Breathing is something we all do automatically, so it’s easy to assume we’re doing it well. But what if one of the simplest ways to improve your sleep, energy levels and stress wasn’t a gadget, a retreat, or a prescription. 

Today’s Bitesize is from episode 644 of the podcast with science journalist and author James Nestor.

In this clip, James explains why the way we breathe may be affecting our stress levels, energy and sleep, and some simple changes that could make a real difference.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about this conversation is how simple and accessible everything we discuss is. The foundations of healthy breathing don’t cost a thing. You just need to unlearn some key habits and start making small changes – for big results.
