James Nestor is a journalist and bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, a book exploring the science, history and culture of human breathing.

In this episode, we explore a deceptively simple question: does the way we breathe matter for our health? James takes us through what he learned while researching the science of breathing, including the differences between nasal and mouth breathing, breathing during sleep and exercise, and the ways in which breathing patterns may interact with our physiology.

We discuss:

Nasal versus mouth breathing

Breathing and sleep

The relationship between breathing patterns and health

James's experience experimenting with different forms of breathing

What research suggests about breathing practicesBreathing during exercise

The history and science of breathing techniques

James is a journalist rather than a medical practitioner, and this conversation explores both his interpretation of the research and his personal experiences. Some claims surrounding breathing practices remain scientifically debated and should be considered within the wider evidence base.
