INSIGHTS & PERSPECTIVES
Research, critical perspectives and practical insights across breathing, sleep, stress physiology and human performance. A selection of ideas that inform how I work with people, practitioners and organisations.
FEATURED THINKING
My perspective on the evidence, its limitations and what it means for real people in real settings.
Why what we feel when we breathe can matter as much as the mechanics we measure. An exploration of respiratory sensations, perception and individual experience.
Read the articleA closer look at the danger of judging someone’s breathing by appearance alone, especially in demanding performance environments.
Read the articleWhy six breaths per minute is not a universal prescription—and how individual responses and measurement should inform practice.

Selected analysis and education hosted by School of Breath Science.
Separating breath-hold performance, respiratory sensations and the assumptions often made about chemosensitivity.
Why conscious control can sometimes increase perceived effort rather than improve performance.
Why a higher number should never replace interpretation in the context of symptoms, workload and recovery.
CONVERSATIONS & PODCASTS
Long-form interviews and educational conversations offer a different way to explore the questions behind my work.
GUEST CONVERSATION
A wide-ranging discussion of respiratory physiology, sleep, performance, air hunger and interoception.
Listen to the episode ↗GUEST CONVERSATION
A conversation on breathing, stress, sleep, perception and the role of context in applying breathing practices.

My podcast features research discussions, practitioner education, interviews and reflections across health and human performance.
Explore all episodes ↗PUBLISHED RESEARCH
I've contributed to peer-reviewed research in respiratory muscle training, exercise physiology and related aspects of human performance.
My published work also includes a theoretical review examining nasal breathing during endurance exercise. Research, interpretation and practical application each require their own level of evidence.
