Are You Breathing Too Much?

Most people assume that breathing more means getting more oxygen.

More air. More effort. More benefit.


But what if the opposite is true?


This episode explores why frequent breathing can actually be inefficient for the body, how it affects oxygen utilization and the nervous system, and what can be done to restore a more functional breathing pattern. The discussion is based on the One-Minute Breathing Test and explains why learning to breathe less — through efficiency, not force — matters for overall health.


This topic is drawn from Longevity Through Physical Activity: The 15-Minute Habit by Alexandra Kash, Certified Personal Trainer and Behavior Change Specialist — a book focused on practical, science-based strategies to improve how the body functions, adapts, and ages. Breathing is one of many interconnected elements explored in the book, alongside movement, posture, strength, and long-term resilience.


Longevity Through Physical Activity: The 15-Minute Habit is available on Amazon.
