This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, we're taking a literal "breath of fresh air"! I sit down with breathing expert Patrick McKeown, who explains how something as simple as changing the way you breathe can completely transform your health. Patrick dives into the Buteyko Method, a powerful technique that targets conditions like asthma, sleep apnea, and anxiety by focusing on nasal breathing and reducing over-breathing. He also reveals why mouth breathing is the sneaky culprit behind many common health problems—and how you can start breathing better today for a calmer, more energized life. Trust me, you'll never think about breathing the same way again! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• What is the Buteyko Method?
• Why nasal breathing is life-changing
• How mouth breathing hurts kids' development
• How sleep apnea isn't just an airway problem
• Why "take a deep breath" isn't the best advice for anxiety
