Well, hello friends and welcome to another episode of the way I heard it, specifically number 340.

More specifically, the episode entitled My Happy Place is the Operating Room.

Another terrific quote from another terrific guest to whom I am pleased to introduce you. His name is

Dr. Rahul Seth. He's become a friend of mine and he is my doctor. Well, one of my doctors.

Well, actually at the moment, he's my only doctor. He's the guy that performed the procedure on me

three years ago that allowed me to do something I hadn't been

able to do for most of my life, namely to breathe through my nose. Friends of the podcast will

be familiar with the odyssey that was my septoplasty. And I thought I'd put a bow on it and

complete this ad hoc public service announcement that my experience

has become because so many of you, like thousands of people on social media, have reached out

to ask if the procedure is worth it, to talk to me about their own mouth breathing, to complain and commiserate about

living with breathe rights, eight hours a day on your face. It's not for me to say if this

procedure is right for you, but I can't tell you that if you're a mouth breather, your world

will change. If you find the right doctor, if you find the right doctor, if you get the right

procedure, if you take the right steps to be able to breathe through your nose. So I figured I'd

talk to the doctor for about 20 minutes, you know, just get his take and maybe share some

his information with you around this procedure. But our conversation got a little more in depth than that.

We talked for about an hour, me and Dr. Seth, and I think it's super interesting because this is a

43-year-old, very accomplished surgeon who's performed over a thousand of these procedures,

who's married to another surgeon,

a woman who's an ophthalmologist.

He's got the ears, nose, and throat, and she's got the eyes.
