123. How to breathe for your best sleep Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

The quality of your breathing directly impacts your quality of sleep. You take about 23,000 breaths per day and most of them are unconscious.

In this episode, I interviewed Sachin Patel to talk about how to improve the quality of your breathing, and therefore the quality of your sleep.

Sachin Patel is a father, husband, philanthropist, functional medicine practice success coach, international speaker, and best-selling author. His philosophy is that “The doctor of the future is the patient” and he is actively doing whatever it takes to keep people out of the medical system by empowering them through education, self-care, and remapping their mindset.

We have the same mission, the same certification, and he’s someone I greatly admire and look up to in the functional medicine and wellness business coaching space. Sachin is genuine and deeply cares about people. I’m so grateful to have interviewed him.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Interesting facts about breathing
Why ‘how we breathe’ is so important
Why Sachin Patel started doing this work
The connection between breathing and the nervous system
How to breathe so you can sleep and optimize your health
The cause of peeing in night and how mouth taping can help
