How we really should breathe with James Nestor

On average we breathe 25,000 times a day, and yet many of us are
doing it completely wrong according to author and journalist,
James Nestor.


“The majority of the human population have respiratory
problems, chronic sinusitis, sleep apnea, snoring, asthma… we
have completely lost touch with our basic bodily function. We can
still live by breathing poorly but that doesn’t mean that we are
going to be healthy.”


James has spent the last several years researching and writing
the best seller Breath, a novel which explores
the million-year-long history of how the human species has lost
the ability to breathe properly resulting in so many maladies. He
traveled the world in an attempt to figure out what went wrong
and how to fix it, turning the conventional wisdom of what we
thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its
head.


Needless to say ever since we recorded this episode we have been
consciously breathing! Drawing awareness to how our breath
changes from when we walk/run to when we sit to when we are on
our laptops. We have been amazed with what we have found
out. 


A fascinating conversation that will transform the way you
breathe!


Lots of Love,


Dave & Steve
