A simple yet revolutionary approach to improving your body’s oxygen use, increasing your health, weight loss, and sports performance—whether you’re a recovering couch potato or an Ironman triathlon champion. With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Dr. Joseph Mercola.Achieve more with less effort: The secret to weight loss, fitness, and wellness lies in the most basic and most overlooked function of your body—how you breathe. One of the biggest obstacles to better health and fitness is a rarely identified problem: chronic over-breathing. We often take many more breaths than we need—without realizing it—contributing to poor health and fitness, including a host of disorders, from anxiety and asthma to insomnia and heart problems.In The Oxygen Advantage, the man who has trained over 5,000 people—including Olympic and professional athletes—in reduced breathing exercises now shares his scientifically validated techniques to help you breathe more efficiently. Patrick McKeown teaches you the fundamental relationship between oxygen and the body, then gets you started with a Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) to determine how efficiently your body uses oxygen. He then shows you how to increase your BOLT score by using light breathing exercises and learning how to simulate high altitude training, a technique used by Navy SEALs and professional athletes to help increase endurance, weight loss, and vital red blood cells to dramatically improve cardio-fitness.Following his program, even the most out-of-shape person (including those with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma) can climb stairs, run for a bus, or play soccer without gasping for air, and everyone can achieve: Easy weight loss and weight maintenance Improved sleep and energy Increased concentration Reduced breathlessness during exercise Heightened athletic performance Improved cardiovascular health Elimination of asthmatic symptoms, and more.With The Oxygen Advantage, you can look better, feel better, and do more—it’s as easy as breathing.

Good system
It's a good system and works. Full credits to Buteyko. The author's writing is clear and lucid. The book should have been less than 120 pages but was painfully dragged to over 350 pages. It is unfortunate that some publishers still believe in marketing "400+ pages crammed with useless fluff" simply to justify elevated price. They should first understand that readers are more than willing to pay big money for quality content and not content quantity. Two stars less for unwarranted fluff that took away the joy of reading.

Very useful concept
Only after reading the book that I realized the significance of nasal breathing over mouth breathing. This improves a lot of the well being of my body.

Simple and effective breathing techniques for everyday life - Observations with Heart Rate Variability
The following text was part of an e-mail sent to the author of the book in which I shared my experiences with him. I just wanted to share my experience with the breathing techniques with you and my thoughts about the innovative insights for people like me who don’t yet have any specific health problems. And I’m looking forward to stay healthy with all the great information out there, including your knowledge and your shared experiences with thousands of people, working with them and changing their lives to the better. For me the formula „Breathe Light to Breathe Right“ helped to get more focused in everyday live. I can concentrate better while working on my tasks on the computer. But more important, I first just had to stop breathing through my mouth while working on the computer. I would never have thought it myself that my mouth breathing while working impeded my concentration, my productivity and probably finally my career (or at least my wellbeing). I’m so glad that I discovered your book (thanks to Amazon recommendations). Now to my insights with breathing reduction and my heart rate variability, which captured my attention 3 years ago and began to really change the view of my health and my autonomy in this area of my life. With the HRV analysis using the Autonom Health tool and using the Elite HRV App on my iPhone, I found out that the best way for me to heighten my heart rate variability is to do the exercise „Breathe Light to Breathe Right“. Compared to a guided breathing session (with Elite HRV) my HRV is even better doing reduced breathing (contrary to the notion that coherent breathing with 3–6 breaths per minute is the best way to train your nervous system and heighten the HRV). It gets higher when my SpO2 drops to 93% and lower. Maybe it is a stress response and the effect is not the same in the long run as with the coherent breathing technique without breathing reduction? I’ve also been practicing the exercise „High Altitude Training“ since last Sommer and changed my BOLT Score from under 20 seconds to 30 until 40 seconds or more (additionally I keep this Score using a tape on my mouth while sleeping, as recommended by you). According to my HRV analysis with Autonom Heath, my health and my fitness is really good (unfortunately I just began to measure this seriously some weeks ago and not already last summer before I began to implement your exercises). However, I had some problems to heighten my BOLT Score sustainably and it dropped under 30 after having stopped the regular exercise of breathing light to breathe right (just keeping the mouth breathing day and night and High Altitude Simulation while walking at least 3–4 times per week). At the moment I do the exercise every morning and evening for 15 minutes and heightened the score to 40 seconds again, which corresponds with my feeling of being able to stay focused longer in my working day and to get things done better and with more energy and enthusiasm.

Amazing book! ( would give it 6 stars and more even )
This book can be a life-changer if applied in real life. It is written very clear in a quite humoristic style sometimes, which makes it a very 'down to earth' scientific book and very easy to read. You get lot of great scientific background information, case studies and exercises. It should be on everybody's book shelf. And after reading, you can easily apply it in your daily lives, whether you' re at work, playing with the kids, running, cycling, watching TV, and even sleeping!
