands and thousands of years and for thousands and thousands of years and Catelyn went to South America and found Catelyn went to South America and found Catelyn went to South America and found the exact same thing with every single the exact same thing with every single the exact same thing with every single indigenous culture that he studied indigenous culture that he studied indigenous culture that he studied I grew up in the the Hindu brahmana I grew up in the the Hindu brahmana I grew up in the the Hindu brahmana Vedic tradition that's my family Vedic tradition that's my family Vedic tradition that's my family ancestry even though I don't identify by ancestry even though I don't identify by ancestry even though I don't identify by that now but I grew up in that tradition that now but I grew up in that tradition that now but I grew up in that tradition in that culture and I can remember for in that culture and I can remember for in that culture and I can remember for young age any time my grandmother would young age any time my grandmother would young age any time my grandmother would catch us breathing through our mouth if catch us breathing through our mouth if catch us breathing through our mouth if we were just sitting there she would we were just sitting there she would we were just sitting there she would tell us that it was a sign of being kind tell us that it was a sign of being kind tell us that it was a sign of being kind of lazy like hey don't be lazy close of lazy like hey don't be lazy close of lazy like hey don't be lazy close your mouth breathe through your nose and your mouth breathe through your nose and your mouth breathe through your nose and in ayurveda it was a big thing that was in ayurveda it was a big thing that was in ayurveda it was a big thing that was talked about especially because in the talked about especially because in the talked about especially because in the mornings uh being part of this brahmana mornings uh being part of this brahmana mornings uh being part of this brahmana tradition in India my dad would do tradition in India my dad would do tradition in India my dad would do something in the morning called Puja
1:20something in the morning called Puja something in the morning called Puja where you would have to recite certain where you would have to recite certain where you would have to recite certain things and do meditation for about 30 things and do meditation for about 30 things and do meditation for about 30 minutes and when we would use uh prayer minutes and when we would use uh prayer minutes and when we would use uh prayer beads Rosary you know has 108 beads that beads Rosary you know has 108 beads that beads Rosary you know has 108 beads that are around there you would time the are around there you would time the are around there you would time the breath which was breathing in through breath which was breathing in through breath which was breathing in through the nose and when I would be lazy and the nose and when I would be lazy and the nose and when I would be lazy and I'd breathe through the mouth my dad I'd breathe through the mouth my dad I'd breathe through the mouth my dad would say you can't do it that way you would say you can't do it that way you would say you can't do it that way you have to breathe in the nose these are have to breathe in the nose these are have to breathe in the nose these are all remnants of things that were passed all remnants of things that were passed all remnants of things that were passed down for Generations when I was young I down for Generations when I was young I down for Generations when I was young I just thought of him as ah this is all just thought of him as ah this is all just thought of him as ah this is all just superstitions but just superstitions but just superstitions but now we're learning how true they were now we're learning how true they were now we're learning how true they were and essentially a major part of our and essentially a major part of our and essentially a major part of our health health health I wish your mom was around Southern I wish your mom was around Southern I wish your mom was around Southern California in the 70s and 80s I couldn't California in the 70s and 80s I couldn't California in the 70s and 80s I couldn't really use some of that instruction and really use some of that instruction and really use some of that instruction and you know those those things have been you know those those things have been you know those those things have been around for so long likely for a reason around for so long likely for a reason around for so long likely for a reason because they saw what happened with with because they saw what happened with with because they saw what happened with with people who were mouth breathing all the people who were mouth breathing all the people who were mouth breathing all the time they saw what happened with people time they saw what happened with people time they saw what happened with people who were nasal breathing all the time who were nasal breathing all the time who were nasal breathing all the time and it's one thing to talk about these and it's one thing to talk about these and it's one thing to talk about these ancient scripts and these ancient
1:21ancient scripts and these ancient ancient scripts and these ancient Traditions is another thing to look at Traditions is another thing to look at Traditions is another thing to look at the actual science and the look at the the actual science and the look at the the actual science and the look at the data and to measure this stuff and data and to measure this stuff and data and to measure this stuff and that's where it just becomes that's where it just becomes that's where it just becomes indisputable the benefits of nasal indisputable the benefits of nasal indisputable the benefits of nasal breathing versus mouth breathing and I breathing versus mouth breathing and I breathing versus mouth breathing and I think that's a beautiful story inside of think that's a beautiful story inside of think that's a beautiful story inside of your book is that you say that you had your book is that you say that you had your book is that you say that you had that that there was initially you had to that that there was initially you had to that that there was initially you had to look to a lot of the past literature and look to a lot of the past literature and look to a lot of the past literature and ancient texts that was out there ancient texts that was out there ancient texts that was out there documenting this generational shift and documenting this generational shift and documenting this generational shift and how detrimental mouth breathing was and how detrimental mouth breathing was and how detrimental mouth breathing was and how important nose breathing was but how important nose breathing was but how important nose breathing was but along the process of digging in you met along the process of digging in you met along the process of digging in you met Misfits you call them in the book Misfits you call them in the book Misfits you call them in the book Misfits who are largely ignored Misfits who are largely ignored Misfits who are largely ignored who then because the science caught up who then because the science caught up who then because the science caught up were able to actually provide the data were able to actually provide the data were able to actually provide the data showing how important it was after showing how important it was after showing how important it was after meeting this first Misfit who went meeting this first Misfit who went meeting this first Misfit who went through this experiment with you at through this experiment with you at through this experiment with you at Stanford University Stanford University Stanford University who are other couple Misfits that helped
1:22who are other couple Misfits that helped who are other couple Misfits that helped you peel back the layers of the onion you peel back the layers of the onion you peel back the layers of the onion so the term I was using was pulmonauts so the term I was using was pulmonauts so the term I was using was pulmonauts uh you know you you could view these uh you know you you could view these uh you know you you could view these people as Misfits but I called them people as Misfits but I called them people as Misfits but I called them pulmonauts because they all didn't fit pulmonauts because they all didn't fit pulmonauts because they all didn't fit under the same umbrella these were under the same umbrella these were under the same umbrella these were researchers sometimes they were dentists researchers sometimes they were dentists researchers sometimes they were dentists sometimes they were Freelancers sometimes they were Freelancers sometimes they were Freelancers sometimes they were osteopaths sometimes sometimes they were osteopaths sometimes sometimes they were osteopaths sometimes they were Coral teachers but they all they were Coral teachers but they all they were Coral teachers but they all shared in this Wonder of health and shared in this Wonder of health and shared in this Wonder of health and using breathing to establish Better using breathing to establish Better using breathing to establish Better Health and so these pulmonauts range Health and so these pulmonauts range Health and so these pulmonauts range from Yandel Henderson who was at Yale from Yandel Henderson who was at Yale from Yandel Henderson who was at Yale for 30 or 40 years who discovered how for 30 or 40 years who discovered how for 30 or 40 years who discovered how essential having a balance of carbon essential having a balance of carbon essential having a balance of carbon dioxide was in the body everyone's dioxide was in the body everyone's dioxide was in the body everyone's talking about oxygen but you need a talking about oxygen but you need a talking about oxygen but you need a balance of CO2 for oxygen to do its balance of CO2 for oxygen to do its balance of CO2 for oxygen to do its thing his research is more than 100 thing his research is more than 100 thing his research is more than 100 years old and it came out nobody years old and it came out nobody years old and it came out nobody disputed it it was completely Legit by
1:23disputed it it was completely Legit by disputed it it was completely Legit by the time he died it was completely the time he died it was completely the time he died it was completely forgotten the same thing happened with forgotten the same thing happened with forgotten the same thing happened with Carl style another pulmonat was a coral Carl style another pulmonat was a coral Carl style another pulmonat was a coral conductor and he was teaching singers conductor and he was teaching singers conductor and he was teaching singers how to sing better by breathing better how to sing better by breathing better how to sing better by breathing better and then he was asked by the VA and then he was asked by the VA and then he was asked by the VA hospitals to help with emphysemics and hospitals to help with emphysemics and hospitals to help with emphysemics and he did what was considered medically he did what was considered medically he did what was considered medically impossible He restored the health of impossible He restored the health of impossible He restored the health of these people people who had been just these people people who had been just these people people who had been just left to sit in a room and die so the left to sit in a room and die so the left to sit in a room and die so the interesting thing about these stories is interesting thing about these stories is interesting thing about these stories is I was not looking for these people who I was not looking for these people who I was not looking for these people who had discovered this thing and then were had discovered this thing and then were had discovered this thing and then were forgotten but they all seemed to follow forgotten but they all seemed to follow forgotten but they all seemed to follow the same Arc where they would discover the same Arc where they would discover the same Arc where they would discover the the wonders of of breathing the the the wonders of of breathing the the the wonders of of breathing the technology of breathing how beneficial technology of breathing how beneficial technology of breathing how beneficial it would be and then just forgotten it would be and then just forgotten it would be and then just forgotten again that's why I called the book the again that's why I called the book the again that's why I called the book the new science of a lost art because we new science of a lost art because we new science of a lost art because we kept finding this stuff but we kept kept finding this stuff but we kept kept finding this stuff but we kept losing it over and over again want to share some of that data that want to share some of that data that you've come across and that you featured you've come across and that you featured you've come across and that you featured inside the book one of them was you
1:24inside the book one of them was you inside the book one of them was you shared about how the Framingham data shared about how the Framingham data shared about how the Framingham data from the Framingham heart study and some from the Framingham heart study and some from the Framingham heart study and some of the things they pulled out of there of the things they pulled out of there of the things they pulled out of there especially when it comes to breathing especially when it comes to breathing especially when it comes to breathing and lung capacity can you talk about and lung capacity can you talk about and lung capacity can you talk about that with our audience that with our audience that with our audience sure so a lot of people are looking at sure so a lot of people are looking at sure so a lot of people are looking at different metrics for lifespan you know different metrics for lifespan you know different metrics for lifespan you know they're looking at genetics which which they're looking at genetics which which they're looking at genetics which which can influence lifespan they're looking can influence lifespan they're looking can influence lifespan they're looking at other environmental inputs of what at other environmental inputs of what at other environmental inputs of what you're eating how much you're exercising you're eating how much you're exercising you're eating how much you're exercising but the number one marker the most but the number one marker the most but the number one marker the most accurate marker of lifespan is lung size accurate marker of lifespan is lung size accurate marker of lifespan is lung size and respiratory health and this was and respiratory health and this was and respiratory health and this was discovered more than 30 years ago as discovered more than 30 years ago as discovered more than 30 years ago as part of the Framingham study which is a part of the Framingham study which is a part of the Framingham study which is a 70-year longitudinal study into cardiac 70-year longitudinal study into cardiac 70-year longitudinal study into cardiac health and so when they looked at all health and so when they looked at all health and so when they looked at all the data all the people who were living the data all the people who were living the data all the people who were living the longest it had to do with their the longest it had to do with their the longest it had to do with their vital capacity they said vital capacity vital capacity they said vital capacity vital capacity they said vital capacity lung capacity is synonymous with with
1:25lung capacity is synonymous with with lung capacity is synonymous with with life capacity with longevity and this life capacity with longevity and this life capacity with longevity and this went so far this didn't make it into the went so far this didn't make it into the went so far this didn't make it into the book this is in the endnotes my editor book this is in the endnotes my editor book this is in the endnotes my editor thought was too weird but some thought was too weird but some thought was too weird but some researchers even went so far to look at researchers even went so far to look at researchers even went so far to look at patients who had lung transplants and patients who had lung transplants and patients who had lung transplants and they found that patients who had been they found that patients who had been they found that patients who had been transplanted with larger lungs lived way transplanted with larger lungs lived way transplanted with larger lungs lived way longer than those who had normal size or longer than those who had normal size or longer than those who had normal size or smaller lungs but you don't need to get smaller lungs but you don't need to get smaller lungs but you don't need to get a lung transplant to share in this a lung transplant to share in this a lung transplant to share in this larger lung size and a lot and longer larger lung size and a lot and longer larger lung size and a lot and longer life span you just need to breathe life span you just need to breathe life span you just need to breathe properly and what else is yoga but properly and what else is yoga but properly and what else is yoga but stretching and breathing you know so stretching and breathing you know so stretching and breathing you know so much of the exercise is establishing much of the exercise is establishing much of the exercise is establishing proper respiratory Health it's engaging proper respiratory Health it's engaging proper respiratory Health it's engaging the diaphragm and keeping all the the diaphragm and keeping all the the diaphragm and keeping all the musculature and rib cage here flexible musculature and rib cage here flexible musculature and rib cage here flexible so that you can breathe easy later on in so that you can breathe easy later on in so that you can breathe easy later on in life life life you know this podcast we've had a lot of you know this podcast we've had a lot of you know this podcast we've had a lot of neuroscientists on here and individuals neuroscientists on here and individuals neuroscientists on here and individuals who talk about who talk about who talk about neuroplasticity and that became a new
1:26neuroplasticity and that became a new neuroplasticity and that became a new term for a lot of individuals over the term for a lot of individuals over the term for a lot of individuals over the years because you know we all heard that years because you know we all heard that years because you know we all heard that story that you're born with a certain story that you're born with a certain story that you're born with a certain amount of brain cells and then it's all amount of brain cells and then it's all amount of brain cells and then it's all downhill from there downhill from there downhill from there a big part of what your book talks about a big part of what your book talks about a big part of what your book talks about just as you were talking about the just as you were talking about the just as you were talking about the diaphragm is not just with the with the diaphragm is not just with the with the diaphragm is not just with the with the lungs but so many aspects that relate to lungs but so many aspects that relate to lungs but so many aspects that relate to our breath are plastic so you just gave our breath are plastic so you just gave our breath are plastic so you just gave that example of the lungs let's go back that example of the lungs let's go back that example of the lungs let's go back to the nose and the mouth and the jaw to the nose and the mouth and the jaw to the nose and the mouth and the jaw which is how your book starts off where which is how your book starts off where which is how your book starts off where does plasticity come into play over does plasticity come into play over does plasticity come into play over there there there so uh just to sort of go into the lungs so uh just to sort of go into the lungs so uh just to sort of go into the lungs a little bit more a little bit more a little bit more um the human lung uh especially after um the human lung uh especially after um the human lung uh especially after the age of about 30 30 to 50 you're the age of about 30 30 to 50 you're the age of about 30 30 to 50 you're going to lose about something like 15 going to lose about something like 15 going to lose about something like 15 lung capacity and it goes down much lung capacity and it goes down much lung capacity and it goes down much quicker after that so right when the quicker after that so right when the quicker after that so right when the time when we need to breathe the easiest time when we need to breathe the easiest time when we need to breathe the easiest when we really need lung capacity we when we really need lung capacity we when we really need lung capacity we start losing it as we grow old but the start losing it as we grow old but the start losing it as we grow old but the great thing about this is you can have a
1:27great thing about this is you can have a great thing about this is you can have a direct impact on this entropy you can direct impact on this entropy you can direct impact on this entropy you can not only Stave it off but you can not only Stave it off but you can not only Stave it off but you can actually improve your lung capacity at actually improve your lung capacity at actually improve your lung capacity at virtually any age so it's an inspiring virtually any age so it's an inspiring virtually any age so it's an inspiring tale behind all this depressing data the tale behind all this depressing data the tale behind all this depressing data the the same thing is true with Airway the same thing is true with Airway the same thing is true with Airway Health the same thing is is true with Health the same thing is is true with Health the same thing is is true with our mouths so I think that's a great our mouths so I think that's a great our mouths so I think that's a great analogy between neuroplasticity and and analogy between neuroplasticity and and analogy between neuroplasticity and and body plasticity and breathing plasticity body plasticity and breathing plasticity body plasticity and breathing plasticity because so many of these things which because so many of these things which because so many of these things which even things that we've inherited we can even things that we've inherited we can even things that we've inherited we can change by force of will and that's change by force of will and that's change by force of will and that's really what I spent so much of this book really what I spent so much of this book really what I spent so much of this book getting into it's establishing the getting into it's establishing the getting into it's establishing the problems it's like here's a bunch of problems it's like here's a bunch of problems it's like here's a bunch of depressing information we're screwed depressing information we're screwed depressing information we're screwed right out of the gate our faces are right out of the gate our faces are right out of the gate our faces are messed up there are environmental inputs messed up there are environmental inputs messed up there are environmental inputs there's pollution blah blah blah but there's pollution blah blah blah but there's pollution blah blah blah but that's cool that's cool that's cool um but what are we gonna do with it and um but what are we gonna do with it and um but what are we gonna do with it and how can we improve upon that how can we how can we improve upon that how can we how can we improve upon that how can we improve our health improve our health improve our health when you started to look at the nose
1:28when you started to look at the nose when you started to look at the nose breathing versus mouth breathing breathing versus mouth breathing breathing versus mouth breathing immediately it was clear what one could immediately it was clear what one could immediately it was clear what one could do to improve their health which is do to improve their health which is do to improve their health which is during the day focus on breathing in during the day focus on breathing in during the day focus on breathing in through the nose and as listeners to through the nose and as listeners to through the nose and as listeners to this podcast will be familiar and you go this podcast will be familiar and you go this podcast will be familiar and you go deep into it in the book you also deep into it in the book you also deep into it in the book you also started to get into the world of mouth started to get into the world of mouth started to get into the world of mouth taping and how that can be beneficial at taping and how that can be beneficial at taping and how that can be beneficial at night where I would say that a lot of night where I would say that a lot of night where I would say that a lot of people who do breathe through their nose people who do breathe through their nose people who do breathe through their nose during the day tend to end up breathing during the day tend to end up breathing during the day tend to end up breathing through their mouth at night when it through their mouth at night when it through their mouth at night when it came to the lungs tell us what you did came to the lungs tell us what you did came to the lungs tell us what you did personally as you started to get some of personally as you started to get some of personally as you started to get some of this information especially when you this information especially when you this information especially when you start to get this mind-boggling start to get this mind-boggling start to get this mind-boggling information about CO2 and its information about CO2 and its information about CO2 and its relationship with oxygen relationship with oxygen relationship with oxygen well a sure way of becoming a complete well a sure way of becoming a complete well a sure way of becoming a complete neurotic about your breathing is to neurotic about your breathing is to neurotic about your breathing is to spend years studying this stuff so you spend years studying this stuff so you spend years studying this stuff so you know every new study I was Finding I was know every new study I was Finding I was know every new study I was Finding I was like oh I'm screwed up in that way too like oh I'm screwed up in that way too like oh I'm screwed up in that way too I'm screwed up in this way how can I fix I'm screwed up in this way how can I fix I'm screwed up in this way how can I fix this and I start getting really Paranoid this and I start getting really Paranoid this and I start getting really Paranoid by how I was breathing and how to
1:29by how I was breathing and how to by how I was breathing and how to improve that so one thing that I learned improve that so one thing that I learned improve that so one thing that I learned which really blew my mind is if we which really blew my mind is if we which really blew my mind is if we breathe more right now if I'm gonna breathe more right now if I'm gonna breathe more right now if I'm gonna breathe 20 deep breaths breathe 20 deep breaths breathe 20 deep breaths you would think that I'm getting more you would think that I'm getting more you would think that I'm getting more oxygen in my body you would think that oxygen in my body you would think that oxygen in my body you would think that I'm feeding all those hungry cells more I'm feeding all those hungry cells more I'm feeding all those hungry cells more O2 and I would have more energy but the O2 and I would have more energy but the O2 and I would have more energy but the exact opposite is happening if we exact opposite is happening if we exact opposite is happening if we breathe over our metabolic needs our breathe over our metabolic needs our breathe over our metabolic needs our bodies have to struggle to get oxygen bodies have to struggle to get oxygen bodies have to struggle to get oxygen because we're causing such because we're causing such because we're causing such vasoconstriction and if you don't vasoconstriction and if you don't vasoconstriction and if you don't believe me you can breathe 30 or 40 believe me you can breathe 30 or 40 believe me you can breathe 30 or 40 breaths you'll feel some tingling in breaths you'll feel some tingling in breaths you'll feel some tingling in your fingers you'll feel some lightness your fingers you'll feel some lightness your fingers you'll feel some lightness in your head that's not from an increase in your head that's not from an increase in your head that's not from an increase of oxygen it's from a decrease of oxygen of oxygen it's from a decrease of oxygen of oxygen it's from a decrease of oxygen to those areas so the way to get the to those areas so the way to get the to those areas so the way to get the most energy the most bang for your buck most energy the most bang for your buck most energy the most bang for your buck in breathing is to breathe less in breathing is to breathe less in breathing is to breathe less um and because by breathing less we will um and because by breathing less we will um and because by breathing less we will be breathing in line more closely with
1:30be breathing in line more closely with be breathing in line more closely with our metabolic needs and the vast our metabolic needs and the vast our metabolic needs and the vast majority of us are breathing way too majority of us are breathing way too majority of us are breathing way too much just like so many of us are eating much just like so many of us are eating much just like so many of us are eating way too much our bodies want to operate way too much our bodies want to operate way too much our bodies want to operate at the state of efficiency so we should at the state of efficiency so we should at the state of efficiency so we should be giving them the amount of oxygen they be giving them the amount of oxygen they be giving them the amount of oxygen they need not constantly forcing them to work need not constantly forcing them to work need not constantly forcing them to work to get oxygen and air into the lungs to get oxygen and air into the lungs to get oxygen and air into the lungs just to push it back out without any use just to push it back out without any use just to push it back out without any use of it so when we breathe very quickly of it so when we breathe very quickly of it so when we breathe very quickly not even very quickly at almost the not even very quickly at almost the not even very quickly at almost the average rate of about 20 breaths per average rate of about 20 breaths per average rate of about 20 breaths per minute we use about 50 percent of that minute we use about 50 percent of that minute we use about 50 percent of that air not very much if we breathe slowly air not very much if we breathe slowly air not very much if we breathe slowly at a rate of about six breaths per at a rate of about six breaths per at a rate of about six breaths per minute deeper breaths we use 85 percent minute deeper breaths we use 85 percent minute deeper breaths we use 85 percent of that air so 35 percent difference you of that air so 35 percent difference you of that air so 35 percent difference you think that's going to make a difference think that's going to make a difference think that's going to make a difference to you throughout the day working out to you throughout the day working out to you throughout the day working out focusing sleeping whatever of course it focusing sleeping whatever of course it focusing sleeping whatever of course it is so this is something that is is so this is something that is is so this is something that is available to all of us and the fact that
1:31available to all of us and the fact that available to all of us and the fact that people haven't been talking about it too people haven't been talking about it too people haven't been talking about it too much I just thought was was bizarre much I just thought was was bizarre much I just thought was was bizarre because it has such a strong influence because it has such a strong influence because it has such a strong influence on every aspect of our health on every aspect of our health on every aspect of our health in addition to our in addition to our in addition to our design of our face and our nasal and the design of our face and our nasal and the design of our face and our nasal and the sh and the narrowing of our jaws and our sh and the narrowing of our jaws and our sh and the narrowing of our jaws and our canals for breathing what are some of canals for breathing what are some of canals for breathing what are some of the other things that contribute to the the other things that contribute to the the other things that contribute to the fact that we are breathing too much fact that we are breathing too much fact that we are breathing too much instead of at these ideal ratios that instead of at these ideal ratios that instead of at these ideal ratios that you talk about inside of the book you talk about inside of the book you talk about inside of the book so if you think about nasal breathing so if you think about nasal breathing so if you think about nasal breathing you can just take a breath through your you can just take a breath through your you can just take a breath through your nose with me here nose with me here nose with me here okay okay okay it takes a while doesn't it it doesn't it takes a while doesn't it it doesn't it takes a while doesn't it it doesn't go in really easily you can feel that go in really easily you can feel that go in really easily you can feel that negative pressure as it goes in you can negative pressure as it goes in you can negative pressure as it goes in you can feel the positive pressure as it goes feel the positive pressure as it goes feel the positive pressure as it goes out that's because when you breathe out that's because when you breathe out that's because when you breathe through your nose you're forcing it through your nose you're forcing it through your nose you're forcing it through this Gauntlet of different through this Gauntlet of different through this Gauntlet of different structures where this air is slowed down structures where this air is slowed down structures where this air is slowed down it's pressurized it's conditioned it's it's pressurized it's conditioned it's it's pressurized it's conditioned it's heated it's moistened so that by the heated it's moistened so that by the heated it's moistened so that by the time it gets to the lungs the lungs can
1:32time it gets to the lungs the lungs can time it gets to the lungs the lungs can more easily extract that oxygen it's the more easily extract that oxygen it's the more easily extract that oxygen it's the same thing with exhaling takes a while so by forcing the air to takes a while so by forcing the air to slow down by pressurizing it we can slow down by pressurizing it we can slow down by pressurizing it we can extract so much more oxygen we take in extract so much more oxygen we take in extract so much more oxygen we take in about 20 percent more oxygen breathing about 20 percent more oxygen breathing about 20 percent more oxygen breathing breath through our nose than we do breath through our nose than we do breath through our nose than we do equivalent breaths through our mouths equivalent breaths through our mouths equivalent breaths through our mouths now if you were to take a breath through now if you were to take a breath through now if you were to take a breath through your mouth your mouth your mouth that's all it takes very quick so it's that's all it takes very quick so it's that's all it takes very quick so it's much too fast for us to adequately use much too fast for us to adequately use much too fast for us to adequately use that breath to its full potential to that breath to its full potential to that breath to its full potential to extract that oxygen so nasal breathing extract that oxygen so nasal breathing extract that oxygen so nasal breathing this isn't some like new age like this isn't some like new age like this isn't some like new age like hearsay this is basic biology uh I'll hearsay this is basic biology uh I'll hearsay this is basic biology uh I'll show you a little model here for people show you a little model here for people show you a little model here for people listening you're not going to be able to listening you're not going to be able to listening you're not going to be able to see this but I'm showing an anatomical see this but I'm showing an anatomical see this but I'm showing an anatomical model of the side of a face and you just model of the side of a face and you just model of the side of a face and you just see this incredibly ornate structure of see this incredibly ornate structure of see this incredibly ornate structure of all the sinuses and the nose that's all the sinuses and the nose that's all the sinuses and the nose that's there for a reason we're supposed to be
1:33there for a reason we're supposed to be there for a reason we're supposed to be obligate nasal breathers and when we obligate nasal breathers and when we obligate nasal breathers and when we don't breathe that way our bodies really don't breathe that way our bodies really don't breathe that way our bodies really suffer suffer suffer and in so many ways you know we've had and in so many ways you know we've had and in so many ways you know we've had as I mentioned when we were starting off as I mentioned when we were starting off as I mentioned when we were starting off this podcast we've had Dr Lou ignaro on this podcast we've had Dr Lou ignaro on this podcast we've had Dr Lou ignaro on here who was a Nobel Prize winner and here who was a Nobel Prize winner and here who was a Nobel Prize winner and then subsequently you featured other then subsequently you featured other then subsequently you featured other individuals that have built on top of individuals that have built on top of individuals that have built on top of the work that's out there in the the work that's out there in the the work that's out there in the relationship of nitrous nitric oxide relationship of nitrous nitric oxide relationship of nitrous nitric oxide um it's almost like the nose doesn't get um it's almost like the nose doesn't get um it's almost like the nose doesn't get the credit that it deserves as being the credit that it deserves as being the credit that it deserves as being such a central such a central such a central um fixture on our body even it's so um fixture on our body even it's so um fixture on our body even it's so related to even things like sexual related to even things like sexual related to even things like sexual arousal and that's something new that a arousal and that's something new that a arousal and that's something new that a lot of people learned inside of reading lot of people learned inside of reading lot of people learned inside of reading your book tell us a little about the your book tell us a little about the your book tell us a little about the nose and how that can be tied into nose and how that can be tied into nose and how that can be tied into arousal um so the our noses are covered with um so the our noses are covered with erectile tissue which is the exact same erectile tissue which is the exact same erectile tissue which is the exact same erectile tissue in our genitals so when erectile tissue in our genitals so when erectile tissue in our genitals so when one gets activated the other responds in one gets activated the other responds in one gets activated the other responds in kind and some people have such a strong
1:34kind and some people have such a strong kind and some people have such a strong connection between their genitals and connection between their genitals and connection between their genitals and their noses that every time they get their noses that every time they get their noses that every time they get sexually attracted or stimulated they sexually attracted or stimulated they sexually attracted or stimulated they start uncontrollably sneezing because start uncontrollably sneezing because start uncontrollably sneezing because what happens is as the erectile tissue what happens is as the erectile tissue what happens is as the erectile tissue and genitals becomes engorged with blood and genitals becomes engorged with blood and genitals becomes engorged with blood so does the erectile tissue in the nose so does the erectile tissue in the nose so does the erectile tissue in the nose and there are some fascinating research and there are some fascinating research and there are some fascinating research this did not make it into the book it this did not make it into the book it this did not make it into the book it just got way too weird about a hundred just got way too weird about a hundred just got way too weird about a hundred years ago when they were looking at years ago when they were looking at years ago when they were looking at women suffering from severe cases of PMS women suffering from severe cases of PMS women suffering from severe cases of PMS they started doing surgery to their they started doing surgery to their they started doing surgery to their noses they started removing some of noses they started removing some of noses they started removing some of their erectile tissue and it helped their erectile tissue and it helped their erectile tissue and it helped incredibly well they also started giving incredibly well they also started giving incredibly well they also started giving them cocaine to numb numb their nostrils them cocaine to numb numb their nostrils them cocaine to numb numb their nostrils which I've heard also work quite well which I've heard also work quite well which I've heard also work quite well for them so it's beyond all that beyond for them so it's beyond all that beyond for them so it's beyond all that beyond all this hucksterism and these these uh all this hucksterism and these these uh all this hucksterism and these these uh Quick Quack fixes this connection Quick Quack fixes this connection Quick Quack fixes this connection between our nose and genitals is known between our nose and genitals is known between our nose and genitals is known and it's just part of how our bodies and it's just part of how our bodies and it's just part of how our bodies function function function help me understand that one a little bit
1:35help me understand that one a little bit help me understand that one a little bit more where would removing the the tissue more where would removing the the tissue more where would removing the the tissue around the nose how would that help the around the nose how would that help the around the nose how would that help the symptoms that the women were were going symptoms that the women were were going symptoms that the women were were going through what's the what's the thinking through what's the what's the thinking through what's the what's the thinking on that chronic congestion and a on that chronic congestion and a on that chronic congestion and a chronically stuffed nose and so if chronically stuffed nose and so if chronically stuffed nose and so if you're chronically congested you're you're chronically congested you're you're chronically congested you're breathing through your mouth and then breathing through your mouth and then breathing through your mouth and then you can suffer from neurological issues you can suffer from neurological issues you can suffer from neurological issues metabolic problems so on and so forth metabolic problems so on and so forth metabolic problems so on and so forth I'm not sure that they had really I'm not sure that they had really I'm not sure that they had really clearly in their minds what they were clearly in their minds what they were clearly in their minds what they were doing and why they were doing it but if doing and why they were doing it but if doing and why they were doing it but if you look at the studies I mean it had a you look at the studies I mean it had a you look at the studies I mean it had a tremendous effect on these people so I tremendous effect on these people so I tremendous effect on these people so I know that there's a connection there know that there's a connection there know that there's a connection there don't go out and do this at home people don't go out and do this at home people don't go out and do this at home people not not a good idea but but we we do not not a good idea but but we we do not not a good idea but but we we do know that the nostrils also play uh know that the nostrils also play uh know that the nostrils also play uh different roles in the way that our different roles in the way that our different roles in the way that our bodies function and the way that we bodies function and the way that we bodies function and the way that we process thoughts so the right nostril process thoughts so the right nostril process thoughts so the right nostril inhaling through it it's going to keep inhaling through it it's going to keep inhaling through it it's going to keep the body up the heart is going to speed the body up the heart is going to speed the body up the heart is going to speed up blood pressure is going to increase up blood pressure is going to increase up blood pressure is going to increase the left nostril has the opposite effect the left nostril has the opposite effect the left nostril has the opposite effect and so through throughout the day this
1:36and so through throughout the day this and so through throughout the day this erectile tissue in our noses one side erectile tissue in our noses one side erectile tissue in our noses one side will open while the other side closes will open while the other side closes will open while the other side closes and the other side opens and the other and the other side opens and the other and the other side opens and the other side closes and for so long researchers side closes and for so long researchers side closes and for so long researchers have known this they've known this for have known this they've known this for have known this they've known this for like 70 years but for so long they like 70 years but for so long they like 70 years but for so long they didn't know why until they started didn't know why until they started didn't know why until they started measuring what happened when we breathed measuring what happened when we breathed measuring what happened when we breathed through the right nostril versus the through the right nostril versus the through the right nostril versus the left nostril so in many ways this is left nostril so in many ways this is left nostril so in many ways this is very much could be the way our bodies very much could be the way our bodies very much could be the way our bodies help to stay balanced throughout the day help to stay balanced throughout the day help to stay balanced throughout the day shifting these breaths throughout our shifting these breaths throughout our shifting these breaths throughout our noses noses noses and as you mentioned inside the book and as you mentioned inside the book and as you mentioned inside the book there's various sorts of practices that there's various sorts of practices that there's various sorts of practices that especially in pranayam pranaya in yoga especially in pranayam pranaya in yoga especially in pranayam pranaya in yoga in different Traditions they might in different Traditions they might in different Traditions they might encourage some of that they might say encourage some of that they might say encourage some of that they might say Okay breathe through your left they Okay breathe through your left they Okay breathe through your left they might say breathe through your right but might say breathe through your right but might say breathe through your right but what you found for yourself is that on what you found for yourself is that on what you found for yourself is that on an ongoing basis that if you primarily an ongoing basis that if you primarily an ongoing basis that if you primarily let your body do what it needs to do let your body do what it needs to do let your body do what it needs to do that's one of the best ways for it to that's one of the best ways for it to that's one of the best ways for it to decide as long as you are supporting the decide as long as you are supporting the decide as long as you are supporting the structures that need to be supported to structures that need to be supported to structures that need to be supported to nose breathe in the first place
1:37nose breathe in the first place nose breathe in the first place yeah for for sure you know nature is a yeah for for sure you know nature is a yeah for for sure you know nature is a perfect guide all the time the past is perfect guide all the time the past is perfect guide all the time the past is usually great for for prologue of how we usually great for for prologue of how we usually great for for prologue of how we should be treating our bodies and should be treating our bodies and should be treating our bodies and systems of Health systems of Health systems of Health so our bodies will naturally do this so our bodies will naturally do this so our bodies will naturally do this every 30 minutes to three or four hours every 30 minutes to three or four hours every 30 minutes to three or four hours our noses will switch dominance from one our noses will switch dominance from one our noses will switch dominance from one side to the other but what you can do is side to the other but what you can do is side to the other but what you can do is you can hack into this you can use these you can hack into this you can use these you can hack into this you can use these different nostril breaths for different different nostril breaths for different different nostril breaths for different functions and Alternate nostril functions and Alternate nostril functions and Alternate nostril breathing anyone who's been to a yoga breathing anyone who's been to a yoga breathing anyone who's been to a yoga class has heard about this Nadi shut class has heard about this Nadi shut class has heard about this Nadi shut Hana it's also called it's been around Hana it's also called it's been around Hana it's also called it's been around for a thousand years and this is just for a thousand years and this is just for a thousand years and this is just using your fingers to force yourself to using your fingers to force yourself to using your fingers to force yourself to breathe through your left nostril and breathe through your left nostril and breathe through your left nostril and force yourself to Exhale through your force yourself to Exhale through your force yourself to Exhale through your right so it's the inhale through the right so it's the inhale through the right so it's the inhale through the right that stimulates the body exhaling right that stimulates the body exhaling right that stimulates the body exhaling will also have a a calming effect and will also have a a calming effect and will also have a a calming effect and there's a zillion different ways to do there's a zillion different ways to do there's a zillion different ways to do this but they're all variations on the this but they're all variations on the this but they're all variations on the same thing where you're taking control same thing where you're taking control same thing where you're taking control of this autonomic function to elicit
1:38of this autonomic function to elicit of this autonomic function to elicit different reactions in your body for different reactions in your body for different reactions in your body for different purposes different purposes different purposes I want to read a quote that you shared I want to read a quote that you shared I want to read a quote that you shared on uh Twitter on uh Twitter on uh Twitter um this was April 24th and uh I'm gonna um this was April 24th and uh I'm gonna um this was April 24th and uh I'm gonna totally butcher this gentleman's name totally butcher this gentleman's name totally butcher this gentleman's name he's a Nobel Prize winner Albert zens he's a Nobel Prize winner Albert zens he's a Nobel Prize winner Albert zens gorgri gorgri gorgri uh you know it probably correctly so you uh you know it probably correctly so you uh you know it probably correctly so you can you can correct me after I show the can you can correct me after I show the can you can correct me after I show the quote and the quote says more than 60 quote and the quote says more than 60 quote and the quote says more than 60 years of research on living systems has years of research on living systems has years of research on living systems has convinced me that our body is much more convinced me that our body is much more convinced me that our body is much more nearly perfect than the endless list of nearly perfect than the endless list of nearly perfect than the endless list of ailments suggest its shortcomings are ailments suggest its shortcomings are ailments suggest its shortcomings are due less to its inborn imperfections due less to its inborn imperfections due less to its inborn imperfections than to our abusing it than to our abusing it than to our abusing it how did you find out about this quote how did you find out about this quote how did you find out about this quote where'd you hear it and what inspired where'd you hear it and what inspired where'd you hear it and what inspired you to to share it that's one of my you to to share it that's one of my you to to share it that's one of my favorite quotes uh he won a Nobel Prize favorite quotes uh he won a Nobel Prize favorite quotes uh he won a Nobel Prize for his work environment C in the 1930s for his work environment C in the 1930s for his work environment C in the 1930s and he's one of my favorite researchers and he's one of my favorite researchers and he's one of my favorite researchers and I'm working on a project now to get and I'm working on a project now to get and I'm working on a project now to get more deeply into his research more deeply into his research more deeply into his research so he had studied uh cancer for years
1:39so he had studied uh cancer for years so he had studied uh cancer for years and years and years and found that and years and years and found that and years and years and found that cancer just like so many chronic cancer just like so many chronic cancer just like so many chronic problems they aren't some fault to our problems they aren't some fault to our problems they aren't some fault to our bodies right our bodies are this perfect bodies right our bodies are this perfect bodies right our bodies are this perfect machine they're the fault of being machine they're the fault of being machine they're the fault of being exposed to too many toxic environmental exposed to too many toxic environmental exposed to too many toxic environmental inputs uh be that stress be that inputs uh be that stress be that inputs uh be that stress be that pollution or whatever so the human body pollution or whatever so the human body pollution or whatever so the human body if it were placed in a more natural if it were placed in a more natural if it were placed in a more natural environment without these modern environment without these modern environment without these modern industrial inputs can naturally live a industrial inputs can naturally live a industrial inputs can naturally live a very long time we keep thinking you know very long time we keep thinking you know very long time we keep thinking you know the argument is nowadays it's like hey the argument is nowadays it's like hey the argument is nowadays it's like hey we're living longer like people used to we're living longer like people used to we're living longer like people used to live only 30 years that is not true you live only 30 years that is not true you live only 30 years that is not true you know these studies were conducted during know these studies were conducted during know these studies were conducted during the Industrial Revolution where you the Industrial Revolution where you the Industrial Revolution where you would have 16 kids and 12 of them would would have 16 kids and 12 of them would would have 16 kids and 12 of them would die in childbirth you know so there's a die in childbirth you know so there's a die in childbirth you know so there's a difference between longevity and difference between longevity and difference between longevity and lifespan so uh you know longevity the lifespan so uh you know longevity the lifespan so uh you know longevity the way that that is calculated is is if I
1:40way that that is calculated is is if I way that that is calculated is is if I had two kids one dialed in childbirth had two kids one dialed in childbirth had two kids one dialed in childbirth and the other lived to be 80 I would say and the other lived to be 80 I would say and the other lived to be 80 I would say the the average lifespan you know the the average lifespan you know the the average lifespan you know longevity would be 40 years but that longevity would be 40 years but that longevity would be 40 years but that doesn't mean we're all hosed and that doesn't mean we're all hosed and that doesn't mean we're all hosed and that we're all going to live to be 40 years we're all going to live to be 40 years we're all going to live to be 40 years long so and we've we've known this for long so and we've we've known this for long so and we've we've known this for thousands of years I I found this thousands of years I I found this thousands of years I I found this somewhat recently when I was looking at somewhat recently when I was looking at somewhat recently when I was looking at all of these great philosophers and all of these great philosophers and all of these great philosophers and scientists from a thousand years ago scientists from a thousand years ago scientists from a thousand years ago Roman philosophers Greek philosophers Roman philosophers Greek philosophers Roman philosophers Greek philosophers it's like what these guys were living to it's like what these guys were living to it's like what these guys were living to be 85 years old there were 87 years old be 85 years old there were 87 years old be 85 years old there were 87 years old and there's a graveyard near a cabin I and there's a graveyard near a cabin I and there's a graveyard near a cabin I used to rent from graves from like the used to rent from graves from like the used to rent from graves from like the 1850s and these people were living into 1850s and these people were living into 1850s and these people were living into their 70s and 80s all the time so uh the their 70s and 80s all the time so uh the their 70s and 80s all the time so uh the reason I'm mentioning this this sidebar reason I'm mentioning this this sidebar reason I'm mentioning this this sidebar information is that information is that information is that our bodies I think are programmed to our bodies I think are programmed to our bodies I think are programmed to live this long and healthy life it just live this long and healthy life it just live this long and healthy life it just depends on how we treat them throughout depends on how we treat them throughout depends on how we treat them throughout our life especially when we're younger our life especially when we're younger our life especially when we're younger we set a good foundation they're going
1:41we set a good foundation they're going we set a good foundation they're going to be much more apt to live longer to be much more apt to live longer to be much more apt to live longer that's so true and we just had a a that's so true and we just had a a that's so true and we just had a a researcher on the podcast Dr Jason Fung researcher on the podcast Dr Jason Fung researcher on the podcast Dr Jason Fung and his argument around cancer is that and his argument around cancer is that and his argument around cancer is that cancer is less something that happens to cancer is less something that happens to cancer is less something that happens to us but it's more of an evolutionary us but it's more of an evolutionary us but it's more of an evolutionary survival mechanism that the body Taps survival mechanism that the body Taps survival mechanism that the body Taps into and this isn't some Fringe guy you into and this isn't some Fringe guy you into and this isn't some Fringe guy you know this guy's has a couple New York know this guy's has a couple New York know this guy's has a couple New York Times bestsellers in the category of Times bestsellers in the category of Times bestsellers in the category of insulin resistance and diabetes and insulin resistance and diabetes and insulin resistance and diabetes and talking about that whole Trend and so so talking about that whole Trend and so so talking about that whole Trend and so so many of these ailments if we take that many of these ailments if we take that many of these ailments if we take that idea that many of the diseases that we idea that many of the diseases that we idea that many of the diseases that we suffer from in Modern Life we think of suffer from in Modern Life we think of suffer from in Modern Life we think of them as things that are happening to us them as things that are happening to us them as things that are happening to us but if we peel back the layer and go but if we peel back the layer and go but if we peel back the layer and go back into that quote that I was just back into that quote that I was just back into that quote that I was just sharing one of your favorite quotes we sharing one of your favorite quotes we sharing one of your favorite quotes we can actually see how so many of our can actually see how so many of our can actually see how so many of our diseases are just adaptations where our diseases are just adaptations where our diseases are just adaptations where our body is trying to do the best that it body is trying to do the best that it body is trying to do the best that it can under the crazy circumstances that can under the crazy circumstances that can under the crazy circumstances that it's been put under it's been put under it's been put under and Stephen Park Dr Steven park at
1:42and Stephen Park Dr Steven park at and Stephen Park Dr Steven park at Albert Einstein Medical School has Albert Einstein Medical School has Albert Einstein Medical School has written about this a lot so he's found written about this a lot so he's found written about this a lot so he's found that the organs that are usually cut off that the organs that are usually cut off that the organs that are usually cut off during times of chronic stress when we during times of chronic stress when we during times of chronic stress when we enter in the states of sympathetic enter in the states of sympathetic enter in the states of sympathetic stress our body prioritizes energy and stress our body prioritizes energy and stress our body prioritizes energy and blood flow to other areas that are blood flow to other areas that are blood flow to other areas that are essential for us to fight or to run away essential for us to fight or to run away essential for us to fight or to run away so skeletal muscles the heart the brain so skeletal muscles the heart the brain so skeletal muscles the heart the brain but other organs the stomach the kidneys but other organs the stomach the kidneys but other organs the stomach the kidneys liver pancreas like all of that gets cut liver pancreas like all of that gets cut liver pancreas like all of that gets cut off during these states of of stress so off during these states of of stress so off during these states of of stress so if we stay stressed for too long these if we stay stressed for too long these if we stay stressed for too long these other areas aren't going to get the other areas aren't going to get the other areas aren't going to get the energy they need they're not going to energy they need they're not going to energy they need they're not going to get their blood flow so cancer grows in get their blood flow so cancer grows in get their blood flow so cancer grows in environment of low circulation of low environment of low circulation of low environment of low circulation of low oxygen so he is hypothesized this hasn't oxygen so he is hypothesized this hasn't oxygen so he is hypothesized this hasn't been proven but he's hypothesized he's been proven but he's hypothesized he's been proven but he's hypothesized he's like look at all of the the leading like look at all of the the leading like look at all of the the leading areas in the body that are afflicted areas in the body that are afflicted areas in the body that are afflicted with cancer throughout a population with cancer throughout a population with cancer throughout a population something like 9 out of 10 of them are
1:43something like 9 out of 10 of them are something like 9 out of 10 of them are these areas that are cut off from these areas that are cut off from these areas that are cut off from circulation because of stress so stress circulation because of stress so stress circulation because of stress so stress yes is a major contributor to cancer so yes is a major contributor to cancer so yes is a major contributor to cancer so to help reduce your chances of getting to help reduce your chances of getting to help reduce your chances of getting cancer you have to take control of your cancer you have to take control of your cancer you have to take control of your stress and one of the quickest ways of stress and one of the quickest ways of stress and one of the quickest ways of doing that and to take control of doing that and to take control of doing that and to take control of inflammation is to take control of your inflammation is to take control of your inflammation is to take control of your breathing breathing breathing um powerful um powerful um powerful how has working on this book and how has working on this book and how has working on this book and actually launching it in the context of actually launching it in the context of actually launching it in the context of a pandemic how is it giving you a lens a pandemic how is it giving you a lens a pandemic how is it giving you a lens of seeing what we're going through with of seeing what we're going through with of seeing what we're going through with kovid kovid kovid with all the knowledge and information with all the knowledge and information with all the knowledge and information that you've learned from these experts that you've learned from these experts that you've learned from these experts you've talked to on breathing you've talked to on breathing you've talked to on breathing yeah it's funny when the book came out yeah it's funny when the book came out yeah it's funny when the book came out in May May 26th of this year in May May 26th of this year in May May 26th of this year some people wrote and they said oh some people wrote and they said oh some people wrote and they said oh really convenient that you happen to really convenient that you happen to really convenient that you happen to release this book during a you know release this book during a you know release this book during a you know pandemic that affects the respiratory
1:44pandemic that affects the respiratory pandemic that affects the respiratory system I've been working on this book system I've been working on this book system I've been working on this book for about five years Non-Stop and had for about five years Non-Stop and had for about five years Non-Stop and had been collecting data on it for about a been collecting data on it for about a been collecting data on it for about a decade so uh you know if there's decade so uh you know if there's decade so uh you know if there's anything good to come out of this foul anything good to come out of this foul anything good to come out of this foul foul pandemic is I think it's made foul pandemic is I think it's made foul pandemic is I think it's made people a lot more aware of their people a lot more aware of their people a lot more aware of their breathing and so many of these breathing and so many of these breathing and so many of these researchers that I had been working with researchers that I had been working with researchers that I had been working with people who had spent decades in this people who had spent decades in this people who had spent decades in this field no one was listening to them they field no one was listening to them they field no one was listening to them they were publishing all the time in academic were publishing all the time in academic were publishing all the time in academic journals but none of that data was journals but none of that data was journals but none of that data was making it to the general public I really making it to the general public I really making it to the general public I really think that this is this is their time think that this is this is their time think that this is this is their time right because what what they have proven right because what what they have proven right because what what they have proven what they've shown no one's arguing with what they've shown no one's arguing with what they've shown no one's arguing with it but people seem to poo poo breathing it but people seem to poo poo breathing it but people seem to poo poo breathing they're just like breathing whatever you they're just like breathing whatever you they're just like breathing whatever you know I'm gonna eat right I'm gonna sleep know I'm gonna eat right I'm gonna sleep know I'm gonna eat right I'm gonna sleep right I'm gonna exercise but I don't right I'm gonna exercise but I don't right I'm gonna exercise but I don't need to think how to breathe I do that need to think how to breathe I do that need to think how to breathe I do that unconsciously automatically and that's unconsciously automatically and that's unconsciously automatically and that's the whole problem when you're doing the whole problem when you're doing the whole problem when you're doing something unconsciously and you're doing something unconsciously and you're doing something unconsciously and you're doing it wrong you can really affect your body it wrong you can really affect your body it wrong you can really affect your body and negatively in so many ways and again
1:45and negatively in so many ways and again and negatively in so many ways and again as we had said at the beginning of the as we had said at the beginning of the as we had said at the beginning of the program uh you're seeing that all over program uh you're seeing that all over program uh you're seeing that all over the place look at the amount of people the place look at the amount of people the place look at the amount of people who have asthma now who have COPD who who have asthma now who have COPD who who have asthma now who have COPD who suffer from sleep apnea who suffer from suffer from sleep apnea who suffer from suffer from sleep apnea who suffer from snoring from hypertension I mean the snoring from hypertension I mean the snoring from hypertension I mean the numbers are just off the charts so we numbers are just off the charts so we numbers are just off the charts so we have become a culture a species of the have become a culture a species of the have become a culture a species of the worst breathers in the animal kingdom worst breathers in the animal kingdom worst breathers in the animal kingdom and once we have that knowledge we can and once we have that knowledge we can and once we have that knowledge we can turn it around and try to fix it turn it around and try to fix it turn it around and try to fix it I think in the category of books that I think in the category of books that I think in the category of books that would be very similar to your books just would be very similar to your books just would be very similar to your books just saying in the category as a whole you saying in the category as a whole you saying in the category as a whole you know journalists going on a quest you know journalists going on a quest you know journalists going on a quest you know learning about let's say you know know learning about let's say you know know learning about let's say you know similar to like let's say a category of similar to like let's say a category of similar to like let's say a category of like Michael Pollan going out there one like Michael Pollan going out there one like Michael Pollan going out there one of the things that I really appreciate of the things that I really appreciate of the things that I really appreciate about your book is that you do go into about your book is that you do go into about your book is that you do go into the recommendations that are out there the recommendations that are out there the recommendations that are out there and not just generally like we have to and not just generally like we have to and not just generally like we have to pay more attention to this we should pay more attention to this we should pay more attention to this we should give it more love there are actually give it more love there are actually give it more love there are actually really amazing and emerging things that really amazing and emerging things that really amazing and emerging things that we can do to solve this at all sorts of we can do to solve this at all sorts of we can do to solve this at all sorts of levels and I really appreciate that levels and I really appreciate that levels and I really appreciate that because I think the challenge that a lot
1:46because I think the challenge that a lot because I think the challenge that a lot of journalists felt in the past was they of journalists felt in the past was they of journalists felt in the past was they make two strong recommendations do they make two strong recommendations do they make two strong recommendations do they come across as an advocate rather than a come across as an advocate rather than a come across as an advocate rather than a Storyteller for it Storyteller for it Storyteller for it um so thank you first and foremost for um so thank you first and foremost for um so thank you first and foremost for that I'd like to go into some of those that I'd like to go into some of those that I'd like to go into some of those recommendations and let's start first recommendations and let's start first recommendations and let's start first with the recommendations around our job with the recommendations around our job with the recommendations around our job so through this dis evolutionary process so through this dis evolutionary process so through this dis evolutionary process of us not chewing us having smaller of us not chewing us having smaller of us not chewing us having smaller nasal cavities and breathing Airways and nasal cavities and breathing Airways and nasal cavities and breathing Airways and many other mechanisms that end up many other mechanisms that end up many other mechanisms that end up preventing us from breathing as deeply preventing us from breathing as deeply preventing us from breathing as deeply and getting as much oxygen in and and getting as much oxygen in and and getting as much oxygen in and through the right mechanism which is through the right mechanism which is through the right mechanism which is through our nose through our nose through our nose We've Ended up at a place where we have We've Ended up at a place where we have We've Ended up at a place where we have all these issues that we've talked about all these issues that we've talked about all these issues that we've talked about but as we mentioned with the plastic but as we mentioned with the plastic but as we mentioned with the plastic there are things that are out there there are things that are out there there are things that are out there tools that people can tap into to tools that people can tap into to tools that people can tap into to reverse a little bit of that process reverse a little bit of that process reverse a little bit of that process what are some examples of those tools what are some examples of those tools what are some examples of those tools that you found through writing this book that you found through writing this book that you found through writing this book sure I just want to dunk into the The
1:47sure I just want to dunk into the The sure I just want to dunk into the The Advocate evangelist thing just just for Advocate evangelist thing just just for Advocate evangelist thing just just for a second and I think you really nailed a second and I think you really nailed a second and I think you really nailed it that is not my job as a journalist I it that is not my job as a journalist I it that is not my job as a journalist I have no background in in medicine I'm have no background in in medicine I'm have no background in in medicine I'm not selling anything I'm not selling any not selling anything I'm not selling any not selling anything I'm not selling any product my job is to go into a world I product my job is to go into a world I product my job is to go into a world I don't understand and to try to figure it don't understand and to try to figure it don't understand and to try to figure it out and talk to the experts in the field out and talk to the experts in the field out and talk to the experts in the field so I I would like to be an advocate for so I I would like to be an advocate for so I I would like to be an advocate for data an evangelist for facts and that's data an evangelist for facts and that's data an evangelist for facts and that's that's really the position I want to that's really the position I want to that's really the position I want to stay in so I'm not a breathing therapist stay in so I'm not a breathing therapist stay in so I'm not a breathing therapist I do not offer prescriptions blanket I do not offer prescriptions blanket I do not offer prescriptions blanket prescription for people what I do is I prescription for people what I do is I prescription for people what I do is I filter out research from the leading filter out research from the leading filter out research from the leading experts and I show what has worked for experts and I show what has worked for experts and I show what has worked for other people per the science so along other people per the science so along other people per the science so along those lines so if you want to establish those lines so if you want to establish those lines so if you want to establish a better nasal breathing if that's the a better nasal breathing if that's the a better nasal breathing if that's the first thing you need to do is to figure first thing you need to do is to figure first thing you need to do is to figure out your Airway because no matter how out your Airway because no matter how out your Airway because no matter how many pranayamas you do no matter how many pranayamas you do no matter how many pranayamas you do no matter how much sudarsh and kriya or Wim Hof method much sudarsh and kriya or Wim Hof method much sudarsh and kriya or Wim Hof method you do if your Airways are stop it you do if your Airways are stop it you do if your Airways are stop it doesn't matter how focused you want to
1:48doesn't matter how focused you want to doesn't matter how focused you want to be or how learned you are in all of be or how learned you are in all of be or how learned you are in all of these different breathing techniques you these different breathing techniques you these different breathing techniques you have to fix your Airway and the that have to fix your Airway and the that have to fix your Airway and the that begins with breathing through your nose begins with breathing through your nose begins with breathing through your nose a lot of people say I would breathe a lot of people say I would breathe a lot of people say I would breathe through my nose but I can because I'm through my nose but I can because I'm through my nose but I can because I'm I'm constantly congested so I just I'm constantly congested so I just I'm constantly congested so I just breathe through my mouth you have to breathe through my mouth you have to breathe through my mouth you have to find a way of clearing your nose it's as find a way of clearing your nose it's as find a way of clearing your nose it's as simple as that some people need surgical simple as that some people need surgical simple as that some people need surgical interventions a lot of people don't Dr interventions a lot of people don't Dr interventions a lot of people don't Dr Jack or Nayak told me if a sink is Jack or Nayak told me if a sink is Jack or Nayak told me if a sink is plugged in your house you're going to plugged in your house you're going to plugged in your house you're going to find a way of clearing it as soon as find a way of clearing it as soon as find a way of clearing it as soon as possible the nose need to be considered possible the nose need to be considered possible the nose need to be considered the same thing so going back into that the same thing so going back into that the same thing so going back into that blanket prescription everyone's blanket prescription everyone's blanket prescription everyone's different so some people I've found got different so some people I've found got different so some people I've found got benefit from starting with those Breathe benefit from starting with those Breathe benefit from starting with those Breathe Right Strips which help to open up the Right Strips which help to open up the Right Strips which help to open up the nostrils a little more mute inserts can nostrils a little more mute inserts can nostrils a little more mute inserts can also be helpful using sleep tape at also be helpful using sleep tape at also be helpful using sleep tape at night I've found to be incredibly night I've found to be incredibly night I've found to be incredibly helpful I've gotten hundreds of letters helpful I've gotten hundreds of letters helpful I've gotten hundreds of letters from people who say they no longer are from people who say they no longer are from people who say they no longer are snoring right now because of sleep tape snoring right now because of sleep tape snoring right now because of sleep tape um you know so so that's interesting
1:49um you know so so that's interesting um you know so so that's interesting this is something Mark berhenney has has this is something Mark berhenney has has this is something Mark berhenney has has been researching for decades and decades been researching for decades and decades been researching for decades and decades so I would really start with those so I would really start with those so I would really start with those things and if none of those work if a things and if none of those work if a things and if none of those work if a Neti Pot doesn't work then you can start Neti Pot doesn't work then you can start Neti Pot doesn't work then you can start exploring different procedures but I exploring different procedures but I exploring different procedures but I would start with the things that are would start with the things that are would start with the things that are free that have no side effects that are free that have no side effects that are free that have no side effects that are available to all of us because what I've available to all of us because what I've available to all of us because what I've seen is the vast majority of us can seen is the vast majority of us can seen is the vast majority of us can really get a ton of benefit from from really get a ton of benefit from from really get a ton of benefit from from those and that's what niacc has seen as those and that's what niacc has seen as those and that's what niacc has seen as well well well and I know it's working because and I know it's working because and I know it's working because I've been into the world of of uh mouth I've been into the world of of uh mouth I've been into the world of of uh mouth taping for a while and I recently taping for a while and I recently taping for a while and I recently brought my fiancee into that world and brought my fiancee into that world and brought my fiancee into that world and she's getting the best sleep that she's she's getting the best sleep that she's she's getting the best sleep that she's ever had in her life is uh what she ever had in her life is uh what she ever had in her life is uh what she feels but previously when you would look feels but previously when you would look feels but previously when you would look up mouth tape on Amazon where a lot of up mouth tape on Amazon where a lot of up mouth tape on Amazon where a lot of people go one of the there's a prominent people go one of the there's a prominent people go one of the there's a prominent company that's out there that a lot of company that's out there that a lot of company that's out there that a lot of people would use their their product people would use their their product people would use their their product um but since your book has come out I've um but since your book has come out I've um but since your book has come out I've seen uh one of the things that's come up seen uh one of the things that's come up seen uh one of the things that's come up in it is you say look there's a lot of
1:50in it is you say look there's a lot of in it is you say look there's a lot of really great Solutions that's out there really great Solutions that's out there really great Solutions that's out there and there's different people that are and there's different people that are and there's different people that are meeting different needs but for people meeting different needs but for people meeting different needs but for people who want to start off with mouth taping who want to start off with mouth taping who want to start off with mouth taping they can even just start off with a they can even just start off with a they can even just start off with a little uh Square patch of of surgical little uh Square patch of of surgical little uh Square patch of of surgical tape that is one very low cost thing and tape that is one very low cost thing and tape that is one very low cost thing and a lot of companies make surgical tape a lot of companies make surgical tape a lot of companies make surgical tape and it's pretty easily accessible and in and it's pretty easily accessible and in and it's pretty easily accessible and in this period of time since I've been into this period of time since I've been into this period of time since I've been into mouth breathing I saw somewhere right mouth breathing I saw somewhere right mouth breathing I saw somewhere right around when your book came out I knew around when your book came out I knew around when your book came out I knew that it was working because surgical that it was working because surgical that it was working because surgical tape came up to the top of mouth tape came up to the top of mouth tape came up to the top of mouth breathing when you typed it in inside of breathing when you typed it in inside of breathing when you typed it in inside of Amazon so people are using it and Amazon so people are using it and Amazon so people are using it and they're getting better from the process they're getting better from the process they're getting better from the process yeah I think 3M is extremely confused of yeah I think 3M is extremely confused of yeah I think 3M is extremely confused of what's going on with the with the rush what's going on with the with the rush what's going on with the with the rush for for mouth tape right now uh it was for for mouth tape right now uh it was for for mouth tape right now uh it was sold out for for weeks and weeks they're sold out for for weeks and weeks they're sold out for for weeks and weeks they're probably like what the hell a bunch of probably like what the hell a bunch of probably like what the hell a bunch of people doing home surgery now this is people doing home surgery now this is people doing home surgery now this is this is very strange but whatever works this is very strange but whatever works this is very strange but whatever works for people works I would not go on for people works I would not go on for people works I would not go on YouTube and look at advice unless you're YouTube and look at advice unless you're YouTube and look at advice unless you're looking at Dr Mark berhenney or you're looking at Dr Mark berhenney or you're looking at Dr Mark berhenney or you're looking at Patrick McEwen and his advice looking at Patrick McEwen and his advice looking at Patrick McEwen and his advice because people are using duct tape because people are using duct tape because people are using duct tape they're using masking tape you don't
1:51they're using masking tape you don't they're using masking tape you don't need any of this stuff this is not a need any of this stuff this is not a need any of this stuff this is not a hostage situation okay this is just hostage situation okay this is just hostage situation okay this is just trying to trying to train your jaw to be trying to trying to train your jaw to be trying to trying to train your jaw to be closed at night very softly if you can closed at night very softly if you can closed at night very softly if you can breathe through the sides of your mouth breathe through the sides of your mouth breathe through the sides of your mouth even if you can talk with a stap on cool even if you can talk with a stap on cool even if you can talk with a stap on cool the the point of this is just to gently the the point of this is just to gently the the point of this is just to gently remind you to keep your mouth shut and remind you to keep your mouth shut and remind you to keep your mouth shut and the great thing about so much of these the great thing about so much of these the great thing about so much of these these hacks is we have Technologies now these hacks is we have Technologies now these hacks is we have Technologies now that can measure how well they're that can measure how well they're that can measure how well they're working so I've measured my sleep not working so I've measured my sleep not working so I've measured my sleep not using mouth tape with the pulse oximeter using mouth tape with the pulse oximeter using mouth tape with the pulse oximeter versus using mouth tape I've used an app versus using mouth tape I've used an app versus using mouth tape I've used an app called snorlab which records your called snorlab which records your called snorlab which records your snoring throughout the night you can snoring throughout the night you can snoring throughout the night you can take other metrics before and after you take other metrics before and after you take other metrics before and after you can look at your pH and and breathing is can look at your pH and and breathing is can look at your pH and and breathing is so easy to measure so the benefits of it so easy to measure so the benefits of it so easy to measure so the benefits of it are so easy to see in this day and age are so easy to see in this day and age are so easy to see in this day and age so this is not some placebo effect this so this is not some placebo effect this so this is not some placebo effect this is your body operating in an efficient is your body operating in an efficient is your body operating in an efficient way and the fact that it's helping so way and the fact that it's helping so way and the fact that it's helping so many people overcome snoring I mean nine
1:52many people overcome snoring I mean nine many people overcome snoring I mean nine out of 10 of my friends who have tried out of 10 of my friends who have tried out of 10 of my friends who have tried it are no longer snowing I'm not going it are no longer snowing I'm not going it are no longer snowing I'm not going to say it's going to work for you I'm to say it's going to work for you I'm to say it's going to work for you I'm not promising anything but it's free and not promising anything but it's free and not promising anything but it's free and it's worth giving it a go and if you it's worth giving it a go and if you it's worth giving it a go and if you look online you can see hundreds or look online you can see hundreds or look online you can see hundreds or thousands of people who are saying the thousands of people who are saying the thousands of people who are saying the same thing that one product that that same thing that one product that that same thing that one product that that branded type of mouth tape called branded type of mouth tape called branded type of mouth tape called somnifix it works great and it works somnifix it works great and it works somnifix it works great and it works great for a lot of people so go for that great for a lot of people so go for that great for a lot of people so go for that if you want to use it so I'm not an if you want to use it so I'm not an if you want to use it so I'm not an evangelist I'm not an advocate for any evangelist I'm not an advocate for any evangelist I'm not an advocate for any specific product what I'm trying to say specific product what I'm trying to say specific product what I'm trying to say is there are benefits to nasal breathing is there are benefits to nasal breathing is there are benefits to nasal breathing especially during sleep you should especially during sleep you should especially during sleep you should really train yourself to do that by any really train yourself to do that by any really train yourself to do that by any means one of the interesting stats just means one of the interesting stats just means one of the interesting stats just on the topic of nasal breathing on on on the topic of nasal breathing on on on the topic of nasal breathing on on during sleep and not breathing through during sleep and not breathing through during sleep and not breathing through your mouth is you shared inside the book your mouth is you shared inside the book your mouth is you shared inside the book something about water retention and something about water retention and something about water retention and basically holding on to moisture inside basically holding on to moisture inside basically holding on to moisture inside can you share a little bit of that with can you share a little bit of that with can you share a little bit of that with the audience the audience the audience sure so if you're breathing through your
1:53sure so if you're breathing through your sure so if you're breathing through your mouth mouth mouth you're exhaling inhaling through your you're exhaling inhaling through your you're exhaling inhaling through your mouth you are going to lose 42 percent mouth you are going to lose 42 percent mouth you are going to lose 42 percent more water more water more water so there's a reason if your mouth so there's a reason if your mouth so there's a reason if your mouth breather at night that you wake up with breather at night that you wake up with breather at night that you wake up with this extremely dry mouth and I did this this extremely dry mouth and I did this this extremely dry mouth and I did this for decades I thought it was totally for decades I thought it was totally for decades I thought it was totally normal so I would go to sleep didn't normal so I would go to sleep didn't normal so I would go to sleep didn't matter if I was camping or I was in a matter if I was camping or I was in a matter if I was camping or I was in a hotel if I was at home I would have a hotel if I was at home I would have a hotel if I was at home I would have a big bottle next to me and I'd be hitting big bottle next to me and I'd be hitting big bottle next to me and I'd be hitting off that bottle all night because I off that bottle all night because I off that bottle all night because I would wake up mouth's dry take another would wake up mouth's dry take another would wake up mouth's dry take another hit go back to sleep that's not normal hit go back to sleep that's not normal hit go back to sleep that's not normal and if you look at people jogging right and if you look at people jogging right and if you look at people jogging right now I mean they now have all of these now I mean they now have all of these now I mean they now have all of these these backpacks with water in it with these backpacks with water in it with these backpacks with water in it with little straws they have belts with water little straws they have belts with water little straws they have belts with water bottles and these people are cruising bottles and these people are cruising bottles and these people are cruising around you just shut your mouth you're not you just shut your mouth you're not gonna need this stuff for a five mile gonna need this stuff for a five mile gonna need this stuff for a five mile jog you know to think you need water jog you know to think you need water jog you know to think you need water every 300 yards is absurd so this is every 300 yards is absurd so this is every 300 yards is absurd so this is again the study was out years and years again the study was out years and years again the study was out years and years ago no one's arguing with it but still
1:54ago no one's arguing with it but still ago no one's arguing with it but still it seems like a lot of people aren't it seems like a lot of people aren't it seems like a lot of people aren't looking at the core issue of their looking at the core issue of their looking at the core issue of their constant dehydration and so much of that constant dehydration and so much of that constant dehydration and so much of that has to do with the pathway through which has to do with the pathway through which has to do with the pathway through which they breathe air they breathe air they breathe air so as people go down the rabbit hole of so as people go down the rabbit hole of so as people go down the rabbit hole of your book they naturally start to ask your book they naturally start to ask your book they naturally start to ask themselves okay great what is the themselves okay great what is the themselves okay great what is the quote-unquote ideal breath or how should quote-unquote ideal breath or how should quote-unquote ideal breath or how should we be breathing ideally and you do a we be breathing ideally and you do a we be breathing ideally and you do a great job of basically explaining great job of basically explaining great job of basically explaining well okay through things like working well okay through things like working well okay through things like working out and maybe including in certain out and maybe including in certain out and maybe including in certain exercises we may have periods of time exercises we may have periods of time exercises we may have periods of time where we are breathing more so that we where we are breathing more so that we where we are breathing more so that we can set up a better resting breath can set up a better resting breath can set up a better resting breath that's there once we are in that resting that's there once we are in that resting that's there once we are in that resting phase where we're just doing our normal phase where we're just doing our normal phase where we're just doing our normal activities what does a quote-unquote activities what does a quote-unquote activities what does a quote-unquote ideal breath look like ideal breath look like ideal breath look like so an ideal breath is breathing in line so an ideal breath is breathing in line so an ideal breath is breathing in line with your metabolic needs so your with your metabolic needs so your with your metabolic needs so your metabolic needs are going to be metabolic needs are going to be metabolic needs are going to be different sitting on a couch and different sitting on a couch and different sitting on a couch and watching Queen's Gambit as they are when
1:55watching Queen's Gambit as they are when watching Queen's Gambit as they are when you're out jogging around right and it's you're out jogging around right and it's you're out jogging around right and it's hard to gauge that how do you know hard to gauge that how do you know hard to gauge that how do you know you're breathing right in line with your you're breathing right in line with your you're breathing right in line with your metabolic needs so what you can do is is metabolic needs so what you can do is is metabolic needs so what you can do is is first to train yourself to breathe a first to train yourself to breathe a first to train yourself to breathe a little less and the benefits of little less and the benefits of little less and the benefits of breathing less I just told you you breathing less I just told you you breathing less I just told you you actually get more oxygen you're able to actually get more oxygen you're able to actually get more oxygen you're able to increase your CO2 which includes a increase your CO2 which includes a increase your CO2 which includes a vasodilation more release of nitric vasodilation more release of nitric vasodilation more release of nitric oxide so many other benefits of that I oxide so many other benefits of that I oxide so many other benefits of that I found an an exercise that works good for found an an exercise that works good for found an an exercise that works good for me is to breathe into account of about me is to breathe into account of about me is to breathe into account of about five to six seconds and breathe out to five to six seconds and breathe out to five to six seconds and breathe out to that same count and do this for five that same count and do this for five that same count and do this for five minutes ten minutes a day I have my minutes ten minutes a day I have my minutes ten minutes a day I have my phone I put on this this app and I put phone I put on this this app and I put phone I put on this this app and I put it on my desk and just it on my desk and just it on my desk and just allow myself to breathe at this rate and allow myself to breathe at this rate and allow myself to breathe at this rate and then once you do that once you get the then once you do that once you get the then once you do that once you get the rhythm of it you start breathing that rhythm of it you start breathing that rhythm of it you start breathing that way unconsciously and that's the point way unconsciously and that's the point way unconsciously and that's the point of all this stuff you don't want to have of all this stuff you don't want to have of all this stuff you don't want to have to be carrying around your phone or to be carrying around your phone or to be carrying around your phone or looking at an app or a notepad you want
1:56looking at an app or a notepad you want looking at an app or a notepad you want to condition yourself so that you will to condition yourself so that you will to condition yourself so that you will breathe healthfully when you're not breathe healthfully when you're not breathe healthfully when you're not thinking about it and that starts by thinking about it and that starts by thinking about it and that starts by training yourself first into various training yourself first into various training yourself first into various methods of breathing less and breathing methods of breathing less and breathing methods of breathing less and breathing lightly and breathing deeper so I should lightly and breathing deeper so I should lightly and breathing deeper so I should mention if you ever want to decrease mention if you ever want to decrease mention if you ever want to decrease stress really relax a lot more you would stress really relax a lot more you would stress really relax a lot more you would increase your exhalations so right now increase your exhalations so right now increase your exhalations so right now if you take your hand and put it on your if you take your hand and put it on your if you take your hand and put it on your heart and you inhale to a count of about heart and you inhale to a count of about heart and you inhale to a count of about four and exhale to account about six or four and exhale to account about six or four and exhale to account about six or eight what's ever comfortable to you eight what's ever comfortable to you eight what's ever comfortable to you you'll notice your heart rate lowers it you'll notice your heart rate lowers it you'll notice your heart rate lowers it gets slower and slower when you're gets slower and slower when you're gets slower and slower when you're exhaling so at any time in the day you exhaling so at any time in the day you exhaling so at any time in the day you can breathe into account of about six can breathe into account of about six can breathe into account of about six exhale to to about exhale to to about exhale to to about six or seven or eight even shorten that six or seven or eight even shorten that six or seven or eight even shorten that inhale a little bit and you will notice inhale a little bit and you will notice inhale a little bit and you will notice that your body is getting calmer your that your body is getting calmer your that your body is getting calmer your blood pressure goes down you'll feel blood pressure goes down you'll feel blood pressure goes down you'll feel some more warmth at your fingertips some more warmth at your fingertips some more warmth at your fingertips because you're entering that
1:57because you're entering that because you're entering that parasympathetic State and again this is parasympathetic State and again this is parasympathetic State and again this is this is stuff no one's arguing that this this is stuff no one's arguing that this this is stuff no one's arguing that this stuff works you can see it for yourself stuff works you can see it for yourself stuff works you can see it for yourself with with simple wearables it's the fact with with simple wearables it's the fact with with simple wearables it's the fact that a lot of people aren't accessing that a lot of people aren't accessing that a lot of people aren't accessing this that's what I was trying to do with this that's what I was trying to do with this that's what I was trying to do with the book is really get this information the book is really get this information the book is really get this information out there yeah I see them as tools in out there yeah I see them as tools in out there yeah I see them as tools in the toolbox simple no cost or even low the toolbox simple no cost or even low the toolbox simple no cost or even low costs that are out there widely costs that are out there widely costs that are out there widely available and those are the best available and those are the best available and those are the best interventions they're often written off interventions they're often written off interventions they're often written off as soft interventions but when we add as soft interventions but when we add as soft interventions but when we add them up and actually integrate them into them up and actually integrate them into them up and actually integrate them into our life they make such a difference one our life they make such a difference one our life they make such a difference one of those areas that you chat about of those areas that you chat about of those areas that you chat about that's something that we all do that's something that we all do that's something that we all do too much often but we all do which is too much often but we all do which is too much often but we all do which is eating and there is something that we eating and there is something that we eating and there is something that we can do when it comes to how we eat that can do when it comes to how we eat that can do when it comes to how we eat that could also benefit this process and it could also benefit this process and it could also benefit this process and it has to do with chewing has to do with chewing has to do with chewing can you chat a little bit about chewing can you chat a little bit about chewing can you chat a little bit about chewing and how it's so Central to what we're and how it's so Central to what we're and how it's so Central to what we're talking about here sure there's a reason talking about here sure there's a reason talking about here sure there's a reason so many cultures uh did grace before a so many cultures uh did grace before a so many cultures uh did grace before a meal that would stop for a moment and
1:58meal that would stop for a moment and meal that would stop for a moment and pray and pray and pray and take this very slow breath they're take this very slow breath they're take this very slow breath they're eliciting a parasympathetic response and eliciting a parasympathetic response and eliciting a parasympathetic response and so when you elicit a parasympathetic so when you elicit a parasympathetic so when you elicit a parasympathetic response you're going to be able to response you're going to be able to response you're going to be able to digest your food so much better because digest your food so much better because digest your food so much better because the stomach and the intestines those are the stomach and the intestines those are the stomach and the intestines those are some of the areas that are cut off when some of the areas that are cut off when some of the areas that are cut off when you're stressed out which is why eating you're stressed out which is why eating you're stressed out which is why eating is so difficult after you've just had a is so difficult after you've just had a is so difficult after you've just had a big fight with someone or if you're big fight with someone or if you're big fight with someone or if you're really amped up so you can start by really amped up so you can start by really amped up so you can start by taking you can pray if you want that's taking you can pray if you want that's taking you can pray if you want that's great before a meal and you could start great before a meal and you could start great before a meal and you could start by taking a very slow and easy breath by taking a very slow and easy breath by taking a very slow and easy breath before you tuck in and start eating before you tuck in and start eating before you tuck in and start eating something so beyond that if you look at something so beyond that if you look at something so beyond that if you look at the way that the body gets rid of fat it the way that the body gets rid of fat it the way that the body gets rid of fat it gets rid of fat with oxygen you need gets rid of fat with oxygen you need gets rid of fat with oxygen you need oxygen to burn fat so you want to be oxygen to burn fat so you want to be oxygen to burn fat so you want to be able to be breathing efficiently and able to be breathing efficiently and able to be breathing efficiently and having that good circulation throughout having that good circulation throughout having that good circulation throughout your body to really burn more fat so your body to really burn more fat so your body to really burn more fat so there's there's a bunch of different there's there's a bunch of different there's there's a bunch of different things tied to breathing and Metabolism things tied to breathing and Metabolism things tied to breathing and Metabolism those those are just a few of them to those those are just a few of them to those those are just a few of them to start off with if you had the new start off with if you had the new start off with if you had the new surgeon general's ear
1:59surgeon general's ear surgeon general's ear um and they were looking to um and they were looking to um and they were looking to these tools that we have in our toolbox these tools that we have in our toolbox these tools that we have in our toolbox that could have widespread implications that could have widespread implications that could have widespread implications if we brought them in just like people if we brought them in just like people if we brought them in just like people right now are saying okay great you know right now are saying okay great you know right now are saying okay great you know covet is going on we're waiting for covet is going on we're waiting for covet is going on we're waiting for vaccine while we wait for it there might vaccine while we wait for it there might vaccine while we wait for it there might be some usage of maybe even giving be some usage of maybe even giving be some usage of maybe even giving vitamin D because there's so much data vitamin D because there's so much data vitamin D because there's so much data on it out freely especially to people on it out freely especially to people on it out freely especially to people who are in need low cost great who are in need low cost great who are in need low cost great intervention and could be have an intervention and could be have an intervention and could be have an incredible impact while we wait for incredible impact while we wait for incredible impact while we wait for other Solutions if you had the surgeon other Solutions if you had the surgeon other Solutions if you had the surgeon general's ears what tools in your general's ears what tools in your general's ears what tools in your toolbox you've talked about in the book toolbox you've talked about in the book toolbox you've talked about in the book are things that you might recommend that are things that you might recommend that are things that you might recommend that could have a massive impact if thought could have a massive impact if thought could have a massive impact if thought about on a public health level about on a public health level about on a public health level I recently had a conversation with Dr I recently had a conversation with Dr I recently had a conversation with Dr David haskum who's been working with Dr David haskum who's been working with Dr David haskum who's been working with Dr Stephen porges on a protocol for covid Stephen porges on a protocol for covid Stephen porges on a protocol for covid and this protocol is not only good for and this protocol is not only good for and this protocol is not only good for people who might be susceptible to
2:00people who might be susceptible to people who might be susceptible to getting coveted but people who have had getting coveted but people who have had getting coveted but people who have had covet or are suffering from covet it's a covet or are suffering from covet it's a covet or are suffering from covet it's a protocol that's that's good for everyone protocol that's that's good for everyone protocol that's that's good for everyone so one thing that we don't seem to be so one thing that we don't seem to be so one thing that we don't seem to be looking at we're we're into social looking at we're we're into social looking at we're we're into social distancing which is great we're into distancing which is great we're into distancing which is great we're into wearing masks which is great but we're wearing masks which is great but we're wearing masks which is great but we're not looking into our health the health not looking into our health the health not looking into our health the health of our bodies so the way that our bodies of our bodies so the way that our bodies of our bodies so the way that our bodies are going to be able to defend are going to be able to defend are going to be able to defend themselves so much more better is if themselves so much more better is if themselves so much more better is if they're operating properly so vitamin D they're operating properly so vitamin D they're operating properly so vitamin D plays a big part of that vitamin C plays plays a big part of that vitamin C plays plays a big part of that vitamin C plays a big part of that magnesium plays a big a big part of that magnesium plays a big a big part of that magnesium plays a big part of that but our breathing plays a part of that but our breathing plays a part of that but our breathing plays a big part of that as well because our big part of that as well because our big part of that as well because our breathing can help take control of our this is a virus that causes Mass inflammation Nation throughout the body inflammation Nation throughout the body inflammation Nation throughout the body and infects the respiratory system so and infects the respiratory system so and infects the respiratory system so you need to be breeding properly and I you need to be breeding properly and I you need to be breeding properly and I haven't heard anyone talking about this haven't heard anyone talking about this haven't heard anyone talking about this at all I know that Louis ignaro is
2:01at all I know that Louis ignaro is at all I know that Louis ignaro is talking about nasal breathing and the talking about nasal breathing and the talking about nasal breathing and the power of nitric oxide so our noses power of nitric oxide so our noses power of nitric oxide so our noses produce six times more nitric oxide than produce six times more nitric oxide than produce six times more nitric oxide than breathing through the mouth and it's no breathing through the mouth and it's no breathing through the mouth and it's no coincidence that there are 11 different coincidence that there are 11 different coincidence that there are 11 different clinical trials going on right now clinical trials going on right now clinical trials going on right now looking at giving nitric oxide to people looking at giving nitric oxide to people looking at giving nitric oxide to people suffering from serious symptoms of covid suffering from serious symptoms of covid suffering from serious symptoms of covid we produce our own nitric oxide who's we produce our own nitric oxide who's we produce our own nitric oxide who's talking about nasal breathing who's talking about nasal breathing who's talking about nasal breathing who's talking about breathing slowly to reduce talking about breathing slowly to reduce talking about breathing slowly to reduce inflammation and to calm yourself down I inflammation and to calm yourself down I inflammation and to calm yourself down I don't hear really anyone and you know I don't hear really anyone and you know I don't hear really anyone and you know I don't hear even fouchy talking about don't hear even fouchy talking about don't hear even fouchy talking about this but the people who have been this but the people who have been this but the people who have been researching this for so long including researching this for so long including researching this for so long including haskum including porridge they've known haskum including porridge they've known haskum including porridge they've known this for a long time so I would have the this for a long time so I would have the this for a long time so I would have the surgeon Dental call up these experts in surgeon Dental call up these experts in surgeon Dental call up these experts in the field and really lend their ear to the field and really lend their ear to the field and really lend their ear to establish publishing some sort of system establish publishing some sort of system establish publishing some sort of system for people to create a very hostile for people to create a very hostile for people to create a very hostile environment for a virus to take root and environment for a virus to take root and environment for a virus to take root and that starts with breathing through the that starts with breathing through the that starts with breathing through the nose that starts with taking your uh all
2:02nose that starts with taking your uh all nose that starts with taking your uh all of the appropriate and proper vitamins of the appropriate and proper vitamins of the appropriate and proper vitamins and it starts by calming yourself down and it starts by calming yourself down and it starts by calming yourself down by breathing lightly and slowly by breathing lightly and slowly by breathing lightly and slowly as a journalist she was very aware of as a journalist she was very aware of as a journalist she was very aware of the news and trends that are out there the news and trends that are out there the news and trends that are out there masks has been of something that has masks has been of something that has masks has been of something that has been very polarizing as anybody can see been very polarizing as anybody can see been very polarizing as anybody can see who's been just watching as somebody who who's been just watching as somebody who who's been just watching as somebody who studies breath studies breath studies breath can you talk a little about some of the can you talk a little about some of the can you talk a little about some of the concerns that people who maybe are concerns that people who maybe are concerns that people who maybe are against Mass have that this feeling of against Mass have that this feeling of against Mass have that this feeling of oh well see this guy's talking about oh well see this guy's talking about oh well see this guy's talking about breath masks are gonna obstruct that breath masks are gonna obstruct that breath masks are gonna obstruct that they're gonna have these challenges that they're gonna have these challenges that they're gonna have these challenges that are there I would just love to touch on are there I would just love to touch on are there I would just love to touch on it just because I feel I would be I it just because I feel I would be I it just because I feel I would be I would be I would be ReSound if I felt would be I would be ReSound if I felt would be I would be ReSound if I felt like I feel like you could address it like I feel like you could address it like I feel like you could address it better than anybody else talking about better than anybody else talking about better than anybody else talking about it because you're the guy that's looking it because you're the guy that's looking it because you're the guy that's looking at it and studying it well now the at it and studying it well now the at it and studying it well now the pressure's on so I have a feeling you're pressure's on so I have a feeling you're pressure's on so I have a feeling you're gonna be very disappointed by by what I gonna be very disappointed by by what I gonna be very disappointed by by what I have to offer here have to offer here have to offer here um but I have looked into this a bit um but I have looked into this a bit um but I have looked into this a bit I've gotten about a zillion emails about I've gotten about a zillion emails about I've gotten about a zillion emails about it as well so the main complaint with it as well so the main complaint with it as well so the main complaint with people wearing masks is they say there's
2:03people wearing masks is they say there's people wearing masks is they say there's no way I'm getting enough oxygen I'm no way I'm getting enough oxygen I'm no way I'm getting enough oxygen I'm just I'm trying to breathe in I'm not just I'm trying to breathe in I'm not just I'm trying to breathe in I'm not getting enough oxygen I'm starting to getting enough oxygen I'm starting to getting enough oxygen I'm starting to panic this cannot be healthy for me panic this cannot be healthy for me panic this cannot be healthy for me that is so wrong that is so wrong that is so wrong and if people question this what I don't and if people question this what I don't and if people question this what I don't understand is why don't you go down to understand is why don't you go down to understand is why don't you go down to Walgreens and buy one of these things so Walgreens and buy one of these things so Walgreens and buy one of these things so there's a pulse oximeter costs about 15 there's a pulse oximeter costs about 15 there's a pulse oximeter costs about 15 bucks wear your mask and see what bucks wear your mask and see what bucks wear your mask and see what happens with your blood SATs and your happens with your blood SATs and your happens with your blood SATs and your blood SATs aren't going to be going down blood SATs aren't going to be going down blood SATs aren't going to be going down so there's many different kinds of masks so there's many different kinds of masks so there's many different kinds of masks maybe a five ply mass will make maybe a five ply mass will make maybe a five ply mass will make breathing a lot more difficult that need breathing a lot more difficult that need breathing a lot more difficult that need to breathe is dictated by Rising levels to breathe is dictated by Rising levels to breathe is dictated by Rising levels of carbon dioxide not by a lack of of carbon dioxide not by a lack of of carbon dioxide not by a lack of oxygen in the body so there's been oxygen in the body so there's been oxygen in the body so there's been various studies that are showing various studies that are showing various studies that are showing breathing through a mass does not affect breathing through a mass does not affect breathing through a mass does not affect oxygen levels and again if you don't oxygen levels and again if you don't oxygen levels and again if you don't believe the experts in this check it out believe the experts in this check it out believe the experts in this check it out yourself so I have to wear a mask all yourself so I have to wear a mask all yourself so I have to wear a mask all the time San Francisco was one of the the time San Francisco was one of the the time San Francisco was one of the most Progressive cities in shutting down most Progressive cities in shutting down most Progressive cities in shutting down and forcing people to wear masks I take and forcing people to wear masks I take and forcing people to wear masks I take this as an opportunity to breathe slowly
2:04this as an opportunity to breathe slowly this as an opportunity to breathe slowly to focus on my breath to breathe these to focus on my breath to breathe these to focus on my breath to breathe these very deep and enriching breaths and very deep and enriching breaths and very deep and enriching breaths and knowing that that need to breathe should knowing that that need to breathe should knowing that that need to breathe should I have it is dictated by CO2 and that I have it is dictated by CO2 and that I have it is dictated by CO2 and that having more CO2 in the body can actually having more CO2 in the body can actually having more CO2 in the body can actually have a lot of benefits to our health have a lot of benefits to our health have a lot of benefits to our health yeah and it's something so fundamental yeah and it's something so fundamental yeah and it's something so fundamental that we learned from a young age it's that we learned from a young age it's that we learned from a young age it's like they always get the example of like like they always get the example of like like they always get the example of like well if a human being went without food well if a human being went without food well if a human being went without food okay they can laugh this long if they okay they can laugh this long if they okay they can laugh this long if they didn't have water they can live this didn't have water they can live this didn't have water they can live this long well if they didn't have oxygen long well if they didn't have oxygen long well if they didn't have oxygen they can only live this much amount of they can only live this much amount of they can only live this much amount of time and yes that's partially true but time and yes that's partially true but time and yes that's partially true but we never paid attention to CO2 even I we never paid attention to CO2 even I we never paid attention to CO2 even I learned so much new information from learned so much new information from learned so much new information from reading your book on that topic so thank reading your book on that topic so thank reading your book on that topic so thank you for breaking it down uh you know so you for breaking it down uh you know so you for breaking it down uh you know so eloquently inside of the book sure and eloquently inside of the book sure and eloquently inside of the book sure and you know I just want to mention the mass you know I just want to mention the mass you know I just want to mention the mass thing like the amount of energy and time thing like the amount of energy and time thing like the amount of energy and time people are spending on chat rooms people are spending on chat rooms people are spending on chat rooms writing people saying mass or unhealthy writing people saying mass or unhealthy writing people saying mass or unhealthy they're not I mean people are spending they're not I mean people are spending they're not I mean people are spending hours and hours on this shouldn't they
2:05hours and hours on this shouldn't they hours and hours on this shouldn't they be spending that time actually testing be spending that time actually testing be spending that time actually testing if the mass that they're wearing is if the mass that they're wearing is if the mass that they're wearing is affecting their body in any way so I affecting their body in any way so I affecting their body in any way so I know that this is part of a deeper know that this is part of a deeper know that this is part of a deeper conversation of what's going on in this conversation of what's going on in this conversation of what's going on in this country but it's just baffling why not country but it's just baffling why not country but it's just baffling why not spend a little time and look at the data spend a little time and look at the data spend a little time and look at the data and look at the real science behind this and look at the real science behind this and look at the real science behind this all and and and you will you'll see the all and and and you will you'll see the all and and and you will you'll see the truth in that way instead of relying on truth in that way instead of relying on truth in that way instead of relying on someone else's opinion so uh you know I someone else's opinion so uh you know I someone else's opinion so uh you know I I understand that people are hesitant to I understand that people are hesitant to I understand that people are hesitant to wear masks there's other reasons people wear masks there's other reasons people wear masks there's other reasons people don't want to wear masks but if you don't want to wear masks but if you don't want to wear masks but if you think it's causing you a deprivation of think it's causing you a deprivation of think it's causing you a deprivation of oxygen uh you should think again and oxygen uh you should think again and oxygen uh you should think again and look at the actual data for sure and I look at the actual data for sure and I look at the actual data for sure and I love what you said earlier which is the love what you said earlier which is the love what you said earlier which is the the larger context of this is that uh the larger context of this is that uh the larger context of this is that uh and and we have past podcast guests and and we have past podcast guests and and we have past podcast guests Chris cresser who's somebody that we Chris cresser who's somebody that we Chris cresser who's somebody that we turn to a lot to like break down a lot turn to a lot to like break down a lot turn to a lot to like break down a lot of the science and talk about the of the science and talk about the of the science and talk about the wellness is that we're putting so much wellness is that we're putting so much wellness is that we're putting so much attention on mask there's other attention on mask there's other attention on mask there's other components that are there that deserve components that are there that deserve components that are there that deserve attention yes masks are not perfect attention yes masks are not perfect attention yes masks are not perfect they're not designed to be a Panacea they're not designed to be a Panacea they're not designed to be a Panacea even if every single person in the US
2:06even if every single person in the US even if every single person in the US was wearing it because we're struggling was wearing it because we're struggling was wearing it because we're struggling with obesity because we're struggling with obesity because we're struggling with obesity because we're struggling with mouth breathing because we're with mouth breathing because we're with mouth breathing because we're struggling with all these things that struggling with all these things that struggling with all these things that other countries aren't struggling with other countries aren't struggling with other countries aren't struggling with we'd probably still have really bad we'd probably still have really bad we'd probably still have really bad rates of covet over here and let's not rates of covet over here and let's not rates of covet over here and let's not give it that much attention on masks for give it that much attention on masks for give it that much attention on masks for masks against we need to do that and masks against we need to do that and masks against we need to do that and Folk focus on these other aspects that Folk focus on these other aspects that Folk focus on these other aspects that we know can make a major difference we know can make a major difference we know can make a major difference today I could not agree with you more today I could not agree with you more today I could not agree with you more how many people are talking about the how many people are talking about the how many people are talking about the food you're eating right now how many food you're eating right now how many food you're eating right now how many people are talking about exercise how people are talking about exercise how people are talking about exercise how many people are talking about getting many people are talking about getting many people are talking about getting adequate sleep uh you know there's adequate sleep uh you know there's adequate sleep uh you know there's sometimes a mention of vitamin D there's sometimes a mention of vitamin D there's sometimes a mention of vitamin D there's sometimes a mention of vitamin C but sometimes a mention of vitamin C but sometimes a mention of vitamin C but people aren't looking at this whole people aren't looking at this whole people aren't looking at this whole Foundation of health because if they did Foundation of health because if they did Foundation of health because if they did if they said maybe you shouldn't go to if they said maybe you shouldn't go to if they said maybe you shouldn't go to Burger King today and get a get a triple Burger King today and get a get a triple Burger King today and get a get a triple Whopper maybe you need to start paying Whopper maybe you need to start paying Whopper maybe you need to start paying attention to the food you're eating attention to the food you're eating attention to the food you're eating because that's going to affect your because that's going to affect your because that's going to affect your levels of inflammation and affect the levels of inflammation and affect the levels of inflammation and affect the General Health in your body but no one General Health in your body but no one General Health in your body but no one can do that in this country because can do that in this country because can do that in this country because doing so I mean that that person would doing so I mean that that person would doing so I mean that that person would get would get thrown out luckily we have
2:07get would get thrown out luckily we have get would get thrown out luckily we have other means of getting information we other means of getting information we other means of getting information we have other scientists we have other have other scientists we have other have other scientists we have other experts in the field who really do the experts in the field who really do the experts in the field who really do the work and can offer a clear way forward work and can offer a clear way forward work and can offer a clear way forward to establishing proper Health to make to establishing proper Health to make to establishing proper Health to make ourselves more resilient to viruses and ourselves more resilient to viruses and ourselves more resilient to viruses and other issues and I think Dr Stephen other issues and I think Dr Stephen other issues and I think Dr Stephen reporters and Dr David Haskin that's a reporters and Dr David Haskin that's a reporters and Dr David Haskin that's a great place to start their protocol is great place to start their protocol is great place to start their protocol is available for free for everyone and it available for free for everyone and it available for free for everyone and it makes perfect sense I've read it a few makes perfect sense I've read it a few makes perfect sense I've read it a few times times times James in conclusion before we wrap up James in conclusion before we wrap up James in conclusion before we wrap up and tell our audience where they can and tell our audience where they can and tell our audience where they can keep in touch with you keep in touch with you keep in touch with you your book and immersing yourself into your book and immersing yourself into your book and immersing yourself into this world of breath was so much about this world of breath was so much about this world of breath was so much about taking this as you say Lost Art this taking this as you say Lost Art this taking this as you say Lost Art this thing that we once knew so intimately as thing that we once knew so intimately as thing that we once knew so intimately as core to our existence as human being core to our existence as human being core to our existence as human being that we forgot about in fact when you that we forgot about in fact when you that we forgot about in fact when you wrote that I thought of this quote by wrote that I thought of this quote by wrote that I thought of this quote by Eckhart Tolle and I'm paraphrasing here Eckhart Tolle and I'm paraphrasing here Eckhart Tolle and I'm paraphrasing here he said it's in the nature of human he said it's in the nature of human he said it's in the nature of human beings to have something and he's beings to have something and he's beings to have something and he's talking about levels of awareness around talking about levels of awareness around talking about levels of awareness around Consciousness it's in the nature of
2:08Consciousness it's in the nature of Consciousness it's in the nature of human beings to have something lose it human beings to have something lose it human beings to have something lose it find it again and then understand it at find it again and then understand it at find it again and then understand it at a deeper level than they did when they a deeper level than they did when they a deeper level than they did when they first started off are there any other first started off are there any other first started off are there any other areas that you've been paying attention areas that you've been paying attention areas that you've been paying attention to that are similar or maybe have a lot to that are similar or maybe have a lot to that are similar or maybe have a lot of uh yes have a lot of similarities to of uh yes have a lot of similarities to of uh yes have a lot of similarities to this world of breath things that we so this world of breath things that we so this world of breath things that we so were so baked into our existence and were so baked into our existence and were so baked into our existence and maybe even Evolution as human beings or maybe even Evolution as human beings or maybe even Evolution as human beings or core function of Health but we just core function of Health but we just core function of Health but we just forgot about and we don't even know forgot about and we don't even know forgot about and we don't even know maybe that we forgot about it I think a maybe that we forgot about it I think a maybe that we forgot about it I think a really good analog is nutrition and is really good analog is nutrition and is really good analog is nutrition and is diet so 120 130 years ago nutritionists diet so 120 130 years ago nutritionists diet so 120 130 years ago nutritionists were saying this process industrialized were saying this process industrialized were saying this process industrialized food industrialized food is crappy for food industrialized food is crappy for food industrialized food is crappy for us it's ruining our teeth it's ruining us it's ruining our teeth it's ruining us it's ruining our teeth it's ruining our health who listen to them not a lot our health who listen to them not a lot our health who listen to them not a lot of people so instead we build this food of people so instead we build this food of people so instead we build this food pyramid that puts carbs at the very top pyramid that puts carbs at the very top pyramid that puts carbs at the very top of this of this pyramid that establishes of this of this pyramid that establishes of this of this pyramid that establishes all of these foods that we knew weren't
2:09all of these foods that we knew weren't all of these foods that we knew weren't healthy for us and this is a food healthy for us and this is a food healthy for us and this is a food pyramid we followed for a very long time pyramid we followed for a very long time pyramid we followed for a very long time but yet people were finding that when but yet people were finding that when but yet people were finding that when they weren't eating Foods within this they weren't eating Foods within this they weren't eating Foods within this food pyramid when they were actually food pyramid when they were actually food pyramid when they were actually eating more calories more than the 2 000 eating more calories more than the 2 000 eating more calories more than the 2 000 calories we were supposed to eat a day calories we were supposed to eat a day calories we were supposed to eat a day they were losing weight in some cases they were losing weight in some cases they were losing weight in some cases they could use diet to get rid of some they could use diet to get rid of some they could use diet to get rid of some forms of epilepsy or some forms of forms of epilepsy or some forms of forms of epilepsy or some forms of cancer and so it was only until like cancer and so it was only until like cancer and so it was only until like decades and Decades of all of these decades and Decades of all of these decades and Decades of all of these incongruities in in the data in the incongruities in in the data in the incongruities in in the data in the established data that we realized that established data that we realized that established data that we realized that this whole Paradigm that we had built this whole Paradigm that we had built this whole Paradigm that we had built around nutrition was completely wrong around nutrition was completely wrong around nutrition was completely wrong eating fat does not make you fat right eating fat does not make you fat right eating fat does not make you fat right and that's what we had that's what I had and that's what we had that's what I had and that's what we had that's what I had been told growing up everything I ate been told growing up everything I ate been told growing up everything I ate was was low fat high carb high sugar I was was low fat high carb high sugar I was was low fat high carb high sugar I was told that this was the healthy stuff was told that this was the healthy stuff was told that this was the healthy stuff so luckily the cat's out of the bag with so luckily the cat's out of the bag with so luckily the cat's out of the bag with the food thing right it's hard to find
2:10the food thing right it's hard to find the food thing right it's hard to find people who are now defending eating people who are now defending eating people who are now defending eating processed grains as as a means to health processed grains as as a means to health processed grains as as a means to health we know that whole food Foods the the we know that whole food Foods the the we know that whole food Foods the the original foods that we were eating for original foods that we were eating for original foods that we were eating for so many millions of years those are the so many millions of years those are the so many millions of years those are the proper foods and I see that breathing is proper foods and I see that breathing is proper foods and I see that breathing is really this in it's so similar in so really this in it's so similar in so really this in it's so similar in so many ways we keep discovering this stuff many ways we keep discovering this stuff many ways we keep discovering this stuff it keeps going away Discover it again it keeps going away Discover it again it keeps going away Discover it again it's named something else it's a it's named something else it's a it's named something else it's a research somewhere else it's considered research somewhere else it's considered research somewhere else it's considered a new discovery but it's just a rehash a new discovery but it's just a rehash a new discovery but it's just a rehash on what we've already learned from so on what we've already learned from so on what we've already learned from so many centuries past so I believe that many centuries past so I believe that many centuries past so I believe that we're right now at this new Crest in in we're right now at this new Crest in in we're right now at this new Crest in in breathing and in breathing awareness and breathing and in breathing awareness and breathing and in breathing awareness and hopefully we have different ways of hopefully we have different ways of hopefully we have different ways of disseminating information so I don't disseminating information so I don't disseminating information so I don't think it'll get buried again the think it'll get buried again the think it'll get buried again the foundation of science is absolutely Rock foundation of science is absolutely Rock foundation of science is absolutely Rock Solid and you the great thing is you can Solid and you the great thing is you can Solid and you the great thing is you can see for yourself just adjusting your see for yourself just adjusting your see for yourself just adjusting your breathing in some very simple ways you breathing in some very simple ways you breathing in some very simple ways you can just see how how immediately that can just see how how immediately that can just see how how immediately that affects you and that's such an important affects you and that's such an important affects you and that's such an important Legacy of the book is that simple
2:11Legacy of the book is that simple Legacy of the book is that simple interventions I've mentioned it before interventions I've mentioned it before interventions I've mentioned it before but that's the beauty of these things but that's the beauty of these things but that's the beauty of these things they're available to all of us and we they're available to all of us and we they're available to all of us and we can all do them and can all do them and can all do them and they're right here so sometimes though they're right here so sometimes though they're right here so sometimes though we do need as human beings you know we do need as human beings you know we do need as human beings you know you've all know a Harari and his work so you've all know a Harari and his work so you've all know a Harari and his work so much of our Evolution as human beings much of our Evolution as human beings much of our Evolution as human beings has been storytelling machines we need has been storytelling machines we need has been storytelling machines we need that story told to us and you wrote what that story told to us and you wrote what that story told to us and you wrote what a beautiful story uh to get people a beautiful story uh to get people a beautiful story uh to get people excited about this area I I can't see I excited about this area I I can't see I excited about this area I I can't see I when your book first came out and I when your book first came out and I when your book first came out and I hadn't had a chance to read it but I was hadn't had a chance to read it but I was hadn't had a chance to read it but I was doing these episodes of different people doing these episodes of different people doing these episodes of different people I've never had that many people tell me I've never had that many people tell me I've never had that many people tell me that have you read this book have you that have you read this book have you that have you read this book have you read this book so you're definitely read this book so you're definitely read this book so you're definitely making an impact making an impact making an impact um the book is out there uh you if you um the book is out there uh you if you um the book is out there uh you if you don't already own it it's available to don't already own it it's available to don't already own it it's available to you you should definitely get it Pratt you you should definitely get it Pratt you you should definitely get it Pratt the new science of a lost art James how the new science of a lost art James how the new science of a lost art James how can people keep in touch to touch with can people keep in touch to touch with can people keep in touch to touch with you and are there any upcoming things you and are there any upcoming things you and are there any upcoming things that you want to highlight uh you've that you want to highlight uh you've that you want to highlight uh you've been seeing you doing some really cool been seeing you doing some really cool been seeing you doing some really cool content on Instagram and kind of content on Instagram and kind of content on Instagram and kind of workshops and Q and A's with interesting
