"In the general population, [dysfunctional breathing] is about 25 to 30%. In people with lower back pain, it's 50 percent. In people with anxiety and panic disorders, it's as high as 75%...” –Patrick McKeown

Do you experience anxiety, depression, migraines, congestion and snoring? The secret to conquering these symptoms may lie in fixing the way you breathe. 

Patrick McKeown, an international expert in health and performance breathwork, originally created The Oxygen Advantage®, a breathing method now taught by instructors around the globe. 

His groundbreaking book of the same name has significantly influenced both wellness communities and elite athletes. 

He’s gone on to create Invincible Breathing, a method for mind, body and sport, and publish three other books: Breathing for Yoga (with a foreword by James Nestor), Atomic Focus, and The Breathing Cure.

In this episode, Patrick reveals how something as seemingly simple as breathing impacts everything from anxiety and depression to physical performance and life expectancy. He explains how to identify and correct faulty breathing patterns, and offers insights that improve mental and physical health.
