Patrick McKeown meets James Nestor, author of Breath The new science of a lost art

James Nestor is the author of a new book on breathing called:

Breath: The new science of a lost art : https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/breath

James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Outside Magazine, Men's Journal, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The New York Times, Scientific American and more.

Nestor’s new book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, will be released through Riverhead/Penguin Random House on May 26, 2020. It explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly over the past several hundred thousand years and is now suffering from a laundry list of maladies — snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease— because of it. Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.

Nestor has appeared on dozens of national radio and television shows ― including ABC’s Nightline, CBS Morning News, and dozens of NPR programs. More at mrjamesnestor.com.
