In this episode of The DOC Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Roger Price, a world-renowned expert in airway and breathing. Our discussion dives deep into the importance of correct breathing, both at rest and during exertion, and the consequences of improper breathing. 

Topics include the essential role of nasal breathing, the balance of oxygen and CO2, thoughts on various breathing methods, and the intersection of epigenetics with breathing and malocclusion. Dr. Price also critiques Western medicine’s reactive approach and advocates for proactive healthcare and early intervention. 

We explore innovative solutions like a new app to monitor breathing patterns and the IIOPE charity aimed at educating parents and teachers about early signs of breathing dysfunction. Tune in to learn how improving your breathing can lead to a happier, healthier, and more prosperous life!
