Okay, so the 3-4-5 breath is just a very simple method I've created to help my patients. There are so many other amazing breathwork practices out there. I'm not saying you have to do this one. But the principle is that it will really help you calm, lower your stress, be more present. It shows you how interconnected the body is. So I would say something like the 3-4-5 breath is...

It's a really, really simple tool that you can use preemptively in the morning as part of a routine, a morning routine. Or when you're getting stressed out in the day, you have a meeting with your boss and let's say a disagreement with your husband.

You can actually just take a time out, do three, four, five breathing for just 30 seconds a minute, and you'll be much better able to engage once you've done it.

Yeah. Dad came to the UK in 1962 from India and... Dad's not been here now for almost 11 years. And it's almost the classic immigrant story, okay? He came to the UK in search of a better life, a better life for his immediate family in the UK and his family back home in America. But this is what my dad's life was like. My dad was a doctor. He was a consultant at Manchester Ward Infirmary.

But for 30 years, my dad only slept three nights a week. It is actually really hard for me to even imagine that now. As a father myself, thinking through to what my dad did and how he lived, I don't really understand how he was able to do it. But I think when you have a strong passion and a mission, it's amazing what you can achieve. So I've really evolved my view on my dad's life.

But in essence, when my dad became 57, he suddenly became sick with the autoimmune condition lupus. his kidneys failed and he was chained to a dialysis machine for 15 years, three times a week at the local hospital until dad died in 2013. Now I moved back to where I grew up, which is where I live now, which is, you know, you've been there when you came onto my podcast Mel a few years ago.

I live in the same town that I grew up in and I moved back to help my mum and my brother look after my dad. When my dad died in 2013, It was like a juggernaut explosion in my life. Like it is for many people, it's the first time I had to really confront death. I had to confront death as a doctor with patients for many years, but it's different. That's my job.

When it was with my dad, who I used to care for and see three times a day, I had this big hole in my life. And really, it was only after my dad died that I started to ask myself the big existential questions, Mel, about, well, whose life am I really leading? Is it my life? Is it someone else's life? So I've been on a real... journey since my dad died.
