This week I was joined by Oxygen Advantage master instructor Rose O'Donovon.

Rose teaches people how to utilise breathing as a tool to improve their health and improve their fitness.
Having used and benefited from the practice herself with her own health issues, Rose has put the time and effort into learning the method founded by Patrick Mckeown, and is now sharing her knowledge with anybody willing to put the work in, to improve their health and their performance. 

Rose covers a lot of the science behind the method, as well as sharing ways you can begin to implement the practices into your daily life and your training. Rose explains the very tangible correlation between sleep, breathing, and emotion, and just how important breathing is for getting good quality sleep.

The principles covered with The Oxygen Advantage are based on nasal breathing, and getting people to breathe properly to prevent over-breathing, a common cause for many physical and mental illnesses.

We also discussed several more topics on the subject of breathing including, improving naturally occurring EPO, when and when not surgery is the answer to breathing difficulties, hormone control, erectile dysfunction, alcohol consumption, processed foods, and a bunch more that'll definitely have you paying more attention to how you breathe.

There is a sleepiness assessment you can perform by answering the following questionnaire, If you score 12 or more you should seek medical help. 

Thank you very much for sharing Rose! Enjoy the episode and have a great weekend!
