Breathing Expert: This Mistake is Wrecking Your Sleep, Performance, and Decision-Making

November 9, 2026 · 52 min

Show notes

We breathe 25,000 times a day without thinking about it... and that's exactly the problem. Breathwork coach and author Rory Warnock joins Mark to break down what conscious breathing actually does to your nervous system, your sleep, your performance, and your decision-making. This isn't meditation fluff. It's practical, science-backed techniques you can use tonight. From nasal breathing and the Bohr effect to why elite AFL players tape their mouths, this episode will change how you think about the one thing you do every second of your life.
