Art & Science of Breathing is the weekly show that aims to turn every inhale into an insight. Host Patrick Obolgogiani (CEO & co-founder of Alveos) grills neuroscientists, pulmonologists, elite athletes, and breath-work mavericks on the cutting-edge research shaping how we sleep, train, heal, and think. On alternate weeks our in-house AI distils peer-reviewed papers and Alveos blog posts into bite-size audio briefs you can finish before your coffee cools.
From CO₂-tolerance drills to the neuroplastic magic of nasal breathing, we separate myth from measurable. If you’ve ever wondered why your smartwatch says you stopped breathing at 3 a.m.—or how to hack that next 5 K PR, then hit follow, take a deep breath, and let’s get into it.

An Olympic team screened—and the results shocked everyone. Dr. John Dickinson found ~21% with asthma-like issues, ~20% on inhalers without evidence of asthma, and a huge blind spot: breathing pattern disorders. If you’ve ever blown up late in a race, struggled on hills, or “ran out of breath” while your legs felt fine, this episode will change how you train.
🎯 Big takeaways
• Asthma vs. breathing pattern disorder — how to tell the difference
• The efficient breath: lower ribcage starts, smooth in… smoother out
• Why a fast exhale spikes sympathetic drive (and how to calm it)
• Nose vs. mouth: when to switch (and why forcing nasal breathing can backfire)
• Gym myths: why breath-holding teaches your body to brace in the wrong place
• Recovery positions that actually help (and the one that doesn’t)
