Show Notes

Most of us never think about how we breathe but science shows it may be one of the most overlooked drivers of health and disease.
Dr. Roger McFillin talks with Dr. Amy Lichon, a double-board-certified physician who left a successful hospital career to teach people how to heal through their breath. They explore why mouth breathing fuels anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue, how carbon dioxide and nasal breathing affect the nervous system, and why a century-old method called Buteyko could transform sleep, focus, and even athletic performance.
You’ll learn practical tools from a simple “control pause” test to techniques for decongesting the nose and calming the nervous system that anyone can start today. If you’ve tried everything for stress, sleep, or focus and nothing sticks, this conversation may reveal the missing piece.
