Imagine there was a miracle cure that could help you feel less stressed, lose weight, sleep better, run farther without losing your breath, and live longer. According to breathing coach Patrick McKeown, not only does this cure exist, but it’s also free to anyone with a set of lungs—it’s practicing proper breathing. He says modern living conditions cause the average person to breathe too much, but by training yourself to breathe less, you can greatly improve your physical fitness and overall health.

In this guide, we’ll explain why excessive breathing results in less oxygen getting to your body, and you’ll learn specific exercises for training yourself to breathe less. We’ll supplement McKeown’s advice with other tips that may help you get more out of his Oxygen Advantage program. Additionally, we’ll compare McKeown’s breathing techniques to other popular breathing exercises from experts like Wim Hof and Andrew Huberman.
