My guest today is author and journalist James Nestor. He has written for Scientific American, Outside Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, Surfer’s Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, and several other publications.
James believes that the world has lost the ability to breathe properly. After spending years in laboratories and ancient burial sites, working with researchers at Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions to figure out what went wrong with our breathing, he’s learned how to fix it.
From his discovery, James has spent the last several years working on a book called Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. It released on May 26, 2020, and was an instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times, Sunday London Times Top 10 bestseller.
Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly over the past several hundred thousand years and is now suffering from a laundry list of maladies - snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease - because of it. James Nestor has traveled the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it, and today, he’s sharing that knowledge with you all!
If you’re ready to learn the secrets about proper breathing techniques and how breathing will change your life, join me on Episode 1,060!

I’m 75 years old, as a baby I developed asthma & ended up in intensive care numerous times. They discovered I had an allergy to house dust, so my parents ripped up all the carpet in the house. I continued to suffer from asthma. I was administered antibiotics, steroids etc to no avail. At age 10 a lung specialist, told my mother, all these medications, were not working & effecting my immune system. In those days there were no asthma puffers, ventolin. The specialist told my mum, get a dress makers tape measure, he had one & demonstrated how to use it. He said Put it around just below your diaphragm. Each day let out all the air in your lungs, then breath deep & low, do this as many times a day & keep measuring the increase in inches. It worked & I got rid of asthma. Cheers Nik. ❤️

I first learned to breathe correctly as a vocalist. Babies are born breathing with their diaphragm, but as we get older, we start breathing more shallow and by the time we are elders, we are only breathing through the top of our lungs. So learning to breathe through the stomach is very helpful, I noticed how comfortable it was and that I was getting much more oxygen that way. Then when I discovered yoga and meditation techniques, I noticed how much more calming it is to breathe deep, long, breaths through the nose. I breathe through my nose and stomach without even thinking about it anymore, but notice if I'm stressed, I have to get back into that way of breathing, to steady my thoughts and release whatever negativity I'm feeling, just through breathing correctly. It is highly effective.

It’s crazy how intelligent our body is. When I was younger I had asthma. During summer time I would spend my entire day at the pool and I would challenge myself to do 1 lap under water with one breathe or throw a ring in the deeper level of the pool and go get it. I did not realized that truly my body was guiding instinctively to do those things to help itself operate on an optimal level. I’ve been led to focus on breathing exercises lately, thank you for providing such good information and helping people awaken to their full potential.

i wanted to share my story in this video since it's such a comprehensive look at breathing. At 17 I had reactive arthritis. At 23 I had tuberculosis, and there wasn't a year where I didn't get sick. even four times or more during one year. it wasn't rare.. Now, I've been researching and practicing breathing techniques for 2 years. Pushing through anxiety and depression while doing it, it's hard to know if you're on the right path when there's no one beside you willing to understand the place where you are, where you want to be, why you want to walk that path. Thanks to It pushing through, though (and this is how I know I've made progress), I've been able to get in touch with several areas of my body affected by trauma early in my childhood (Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and 1 major injury, 1 surgery, and 2 minor injuries). It's hard because it's so much stuff to work through. Unevenness in posture; tightness in muscles and tendons; abdominal, diaphragmatic, and spinal miscoordination. Some areas of my spine remain inactive, cause nervous aerophagia, shallow breathing, thoracic mobility issues, and whatnot... But breathing.... breathing has been a medicine for it all. Physical, psychological, emotional level.... the spirit, you might say, want to wake up. Thanks for sharing this.

@@anonutzo1199 Yeah, and besides that.. just feeling good in general. I've discovered that to feel pain is normal, sometimes it's better to avoid it, sometimes it's better to give in and work through it. It depends. For example, if I'm feeling pain on a bone (usually I feel it sometimes in my shin), it's probably due to pressure, and I distribute weight somewhere else to avoid it. In the other hand, sometimes I feel pain on the ball of my right foot just below what would be the thumb toe, and I press harder on that and distribute the weight on the rest of the foot, because I know it's because it's been overall-y inactive and that's what that pain is telling me. Right now I have a headache, and If I breathe shallowly, 'it goes away', but at the cost of my posture, and I know it's still there, but I'm just making myself numb to it. Instead, I'm breathing deeply and I'm feeling how tension comes and goes exactly behind my eyes and left ear (this also has connections to the rest of my body, but I'll just focus on that), but by feeling that tension I feel how the headache is slowly going away, and actually improving on my posture too. Instead of making myself numb to it, I work through it.

Dr. Weston Price studied the teeth and dental structure of indigenous people around the world who never ate our modern day foods. What he found is that they had perfectly formed teeth without any signs of decay. It is refreshing to hear you highlight this same point and also add the wisdom of proper breathing.

I am 31 and have been practicing proper tongue posture for about six months. It has made a difference in my jaw and my teeth were sore initially just as when I had braces. In my experience it is still beneficial for adults to make this correction and may even produce results in your facial structure. I always felt like my tongue was in the way and almost like I was being suffocated by it. Ive had surgeries on my nose to help my breathing but it wasnt a permanent solution. If you can commit to the awareness and pain of shifting into proper tongue posture it is completely worth the freedom of truly breathing.

I was a mouth breather as a youth because of constant allergies. When Afrin came to be, I closed my mouth and I truly believe it contributed to straightening my teeth, and fit together better, while my siblings all had braces. As a teen I ran distances, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth, giving me total control over each breath and made it easier to establish a pace.

People often tell me ''You have a beautiful voice,'' and ''Your dogs are happy when you sing.'' That is dating back to 2012 when they both entered mine and my son's life. So, then, i arrive back home and one of my new fave Buddhist songs.. in further mentioned here and i am now, really humm'n. Thank you for the 'science behind' so much of what i innately felt to be true .
