Thank you everyone for joining me here this week on our conversations with Cabral, where I speak with our special

guest James Nester. James wrote a book called Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art, and believe it or not, I actually remember reading

James work many, many years ago when he wrote for one of my favorite outdoor magazines, outside magazine.

And he also has previous work from when he studied

free divers and people that could professionally

hold their breath for minutes at a time, some even close to 10 minutes, and really began to explore the properties as to how someone would be able to dive hundreds of feet under the water with just a single

breath. We go deep in our conversations today. It was a really it was a fun fun time

it really was because James knows this subject inside and out and I'm always trying to relate how people's underlying root cause imbalances can actually be affected by some outside sources and so what we actually

spoke about was breathing-based patterns sleep posture how the adenoids and

tonsils can actually affect the shape of our face, how they can affect how the teeth come in.

We speak about processed food and its repercussions on facial shape as well, dating back to some of Weston's price's work.

We even get into the Tuma monks who are able to heat up their body temperatures

for an external reading of about 17 degrees and melt the snow around them.

Pretty amazing. We also chat about the seemingly immortal later Japanese women who dive all the way into their 80s and they're able to hold their breath

for three or four minutes at a time and go down a hundred feet or so just to catch fish and sea life to be able to provide for themselves. So a really fascinating

conversation, I know that you'll enjoy it. One last disclaimer, I do have to add, is that we speak

about so many benefits of certain styles of breathing and I would say

parasympathetic nervous system work that I have to add that standard

disclaimer that we are not providing medical-based advice we are not providing

diagnosis treatment protocols, or cures, of course, seek out

your licensed medical doctor for all of those things. What we do is we look at the underlying

root causes that may be holding you back
