"Unlock Your Best Self with The Oxygen Advantage: Simple, Science-Backed Breathing Techniques to Improve Your Health, Slim Down, and Increase Speed and Fitness"

casey k: This is a good book, has easy to follow information regarding how to train your breathing for a variety of exercises, but also how to breathe every day. Many of us are not breathing correctly. I was pleasantly surprised that my BOLT score was higher than I thought it would be, and the included exercises helped me to improve on that as well. I recommend this book if you are in Breathwork Facilitator training, training for any high altitude sport or adventure, or if you simply want to increase the productivity of your breath.

Dancing Rose: Very interesting, I had to read it every day and review info, concepts and techniques . Expansive explanation of the breathing process, your energies and results of such breathing exercises.
I found myself explaining the "breath right" protocol in one of my dreams; this us how much involved in this book. Lovely.

jb4u: I’ve had asthma since age two and being very health oriented, have tried EVERYTHING to manage/cure my chronic condition for years. I’ve tried every supplement, tincture, pharmaceutical, long term allergy shots, you name it to no avail. I approached it by eliminating triggers like rag weed, pet dander etc, diet, and trying to get to the root of it by approaching it as an inflammatory situation. Nothing worked, it’s been decades of suffering and no help from docs. From reading this amazing , comprehensive book, I learned my approaches have all been short sighted and would never work long term because they didn’t get to the root of the problem. Remedies we’re temporary fixed. Asthmatics hyperventilate/overbreathe, they breath enough for 4-6 people , counterintuitive for those of us with constricted airwaves who believe we’re not getting enough oxygen . We have low CO2, which allows oxygen to come unbound from platelets so that we can oxygenate properly. When we overbreathe, the body in its need to hold on to CO2 from being over expelled, tightens airways and forms mucus. This book , through teaching a new way of breathing, resets the CO2 set point so the respiration...

JC: Actually reading it. The “book” that I was looking for! Excellent content, information, details and exercises. Sometimes I have the feeling that it’s repeating subject …again and again… by way of sentences with identical meaning…maybe it is only me. Helpfull for a lot of people. Health issues that is not covered by your Doctor because…you are not bleeding or have a broken bone sticking out!!!

Mike A.: There was a fair amount of apparent research on nasal breathing, but no scientific technical data presented, e.g. blood test results, etc. to indicate what results can be expected. I did enjoy reading this book

Pascal R. Müller: The following text was part of an e-mail sent to the author of the book in which I shared my experiences with him.

I just wanted to share my experience with the breathing techniques with you and my thoughts about the innovative insights for people like me who don’t yet have any specific health problems. And I’m looking forward to stay healthy with all the great information out there, including your knowledge and your shared experiences with thousands of people, working with them and changing their lives to the better.

For me the formula „Breathe Light to Breathe Right“ helped to get more focused in everyday live. I can concentrate better while working on my tasks on the computer. But more important, I first just had to stop breathing through my mouth while working on the computer. I would never have thought it myself that my mouth breathing while working impeded my concentration, my productivity and probably finally my career (or at least my wellbeing). I’m so glad that I discovered your book (thanks to Amazon recommendations).

Now to my insights with breathing reduction and my heart rate variability, which captured my attention 3 years ago and began...

no124c41: I remember that when I was a little kid it was fun to see how long I could hold my breath. Fast-forward to today, and holding my breath for a fraction of the time I did as a child is not fun- in fact it feels like a desperate “brush with death”! The main premise of this book is that we become adapted to over-breathing with significant diminishment of our health and well-being. For the specifics of how and why we have adapted to over-breathing, please refer to the book if you find this review interesting. I believe this premise that we have adapted to over-breathing is true and self-authenticating , from reading and working with the book. This book is truly transformative and deserves to be widely known.
There are three components to the Oxygen Advantage program which addresses this over-breathing. They are explained clearly and supported with anecdotal and scientific studies, and tips and exercises are given to develop them. I appreciate the scientific explanation (which is not tedious), because it provides real support and conviction for engaging the process.
The three components could be summarized as:
1) Breathe through the nose while awake (including when...
