The Anatomy of Functional Breathing | Patrick McKeown & Tom Myers
<p>Discover how modern life is radically reshaping the way we breathe. In this in‑depth conversation, Patrick McKeown (Oxygen Advantage) and Tom Myers (Anatomy Trains) explore the hidden links between our environment, posture, jaws, emotions, and breathing patterns. You’ll learn: - Why we’ve “made a zoo and now live in it” – and how tech, sitting, and urban living drive anxiety and dysfunctional breathing - How our genes, lifestyle, and domestication have literally narrowed our faces, jaws, and airways - The crucial difference between nasal vs mouth breathing for sleep, concentration, child development, and long‑term health - What the diaphragm really does (beyond the usual “belly breathing” story) and how tensegrity explains rib cage mechanics - Why so many children mouth breathe, snore, and struggle with attention – and what can be done to help them early - Practical, anatomy‑based insights into opening the nose, improving airway function, and restoring more natural breathing patterns If you’re interested in breathing, sleep, posture, airway health, fascia, or human performance, this episode offers a rare blend of deep anatomy and practical breathing wisdom.

Addiction, Prison & Recovery — The Power of Breath | John O’Hegarty
<p>What happens when an overactive mind, guilt, and addiction take over completely?</p><p></p><p>In this episode, Patrick McKeown speaks with John O’Hegarty about a life that moved from philosophy and curiosity… into addiction, bank robberies, prison — and eventually recovery through breath, movement, and meaning.</p><p></p><p>John shares, in a very real and unfiltered way, how addiction changed his thinking, how rationality disappeared, and how actions that once felt unthinkable became normal. He talks about the mindset behind it — not to justify it, but to help people understand what actually happens when someone is deep in that state.</p><p></p><p>They also explore what came after: how he rebuilt his life inside prison how meaning, structure, and movement became anchors and how breathing became a tool to create space from the mind</p><p></p><p>This is not just a story about addiction. It’s a conversation about the human mind, the need to escape it, and how we can learn to regulate it.</p><p></p><p>In this episode:</p><p>how addiction overrides rational thinking the “suspension of the voluntary mind”</p><p>prison, structure, and rebuilding from the inside</p><p>Viktor Frankl and the role of meaning</p><p>breathing and its effect on mental state</p><p>cold exposure and learning to tolerate discomfort</p><p>why so many people today struggle with overthinking</p><p></p><p>John now brings both lived experience and professional training to his work, supporting others through breathwork, movement, and recovery-focused practice.</p><p></p><p>📍 Connect with John O’Hegarty <a href="https://oxygenadvantage.com/pages/instructor/john_o_hegarty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://oxygenadvantage.com/pages/instructor/john_o_hegarty</a></p><p></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:00 – Childhood & early curiosity</p><p>06:00 – Philosophy & Viktor Frankl</p><p>12:00 – The accident & start of addiction</p><p>16:00 – Bank robberies & mindset</p><p>21:00 – Prison & rebuilding</p><p>30:00 – Injury & discovering breathwork</p><p>36:00 – “The breath is the mind made visible”</p><p>43:00 – Cold exposure & presence</p><p>50:00 – Addiction & modern overstimulation</p><p>56:00 – Working with others today</p><p></p><p>Listener note: This episode includes discussion of addiction, trauma, criminal behaviour, incarceration, and mental health.
