Patrick McKeown | Simple Techniques to Retrain Your Breathing #89

Patrick McKeown joins Miesha Tate for a real conversation on breathwork, performance, and why most people are breathing wrong without realizing it. Drawing from over two decades of experience, he breaks down common misconceptions around breathing, explains the role of carbon dioxide and nasal breathing, and shows how simple changes can improve stress, sleep, and overall performance. The conversation also explores how athletes can train their breathing to build endurance, increase CO2 tolerance, and stay calm under pressure—whether in competition or everyday life.Connect with Miesha TateIG: https://www.instagram.com/mieshatate/X: https://x.com/mieshatateFB: https://www.facebook.com/mieshatatefanpage/Website: https://mieshatate.com/Connect with Built for Growth PodcastIG: https://www.instagram.com/builtforgrowthpodcast/FB: https://www.facebook.com/people/Built-For-Growth-Podcast/61567354560939/Connect with Patrick McKeownWebsite: https://oxygenadvantage.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oxygenadvantage/Chapter Markers:00:00 – Common Breathing Myths & Misconceptions08:30 – Why “Deep Breathing” Is Misunderstood18:00 – Controlling Stress Through the Exhale30:00 – CO2, Oxygen & How Breathing Actually Works42:00 – Nasal vs Mouth Breathing (Why It Matters)54:00 – Sleep, Recovery & Nervous System Balance01:08:00 – Training Breath for Fighters & Performance#BuiltForGrowthPodcast #MieshaTate #PatrickMcKeown #Breathwork #Performance #NasalBreathing #StressManagement #MentalPerformance #Recovery #Sleep #Athletes #UFC #Mindset #HealthOptimization #Longevity
