Patrick McKeown – How you breathe at rest and during exercise affects your overall performance when scaling a business ScaleX™ Insider Podcast

- Entrepreneurship
In today’s episode I’m speaking with Patrick McKeown.
Patrick is a world-renowned author and breathing practitioner.
In a career spanning 20 years and having trained 1000’s of people around the world Patrick has become a best-selling author and expert on the topic of optimal breathing for improved health, well-being and performance.
Among his many books, two have consistently remained in the top ten best sellers on Amazon.com: ‘Close Your Mouth’ and ‘Asthma Free Naturally’.
One of his more recent books ‘The Oxygen Advantage®’ is based on 4 years of scientific research and tailors breathing exercises for anyone seeking to improve their performance inside and out of the office. We also delve into his most recent book Atomic Focus, a wonderfully well written and accessible book for anyone curious about breathing practices for performance.
Following last week's episode with Dr Alan Watkins where we touched on the importance of rhythmic breathing, I’m really excited to share this conversation with you because today we go much deeper on the topic and Patrick’s message is simple: how you breathe will affect your overall performance.
Key points we discuss:
Patrick’s own discovery of finding purpose that suited his character and abilities How your ability to concentrate and focus as well as your everyday energy is directly related to how well you sleep and breathe The effects of breathing patterns on heart rate variability and decision-making How if we can control our breathing, we can control our mind and comfortably deal with stress How we can sabotage ourselves with our own thoughts Tips on every day breathing covering the various types including ‘invincible breathing’ Key Takeaway
“You don’t have control of your mind if you don’t have control of your breathing”.
