What's You Learn?
How we breathe determines health more than diet or exercise – Breath by James Nestor uncovers forgotten science of optimal breathing.

This comprehensive breathing science summary and key takeaways reveal:

  • Nose Breathing - Filters, warms, and slows air for 20% more oxygen absorption
  • Slow Breathing - 5.5 breaths per minute optimizes heart rate variability and longevity
  • Chewing Hard Foods - Modern soft diets shrink airways causing sleep and breathing disorders
  • Carbon Dioxide Tolerance - CO2 drives oxygen release; we overbreathe to our detriment


What most summaries miss: Nestor's "Perfect Breath" formula: inhale 5.5 seconds, exhale 5.5 seconds.

Your Click.Apply.Grow™ system: Tape mouth while sleeping tonight. Practice coherent breathing. Chew more. Proper breathers show 50% less stress markers and better athletic performance.

Shut your mouth. Save your life.

About the Author

James Nestor is the journalist who discovered modern humans forgot how to breathe, transforming health through ancient breathing techniques.

San Francisco-based journalist whose decade-long breathing investigation produced Breath, selling 2+ million copies and topping bestseller lists globally. His Stanford experiment proved mouth breathing damages health within days. Writing appeared in Scientific American, New York Times, and Outside Magazine. Previous book Deep explored freediving's extreme physiology. Taught breathing techniques to Google, UN, and medical schools. TED Talk exceeded 5 million views.

What sets Nestor apart: He suffered every breathing experiment personally, from mouth-taping to holotropic breathwork, validating through experience.

Practitioners of Nestor's breathing techniques report 50% improvement in sleep quality and athletic performance.

The investigator who proved the best medicine requires no prescription—just different breathing.
