Summary of “The Way We Breathe Is Killing Us” by Roger Price

The Way We Breathe Is Killing Us is a groundbreaking book by Roger Price, a pioneer in functional breathing and respiratory health. Drawing on more than seven decades of clinical practice, teaching, and research, Price demonstrates how the seemingly simple act of breathing can either maintain health or contribute to the development of chronic disease.

This book is not about quick fixes or miracle cures. Instead, it examines how dysfunctional breathing, poor posture, stress, and modern lifestyle habits create compensatory mechanisms that drive many of today’s non-communicable diseases. With clarity, humor, and direct language, the author guides readers through:

• The shortcomings and blind spots of modern Western medicine

• How conditions such as asthma, sleep-disordered breathing, high blood pressure, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction often arise from overlooked root causes

• The crucial role of carbon dioxide, posture, airway function, and behavior in long-term health

• Practical strategies for restoring functional breathing and making better health choices in the future

The book is divided into six parts—ranging from the realities of today’s medical system, through problems and challenges, to solutions and future perspectives—and offers both education and a clear call to action.

Accessible, engaging, and deeply personal, The Way We Breathe Is Killing Us encourages readers to take their health into their own hands, starting with the most fundamental function of all: breathing.
