Dr. Drew (David Drew Pinsky) is a doctor of internal medicine and addiction specialist who became globally recognized through his appearances on Loveline, Celebrity Rehab, Ellen, Oprah, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and much more.  I was fascinated to hear Dr. Drew's expansive knowledge about history and philosophy, and how he applies it to lead a more fulfilling life. We also dug into human attraction and why we're attracted to certain types of people, attachment theory, how he makes time for self-care and growth, why social contracts like marriage are important, and much more.

James Nestor is an author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, and journalist for Scientific American, The New York Times, National Public Radio, and more. His freediving experience with some of the best breath holders led him to an exploratory journey to learn about the lost art of breath. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo.    Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. I hope this conversation was as fascinating for you as it was for me.    Book: https://amzn.to/3iwGzeH    Timestamp:  [00:00] Intro  [03:45] How James got into researching the lost art of breath  [08:20] Can we train ourselves to increase lung capacity?  [15:00] Why some of us are OVERbreathing  [24:15] How to stop snoring  [35:00] Why nose breathing produces 6x more Nitric Oxide  [37:55] How the human skull (and mouths) have evolved as human species  [48:00] Strategies and tips to breathe effectively and increase our lung capacity    If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes and a rating on our Spotify show? It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really makes a difference in helping to convince hard-to-get guests.
