What if mental clarity, emotional regulation, and better sleep weren’t about adding another practice—but undoing a hidden one?
In this conversation, Patrick McKeown reveals how chronic over-breathing quietly drives anxiety, rumination, poor sleep, and brain fog. Drawing from decades of research and lived experience, he explains why breathing less (not more) can improve oxygen delivery, blood flow to the brain, and nervous system balance.
This episode challenges modern breathwork myths and offers practical, science-backed ways to retrain your breathing for everyday life.
