Breathing is the most reflexive movement in the body, but it doesn’t have to be. Our guest today, Patrick McKeown, is an expert in Buteyko breathing and the founder of the Oxygen Advantage. Patrick teaches us the benefits of nasal breathing and some great practices for changing from a mouth breather to a diaphragm breather. Some highlights from the episode include how raising your CO2 levels will help to further oxygenate your body and using nightly mouth taping to get rid of sleep apnea, snoring, and insomnia. This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers. We know that breathing can help you get into a parasympathetic state which is optimal for digestion, but if you are consuming high levels of protein that may not be enough. That is where Bioptimizers comes in. Bioptimizers Masszymes help to break down proteins and allows you to absorb more of the protein that you consume, an essential for muscle gain.
