Why breathing properly is essential for our health and happiness - James Nestor #283
27/07/2020 Duration: 38minFresh from his hit appearance on Joe Rogan Experience, James Nestor joins me to talk breathing. Investigative writer James Nestor has written a scientific adventure into the lost art and science of breathing 90 per cent of us – very likely you, me and almost everyone you know – are breathing incorrectly - whoah - and this failure is either potentially causing or aggravating a laundry list of chronic illnesses. So we’ll look into that, and then some things that help; We should shut our mouth when breathing and why mouth-breathing is terrible We should exhale for longer We should avoid overly soft food (going against the diet advice of eating what our great grandmothers ate!) We should all engage in nose singing! We should do a spot of Mouth taping! And even, how to stop going to the loo in the middle of the night.

Could smaller desserts help immunity? Dr. Matt Cook #275

First a disclaimer… please don’t start any new regime without consulting your medical practitioner.
