How to Ease Into Correcting Your Breathing
He Suffered 70 Years of Brain Fog & Sleep Apnea — Then Fixed It by Practicing the “Wrong” Thing… on Purpose
This is one of the most powerful stories we’ve ever shared.
A man spent nearly seven decades battling crippling brain fog and severe sleep apnea. He tried everything — CPAP, medication, countless breathing courses — nothing worked.
Then, using a counter-intuitive technique from behavioral therapy called negative practice, everything changed in weeks.
The method is simple but brilliant:
Deliberately practice the dysfunctional habit perfectly — until you can switch it on and off at will.
Why? Because knowledge alone doesn’t break a habit. Even decades of study and “correct” breathing exercises won’t touch an unconscious pattern.
The habit itself must be identified, felt, and mastered — not avoided.
Once he could voluntarily trigger (and release) the old pattern, the brain fog vanished and his sleep apnea disappeared — for good.
The real magic happens when you:
- Become intimately aware of your hidden breathing habit
- Learn the exact symptoms it creates
- Get so comfortable with those symptoms that they lose their power over you
Watch the full (mind-blowing) story below.
