Episode 19: Oh, NO! Nose Breathing and Nitric Oxide

In this episode,Sarah discusses nose breathing, mouth breathing, taping your mouth shut (only at night), and best practices for breathing while exercising, sleeping, and every time in between

• What’s the difference impact on our physiology between nose breathing and mouth breathing – and why it might be really important to try and nose breathe
• Are we breathing too shallowly either way
• How do you train yourself to nose breathe
• What is the impact of nitric oxide on our bodies
• Why it might not be as simple as “get rid of as much CO2 as you can when you exhale” but we don’t have a clear answer for that yet
• AND a very special breathing practice we can do together at the end of the episode
