This week, I sit for a second time with breathwork pioneer and functional breathing expert Patrick McKeown. In our previous conversation, Patrick showed us how to use our breath to improve our health and boost our athletic performance. Today, he shares some breathing techniques to help us strengthen our focus and increase our attention span.

In this episode, we talk about Patrick’s new book Atomic Focus and discuss his personal transformation from a dysfunctional mouth breather to a seasoned practitioner of slow, low nasal breathing. Patrick explains how poor breathing patterns contribute to our anxiety and insomnia, and he demonstrates how we can use our breath to change our physiology, calm our minds, and tap into a focused, high-performance flow state.
