everything is right, but Dr. Buteyko, a russian Scientist, who told this things 50 years ago, should be mentioned. I'm a german physiotherapist.

Just tried it and it works. Amazing.

i like how you spell Oxygen

Such an excellent summary! There's a lack of good summaries and guidance in practice in the Buteyko world. Read the book they say, but that takes time! people want quick fixes. But of course just breathing from the diaphragm and through the nose is a perfect start for most. But to achieve a higher control pause, (CP) you have to make quite a few changes, daily practice of course, but also dietary corrections guided by CP testing after a meal, sleeping inclined, and loads of different stuff! And also: just slowing your breath, or holding it for a while can calm you down!

slow breathing affects the age process as well. Breathing is cyclic.

You MUST read Donna Farhi's "The Breathing Book". So good!

Good vid good chalk board Cliff notes style.

Great summar and thanks for sharing your experience. On the mouth taping, it's not necessary to tape fully across your entire mouth. I use a small piece (less than the size of a stamp placed in the middle of my mouth littly on my upper and lower lip. This light tension will keep your mouth shut during sleep. The concept of fully taping your mouth is too much for most people and will stop them from doing and it's not needed.

My problem is my speaking according to breatthing through my nose. I can do this when i snorkel, i go under water for 4 + minutes when i do not think about breathing.

Thanks for explaining The Oxygen Advantage. I have the book but lack the patience to finish reading it.

It diffently carms you down but im being doing for a day now , it feels like work but my anxeity has droped already. Thanks for sharing

Great Video! Thanks

I kept having running nose while I workout for hours for 2months until its soo easy to breath in the nose making me less tired more effiecient and less calm. thank you

Thanks, this is great. I'm not convinced the OA is actually beneficial to my running, but I do it none the less ;)

awesome explanation thank you

Do you plan to summerize more breathing 101? Thank you for summerizing!

Great overview! I'm new to Buteyko theory but additional components to consider: reduce calorie intake, dramatically increase daily nose breathing cardio, and consider using a hypoxic training mask. Learn how to measure morning control pause to measure progress: first thing in the morning hold your breath in a normal exhaled state. Hold until moderate discomfort, there shouldn't be a big recovery inhale. Take an average over a few days and that is your morning control pause. Under 10 seconds is bad. The bigger the number the better with a goal being 40 seconds. According to the theory, lengthening MCP may likely improve snoring, weight management, allergies, asthma, sleep apnea, blood pressure etc. One of the mechanisms is that higher CO2 dramatically changes body chemistry.

Amazing video !!!! I'm very curious your opinion how this method is different from wim Hoff and which one is better to improve sleep and overall health ? Same time how those 2 methods are different to breathology? Regards Mariusz

7:02 me when my buddy makes a joke😂

I am practicing NASAL BREATHING for a weeks now. I train under MAFFETONE METHOD (low heart rate). I do nose breathing for my entire runs ,45mins to over an hour. Even at work, My mouth is now close all the time. Breathing thru my nose the whole day. I feel better and better especially to my running performance heart efficiency.

Should we try to do breathe holds when we normally breathe or only for the Buteyko exercises? Also for general breathing day to day (not doing the exercises), from the videos I have seen, we need to keep our inhaling and exhaling for as long and slow as we can possible, with it being as shallow/relaxed as we can get it. Have I caught the concept right?

Have you practiced the wim hof method? If yes, how does it compare with oxygen advantage in areas like sport performance, energy level ? Sleep etc...

Question: Does the book address how to breath through your nose if you have chronic nasal congestion? Without Claritin D and Breathe Rite strips, I can barely pull air through my nasal passages because I have such bad nasal congestion due to allergies. I'm basically allergic to everything in the air and years of allergy shots did nothing. Will the methods in this book potentially eliminate nasal congestion so I can breathe through my nose? Or is the Oxygen Advantage only for folks who can already breathe through the nose but just don't?

This goes hand in hand with mewing :)

Nice talk! (Note Oxygen is misspelled on the board.)

Nice job Brian. Not sure if this applies to everyone but when you maybe have one nostril out of action due to some bug or the other try limiting your breathing to the point where you think you really have to breathe and the blockage will clear after a few breathing cycles.

Great video

hey great video one question how do i breath during exercise ?

Great explanation Brian (I assume a zillion people mentioned you spelled Oxygen wrong)

Explains why I get dizzy faster when I get to much oxygen

in a carboxl driven respiratory system this is true. Smoke for fouty years or so. otherwise depleted oxygen triggers autonomic system. Test by holding you breath, your brain will over ride and intake oxygen.

A thought before putting tape on mouth to facilitate nasal breathing, rule out any post nasal obstructive condition

I am curious if the tape is gentle on the skin.

No way I would be able to sleep with tape over my mouth lol probably because I have a weak diaphragm.

How does the tape thing work if you have a beard?

I mouth tapped for a while and it raised my blood pressure a lot. I might try again because my nasal passages are much more open from doing a lot of seperate nostral breathing and nose breathing.

I noticed a bunch of people asked about the Wim Hof Method vs. the Buteyko (or O2 Advantage) Method. You might want to check out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9yYi7h-t7-5qo0.html. The presenter is an instructor in both breathing methods.

A web search for Buteyko pseudoscience found 550000 hits. Buteyko breathing was completely useless for me even with daily control pauses of over two minutes.. My chronic asthma was cured with yoga (forward standing bends touching my feet). Daily training is needed.This gave me a strong diaphragm for effective belly breathing.

Try the 4, 7, 8 breathing , Dr Mccoola

Thanks for this info which corroborates my personal experience. Hope it helps others. I am 68 years old and recently started having an increase in blood pressure. Found out about the 847 method which quickly reduces BP but doesn't last long. Learned a lot about about my upper chest breathing and anxiety and quickly changed to diaphragmatic. Things improved, but didn't last. Would take BP frequently as I experimented and couldn't understand why my diastolic (the out breath associated with rest and renew) would frequently be very high when the systolic (fight or flight) might be normal. Realized that I'll have to focus on this for a while to let neural pathways in the brain develop, but was tired of trying so hard. Reduced my breathing to much shorter easy even breaths. Immediately, my BP became amazing and lasts longer and doesn't go as high. BP's now range from 128/84 - 105/68. Previously, when stupid thinking stopped and attention turned to the breath, it always felt like I hadn't been breathing a all. After 2.5 months of this work, my mind recently came out of thoughtless thoughts and my breathing was in perfect simple even breaths. I wanted to cry with joy. Remapping the brains habits is indeed possible, but takes time. Will continue to learn from others, but always pick what's best for me. Love to all. Melanie ps Step away from the politics

Gracias🙏🏾🔥🙏🏾

Brian, are we never supposed to exhale through our mouths? I have bad allergies and my nose is often blocked.

Might make it clearer that ONLY micro tape is to be used. There might be some who will use whatever tape is at hand - very dangerous

Is the 3M tape gluten-free and for sensitive skin?

I tired Wim Hof. He speaks about how hypoventilation or rapid deep breathing saturates they body with oxygen creating alkaline chemical state. But this video is saying that’s wrong because hemoglobins are the only way to release oxygen, yet when I can hold my breath after the Wim Hof breathing technique for over 3 minutes with a full exhale with no air in my lungs.

The only other things I know that work for snoring is mewing (this is keeping your tongur on the palate including the rear third) and keto diet or at least fasting (because this regeneates tissues) or at least a low carb type diet with fasting. Oxygen advantage also has the method for clearing your nose and it teaches you to hold breath longer: 2 normal inhale exhale and hold the exhale until modereate need, aftet inahing breathe normally for 1 minute (and do 5 reps) good breath hold to achieve is 20-40s.

we used to call this shallow breathing. I feel like over breathing is the wrong language. it's more like stress breathing or attempt to catch up breathing. ive seen breathwork from russian systema that violates these rules completely and it works exceptionally well. this is some good informaton but were still a long way from fully understanding all that breath can do.

My goodness almost fell off my chair in deep sleep as i practised 😴

Coming from London real

But the 3M is highly breathable so you can still breathe right through the tape!? Does it still work?

hey brian isint it a small breath through the nose,about a inch of air

I have a question for you, Brother: Would an increase of CO2 affect hemoglobins affinity to oxygen in its way up? meaning wouldn't a resistance to CO2 result in lower ability to absorb O2 in the first place as well? also what would this do to the blood ph, wouldn't an increased resistance to CO2 result in permanent lower ph meaning a more acidic blood ph? would these two be a problem?

Summed up @12:45

If I just breath with my nose during my boxing workouts, it just feels like I’m suffocating and need more oxygen, sure this is ok just breathing but why about athletes?

when we retain the air, we create more CO2 and we alkalize our body?

"The Oxgen Advantage"

Every time I get sick and have to breathe through my mouth I get anxiety ugh

I have had much better results with the Wim Hof Method.

Can you tell me where I can find the scientific proof you claim supports this method. Has it been peer reviewed? Which scientific journal has published the proof?

I think we are suppose to put the tape on our mouth, not on the bridge of are knows, aren't we?

I am sorry to comment this but this not a new technique of Patrick, it is cold stealing from his teacher Dr Buyteko. All the terminology used are the basic fundamentals of the Buteyko method, with new invented names. Basic information is missing that is why it will be difficult reach 40 seconds Control Pause or the new fancy name BOLD ( body oxygen level).

Do any spartan race participants Front squat 405lbs?

Lol you don’t need that much tape. You only need a tiny piece vertically over the middle line of your lips. It works and it won’t freak you out and have you think you’re gonna suffocate.

Patrick MCK-Eeeeeeeowwwwwn

Brian i suspect u cant answer this scince it appears to do directly against your point of view. Why after hard controlled belly diaphragm breathing for 45 mins. Similar to Wim Hof Method. Why can i do 4 more pushups than my normal max of 23? Also if i am deprived of O2 why do i feel so good? Something funny goin on here. Topspinwilly in Vancouver. Oh by the way this breathing couldnt be done through the nose.

Sounds like simple yogic breathing, 6in, 8 out, or alternate nostril breathing, teach you the same things. Not saying this video is bad, not at all, I even want to read the book.

are you saying that we should aim for a count of 6 inhale and 8 exhale,the buteyko is not this,confused

Breathe

Inhale less frequently and all the way into your diaphragm. Thanks Brian!

7:00 breath

👌🏼🤚🏼👌🏼

He forgot the y

Ima so try this but I got a beard so this is gunna be painful ! 🤣

Prefer Wim Hof

🙏🙂

By nose gets irritated when I breathe through it

why is this not taught in 1st grade.

Mcmeeoown

Micropore tape by 3M!

What!

This is exactly what Dr Botayko came up with 60 years ego.

Would Wim Hof agree????

‘The oxgen advantage’

Thank you. But one thing bothered me. During your presentation you were breathing from you mouth ;-)

I’m sorry but this goes against the wimhof method that is a proven method!!

I stopped when I heard him pronounce "McKeown."

I can't believe people need to be taught to breath through their noses. People disappoint me.

Pelado, con todo respeto, pero ¿se puede respirar por la nariz hablando tan rápido como lo haces tu?, pregunto porque en el video se ve que en varios momentos tomas aire por la boca, y eso creo que es porque no tienes pausa al hablar. Pareces cantante de rap. El contenido de lo que has hablado, es bueno, pero creo que debes hacer un poco mas de pausas para que se te entienda mejor, y de paso para que tu mismo puedas respirar como se debe (por la nariz).

I'm calling bullshit on all of this. None of it makes sense and everytime he tries to explain why something is, he gives some random vague and implausible reason and then moves on. It's not like food where our diets have obviously changed. It's breathing. We have been doing it the same way since the beginning of time. I do not think any of what you said is accurate.

U talk about breath, but u are always breathing through ur mouth and out of breath just by talking, maybe u should practise a bit more before teaching others 😆
