On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I had the honor of sitting down with someone that is considered the top breath expert in the world, Patrick McKeown. During our conversation, Patrick filled me in on the many amazing -- and, sadly, forgotten -- benefits of nasal breathing, how to properly breath, the negative impacts of mouth breathing, why carbon dioxide is actually beneficial and necessary to our physiology and so much more!

  Patrick McKeown was a chronic asthmatic for most of his life. When he applied the buteyko breathing method, he freed himself from his asthma condition. As a qualified Buteyko practitioner, he is now just one of a few Western experts accredited and authorised by Prof Konstantin Buteyko to teach this method. His three clinics – Asthma Care – are in Dublin, Galway, and Cork. 
International best-selling author of The Oxygen Advantage and creator and master instructor of the Oxygen Advantage technique, Patrick McKeown is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading breathing re-education experts.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or an Olympic athlete, Patrick’s methods provide a fast, simple, scientific and certain way to revolutionize your sports performance and improve your daily wellbeing and health.
Over the past two decades, Patrick has trained thousands of people around the world to safely challenge their bodies and produce positive changes through breathing re-education. He teaches a new way to breathe, combined with specific exercises designed to improve blood chemistry. The result is an increase of oxygen flow to all the body’s systems, meaning greater endurance, strength and power. 
Patrick has also released two books this year: Atomic Focus and The Breathing Cure. - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Patrick discuss the following:

• His history with breathing and how he became an expert in the area
