If you struggle to sleep, you know that a restless night can mean increased anxiety, lack of focus, and decreased memory. Patrick McKeown’s advice for better sleep and less anxiety? Functional breathing.
Patrick first started experimenting with breathwork while at university. He was suffering from an inability to sleep which resulted in high anxiety, increased stress, and failure to focus. Patrick found the solution to a good night’s sleep in functional breathing. He has since dedicated his life to studying breathing and sleep disorders.
Join Suzanne and Patrick as they talk about how breathing impacts your health and life, why nose breathing is the foundation of healthy breathing patterns, how to reduce the risk of sleep disorders, how to stimulate the vagus nerve, and more.
Topics Include:
Patrick McKeown's backstory. Understanding the fundamentals of breathing. Proper breathing technique. Simple tricks to fix snoring. The proper way to take a deep breath. Signs of dysfunctional breathing in infants and adults. A simple test to identify dysfunctional breathing. Breathing exercises for COVID and anxiety patients. How to decongest your nose in five minutes. And other topics...
Patrick McKeown is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. In 2002, Patrick completed his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko.
Having suffered from asthma, rhinitis, and sleep-disordered breathing for over 20 years, Patrick offers both theoretical knowledge and his own experiences to help clients to overcome similar challenges.
To date, Patrick has written seven books and produced four DVD sets about the Buteyko Method, including three Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk category bestsellers: Close Your Mouth, Asthma-Free Naturally, and Anxiety Free: Stop Worrying and Quieten your Mind. His latest book, titled "The Oxygen Advantage", enhances sports performance by improving functional breathing patterns and applying unique breath hold exercises to simulate altitude training at sea level.
